What's crazy to me is that after the first week or two, I didn't see anyone talking about it. I kind of assumed it either flopped or was mediocre but I guess people just silently played it?
It has that mainstream appeal as in being a brand parents know (Harry Potter) and being pretty inoffensive (i.e. no guns and blood or sex and partying) so I imagine just about every kid with a system it runs on and in the age bracket of 6-16 got it for Christmas or their Birthday despite not being on the wishlist.
And it is actually pretty fun, if really simple in a lot of ways.
Good point!
