Differences Between All Difficulties in Hogwarts Legacy

Here is what each difficulty offers you in this game:

• Story: This mode is for players who just want to experience the story mode of the game. You shouldn’t find any challenges tough or undoable and should be able to complete the game without fail.
• Easy: This mode is for players that are more casual or new to gaming. You will still get to fight enemies and solve puzzles. But they won’t hinder you much and you will still be progressing relatively faster.
• Normal: This mode is for an average player, allowing you both to enjoy the story. But will give you enough difficulties and challenges that you won’t be breezing through the game.
• Hard: This mode is for players that are looking for a challenge. The gameplay will be the hardest when compared to the previous difficulties. The puzzles will be very challenging and you won’t be cheesing through the enemies.

Which Difficulty should you Play On?

You should play on Story mode if you only want to play the story of Hogwarts Legacy. But if you are someone who loves fights and challenges in your games then based on how tough you want your playthrough to be you should select between the Normal and Hard modes.
