    Honestly pretty solid game, specially considering how weak year 2020 has been for games (so far), last of us (lies) 2 was awful, re 3 remake was 4 hours long speedrunner simulator, doom eternal was fine but nothing special (too much parkour for doom game).

    If you don't want some extremely deep lore and just wanna free roam and recruit random npc's then by any means it's worth trying out. No bugs so far.

    The whole "play as anyone" feature is a blessing and a curse. It's a lot of fun recruiting people and creating your own group but the characters all feel a bit too generic. I keep getting mis-matched voices - a bad-ass looking cage fighter with a super posh accent etc... The perma-death feature makes up for it though as it actually means something to die...

    Overall, it's a decent game - don't expect it to be something it's not. It's another Watch Dogs game with a few improvements over the last 2 and a few regressions.    … Expand

    It's overall very fun game. Performance of course depends on your PC, but basically if you want these reflections you need RTX GPU. And these RTX reflections truly look nice. It's almost weird going back to older open world games after experiencing it in Legion.

    Pretty solid game to pass time with or just have fun in the city. What makes this game different from other watch dogs games is "recruit anyone" mechanic, basically play as any npc you see on streets. And you can build an army of people basically. But there will be later dlc that focuses on single character story, so basically this game has both aspects.

    Easily the best watch dogs in the series, overall gameplay has been refined nicely. The permadeath feature adds more to the game than i expected, even trivial encounters like ramming a police car become life and death. When you know you wont just end up with a fine or an injury, you may loose a rare character, you tend to play differently.

The permadeath feature adds more to the game than i expected, even trivial encounters like ramming a police car become life and death. When you know you wont just end up with a fine or an injury, you may loose a rare character, you tend to play differently. The learning curve may be painful at times as nothing sucks more than doing several missions to play a character only to get him/her killed before you learn how to play them. If you stick with the game you will find another recruit later that is as good or at least a variation of the one you lost, but that is little consolation when you ram an exploding barrel on accident and die instantly (or worse, loose a character to a gameplay glitch).

    This game is a solid 8 and would be a 9 if it was released with more polish. I have noticed a few bugs... lost a little progress here and there, but it was to the types of things that you KNOW will get fixed in future patches. There is great variety in the citizens of the city, each being a potential recruit (even the bad guys). Each character I have spent any time doing missions with has sounded and looked very different although I suspect the thick accents make that easier for them.

    The tech tree and progression have been slimmed down, and some gadgets are so overpowered than you end up never using some of the others (I am looking at you, spiderbot!). Still, hacking cargo drones to ride like surfboards is fun. So is putting a turret on top of your car and driving around, and so are countless other combinations of mechanics.

    If you are a fan of earlier Watch Dogs games than this is a must-have. If you want a GTA clone with a few new mechanics, it is worth a buy. If you intend to play this game without permadeath (characters get sent to hospital for 'x' hours) then i would say there may not be enough new types of things to keep your attention. It would still be a good game, but it would be a generic GTA knockoff to be picked up on sale.    … Expand

    The "PLAY AS ANYONE" mechanic works like Ubisoft promised. That you can play as any Citizen and that's out there!, problem is that i heard the same "Piss easy, i got this" voice line for so many times my ears went numb, may sound bad but honestly just switch the character if that pisses you off (if you don't want to, too bad).

    The World, Oho the World, Ubisoft has made a beautiful World set in London. Every corner of the world is wonderfully designed and kept alive because of the different Citizens!

    Reading these 0 score reviews is literally hillarious. It's so very clear that these are either double accounts or just losers who never actually play games and possibly just watch livestreams. Watch Dogs Legion is nothing special, but i had way more fun with this, than for example with RE 3 Remake or Marvel's Avengers.

    Legion is a return to the darker roots of Watch Dogs. It is also the best game in the series, regardless of whether you’re inclined to avoid violence and solve problems DedSec style (by hacking), or prefer to unleash a hail of bullets. The story improved big time and it is unsettling to realize how much the game’s dystopian reality resembles our own. [13/2020, p.62]

    Watch Dogs: Legion is a fun game, but in the end it doesn't stand out. The possibility of recruiting anyone is ambitious, but many, perhaps even more important elements have fallen victim to it. The game unfortunately falls into the ranks: to play and forget. [Issue#307]
