    "Play as anyone", sounds very good on paper. But it's not done right, it's weird and the dialogues are so bad that they're funny.

    Below Average at Best.

    Gameplay Loop: Probably the most enjoyable aspect of Legion with a multitude of ways to approach certain missions and gives you a decent variety. ( Most Definitely not all... a good amount are just limited to picking between Stealth / Guns Blazing ) World Building: A decent amount of building up the background of the world in Legion is decently done, with a    Below Average at Best.

    Gameplay Loop: Probably the most enjoyable aspect of Legion with a multitude of ways to approach certain missions and gives you a decent variety. ( Most Definitely not all... a good amount are just limited to picking between Stealth / Guns Blazing )

    World Building: A decent amount of building up the background of the world in Legion is decently done, with a standard attention to world design and art to make it somewhat believable.

    Story: Absolute Rubbish, If you play it, play it for the Gameplay because if you're looking for a okay, decent or good story.. it's definitely not in this game

    Protagonist / Character development - Non existent and not believable in any shape of form. At some point in the game you can recruit anyone in the world for your "Dedsec" cause which makes no sense what so ever. "Play as anyone" sounds great on paper but it greatly sacrifices character development and meaningful story.

    Visuals: With RTX and HDR, it's a pretty damn good looking game outside of very dated character models in some ways. The Graffiti Art and Murals found around the city of london are nicely done, but it's a very flat experience with no depth to the world design. There are definitely areas and buildings that stand out that are highly enjoyable to go down or look at. Texture Quality is acceptable with 4K Texture Pack installed. Some animations are high quality while others remain somewhat janky and seem disconnected.

    Performance: Running it at 4K RTX on a heavily OC'd 3090FE / 9700K @ 5.0ghz I was clocking 66 fps Average on the Benchmark with Ultra except shadows on high, and DLSS Quality / RTX Medium.
    The performance is really all over the place, Walking around in the outside parts of the city I'd average between 55-70fps depending on the density and weather. Using a Vehicle I would see framerates as low as 39. It's a poorly optimized title.

    Voice Acting: Mediocre at best, the voice AI doesn't match a lot of dialogue which looks very janky. A lot of clingy dialogue in the game that tries to appeal to youth today but misses the mark greatly and feels just straight up out of touch.

    Facial Animations: Really Janky, looks as if some characters are given puppet mouths for their dialogue. Definitely some of the worst I've seen in awhile.

    Audio: Running on a ZMF Verite / ZMF Pendant Tube Amp/ Denafrips PONTUS DAC and analyzing the quality of audio seperation ques, dynamic range, music and soundscapes of London - the over all quality is somewhat average and shouldn't expect anything spectacular.
    -Only your vehicle transmits radio music into the game world when exiting
    - Radio music selection is subjectively alright but mediocre in over all quality, sounds like they ripped straight up 128kbps files and threw them in as radio stations
    - Dynamic Range isn't that great as far as being accurate, voices are far too loud, vehicles sound way too soft with barely any texture, Guns lack "oomph" and use standard sound effects, Crashing into vehicles is the same generic sound file over and over again, NPC voice lines, while sometime hilarious, there's quite a small amount of lines and are heavily repeated through out my experience.
    -Imaging is fairly decent, it's easy to pick apart the placement of audio ques in the game world.
    -Fairly low amount of actual ambient sounds in the game, which is a bit immersion breaking
    -Voice Over quality is quite subpar from the norm thanks to the weird, digital sounding pitch shifts they used for voices.

    World Depth - It's very flat, don't expect a super dense interesting world, it's very "open world gamey" feeling in its presentation, although it does a decent job at pervading the world building aspect of the current political climate its set in

    NPC AI - Far below average for the most part, It will quickly be noticed that you can get away with quite a lot even though its suppose to be set in a very dystopian setting. It's a very immersion breaking aspect of the game and doesn't make it believable regardless of its setting.

    Aesthetics: Good in some ways, such as the strong Punk Rock / Metal culture vibes in some of the areas but quite cringy and out of touch in others. It honestly feels like they purposely ripped off a small chunk of what CDPR is looking to accomplish with Cyberpunk 2077 but in a tasteless, soulless way.

    Microtransactions: Despicable Predatory MTX model that shouldn't be included in single player titles that they most likely are looking to implement even more heavy into the multiplayer component once its released. There are progress boosters and Cosmetics.    … Expand

    Since I enjoyed the previous chapter, I thought this game would have been an improved version of its predecessor, simple but fun and, overall, well made, even if not perfect.
    Unfortunately, in my opinion, with this new chapter, Ubisoft completely missed the target.
    Technically the game is poorly optimized and performs badly on a mid-tier pc.
    The perceived visual quality, even with RTX enabled, is surprisingly mediocre and fails to give that satisfaction that I was hoping to get from a game like this.
    Sure the reflections are amazing, but the textures and game environment seem from an older game, lacking the quality I was expecting from a title like this.
    Technical part aside, I found the story too long and monotonous.
    In the previous chapter, the adventures of Marcus and his crew managed to pull me into the game and guide me smoothly till the end of the main story, making me feel involved in the narration.
    Unfortunately, this time, the story and narration are marginal and superficial, lacking that empathy with the characters and that feeling of diving into the storytelling that even a simple but well-narrated plot can deliver.
    I don't want to be drastic, but the storytelling was so marginal that, after a few hours, I gradually lost interest in the story without even realizing it.
    From that moment, the narration became nothing more than a navigator through the missions, just telling me what to do next.
    I also found, in general, the game's quests flat and repetitive, making the whole experience even more annoying.
    As previously said, I'm very disappointed by this game, and I hope Ubisoft will learn from this failure how to make something better next time, maybe shorter, a bit simpler, but with seriously improved quality.    … Expand

    This is a typical Ubisoft game. Decent story and map, but flawed in many ways.

    The strongest part of the game is the story, and that is saying something because while it has an interesting concept, it falls short in many areas due to moments of poor writing and voice acting. My favorite character ended up being an AI because all of the "main characters" were extremely shallow and had no depth. The final moments of the story, which were supposed to be dramatic, were ruined by poor voice acting, repetitive gameplay (I will touch on this later), and cringy one-liners. The story was interesting enough to keep me playing the game solely to know what happened to London at the end.

    The missions are the weakest point of the game. Every mission feels like it was literally copied and pasted from the last one. Infiltrate, hack, then leave. It took me until about halfway through the game to realize this, but once I did the entire game became a grind. I wanted to finish because the story was interesting and I like to finish what I start, but I didn't enjoy any other aspects of it. I applaud Ubisoft for trying something new with the "Play As Anyone" mechanic; however, this was possibly what made the game lack so much. In order to progress, you have to recruit operatives off the street, which involves the same mundane copy and paste missions from the main story. As a result of not having a main character that interacts with others, none of the characters have any depth. I also applaud the game for giving the player plenty of non-lethal combat options. I love when games do this because not all players want to run around the city as a homicidal madman.

    The technological aspects of the game are as bad as one can expect from a Ubisoft title. Bad optimization made the game literally unplayable at launch. When driving, even on an RTX 2080 Super, I was consistently getting 30 FPS or below. Luckily the game's optimization went from atrocious to bad with updates. Now the game is at least playable, but I don't get the performance I would expect from an RTX 3090 (I have upgraded my 2080 Super). I played with ray tracing off for the majority of the game because DX11 gave me better performance, and the benefits from ray tracing were entirely situational in this game. Sometimes the reflections looked great, other times it made the roads look like a mirror with a bright light reflecting up at you. Plus DLSS made all of the reflections fuzzy, and DLSS is needed to play with RT on. Water always looked horrible with RT on.

    The game took me around 25 hours to complete and has very little replayability due to the linear story. So this means that I essentially paid $2.40/hr for a mediocre experience.

    Conclusion: Don't buy this game for $60. Wait a year until there's more content, optimizations, and then wait until it's on sale for $20.    … Expand

    Very few of the ordinary citizens in London have any noticeable qualities, and they're all voiced by the same 10 or so voice actors, making the world seem much smaller and dull than you'd imagine it to be. And because there are so many different characters, interactions between your team and characters in the story are blatantly dull and generic. There's no one that you grow an emotional connection to, and there's no one that's worth rooting for, whether it's DedSec or not. There are practically no characters who actually have a decent backstory or interesting personality without being killed at the beginning of the game or getting almost no screen time whatsoever.

    The gameplay is almost nothing new besides from a few new additional gadgets. But it's the same premise - kill people, hack stuff, get in, and complete the objective. After playing for about 5-10 hours, the gameplay becomes repetitive and redundant, and it was a struggle for me to keep coming back to the game and force myself finish the campaign. There's almost no interesting story or creativity, probably due to the fact that Ubisoft was desperate to milk out one last game for the series, and it shows.    … Expand

All these cliched schmucks are just paper cutouts.

    More repetitive and boring gameplay, and a driving mechanic that somehow manages to be worse than the previous two games. I know, I didn't think that was possible either, but they somehow managed to pull it off. Not a fan of the push towards non-lethal methods either, which continues from WD2. Just let me air people out with an assault rifle, I have zero interest in being a soft cuddly goody two-shoes.

    *WOEFUL* PC optimization. I should not be having to turn settings down on an i9 with an RTX 3090 in an attempt to maintain 60FPS @ 4K.

    Shockingly poor voice acting and direction; we're talking Oblivion-level voice "skills" here. Facial animations are plasticy and unrealistic too. I guess they must have been taking lessons from early 2000s Bethesda.

    On the plus side, the recreation of London is attractive and interesting, even if I do wish it included more areas out to the east. In the end I ditched the story and gameplay itself and just went for a wander around some old haunts. Much more fun.

    I'm glad I didn't have to pay for this.    … Expand

    The good: London is cool. Walking around is by far the most enjoyable activity in the game.

All the missions are very booring and repetitive and come down to go the the red zone and either kill everyone or try to sneak past and click on the button, wait a few seconds and get out. Very few and uninspired side activities like parcel delivery that give no rewards.    The good: London is cool. Walking around is by far the most enjoyable activity in the game.

Reality is more the contrary of that. it implements new mechanics, a lot of new characters but, I have some points I consider relevant when buying a new game from a franchise.

    TL;DR: it's an interesting approach, but it's Ubisoft: Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V while changing the map, the story, new characters and adding some new mechanics. But it feels like the same. They didn't improved the graphics quality, the driving system is terrible, some good mechanics from the others games disappeared.

    1. Map & Ambient: I don't know if London was the best choice, but the ambient is always dark, rainy, and when it's sunny it feels odd, like a yellowish ambient. Night is more vibrant, so it's not that bad. However, I think, Future London is well executed and sometimes it's awesome to see all the details on every corner of the map.

    2. Driving: it feels like driving in GTA Vice City (and that could be offensive haha). They didn't upgrade the driving mechanic for this game and personally it feels worse than Watch Dogs 2. Also, the cars are too slow. I think, that was a decision based on the size of the map, but even with the fastest cars, it feels like 30mph.

    3. Graphics: what a disappointment! With a high-end PC and a good ultrawide gamer monitor, in some scenarios it feels like a game from 2012 or something. I think the lightning system is not good. With HDR and without it, after adjusting everything, the colors, the light, the shades and the characters seems to be from another decade. Games like Farcry 5 or even WD2 have a better graphic system. Sometimes GTA V feels more recent that WDL.

    4. Missions: a really interesting story, but more of the same mechanics. Enter a building and hack a computer, hack a server, steal something... It has new things, but it lacks of innovative things to do.

    5. Recruit characters: I find this was a really good step on the franchise. It's really funny to enter the prohibited buildings with a character that is an employee of that company. However, the missions to recruit are too repetitive.

    6. Characters: I love how every character has a life in the game. On the bad side, sometimes the voices doesn't represent the character.

    6.1. NPC's: How it's possible that in 2020 the NPC's get stuck in a wall while walking? Also, the police/chases are a little bit buggy. For example, I entered a forbidden building and the guards saw me and started to walk away running. Another: I was being chased by the police and I hid on a wall while they were looking at me, and that was it, I lost the police. Disclaimer: Probably they are gonna fix that behavior, but in the meantime I'll leave this here.

    7. Interface, Gameplay & Controls: The interface is well designed but they changed too much the controls and the mechanics of them. After more than a month playing, some things on the gameplay feels awkward. Now our character doesn't have a cellphone, so in order to, for example, take a picture, you need to hold X and then press 9 and then the camera will show up that's not intuitive. It feels awkward to do that. A cellphone was a better idea, maybe with an holographic screen to be more futuristic.

    8. Price: I don't know why I payed too much for this game. This game is overpriced if it's sold as part of WD franchise. If this was sold as a new franchise, maybe the price would be correct.

    Things to consider before buying.
    1. If your are new to the franchise it will be worth it.
    2. If you had played WD1 and WD2 I will consider buying the game on sale.    … Expand

    Instead of waiting at least a week for reviews I got this game since I got a new RTX 3080 card and wanted to see what the raycast effects looked like.

    Disappointed (when it came out last October) to find that the online play wouldn't be available for months. One of the great features of WD2.

    First odd thing I noticed is the character generation. You have to choose from one of several randomly generated choices. You skin color, sex, etc., and you can't reroll to get another random set.
    If you are not satisfied with the random choices you get, you go play through the intro mission again.
    Hello I'm random, are you random too?

    This is so strange and offsetting. Why do I want to play a game where I'm just some rando?
    In real life I can just go walk around a shopping mall and merge into the crowd if I want that.

    Then you can play as another rando operative, the pick more rando NPCs so you can play them.
    Who in the hell wants to play this?
    People want to play someone special, the hero, etc., they want to be a meaningful protagonist or antagonist.
    Why can't we just play Dalton (the interesting James Bond like guy in the intro)?

    This game is the sign of the times where some purple hair, weed smoking, androgynous, birkenstock wearing SJW designer(s) are let loose on Ubisoft whom must have fully embraced woke culture.

    Let's make a game with "unity", were we are all the same; man, woman, thing, short or tall, any melatonin (yet disproportionately dark) shade. Utopia is here! Weeee!

    Sure London looks pretty, but it's all soulless, lacks character, boring, and directionless.

    I feel so disappointed by this game that i felt compelled to make an account to tell you how bad it is.

    The good:
    - Graphically, its pretty good. A lot of people have talked about issues with performance, but from what i can tell that was patched out before i purchased the game.
    - The recreation of London is pretty good - even some buildings that are not landmarks (but most people will recognise if you've walked down the street) have some good and faithful portrayals here.
    - From memory, WD1/2 did not have any kind of flying mode, which this game has added, its pretty cool to see London in the 3rd dimension.

    The bad
    - The story is horrifically bad, DEDSEC has been framed for the killings of thousands of people across London in 3 terrorist bombings, and you can just walk the street asking if people want to join. Throw in the hilariously bad recruitment missions and people sign up willingly. Imagine if ISIS approached you, roughed up your old boss that you didn't like, and you accepted that as justification and reason enough to join the most wanted terrorist group in the UK.

    - The recruit anyone mechanic isn't very clever. There is absolutely no reason to do anything with anyone other than the person you start with. The abilities you get are minor % increments over the base stats, meaning you can spend 3 hours to find the perfect recruit, and you've completely offset any gains of having them. The recruitment missions are long winded and silly, and repeat regularly, with even the same building, dialogue, objectives.

    - The recruit anyone mechanic has some very serious downsides, these include TERRIBLE facial animation as they have tried to make 15 or so voice actors hit a million randomly generated NPC's, and it just delivers terrible terrible results, its massively immersion breaking. It might be "Funny" having an 80 year old white woman talk like a 20 year old Roadman, but it wears off very quickly.

    - You cannot develop your operatives at all,what you recruit is what you get. You can unlock more weapons and gadgets, but that's it.Its all done through a central tech purchasing menu and applies to all operatives.

    - The main downside is that you're robbed of a good character, Aiden was a bit bad i admit, but I genuinely liked Marcus, i don't care about any of the operatives as they are immediately replaced, just cannon fodder. Though, they'll only ever die if you do something monumentally stupid or if the game somehow breaks and just spontaneously blows up your car...again.

    - Every single line of dialogue has some terrible joke in it, its constant, never ending. If they're not making some terrible joke, its some inane political commentary. "Oh haha, that guy is about as popular as a french football team" or "Searching for footage of police brutality, this might take a while...Oh, that was easy". It's constant.

    - Fundamentally, at its core, its just a boring game. The gameplay loop is a simplified version of the previous games, with a lot functionality removed, and I'm not entirely sure why. A lot of the special ability hacks in previous games have not been carried over to this one, such as blackout, or my personal favourite call police/gang members to harrass people.

    - The new "improved" melee combat is a bit half baked, every single opponent has the exact same fighting style, meaning that after you've fought two enemies it becomes telegraphed and you can set your watch to what the npc will do next. It plays like an old Assassins creed game, dodge counter, dodge counter.

    - The addition of "Health" to NPC's is not a wise choice, enemies survive head-shots, the pseudo realism of the combat of previous games was one of the best aspects, i'm sad that it has been MMO'd like the Division with kids in hoodies having health bars equivalent to being in full riot gear.

    -The physics are dreadful, the driving is terrible, spongy, and just doesn't work. They largely fixed the driving in WD2 so not sure why its gone back to the way it was previously.

    - The police are so laughably bad, you can go on a melee rampage but as long as you don't pull a gun nothing will happen, if it does, the police will spawn 15 feet away from you and you just drive around two corners and you're home free.

    - The radiant AI is horrific. You'll walk down the street and everyone is calling you, or someone, a prick, a wanker, or all sorts of horrible language that's okay in moderation but its CONSTANT. Literally every NPC you walk past on the street is shouting curse words, its insane.

    I've just ranted a few of the key things that have really disappointed me, i've not even mentioned the fact that you can use the construction drone to basically "Skip" most of the game, land next to your objective, hop off, press Y and fly off into the sunset. If UPlay didn't have terrible DRM policies i would refund it, but i cant.

The whole game has a district lack of attention to detail and polish. So many games this generation have pushed the medium of gaming forward in meaningful ways but Ubisoft one of biggest, richest publishers continues to give us uninspiring out of date trash..Sure they pull a rabbit out of their hats occasionally but overall enough is enough.
    Literally the only thing that could be innovating is the ability to play as any character and even that is rubbish. Everyone in this world is ugly and idiotic, could not find a single character I was invested in and the whole system is just shallow RNG tricks.
    The worst and most unforgivable thing about the game is its creator stubbornness in bring a 60fps mode to next gen consoles. Apparently it got ray tracing and runs in 4K, how hard would it have been to lower the resolution to 1440p and remove ray tracing for a Smooth experience. Once the new machine are out I wont buy a single game that is running a 30FPS. They dont have the CPU to blame anymore and consumers should expect better.    … Expand

    Hire normal programmers so that the open world is responsive to the actions of the characters, and not passive.
    In the game, where the power in the city, was seized by an evil corporation, in fact, there are not any changes, what's before, what's after. All the same live their usual life and live like this, drive by typewriters, walk and other ordinary everyday affairs.
    DedSec is no longer fighting the system of total surveillance, even before the "evil corporation" it was the norm.
    Again, in a game with an 18+ rating, the cruelty of this very "evil corporation" is not shown normally. That sometimes, they arrest someone, but this is so routine and stupidly done in the game.

    Drones fly around in the game, but not they, not who does not react to the player's actions. Nobody cares. There are only closed areas where they somehow react to the player's actions. And why not the whole city is in the red zone and only by liberating it, the NPCs would begin to live their usual life.
    Most NPCs should think that DedSec is bad and only a select few NPCs should be DedSec followers. But even that is not.

    You did not draw any conclusions from the last part, when the system was removed there - good / bad, although it was ideal for the second part, when in part 2 the players collected subscribers and for every bad action they had to lose them. But no.

    Fire all those testers, kick them in the neck who tested the game for you.
    In this part, the world is generally passive. The game is awfully easy.
    NPCs absolutely can do everything, everything is the same as all other NPCs. Where is the limitation, so that each NPC could, something of its own. So that someone from the NPC does not know how to fight, most NPCs should not be able to shoot. Every NPC, EVERYONE! There should be both pros and cons. And the main disadvantage is to make it interesting to choose characters.
    So there are no minutes at all. There is no point in choosing someone.
    We are stupidly carrying out the mission of any NPC and he joins. Everything!
    Although it seems like the NPC has relatives, friends, enemies, but this is not as disclosed in the game.

    The enemies in the game are absolutely stupid dummies. Who always have their backs to the player. They raise the alarm, calm down after a minute. As well as break away instantly from the chase.
    Ok, this was only done in the first part, when there was constant reinforcement. When, over time, the character was found even in the car and he had to hide in garages and in the car itself. Where to do this mechanic? Why is she cut from the game?

    With each new part, more and more mechanics, working mechanics you Ubisoft cut out of the game. And the game turns into a dummy.

    In the second part, at least it was sometimes difficult. There were also armored fighters and enemies called for reinforcements. Good "heroes" created any game on their missions and it was not evaluated by the game. Here it is simply not noticed by the game at all.

    The same spider in the game is just a cheat. Who can do absolutely anything. Even the neutralization of enemies. Unlike the same machines from the last part of the game.
    All missions are stupidly passed by this spider, sitting around the corner, 99% of missions.
    There is no difficulty in the game. No chases. No cool action game.
    All missions in the game are divided into 3 types.

    I generally keep quiet about the plot - this is the bottom. For some reason, AI has been added to the game, but at the same time it has human emotions. And people are perceived as computers, with their dry answers.
    Even at the beginning, when we have not yet restored DedSec, we can also hack everything, control from a distance and get into cars, no questions at all. The head of DedSec is underground, but at the same time has the time and opportunity to put makeup on his face.

    I will repeat it again. The game lacks details. Reactions to the actions of the characters, even the confrontation in the areas of the people of DedSec and Albion after the liberation of the areas would be in place.

    And most importantly!!! The game lacks complexity. So that DedSec would seem to come out of the shadows, so that the system would find them, so that the reaction to offenses in the game was harder, stronger, more aggressive. To feel fear and oppression in the game. For the player to be afraid for their characters. But all this is not. Dummy game. In beautiful scenery.
    With constantly repeating missions in slightly different locations.

    A game that has a rating of 18+ but in terms of complexity, management, plot, it was as if it was created with a rating of 10+, all non-lethal weapons in the game and other boredom.
    It does not touch on serious topics. Yes, earlier cartoons for children were deeper than modern games for adults.

    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]
