You can not play the story mod in coop. it was the most important option for me and my friend but no. no story coop but be happy to drive around in empty map of online where you can play a few missions that are impossible even if you have a team.

    After the first two games were kinda fun, this one was absolutely horrible. The Legion mechanic is absolutely not worth pursuing, and all the missions are absolute chores. Characters are absolutely one dimensional and are rebellious in a way a 14yo in his edgy phase is.

    Save your money.

    It WILL be a waste of your time. Trust me. Every Ubisoft game becomes repetitive and tedious very quickly. This one is around 3 hours in, everything starts to be the same mechanics over and over again.

    Had they let players create their own character i would have given them a decent score other than that the game looks garbage boring story, i thought watch dogs 2 was cringe of a game but this one right here took it to the next level of cringe. the original warch dog deserves a visit after all.

    Graphics are decent and that's all there is. I played only 3 hours because there was nothing engaging. Magic hijacking and pointless missions supporting a stupid plot and the most ridiculous: the mask the team member wear when they get into action.

    After playing the second chapter of the Watch Dogs saga, I was excited at the announcement of this new game.
    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.

    in short, the game is so boring, tons of useless collectibles as its the usual Ubi****, even the bloodline DLC is crap, you play 20% as Aiden and then the rest is wrench although it should be about Aiden not wrench, anyhow, its not that exciting nor a fun game.

    На i5-9600k @ 5.000 Ghz и RTX 3060 наблюдаются просадки до 55 fps в разрешении 1080p. Пробовал самые низкие настройки и разрешения - просадки остались. Значит производительность упирается в процессор. Xbox Game Bar показывает что используется только 70% мощности процессора, а видеокарта даже не напрягается. Если бы основная часть была бы интересной, можно и потерпеть, но тут не тот случай.

    I love the game. The story is brilliant. The atmosphere is great. The game has grown very close to my heart. Main game and DLC Season Passes: Played through everything completely. Super UBISoft. Great game. Too bad that not a second Season Pass comes. I can recommend to everyone. Aiden Pearce, Wrench, the humor of Bagles. Ingenious.

    Legion is a mix of ideas that doesn't work as whole. The story is pretty weak, short, and not having any real main character makes it impossible to feel much integrated in it.
    About the recruiting concept, could be nice but needs some proper work behind it. Recruitable characters are mainly the same with different abbilities, but when a spy, an anarchist and a construction worker talk in exactly the same way...the lack of work on them shows.
    Difficulty is non-existant basically. Yes, a few of the last missions make you get in gunfights with many enemies, but apart from that you can basically use your spider bot (that's crazy op) to do every single mission, not even having to get your operative in restricted areas. And even if you do, you can easily go guns blazing without a problem.
    If we get into vehicles, thats another dissapointment. The futuristic look just gave developers the perfect excuse to put next to zero work in this. They're way too similar, most of them empty (yes, "IA driving" might work for taxis but not for all) and sound is so bad that you almost don't see the difference when it gets bugged and just dissapears, wich happens a lot (one of many, many bugs).
    So talking about bugs, having played the game way after it's release date, it's amazing how many there are even for an Ubi game (we know they're quite the bug lovers). Car sound dissapearing being one, npcs appearing from nothing while you're driving in the middle of the road (sometimes Albion sees you killing them and you get into a nice bug-pursuit) when not appearing fighting in the middle of a highly restricted area. Typical texture problems with characters as well, or those drones flying inside others, teletransporting instead of flying (no fps problems, just bugged)...just too many for a supposedly top class game.
    Missions are ultra repetitive, even main missions have always the same "hack this, fight there" sctructure. Secondary missions are a mix of no story, hack and kill and a few decent missions, while recruiting missions are just nonsense. Just the same 4 or 5 standard missions on repeat, having nothing to do with the character itself.
    So yes, I think it's pretty bad for what what's supposed to be, but still a 4 because you can get some decent play hours out of it (even when it feels more arcade than sandbox).
    On the good side, playing in London is a nice update from repeating the same USA cities over and over again.

    Absolutely awful in terms of performance (performance is crap regardless of settings and hardware); gameplay is a joke as well. Watchdogs 1 was a great game; after that, ubisoft can only produce trash. Same goes for what came after Wildlands, Odyssey, and The Division. The games they make now target idiocracy.

    But as you dive into Watch Dogs Legion and explore further, it becomes clearer that the game isn't much more than a cheap, milked sequel.

    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.

    I got the game with my new 3080 graphics card which makes it more funny that i can barely run the thing. poorly optimized doesn't even begin to describe it. I tried to push on but the writing is a joke and there is little to no immersion when the gangsters are all made up by middle aged women.

    -Почему я должен постоянно логиниться в ubisoft connect? Каждый день запуская игру, мне приходится страдать - писать длинные имейл и пароль.

    -Игры нет в Steam

    -Покупка на других площадках не спасёт от дополнительного лаунчера в виде Uplay

    -Игру невозможно закончить элементарно из-за багов. У меня киберпанк на памяти вылетел лишь пару раз за всё прохождение. Watch Dogs у меня вылетел 4 раза только за сегодняшний день.

    В Watch Dogs Legion в отличии от нормальных типа Witcher 3, Metro Exodus и Cyberpunk 2077 нет зон комфорта и заданий для отдыха, где игрок мог бы разбавить бесконечную беготню чем-то иным. Игра ощущается как работа, как симулятор некой неоплачиваемой работы. Я хотел я отдыхать после тяжелого трудового дня, а не получать еще больше стресса. Стресс в игре бесконечен и нет места где я чувствовал себя в игре уютно.
    Бесконечные бои и погони - это очень выматывает и после 4 часов игры я чувствую себя изможденным и травмированным. Я не могу в этом тексте уместить всю тяжесть на душе, что я чувствую. Этой игрой можно пытать людей.
    Игра для нердов ноулайферов которым реально пострелушки кажутся чем-то интересным. Спасают игру лишь её посыл ввиде критики тоталитаризма, вопросы приватности и социальная повестка. Ну и виртуальный туризм по лондону. А так - весь геймплей это "пойди убей принеси" и так до бесконечности. В чём смысл этой чуши, зачем тратить на это время.

    Why do Ubisoft do this? They make a game that looks great and even has considerable detail of the world to the real world location but then they make the gameplay boring and repetitive giving you very little reason to want to stay in the world! If only Ubisoft could pair up with CDPR or even Bethesda when it comes to plot they would have a winner.

    Runs like a Potato on a RTX 2080 Super with DLSS and RTX in FHD. The Game itself is okay but a little bit boring nothing special. The Story is uncreative, but the Performance makes it one of the worst games 2020 after Cyberpunk. Too much Stutter just a simple console port.

    In summary: A soulless, woke, game that wants you to like communism.

    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.
    Better off playing WD2 again and hope they come to their senses and recover with a decent WD4.

    The play as any NPC was promising but just feels gimmicky : you can complete the game without changing of character ( aside from one or two missions where the game forces you to ). I mean, they could have designed the game so that you'd really need to change charcter ! But no. Guess the writing is not the only thing that's lazy about this game.

    The open world lacks atmosphere : I mean it's supposed to be futuristic London, a few neon lights and self driving cars are not really impressive.

    The game is overall good looking but the animations look awful : they seem so dated and your character moves so robot-like ( there's your future atmosphere lol ).

    I put roughly 25 hours in the game and played through geforce Now so i could push the graphics and even then the game had a few crashes. And oh, the LOADING TIMES ARE SOOOOOOOOO LONG it's truely baffling at that stage.

    I really wish Ubi would commit to a single character and give them a focused story even if the campaign for only 20 hours.

    Including this, there are also those bugs... Like, Ubisoft took another year to release this, and still this is happening? The npcs are not capable of functioning together with the traffic. They jump randomly onto the streets and the game mechanics are also not that satisfying at all.
    The story in this game is also very, very unsatisfying. I dont want to spoil here, but... the stereotypes in this story - atleast thats how I see it - are really hitting hard.
    So... about the world itself. The design of it is pretty decent, London looks great... BUT, its basically an empty city. The full potential of this map isnt used. Another thing disturbing me is this "cybepunky" like design flaw they choose. Everywhere - and when I say everywhere I mean everyhere - you see some shiny blinky led. The whole city basically is a giant rgb- gaming pc. This could've been handled better... less exaggerated.
    Now about the missions...
    You can free boroughs, you can recruit characters - which is not really necessary at all, cause you can basically do everything with one character - and of course there are the main missions.
    I dont want to talk about those, I want to talk about the secondary missions...
    I mean, they are cringy. Everytime you free a borough there is this random firework, with people shouting "ded sec go" or something similar like that. I get the idea behind it, but I can fairly say that this is repeating history. When I free a borugh, I want to have the feeling that theres some sort of tension getting created by us (dedsec), and I dont just want to have firework representing that everything is going to be fine, or that we are in control now - atleast partly. The game just feels... I wouldnt say incomplete, but it feels like something is missing.
    I get, when you say it is a good game... but my personal opinion is, that this game is not worth the money you paid for. Also, just a side note... the most awesome thing I experienced during this game, was a motorbike driving around circles and hitting humans until they are knocked out.

    Features a partial aesthetic resembling that of a cyberpunk fiction, all without the narrative depth that would bring it to life. A nauseatingly corporate produced copy and paste open world, with absolutely no inspiration in sight. You really can't make any NPC picked off the street into a compelling protagonist.

I don't need to mentione the lack of help from Ubisoft. They were quick to respond, but every time I contacted them I always got the same "solutions", no matter I have tried everything they wrote in their troubleshoot. In the end it turned out to be a missing dll file (vcruntime140_1.dll) to be precise. So in case anyone is having issue launching the game at start you could try finding this file somewhere and put it in your system32 folder. It worked for me and for many others.
    As for the game I am having fun playing it. The fight mechanics are fun, engaging, although it can get a bit repetetive. Missions are also fun, sometimes a bit repetitive, but still fun. Playing with gadges around, you don't even have to physically enter a restricted area most of the times to complete objectives, your gadgets can do the job. You can pretty much recruit every NPC you find on the street and play with him/her. Just mind you that you have a limit of how many people you can recruit. You can always retire a character from you crew and recruit another.
    Overall, the game is fun, but random crashes could occur. And don't waste your time contacting Ubisoft support. They are kind and try to help, but their solutions are pretty much useless, sorry to say that, but that's the truth, and in the end they abandon your case as they consider it as "resolved".

    Car driving, is something even difficult to describe - weird, bad, awful - simply won't describe it. It just super retarded. I think as a developer you need to make extra efforts to make in game driving so miserable and annoying.

    I spent about 30 hours in the game and don't feel like running it again. It is simply not engaging and also very repetitive. Even the "open world" is just a decoration and made to be big to increase your travel time from A to B, NOTHING is happening there apart from the story.

The car destruction system is horrible, driving is horrible, trees, streetlights, and fences continue with the Watch Dogs 1 bug of falling in slices. You can fall from 5000 metres height and you won´t get damage, also if you get hit by a car no damage is applied to you or knockback. This is my review simply they continue without solving those problems that they have till the first game was released. The story is a bit poor with 3 villains that for me they are not as bad to be villains, the character system that you can recruit everyone makes it impossible to empathize with them because they die and they are gone forever and you simply take another agent and that's it.

    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.

    On a technical level it's decent. Same basic gameplay as the first two games, really almost nothing has changed with the core mechanics at all.

    What it boils down to: This game is like an allergic reaction to the first two watch dogs games in a lot of ways, just as 2 was an allergic reaction to 1. Watch dogs 1 was really dark and didn't end on a happy note, and the main character wasn't really a good guy but rather just someone living a risky lifestyle who became unhinged when his lifestyle actually resulted in serious consequences. Some people didn't like that (although I thought it stood out as a nice change of pace) so WD2 attempted to avoid that and overshot, becoming a game that felt like a cartoon with a completely tone deaf theme from the ground up. Legion basically tries to undo some of those mistakes by going for a sort of dark, but not too dark middle of the road approach. Seems like a good idea in theory, but there are a few issues in practice. For one, the middle of the road approach is coupled with a really generic plot, and those two factors combine to make for an extremely boring story. Add to that the play as anyone mechanic and the situation is further dragged down. A mild theme with a generic plat that doesn't even have any central characters to care about...

    OK so the plot is bad... but if the gameplay were good then at least it would be a fun open world to explore, however that isn't really the case either. I can't think of very many open world games that manage to look the same everywhere you go as much as this game does. Every corner feels the same. There is no meaningful variation to the look and feel of different areas of the map at all. The map could be ten times as big or ten times as small and hardly anything about the game would be different. The driving is also not good, as with all open world Ubisoft games, the physics just don't feel believable at all and it makes the driving really uninteresting. Even a boring map can be fun to traverse if the driving is fun but sadly that is not the case.

    Play as anyone: Seems like a cool concept at first but really, it's just a handicap to the player. In the other WD games, the player was basically a jack of all trades. In legion, the player will usually only have one or two abilities. It's essentially as if you took the player from WD1 who was great with guns, hacking, hand to hand combat and stealth and limited the player to only being able to do one of those things at a time. This could be balanced out if there were characters that could be unlocked/found that had more interesting abilities but that really doesn't feel like the case either. While there are technically some higher tier characters the game will steer you towards, none of them actually feel significantly better than any character you can find off the street which makes unlocking them feel entirely pointless and unrewarding.

    Other really stand out issues: The AI is bad, REALLY bad. It's as if the enemies are trying fairly hard to look away from you most of the time and very often will just end up standing in a corner looking at the wall. It's very common to be able to just walk through a base without trying to to avoid any AI and complete the objective without any enemies bothering you. I have the game set to the hardest difficulty setting on top of that.

    In short, everything about this game is extremely mediocre. The AI is stupid to the point of feeling broken. It's almost impressive how much this game avoids actually being fun. It feels like a quality game at first, the graphics are good and it seems like there is a lot to do at first but this game is ultimately just the sum of it's parts and all of those parts are basic at best but more often lean towards bad.

    I think you might like this game only if you didn't play WD1 or 2 and then you might find some of the mechanics to be new and interesting for a little while but as a Watch Dogs game I think this one is probably the worst. I thought 1 was really good, 2 was cartoony but the gameplay was still good enough. Legion manages to avoid repeating and of the major criticisms from WD 1 and 2 but in doing so they made a game so watered down that it's just not fun.

    1. Story was really worse. Couldn’t even understand the ending why did she betray and kill her self. Also recruiting story is ordinary and doesn’t have an unique story on each person.
    2. There’re so many bugs prevents story progress. For example what I experienced was fell down to underworld while going up stairs and rebooted game for triple times.
    3. There’s no gun can damage NPCs. Need to hijack enemy drones and this is really boring for those who may want to shoot and kill.
    4. Hacking is downgraded. As other person mentioned, player can’t use their mobile to hack traffic lights or manholes.
    5. First person view while driving is not implemented.

    For those reasons, this game is not worth to spend almost $60 and should not buy.

    This is sold as a completely new adventure on Watch Dogs saga. 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.

    *I'll admit up front that I was only able to play a few hours of this game before I had to abandon it completely, so take this review as you will.

    The game starts by throwing you into a classic British espionage but in a London completely run by big tech. Drones crowd the air, automated taxis are everywhere, and a private military group basically runs the city. As interesting as this all may seem it ends up coming across as extremely haphazard.

    The gimmick of Watch Dogs: Legion is that there is no main character. You represent the Dedsec organization and can recruit members to join. You then play as any of these members. This makes the game play almost rougelike. Because there is no main character it's not easy to feel involved in the story or the characters as they can be tossed aside at any moment.

    The quests, UI, narrative, characters, basically the entire game seems to be fighting with itself over what the vision of the game is supposed to be.

    The general mission mechanics are ok, a lot of the same from the previous game. You can hack stuff (cool), and you get a bunch of gadgets (cool), but the missions are so drab that none of that really matters. You end up having a bunch of tools that you don't really need but are just nice to have.

    The visuals are pretty average. I have the settings at absolute max with raytracing and it's nothing spectacular. I mean, it's pretty, and things are sharp but there isn't much to look at.

    Overall, Watchdogs: Legion is an interesting experiment trying to mix the GTA like open world games with a roguelike mechanic but the lack of any real substance doesn't make you want to come back.

Stealth also not that great which is a shame, again preferred it in the og watch dogs.

    Only positive I can give is the game looks pretty good, but paying nearly £60 for this really ain’t worth it

    Very repetitive and generic. While some of the mechanics are interesting it's easy to loose interest in the game due to a watered narrative.

    To talk about immersion and the story are practically inexistent, the characters feel like plastic when they talk, no emotion expressed or whatsoever.

    The only good thing is the city that looks great. I have to give credit for the great take on London.

I've seen other reviews say that the "recruit anyone" thing sounds good on paper, but I think it was a bad idea ever at the drawing board. Hands up who has ever been interested in playing as Johnny NPC in any other title? A lack of a main character makes it very difficult to get emotionally invested in the story. 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.

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

    The bad: Very barebones. 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.

A lot of missed opportunities with missing landmarks in London like Sherlok Holmes house, The Zoo, Primrose Hill, Savile Row, etc. You can go inside very few buildings, mostly pubs. The forced diversithy bacame exausting very fast. The games crashed a lot on PC and spent more time trying to get the game to run than playing it. In 20 hours you can do everything in the game. The recruit everyone mechanic is shallow and adds very little to the experience since you can de everything with everyone and there is no growth for any of the characters.

Compared to legion, legion has mainly spiderbots and not much else, the games story missions are mainly just repeated "get in and out".

    No subway trains. They are only in the mindset of a supposedly clone game to perform practically the same type of missions a hundred times.
    At this rate Ubisoft will soon be trampled...

    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]
