    First true AAA game that takes place in London. This game is worth experiencing for just that alone. Hacking cars and drones is just bonus.

It’s a darn beautiful open-world playground to have fun in. You get a lot of gameplay nothing amazing but everything ok/Good Level. It does not really introduce it’s mechanics in the best way but you need to kind of find a handful of npc’s that you really enjoy, and this might take some time. Shooting is for sure one of the weaker aspects of the Game. A Game like this would have needed the immersive rag-doll physics, but instead it’s more arcady and yeah you can shoot NPC’s a few times before they go down. But this is Common these days as every game is getting designed to have a Online Mode. I felt more Stealthy on this than AC: Valhalla. I must admit the Stealth is not bad as you have the Hacking to Support you, and yes the Takedowns are Very Cool. You have all sorts of ways to do things, use you imagination.

    All in All if you play this by using your own imagination and make your own game, then you have a whole City as your Playground. If you come for a story to blow your mind and take you by the hand from the beginning to the end, then No it’s not this Game. It’s also a Unique Open-world title, one of it’s own Kind. 8/10    … Expand

Set in a near future London; players take on the personal of operatives for a hacker group known as Dedsec.

    In the aftermath of a bombing by an entity known as Zero Day in which Dedsec is blamed; London has become a police state thanks to a private security company named Albion who were installed to keep the peace.

    Players must complete various infiltration and hacking missions across the sprawling city to get the needed evidence behind the attack as well as correct various criminal injustices that arise during the course of the game.

    Since the game takes place in a very large and highly-detailed city; there are some vast distances players must travel to complete their various missions. Thankfully there are numerous cars, trucks, busses, bikes, scooters, boats, and more which can be used to navigate the city. Late in the game I became a big fan of using the Underground to move around the map and be closer to a mission objective.

    Once on mission players can hack security systems by completing puzzles or using a Spider Drone to navigate air vents to hack cameras and other systems. Hacking is such a vital part of the game that players will soon become very skilled at hacking security systems, copying digital access keys, computers, and so much more.

    One of my favorite things to do was to hack a large cargo drone and ride it to a destination. While it did move slower than other vehicle options; it did allow me to avoid many of the circular roads of London which added to the at times extended travel.

    Another bonus of using the drone was being able to pick up cargo from containers to construction explosives and use it as a bomber in various situations.

    Combat is a very big part of the game as while players can opt for stealth at times; combat is unavoidable on many of the missions. Your weapons are based on which Operative you select and they are a varied bunch. One had a pistol and a Taser while another had an Assault Rifle and a Grenade Launcher. The diversity of weapons are as varied as the operatives as players can recruit new members by assisting and performing various side missions.

    This leads to one of the more interesting aspects of the game as players can opt for a permanent death or can have their fallen operatives become unavailable for an amount of time as they sit in jail or the hospital.

    This allows players to recruit medics and Barristers to the team as having them will reduce the amount of time that a player is unavailable for use. The game is broken down into chapters and each of them allows players to complete the main story missions but still has numerous side missions and recruiting options available.

    Players can also earn money by delivering packages and other activities which can be used to purchase new clothing to enhance their look and mix things up as they play. The operatives are a great mix of genders and ethnic diversity which allows players to really experience character variety which is not often seen in games.

    While the game had some glitches at launch a recent patch for the PC greatly improved the performance of the game and made it a highly immersive and enjoyable gaming experience.

    The city is so vast and as players who know Assassin’s Creed, The Division, and Ghost Recon will know that Ubisoft are masters are creating very detailed and sprawling cities. It was great fun to go by various London landmarks in the course of my missions and floating over Parliament on a drone was a great gaming moment.

    The game also offers a nice mix of enemies as while there are many soldiers to contend with; being able to dispatch them with weapons or hand to hand is always fun as is having to avoid a huge contingent of drones and security forces who are in intense pursuit.

    The game had some sound issues as I mentioned at the launch but they were resolved with a new patch and the various voices and sounds of the city combine to make a very immersive gaming environment.

    The graphics of the game are very solid although some of the character facial animations seem a bit dated at times but in no way detract from the game.

    In the end Watch Dogs: Legion is a winning new entry in the series and I look forward to the online option of the game which is due in December.

    - London looks incredibly realistic, to the point that it sometimes trips you out because your brain is convinced that it's witnessing real-life footage. The environmental graphics are gorgeous - but make sure to play with the highest graphics settings and ray-tracing on, or the experience won't be the same.
    - The general atmosphere of the world is spectacular, and the general London feel is captured perfectly. If you have ever lived in London, the game will unconditionally make you feel nostalgic. Everything - down to small details like advertisement style - has been thought out to make you feel like you are living in the same city that, 15 years ago, was the London that we read in the news about today.
    - The recruitment mechanic is fantastic and works just like advertised. Every NPC in the game (apart from a dozen story-specific characters) is recruitable, and actually feels like a distinct individual with their own set of strengths and weaknesses, personality, and a complex life behind them. Every NPC has a detailed biography and everyday schedule, and which NPC you recruit has noticeable effects on the gameplay: the same mission can be an exercise in stealth, a full-blown firefight, a sniper-like quest, or even a drone war depending on which character you decide to complete it with. This, in conjunction with the game's general sandbox mechanic which makes the open world malleable and dynamic, provides numerous opportunities for you to express your creativity and play the game like you want to play it.
    - Some of the chapters (notably the Skye Larsen and Dedsec chapters) were captivating and featured genuinely thrilling storytelling.
    Negatives:
    - The character models, as well as their movement, animations, facial expressions, and lip-syncing are seriously outdated. It can be pretty weird seeing these comically poor characters interact with such an advanced and almost photorealistic environment.
    - The voice acting is some of the worst that I have ever seen. For some characters, I feel like a random person on the street would've done a better job. Besides, the accents of the characters match neither the characters' personalities nor, even more noticeably, the general London population. For some reason, Ubisoft seem that London is inhabited almost exclusively by native Patwah or Polish speakers, which is obviously wildly inaccurate; on the other hand, the massively popular MLE dialect is barely featured at all. As a consequence of all of these factors, immersion - and with it the otherwise wonderfully executed illusion of being in futuristic London - takes a massive hit.
    - The AI is bad. Albion staff won't shoot at you even after you have literally almost killed them; they won't spot you even if you are in their plain sight; and the less said about vehicle AI - which would be underwhelming even in year 2000 - the better.
    - Melee combat is very primitive, although most other combat mechanics are pretty good.
    - Other than a few thrilling moments, the general storyline is basic, and almost all missions follow the exact same format: break into building - kill a few guards - retrieve artefact - possibly survive ambush - escape to safety. The game starts to feel repetitive after a few such missions - especially given that completing a mission is a prerequisite for every new recruitment, which is honestly a bit of a nuisance.
    - I can't help but feel that much, much more could have been made of the amazing open world that Ubisoft has built and the recruitment system available at Ubisoft's disposal. The characters could be grouped into different classes, with more powerful classes having more demanding recruitment criteria; the missions could be designed to encourage us to interact with the game-world more - for example, some missions could require us to recruit a particular type of character, say a cryptocurrency analyst, so we would be encouraged to recognise that cryptocurrency analysts usually work in the types of skyscraper found in the City, and go look for them there; hell, they could even go crazy and establish a relationship system, whereby relationship points would be gained by engaging in the appropriate activities with them (e.g. taking them to some cafe in the city or engaging in a brawl) based on their profile. Unfortunately, none of that has been done, and the best recruitment strategy as of right now is simply to find the character that you want to recruit in a place you'd expect them to be and recruit them. Only a few types of character are actually worthy of being recruited, with the rest being completely useless, and the recruitment itself is monotone and repetitive. Additionally, not much has been made of the highly interactive open world, and there is a lot of untapped potential.

    All in all, Watch Dogs Legion is definitely worth trying out, and it's a fun and immersive experience. However, it's certainly got its flaws, and it could have easily been just so much better.    … Expand

Interactions with them in one area will have consequences with their spouses and family in another. Also, the world looks incredible! It's super realistic.

    Now, let describe this open world London and stuff i like about it and stuff i don't like at all.
    This game misses main character, i'm sorry to say that, but it does. I can't wait to see if anything improves when they release season pass with Aiden, but it must. I would absolutely love to free roam with Aiden in that city. I guess what i want is actual character focused story. Right now it almost feels like it's work in progress and they should have released Aiden day 1 as post-story content. Like if you finish main story, then you can play with Aiden basically, well they didn't do that and i can live with that, i just hope season pass delivers, i really do. And why am i so optimistic? Because at the same time, there's so much there. This city really looks beautiful, for example you can go on cargo drone and fly on top of almost any building (that isn't too high) and chill around there. Scenery is BEAUTIFUL. You can free roam around on these rooftops, explore them etc. But then i have some criticism against open world design choices, for example i was free roaming and i found this old train in middle of nowhere, Would have been so cool to go inside it and explore it, but you can't because it has no doors. It's not the end of the world, but little things like that could have been so much deeper. You can drive inside trams in WD1 and you can't even go inside old train? Just saying. But overall it's not trash, it's just not. It' might not be anyone's cup of tea and that's completely fine, giving it just zero is pathetic at best. I'll just be honest, driving sucks with mouse and keyboard, it actually felt better in WD1 and they need to fix this, i'm serious. Overall it has tons of potential, underground areas is nice idea as well. There's so much there and there's stuff that i can forgive, like i don't NEED to go inside old trains, it would be just cool, that's all i'm saying. Overall again, it's not trash, it's just not. It just need improvement and for the love of god it needs that season pass more than ever.    … Expand

He doesn't care that many people were waiting for this game or that people know the difference between GTA series and Watch_Dogs series. All "penguinz0" cares about is whining about Ubisoft as much as he can. It's sad that he is that way and it's sad that people like him have that much power to destroy great games, but that's the reality we live.

    Watch_Dogs: Legion is solid by the way.    … Expand

    This isn't GTA the story is much deeper, its based in a v for vendetta style dystopian future London, the range of characters is good, the irish and northern irish accents are brilliant except brogue north dublin (I dressed those guys as grannies as north dubliners exude toxic fake masculinity). The drones are superb fun. I'm having the best time.

    Итак, моё мнение! Я прошёл Watch Dogs: Legion на 100 процентов, кроме сбора всякого хлама. Зачистил все районы и тд и могу сказать что игра меня удивила в хорошем плане, не на что не надеялся, но понравилась она мне даже больше 2й части. К плюсам:
    Отличная графика, не сказать что революция, но ооочень приятная картинка, особенно ночью.
    Геймплей, мне понравилось, что теперь хакинг больше не ограничивают ботнет ресурсами, что делает сами взломы довольно веселыми, особенно если дело касается транспорта, жаль только, что убрали разведение мостов, а то хотелось бы посмотреть на то, как с Тауэрского моста падают десятки машин.
    Интересные и веселые миссии, игру прошел вместе с доп миссиями и они не разочаровали. Миссии районов только через чур короткие, но вот например миссия, где мы заходим в дом к Скай Ларсен или миссия района, где мы попадаем внутрь Биг-Бэна очень удивили.
    Система агентов, она очень крутая. Можно гулять по городу и случайно завербовать мужа одной из агентов, это же реально круто!
    Перейдём к нейтральной стороне:
    Сюжет, он очень пресный, сделан для галочки, но с другой стороны ждать сюжет от Watch Dogs это глупо. Мне лично очень сильно понравилась арка со Скай Ларсен и в частности персонаж Бэгли, есть что то в нём такое, что притягивает.
    Отрицательная сторона:
    Физика, физика здесь просто отвратная, машины не рулятся никак, они как будто специально настроены очень чувствительно, физика стрельбы так же не обрадовала, но и не разочаровала, отдача есть, хоть и сделана очень деревянно, но вес оружия вообще не ощущаешь.
    Итак, подведем итог, я обожаю эту игру, эти 30 часов что я наиграл я получал удовольствие, меня эта игра реально смогла развлечь и не наскучила даже после прохождения доп. миссий. Я ставлю этой игре 5 баллов, хоть и понятно что она не идеальна, но я не совсем понимаю отзывы критиков, по моему игра реально достойна внимания!    … Expand

The diversity comes down to clothing only and 1-2 minor "skills" that might be unique to some NPCs, pretty much meaning every NPC is a clone of another, just a different skin tone rotating between 3 different voices. Wide as the ocean, but deep as a puddle. Hopefully they will keep this formula but upgrade it for future titles. If you are gonna allow every NPC to be playable, you need more voices, more body builds (thin, muscular, fat etc), more hair, more perks and so on.

Flying on drones makes it even better, because you can go on top of almost any building and just chill around there and look at this incredible scenery. Only negative would be lack of central main character, but this will likely be fixed by DLC where Aiden (mainWhat a great game!

    Have to say it's weaker than watch dogs 1 (best in the series) but even then it's not worst game ever. I have high hopes for Aiden's dlc, hopefully Ubisoft delivers.
    actual score 6/10
    but thanks to haters i have to give it 10/10

    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]

    This is the worst kind of sandbox, with bland, repetitious gameplay, and barely existing narrative.

    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]
