    Pros:
    1. The recruitment system is really unique, and I loved it. Creating your own team, and having to use each team member for certain missions was a great addition. Even team members that you don't use have useful passive abilities that make the game fun. It's probably my favorite feature of the game. You don't have to recruit people to beat the game. You can actually beat it with one agent, but the real fun is finding the advantages and disadvantage of each member of your teams skill set, and trying to beat the mission the way you want to beat it. All the missions have different ways of completing them. It really gave me a feeling I was playing the Hitman franchise with tons of freedom.

    2. The world building is great. The city of London feels alive, and watching the NPC's interact with each other really makes the city feel real.

    3. Graphics are really good. Especially at nighttime on my 2080ti and RTX turned on. It's really impressive. Probably the first game with RTX that impressed me. I love the sci-fi feeling to the city. It's a great placeholder until Cyberpunk finally comes out.

    4. Story is actually interesting, and I did enjoy it.

    Cons:
    1. Even though I did enjoy the missions, I did wish they added more variety to the task being performed. I get the game is about hackers, but I did want a little more diversity, but even with this con the missions were still fun, and the progression of unlocking new team members kept me hooked.

    I'm not a big fan of the Watch Dogs 1 and 2. I always thought the concept was cool, but the execution was meh. Could not keep my attention for more than 3-5 hours.

    Legion is really impressive, and a great direction for the franchise. I don't want to write a long review because I'm not a journalist, but here is my pro's and Cons.

    Watch Dogs: Legion delivers on its' main promise. All the NPC's on the streets are playable and varied in their own ways. Some may be faster at hacking (downloading data) while having their own cons such as slower speed or inferior mobility.

    The gameplay is smooth and well realized for the most part. You can smoothly and easily switch between sources of video in the game, everything
    Watch Dogs: Legion delivers on its' main promise. All the NPC's on the streets are playable and varied in their own ways. Some may be faster at hacking (downloading data) while having their own cons such as slower speed or inferior mobility.

    The gameplay is smooth and well realized for the most part. You can smoothly and easily switch between sources of video in the game, everything from you to cameras to your drone.

    The story is intriguing enough to keep you playing but as you'd expect, the lack of a protagonist makes it a little disjointed at times. The voice acting is what you'd expect from procedurally generated AI, but honestly not as bad as some make it seem.

    The world is truly great, it is one of the most detailed worlds I've ever played in and it is quite interesting as well. Same goes for the graphics as well for the game.

    You might see people complaining on the performance of the game. While it is true that at times the frames drop quite a lot you also have to consider your graphics settings. Running this game on a RTX 2070 Super gets you about 50+ fps on 1080p very high settings with raytracing enabled and considering how it looks, the game is actually quite well optimized in the end of the day.

    This is a good fun game that will get you plenty of enjoyment in the long run and as such I'll give the game a score of 8.7/10, rounding it off to 9/10.

I also can play it for a long time without any sign of boredom or irritation and each character you recruit is different enough.

    After playing Watch Dogs Legion about 10 hours i can say that much: beautiful open world, tons of unique characters to recruit, story is fine, cool easter eggs. Performance is solid, if you have up-to date PC. Even tho story isn't greatest thing ever in this one, true winner is the open world that it has. I have high hopes for Aiden dlc.

    Solid modern open-world game to have fun with. Not every game needs to be extremely deep or have "Dune" level writing. Jesus. It's perfectly fine game. Graphics are nice, story is fine, by any means it doesn't deserve user score 4.0. That's just absurd. I have played it about 8-9 hours and had 1 crash. I personally haven't experienced any bugs serious bugs yet. I would very much recommend it.

    Solid open-world. Reminds me Watch Dogs 1. Fact that you can play as pretty much any character in the world is very unique. I personally feel one main character or even team of 6 would have been better, but i still like the game. I'm mostly excited for Aiden (main character of first game) dlc.

    HONEST REVIEW AFTER 5 HOURS OF PLAYING
    This game is playable and even fun, but there are many problems (not technical). How they managed to make city more boring than in first game is just mindlbowing. I just can't understand. This (only small streets and buildings) approach is outdated and doesn't work anymore. It's okay, but this is really, really last time they can do it like that.

This (only small streets and buildings) approach is outdated and doesn't work anymore. It's okay, but this is really, really last time they can do it like that. Next game needs to be different. They need to really re-think their approach about map design. You can't just have endless streets and buildings on your WHOLE MAP. This is the place where they really should learn from GTA 5, you can't make open world game like this anymore. Rockstar did it in 2008 with GTA 4 and even then they had tons of buildings to go inside. Ironically Ubisoft did it better in 2014 with Watch Dogs 1. Watch Dogs 1 map design was so much better, you had more nature etc. Storys is "whatever", honestly kinda boring. I'm still hopeful that they can do something cool with Aiden dlc. But yea, you can't have "just city" in 2020 anymore, you need to have outside areas, nature, mountains, all that jazz. For the love of god i hope Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be good.

    Performance is perfectly fine (even tho could use some patches), but still, unlike some companies, they released it day 1 on pc, and it actually runs fairly well if you have up-to-date PC. Some idiots put everything on max and max ray tracing and then complain why it doesn't run 100fps. My god.

    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.

    Not every video game needs to be miracle okay? It has way more interesting open world than for example Mafia 1 Remake (no hate btw, just saying). This user score makes no sense.

    2019 was pretty rough year for ubisoft, but seems like they are back on track again. This year might be even bigger for them than 2018, specially with AC Valhalla coming out very soon.

    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.
    Story is whatever, but hacking, free roaming is tons of fun.

    Personal ranking of watch dogs games : 1 , legion , 2.
    One is still my favorite. It had dark tone, it had very well made map (specially for 2014 game), it had trains you could ride inside, it had lighthouse you could visit, nature areaas.
    legion doesn't have basically any nature areas (almost), it's mostly city and that's it. It's also darker tone like first game, but with some humor

Sadly it has no trains to ride inside etc. But what it does has is recruit any npc you see on streets system. That's literally best part of legion. Another strenght of legion is graphics, specially with rtx on.

    watch dogs 2 was too colorful and childish. I don't like games that have zero seriousness.

    I guess console versions suck or something? or why they have so low scores?
    PC version run's perfectly fine 60-80fps with any rtx card. Of course there's literally no need
    to max out everything (specially rtx ultra is just big no).

    Most people can't max out RDR 2, the why would you max out this game? Make no sense. It's literally first ever (true hd) open world with ray tracing, of course you need good pc, if you want higher settings. Missions are generally boring, but open world makes up for it imo.
    Overall world desgin was better in WD1, but it's okay for the most part. Maybe they add something with dlc's or free updates.

    Ubisoft should support PC community now more than ever, because their biggest player base is clearly on PC not consoles. Not to even mention, best version out of all these is clearly PC version, even if it's just for higher fps, but graphically it's also superior version.
    Graphics options in this game are pretty good honestly, tons of stuff you can tweak. Now about game itself. It's okay

    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]
