    While it could use performance boost, it's pretty solid Ubisoft game. Specially after disasters that came out last year (ghost recon breakpoint). It's not must buy, unless you are hardcore watch dogs fan tho. Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be miles better without a question.

    As a fan of WD1 and WD2, this game is straight garbage... Boring, bad optimization, few cars/vehicles, un-logical events (i recruited Albion soldier, approached story mission character, he was scared cause he tought it was Albion, but when he saw my character (Albion soldier in his attire) he was glad it wasnt Albion...)

    This could easily be called Bland Dogs: Legion in my mind, because it's as interesting as eating a boiled potato. Is it a bad game? No. Is it a good game? No. Is it fine for passing some time? Sure, meh, whatever.
    The gimmick of "uuh you can recruit anyone" is interesting, on paper. In-game, it stays interesting for 30 minutes.

    The gimmick of "uuh you can recruit anyone" is interesting, on paper. In-game, it stays interesting for 30 minutes. While cool that you can recruit anyone, it means that NO-ONE's interesting. You have no connection to the characters, so it's incredibly hard to make a compelling story when there's no stakes.
    In addition, the voice-action is the most atrocious I've ever seen. I spent an hour running around talking to people who looked SOMEWHAT okay, just to find ONE woman who had a voice I could stomach listening to. I played the whole game with this chick, completely ignoring all the special trait characters you get, because they sounded horrible.
    This is a "play and forget" title if you desperately need to pass some time.    … Expand

    Ubisoft seems to be back on tack again, it's no masterpiece, but it's 100% step in right direction compared to their 2019 games, 2019 was just awful for Ubi. Legion is just fine, but Assassin's Creed Valhalla seems to be actually epic. Super hyped for that.

    Compared to many other 2020 game that will be over in 2 hours, WD Legion actually has content. If you like that content, that's up to you obviously, but at least here's tons of stuff to do. Character recruitment is true standout, but i have to say WD1 had better story. I'm still hopeful for dlc's tho, because they bring back Aiden. Could use performance patches.

    Here's the deal, it's not revolutionary or anything, but it's not that bad either. It's just mediocre i guess. And not every game needs to be best game ever. At least it doesn't have insane bugs like fallout 76 and actually has beautiful graphics.

    Only the London authenticity looks great, rest of all is horrible and boring. This game is just copy-paste from other Ubisoft products. IMO, Ubisoft have to change the engine what they use for moment because it is morally outdated. And yes, Ubisoft became an impotent in new ideas. I think, Valhalla will be trashy too

    Unlike with death stranding, anthem, fallout 76, re3remake, marvel's avengers, this game doesn't make you feel like you wasted your money. At least that's how i feel. Story could have been so much better, but everything else? You can create your own fun by recruiting any npc you want, mess around in the game world, fly drones, hack cars. It's obviously nothing revolutionary, but it's still good.

    The enviroment is stunning. Futuristic european city mixing the old and brand new architecture looks breathtaking and I just love roaming these streets. But that's where Ubisoft excellance ends. Story is alright, but could use more drive. Game lets you decide some moral decisions yet they don't feel like it. Idea of recycling is good, but not in games. Visiting the same location for a fifth time is just no go.
    As for the play as anyone you wish, interesting concept, but not greatly excecuted and not really suitable for this. You can recruit people via one of 7 generic quests, which makes you drive all across London back and forth. You will use the metro system for this a lot, but you have to discover all those station first (like the devs never saw a map in metro). It doesn't feel like you can play anyone. You can play as someone acting like one of few written characters and sometimes it just feels weird. I also haven't seen a difference in recruiting with liberated borough, quests are the same. This system doesn't allow you to build anything towards the character, because you can just replace him like a pawn in a strategy game. This means cutscenes are more generic and less personal, previous titles have them done better. I'd say this was not so successful side step, but interesting experiment nontheless.
    Don't buy it for the full price, buy a Uplay+ for a month, it's enough time to play it once since you'll likely won't replay it again in the future.    … Expand

    While it's far from perfect, Ubisoft seems to be at least somewhat back on track. Last year was just awful for Ubi games, but this on is actually pretty fun. Still it could use tons of improvement, but dlc's are promising. Hopefully Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be great.

    Some environments are really beautifully created, specially churches and buildings like that.
    Ray tracing adds tons of depth to it. Story is huge letdown, but i honestly never bought it for the story anyway. I bought it mostly for open world fun and dlc's Aiden's story. Main story never interested me really. Even tho it's really fun that you can recruit literally any npc.

    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.

    And the main problem with Ubisoft is that it doesn't learn from its mistakes. More and more cutting out the most normal mechanics    … Expand

    Unlike the games in the series, this one takes place in the near future. This creates some new perspectives in gameplay. Technologies that today still seem distant from our reality, are already quite common in the open world of the game.

    I didn't like the series going into that future. I would still prefer it to be set on current days. But the game has not become a futuristic sci-fi, it leads well despite the new technologies present.

    About the gameplay, some commands have been changed compared to WD2. But it is very similar and fun as always, especially hacking. London's graphics are beautiful but the NPCs (which are controllable) are well below quality.

    The story is cliché in the extreme. Since there is no protagonist, we have little empathy with the controllable characters. They are more fun to play than they are deep in history.

    The problems aren't as big as the game's (and Ubisoft's) haters make it look on social media, but they do exist. However, this does not detract from the fun of the game at all. Like the other two titles in the series, it is a very good game but does not take advantage of all the opportunities it has to establish itself as a major franchise.

    In my preference, it is behind the first 2, but maintained a good level to wait for a really great sequence of the series. Hopefully it has a lot of DLC.

    PS: i wrote the same review on PS4 version because I have both (PC and PS4 version).
    -------------------------------
    In Brazilian Portuguse:

    Como já virou tradição, Watch Dogs é atacado nas redes sociais em seu lançamento. Mas o jogo é muito bom e injustiçado, apesar dos problemas.

    Diferentemente dos jogos da série, esse se passa num futuro próximo. Isso cria algumas novas perspectivas na gameplay. Tecnologias que hoje ainda parecem distante da nossa realidade, já são bem comuns no mundo aberto do jogo.

    Particularmente, não gostei da série ter ido para esse futuro. Ainda preferiria que fosse nos dias atuais. Mas o jogo não se tornou um sci-fi futurista, está bem pé no chão apesar das novas tecnologias presentes.

    Em questão de jogabilidade, alguns comandos foram trocados em relação ao WD2. Mas está muito parecido e divertido como sempre, especialmente hackear. Os gráficos de Londres estão lindos mas os NPC (que são controláveis) estão bem abaixo na qualidade.

    A história é clichê ao extremo. Como não há protagonista, temos pouca empatia com os personagens controláveis. Eles são mais divertidos de se jogar do que profundos na história.

    Os problemas não são tão grandes como os haters do jogo (e da Ubisoft) fazem parecer nas redes sociais, mas eles existem. Porém, isso não tira a diversão do jogo de forma alguma. Assim como os outros dois títulos da série, é um jogo muito bom mas não aproveita todas as oportunidades que tem pra se firmar como grande franquia.

    Na minha preferência, fica atrás dos 2 primeiros, mas manteve um bom nível para esperar por uma sequência realmente grande da série. Tomara que tenha muitas DLC.    … Expand

There's always middle ground and should be. Same with movies, not every movie is "Inception", that doesn't mean every movie that is weaker than "Inception" is automatically 0. Makes no sense.

    Performance is fine for the most part. Few patches would certainly help. Story sucks for the most part.
    True fun comes from open world hacking / recruiting character stuff. very hopeful for dlc's to improve the game. also multiplayer is promising.

    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]
