    While Marvel's Avengers was truly disappointing, watch dogs legion is actually surprisingly fun open-world game.

    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.

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.
    Watch dogs 2 story didn't really hook me either. World was pretty empty.    … Expand

    This game is VERY CLEARLY not for everyone. STEALTH AND HACKING is main focus in this series. Of course you can fight with guns as well if you want, but it's not hardcore action like gta V. It never was. I personally like it and have high hopes for dlc's to come.

    Reflections are truly amazing, specially at night time. London looks absolutely stunning.
    There aren't many open world cities that are so beautifully re-created. So far, it's solid.

    If you have truble with RTX (low fps) then DLSS helps a lot. Run's fine with RTX 2070, unless you want 4k or some nonsense like that.

    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.

They shouldn't have made it more of an open world as the franchise already was. The play as anyone mechanic works horribly: all the characters are either ugly or have bad voice modulation. The specialist characters are useless when you realise drones and spiderbots can be spawned with any character you want and they all have the same hacking abilities, creating no major difference in what character you play as.

    The mission's are all the same: destroying something or downloading something. It's so repetitive and there's no interesting narrative to back it up; WD2 at least made me interesting in what I was doing. The thing is, the introduction mission was so good; I got shivers when everything was exploding and the guy was saying "no, no, no" but then every mission after has no emotion at all.

    I think they made the janitor code the AI or something as whenever I got into a chase, they gave up after 5 seconds leaving me with no tension whatsoever. I wanted the permadeath and hard difficulty to increase my enjoyment but it made no difference because if I got overwhelmed, I could just run on foot or in a car and get away with no consequence or chance of getting caught. This made me so mad after watching the tipping point trailer

    I am a fan, I enjoyed both WD and WD 2 and felt like a badass while playing both. I pre-ordered the game and waited until midnight to play it. The setting looks amazing but it's empty when you peel the skin off (the world doesn't even change when you liberate a borough) and without a proper narrative and repetitive missions, the game suffers to unplayability.

    Please watch gameplay and read both positive and negative reviews that are over 6 sentences to get the information on if you will like the game or not! I should've done the same but I wanted a spoiler-free experience, sucks for me. Thanks for reading.    … Expand

    Graphics: 9/10
    Controls: 9/10
    PC Optimization: 2/10

    Watch Dogs Legion *would* be a fun romp through a beautifully-crafted open world - but it is slightly hindered by doughy and unrealistic character faces, the occasional unforgivably bad voice actor in an otherwise competent cast.

    Moreover, it's not just hindered but beaten bloody and kneecapped by its ATROCIOUS, nearly unplayably low framerates.

    I have 16 gb of system ram, an m2 SSD, and a freaking RTX 3080 - yet at 4k, 1440p, and 1080p alike, average FPS while driving or running through the city (90% of actual game time) is in the 20s and sometimes 30s, spiking up to mid-40s and above only in indoor environments or in mission areas. Even at the bare minimum graphics settings with RTX off and DLSS at "ultra performance" and down to jag-o-rific 1080p (likely rendering at 720p!), my frames STILL only average in the 30s and 40s with laughably low-res, MMO-worthy soup textures. The game's benchmark is very pretty and still runs quite well for me at max settings (high 40s), but is horiffically misleading as to actual gameplay performance, since it takes place in a small, curated level rather than the game's large open world.

    For perspective; Control, RDR2, GTAV, and pretty much every other modern graphically-demanding game I've thrown at my system runs at a stable 60 FPS in 4k, with or without DLSS. I kid you not, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 runs better at maxed-out settings on my build than Watch Dogs Legion does.

    Chances are this game will run perfectly stable on the upcoming Xbox Series X and PS5, which it was *very* obviously designed for; but unless you have a brand-spanking-new PC build with a CPU that's less than a year old, this game runs unforgivably poorly. Unless a major upcoming patch is on the way to take a wrench to the game's poorly-optimized graphics code, I can't recommend spending a dime on the PC version of this game.    … Expand

    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.

    Reading these 0 score reviews is literally hillarious. It's so very clear that these are either double accounts or just losers who never actually play games and possibly just watch livestreams.

    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.
    But i mean who cares really, it will sell millions of copies no matter what. Ubisoft is popular enough. Just watching people livestreaming this game makes it very clear that most people enjoy it for what it is.

    The story and driving are both serviceable but nothing special. The gameplay is very easy even on the hard setting. You can use a cargo drone to get what you want most of the time. The rest of the time you can simply go in guns blazing because the enemies are really silly (even dumber than Skyrim enemy AI).

    All that said, I did get up to the 404 missions (and all boroughs defiant) before I called it quits on the game, so I think the average gamer may get a decent weekend out of it before the gameplay repetition and awful voice work get to be too grating.    … Expand

    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.

The permadeath feature adds more to the game than i expected, even trivial encounters like ramming a police car become life and death.

When you know you wont just end up with a fine or an injury, you may loose a rare character, you tend to play differently. The learning curve may be painful at times as nothing sucks more than doing several missions to play a character only to get him/her killed before you learn how to play them. If you stick with the game you will find another recruit later that is as good or at least a variation of the one you lost, but that is little consolation when you ram an exploding barrel on accident and die instantly (or worse, loose a character to a gameplay glitch).

    This game is a solid 8 and would be a 9 if it was released with more polish. I have noticed a few bugs... lost a little progress here and there, but it was to the types of things that you KNOW will get fixed in future patches. There is great variety in the citizens of the city, each being a potential recruit (even the bad guys). Each character I have spent any time doing missions with has sounded and looked very different although I suspect the thick accents make that easier for them.

    The tech tree and progression have been slimmed down, and some gadgets are so overpowered than you end up never using some of the others (I am looking at you, spiderbot!). Still, hacking cargo drones to ride like surfboards is fun. So is putting a turret on top of your car and driving around, and so are countless other combinations of mechanics.

    If you are a fan of earlier Watch Dogs games than this is a must-have. If you want a GTA clone with a few new mechanics, it is worth a buy. If you intend to play this game without permadeath (characters get sent to hospital for 'x' hours) then i would say there may not be enough new types of things to keep your attention. It would still be a good game, but it would be a generic GTA knockoff to be picked up on sale.    … Expand

    It's pretty cool. Recruit any character you want, dress them up as you want, have fun in the game world, hack cars. It's nothing revolutionary, but i wasn't expecting anything crazy from this game anyway. 100% doesn't deserve these 0-s.

    The transport graphics in the game looks terrifying in 2020 games! How to remove a lane on the road that spoils the atmosphere of the game - I have enough Navigator) There is nothing new but on the contrary worse than the 2nd part which is better than this that you created trash and not a game) The developers have no mind and you want a lot of money for this madness ) WD2 was much Better!

    Not a AAA game.

    "Recruit everyone" and use one character only. "Auto-pilot" but the game is paused when you are in menu. So enable auto-pilot to do not play this game because car physics is ... watch dog car physic. Story is really bad, Bagley's jokes are really bad and cringe :( In Watch Dogs 2, the humor was better French voices are really bad too. Better than Watch Dogs 1 but    Not a AAA game.

    The "PLAY AS ANYONE" mechanic works like Ubisoft promised. That you can play as any Citizen and that's out there!, problem is that i heard the same "Piss easy, i got this" voice line for so many times my ears went numb, may sound bad but honestly just switch the character if that pisses you off (if you don't want to, too bad).

    Haven't had basically any bugs personally. There's tons of fun to be had, but it's mostly related to recruiting characters and just messing around in the city and not that much for the story.

    Not perfect, not gta v, but still solid effort, they clearly tried something different.

    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]
