    The world is so incredible unbelievable, that I find it hard to engage with the story at all. Countless Bugs, unpolished immersion breaker like bad facial animations, voice acting, lipsync, driving, gunplay, enemy AI etc. it feels like an alpha version that could be at least a fun edgy open world sandbox. But it is not in its current state.

    Really fun to play for this series. the play as anyone concept is really good but the story quite a bit drop from their predecessor.

    Garbage game.
    Certianly not worth buying if you are on the fence.
    Not even worth 75 characters.

And I was super disappointed.

    So let’s start with the good - the world is amazing!!! Dystopian London never looked so good!!! Running around Buckingham Palace was a lot of fun. My performance has been stable at High setting Intel 9700k with GTX2080, no crashes. I do occasionally get some weird audio clipping when I turn, but nothing terrible.

    And then there are the bad - I was really disappointed coming off your of WD2, I felt like I kept waiting for the story to start and it never did. Voice acting was flat especially compared to WD2. The recruitment feature seems really useless, I can’t really see why I would want one char over another, unless I just want a gun or a car, but I can’t see that choosing one character over another affects gameplay. With the permadeath option you want to feel some connection to these characters when they die (think SoD2), but instead it just feels like a nuisance. The lack of character progression and stripped down tech tree, and lack of things to hack seems like a miss. Honestly this feels just predictable and not as good at its predecessors

    In short I am not sure where Ubisoft’s head was at with this game, it had so much potential, and was just a miss...    … Expand

    what should I write about it. The story is quite boring, typical we are the good guys the opponents are the bad guys. driving ohhh driving sooo and imprecise spongy. The recruiting missions are incredibly long and on the whole the same go there, hack, go back, hack, and additionally the game crashed twice. don't buy it unless you have Ubisoft +.

    An insult to the intelligence of the gaming community in every gameplay aspect. Technically awful, lots of bugs, softlocks making it impossible to liberate a district.

The gunplay is Fortunately far better in this one than in the previous installments. And I will admit, A military state London is far more appealing to look at than I thought.

London itself is done quite beautifully though the character models leave much to be desired. Think mannequins in a masterpiece of art, and keep that thought it will be important later. The gameplay is actually fun and very open ended. It’s offers aloooot of replayability and choice in missions, making the mission zones more puzzles to be figured out over running and gunning, though that can be done as well. The recruit anyone feature is really interesting because you can even recruit police to your cause. The only real downside to the game is the story is because since there’s no real MAIN character the games story seems really disjointed at times remember these are all mannequins in different outfits and abilities. But like I said above, the gameplay is great and makes up for the stories shortcomings. . Is it game of the year? Far from it but it’s a good entry to the series as a whole and I’d love to see the “play as anyone” feature expanded on as long as there was some character or element tying everything and grounding it all together properly.… Expand

There are also RPG mechanics now which suck, civilians don't call the police anymore like previous Watch_Dogs games. Voice acting is horrendous and the game is extremely buggy. Game is also HORRENDOUSLY optimised and they removed shop interiors. This entire game is just a massive downgrade from Watch_Dogs 2 really and I advice you to stay away at the moment.

    Below Average at Best.

    Gameplay Loop: Probably the most enjoyable aspect of Legion with a multitude of ways to approach certain missions and gives you a decent variety. ( Most Definitely not all... a good amount are just limited to picking between Stealth / Guns Blazing ) World Building: A decent amount of building up the background of the world in Legion is decently done, with a    Below Average at Best.

    Gameplay Loop: Probably the most enjoyable aspect of Legion with a multitude of ways to approach certain missions and gives you a decent variety. ( Most Definitely not all... a good amount are just limited to picking between Stealth / Guns Blazing )

    World Building: A decent amount of building up the background of the world in Legion is decently done, with a standard attention to world design and art to make it somewhat believable.

    Story: Absolute Rubbish, If you play it, play it for the Gameplay because if you're looking for a okay, decent or good story.. it's definitely not in this game

    Protagonist / Character development - Non existent and not believable in any shape of form. At some point in the game you can recruit anyone in the world for your "Dedsec" cause which makes no sense what so ever. "Play as anyone" sounds great on paper but it greatly sacrifices character development and meaningful story.

    Visuals: With RTX and HDR, it's a pretty damn good looking game outside of very dated character models in some ways. The Graffiti Art and Murals found around the city of london are nicely done, but it's a very flat experience with no depth to the world design. There are definitely areas and buildings that stand out that are highly enjoyable to go down or look at. Texture Quality is acceptable with 4K Texture Pack installed. Some animations are high quality while others remain somewhat janky and seem disconnected.

    Performance: Running it at 4K RTX on a heavily OC'd 3090FE / 9700K @ 5.0ghz I was clocking 66 fps Average on the Benchmark with Ultra except shadows on high, and DLSS Quality / RTX Medium.
    The performance is really all over the place, Walking around in the outside parts of the city I'd average between 55-70fps depending on the density and weather. Using a Vehicle I would see framerates as low as 39. It's a poorly optimized title.

    Voice Acting: Mediocre at best, the voice AI doesn't match a lot of dialogue which looks very janky. A lot of clingy dialogue in the game that tries to appeal to youth today but misses the mark greatly and feels just straight up out of touch.

    Facial Animations: Really Janky, looks as if some characters are given puppet mouths for their dialogue. Definitely some of the worst I've seen in awhile.

    Audio: Running on a ZMF Verite / ZMF Pendant Tube Amp/ Denafrips PONTUS DAC and analyzing the quality of audio seperation ques, dynamic range, music and soundscapes of London - the over all quality is somewhat average and shouldn't expect anything spectacular.
    -Only your vehicle transmits radio music into the game world when exiting
    - Radio music selection is subjectively alright but mediocre in over all quality, sounds like they ripped straight up 128kbps files and threw them in as radio stations
    - Dynamic Range isn't that great as far as being accurate, voices are far too loud, vehicles sound way too soft with barely any texture, Guns lack "oomph" and use standard sound effects, Crashing into vehicles is the same generic sound file over and over again, NPC voice lines, while sometime hilarious, there's quite a small amount of lines and are heavily repeated through out my experience.
    -Imaging is fairly decent, it's easy to pick apart the placement of audio ques in the game world.
    -Fairly low amount of actual ambient sounds in the game, which is a bit immersion breaking
    -Voice Over quality is quite subpar from the norm thanks to the weird, digital sounding pitch shifts they used for voices.

    World Depth - It's very flat, don't expect a super dense interesting world, it's very "open world gamey" feeling in its presentation, although it does a decent job at pervading the world building aspect of the current political climate its set in

    NPC AI - Far below average for the most part, It will quickly be noticed that you can get away with quite a lot even though its suppose to be set in a very dystopian setting. It's a very immersion breaking aspect of the game and doesn't make it believable regardless of its setting.

    Aesthetics: Good in some ways, such as the strong Punk Rock / Metal culture vibes in some of the areas but quite cringy and out of touch in others. It honestly feels like they purposely ripped off a small chunk of what CDPR is looking to accomplish with Cyberpunk 2077 but in a tasteless, soulless way.

    Microtransactions: Despicable Predatory MTX model that shouldn't be included in single player titles that they most likely are looking to implement even more heavy into the multiplayer component once its released. There are progress boosters and Cosmetics.    … Expand

    - Recruitment missions are fun
    - City is alive, a lot of stuff is happening on streets
    - A lot gadgets to choose from, a lot of cloths for operatives (visual customization)
    - AI protagonist is fun

    Negatives:
    - Framerate... I played WD2 week ago and it ran way better on similarly-looking settings, optimalization is just BAD in WDL
    - You can get anyone, but you cannot really upgrade anyone other than to give them one of few unlockable weapons and gadgets.. I hoped there will be some leveling system or way more stuff to give operatives, also having just selectable gadget at time is just not enough variety
    - LOADING SCREENS! They are everywhere, almost every interior has loading screens, it's just lame in 2020, when WD2 back then had a lot of interiors...
    - Almost no interiors other than mission one...
    - Operatives have bonuses but mostly you are able to complete mission or place with whatever operative
    - Operatives (characters) really lack depth, no levels
    - Lack of real side missions

    I wanted to really like this game, I was looking forward to it. But it really lacks depth, not thanks to the system but because noone cared about possibilities of this system - like being able to level up operatives and give them some perks, more weapons, more passive/active abilities according to their specialities. This would be really interesting to have fewer operatives but levelable in certain ways. So, "play as anyone" is not really bad, but the lack of depth in it is bad. I kinda lack being able to change their hairstyle and stuff as well, it's just a shame.

    Storywise I kinda like it, it could be better though. I was happy for AI member of team, it reminded me bit of Wrench that I liked from WD2.

    Give it a try when it will be for 15-20€ or get it through Uplay+, don't pay full price for it now, it is definetly not worth it.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    Legion doesn't do much to improve on the foundation made by WD2. Parkour system is exactly the same although somehow not as cool.

Parkour system is exactly the same although somehow not as cool. Gunplay too also saw no changes, infact there's less variety in weapon selection because of the "play as anyone" gimmick which leads to other problems i will touch on later. The story suffers from the USP of the game since there are only roughly 10 unique voices in the game and the voice acting isn't very good either. Lines are copy and pasted and repeated throughout missions. The bad voice acting detaches you even more from the cast of recruits, especially when the voice doesnt match the face and Why is half the population of London from Ireland?

    With hacking there is some more features since the story has a big focus on his autonomous drones, but still this aspect is mostly untouched. On a less important note the character face models are definitely not "Next gen" they are on par with Assassins Creed Unity faces and that game is 6 years old. This is obviously due to the fact that they did not go for a single main protagonist so they had to make sacrafices in that department in order to make every NPC face somewhat "good". However aside from the face models the game is gorgeous especially at night time with ray tracing on.

    Speaking of performance the game runs like **** I have a Ryzen 7 2700x, RTX 2070 and 16GB RAM, running the game at 1080p medium-high settings with ray tracing on and i only average 35 FPS.

    Gameplay. Although not much has changed since WD2 the gameplay is still fun and addicting, the open world feels very much alive and the aesthetic of near futre London does look amazing. However the game lacks a variety of enemy types, Albion solders, police, and gangsters all behave the same, you have a shotgunner to rush you and machine gunners, drones aren't really a threat since hacking them is as easy as abc. There is a new combat system however, its not too deep and for some enemys your only option is to rinse repeat the SINGLE counter animation until there health bar depletes then finish them off. Gunkata takedowns are sexy though.
    On the brightside the variety in Operatives to play as will make you approach missions and outposts differently since they offer different special abilities. Alot of the more common NPCs are all just copy pasted with different character model and proffesion.
    Clothes customization sees an improvement with loads more ways to dress your character and the abundance of shops on every high street adds to the realism.
    Many times I've been walking the streets and random NPCs will just fight or pull a gun and try to rob one another, or when finding your first Spy outside the MI-6 building and overhearing their convesation on the phone with one of ther apprentices in the field. Multiple albion hostages detained on the streets, even the occasional "sorry" and "suck your mum" which as a brit myself can confirm is all we say to eachother. It all feels alive.

    Driving still sucks in Watch Dogs, do I need to say more?

    This is another sort of nitpick but since the start of the game its been very hard to find male "Skilled" operatives. I myself am a man so ofcourse I prefer to play as a man, and I was never really excited about playing as anyone, like who wants to play as a construction worker or beekeeper? So I wanted go find some hitmen and Spys to play as but oh no, Ubisoft is shoving female characters down my throat with force. The Spy, Hitman and Anarchist you get for defying their respective boroughs are all female, again this isnt really an issue but like i said I want to play as male characters and is a tad annoying

    Overall this game is very mixed. I do enjoy my time playing although not much has been changed gameplay wise, the world is immersive and gorgeous, but driving sucks and with the abundance of fast travel points why should i drive? The story is lack luster and voice acting is terrible. I'd say do what I did and buy Uplay+ for a month its only 13 quid if you wanna play the game DO NOT pay full price its not worth it and if you dont have good specs on your pc dont expect to tmrun high settings and or get above 60FPS.    … Expand

    Watch Dogs Legion gave me mixed feelings. It's not really a triquel. This is watch Dods 2.5. With one exception, there is have not protagonist.. The plot of the game seemed to me quite good, but no more.
    The graphics are better. And London looks great too.
    What about the main feature of agent recruitment, then it works. However, no one forces you to knock them out like Pokemon, you can    Watch Dogs Legion gave me mixed feelings.

    What about the main feature of agent recruitment, then it works. However, no one forces you to knock them out like Pokemon, you can follow the story. The necessary ones will be given as you progress.
    In the game I was upset by the AI. He's not too smart.
    Driving remains the same as Watch Dogs 2, but better.

    In general, Legion left a surprisingly pleasant impression. And again, this is a good game, but nothing more.

    My rating is 7/10    … Expand

    Worst perfomance 2020.
    Low FPS on gtx 1080ti (even on 1080p + medium settings).
    Game crashes every 20-40 minutes.

    Improves everything that should be improved from 2, good melee combated, cool gameplay and awesome character mechanics and perks, optimization for pc at this time is horrible and story seems fine

    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]
