    Game is a solid 7-8.

    London's ambience and the setting overall are great.

    Gameply is a lot of fun, despite the game is even more casualized (less serious) than the first one (which remains the best for me). It's not narrative, but some quests are really well done and tell interesing stories.
    Highly recommended to play with a perma-death on hard!    … Expand

    The city and its citizens are far more detailed in Legion compared to previous Watch dog games.
    I'm about 13 hours in and I couldn't be happier with whats been made here .
    Its mostly pure infiltration stealthy missions which i am absolutely fine with ! Patch has fixed 90% of niggles ... buy it

    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

    You can use all gadgets with all recruits, and while it's nice that you have the freedom to do so should you wish, I'd suggest bringing to the table some roleplay - only use certain gadgets with recruits that make the most sense...roleplay each character according to their own backstory, moral outlook and initial skillset, and the game becomes even more interesting.    … Expand

    Positives:
    - 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.

    - 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

    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

There's new announcements to come absolutely every summer, every year. They have always ambitious ideas, top tier graphics, solid worlds. Of course they aren't making RDR2 level stuff, it would be impossible in so short time period, but it actually surprises me how close they have got with recent Assassin's Creeds, specially considering that RDR2 is actually pretty empty world, it's still amazing game of course. But still. What i'm trying to say is that Ubisoft is actually very important company for gaming world.

    idk it's weird. I feel they really messed up with creating this map. London is nice, sure, but open-world games need more in 2020. Ironically they absolutely get it with Assassin's Creed, so why they messed made Watch Dogs map so small makes no sense. All in all, it's actually fun game to play. Better than many others that released in 2020. Hopefully watch dogs 4 has bigger map.

    Positives - it's very similar to previous games, hacking is still fun, graphics, character recruitment.
    Negatives. meh story, map isn't very interesting.
    Overall it's okay. Now everything depends on what bonus content / dlc's they will add.
    So far i'm optimistic, because this game has tons of unique mechanics that any other game doesn't.
    It stands out without a question.

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]
