    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.

    Beautiful open world game to have fun with. Haven't had any major bugs or problems personally (7 hours in). Not every game needs to be earth-shattering to be good.

    Watch Dogs Legion is better than what i expected, reminds me watch dogs 1.

    People complaining about performance while putting every setting on ultra+ ray tracing with their 5 years old computer are jokes. Watch Dogs Legion is solid sequel to the first game. I never liked second game, it was too childish.

    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 This (only small streets and buildings) approach is outdated and doesn't work anymore.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This (only small streets and buildings) approach is outdated and doesn't work anymore.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.    … Expand

    I only bought it because i'm hardcore fan, but i would say wait for sale/until dlc-s are out. It's clearly not for everyone. Still it doesn't deserve that low user score. I would say Assassin's Creed Valhalla or Black Ops would be better games to buy.

    PC version needs some serious patches that makes fps better. Consoles versions will obviously run better on Xbox Series X or PS5, but PS4 Pro runs it fine as well. Overall very unique concept, recruit any npc, make army of them, free London. London looks beautiful btw.

    If you didn't like watch dogs 1, you wont like legion, if you liked watch dogs 1 you might like legion. Legion will also have first game's main character, so there's that connection too.

    Is it must buy? NO, is it one of the worst game of 2020? NO, in fact, far from it. What you saw in trailer is exactly what you're going to get. At least they didn't lie to their fans like Naughty Dog did with last of us 2. And to make it clear, watch dogs legion is about million times more enjoyable than last of us 2.

    Why so low user score? This game is at least 7. How can 4 hours long game (re3remake) have bigger score doesn't even make sense. Here you have absolute freedom to do whatever you want in open world London. Not to even mention, this is fist time ever fully released HD London is in video game. GTA London doesn't count lol. I'm actually really enjoying it.

    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]

    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]
