    This is the first pc game I've bought that I've not actually been able to play.

    Upon installing the game every time i try and lauch the game I receive a DLL error.

    Spent around 6 hours trying different fixes suggested by people on the internet with no luck, because of this I was forced to refund the game.

    Ubisoft should make sure a game works before releasing it.

    More of this and less of whatever watch dogs 2 was supposed to be. This one is already huge improvement, can't wait what they do with watch dogs 4. Please another European city. Anything but USA at this point. Usa has been done so many time in different games, there's other places too. Even Australia would be better choice than USA.

    It's fine enough watch_dogs game. I would only recommend it, if you actually really liked first game, because in dlc first game's main character come back as playable character. Until that happens, there's enough fun to be had with npc recruitment.

On this site, anyone can just make account and say "this or that game sucks" and give zero score. BUT when people ACTUALLY like something, then it must be fake reviews. Because apparently in 2020 you can't like anything. Just lol. No about the game, i absolutely love it. It's nothing incredible, gta v is miles better, but i wasn't expecting that either. I was expecting hacking game and i got it. London was already nice location in Assassin's Creed Syndicate and it works here as well.… Expand

    As for the game, this was the worst experience I've ever had. The story, gameplay, and everything else is a complete mess, also I faced several crashes in only 1.5 hours of gameplay. After all, when I tried to lower the settings (due to its terrible optimization) the game just restarted my computer and corrupted my saves!

    Finally something that isn't another first person shooter like cod or battlefield (no hate against cod, but it's just too much and battlefield can just go away).

    Beautiful open world that actually feels alive. RDR2 did unexpectedly well with npc's and so does this game, but it's little bit different this time. Now you can play as any npc you see in the world.That's epic.

    Idk why anyone would hate it, it's not earth-shattering, but it's nonetheless very cool open world hacking game. I mean i would understand someone giving it 6 or 7 for technical problems, but flat out zeros make no sense.

    Had little to no hope for Legion and what Ubisoft has been releasing Lately. Even only playing the first Watch Dogs, I can say that I was wildly surprised by how much I actually am enjoying Legion. It just has this better feel and tone set in London and the whole idea of playing as multiple operatives seems to have done away with most of the repetitive gameplay.

It just has this better feel and tone set in London and the whole idea of playing as multiple operatives seems to have done away with most of the repetitive gameplay. Legion feels a lot more like you are playing a Splinter Cell game, sneaking around, hacking drones and garroting people from behind. Even on my sub par PC, Legion looks stunning and can keep up with all the stuff going on in the world. Just ignore most of the usual Ubi junkiness with all the bugs and potato looking NPC's and you get a fairly decent game, probably the best in the series so far. It's by no means the shining star in Ubisoft's catalogue of titles but it has kept me invested and engaged so far for my playthrough.

    Bad performance on PC, the Story is utterly boring and the characters are cringy af.
    Don't let me play as everyone, I want to play as MY character. Would be better if they just let me customize one without those damn trades... Driving is as always extremely bad.

    I'm 17 hours in and this game is on of the worst optimized games on the PC platform. Have fun running the game, because even the most powerful GPU on the market right now the RTX 3090 can't maintain a stable performance, I'm using an RTX 2060 Super and I can't get over 60 on low settings at 1080p RTXOFF.

    The gameplay is dumbed down from Watch Dogs 2 and the whole "Operative" system brings nothing but frustration to the game, every character is supposed to have It's own "playstyle" but you can literally just walk into an enemy area, shoot everyone and leave with ease, the game offers no challenge what so ever. Furthermore every mission consists of going into an area, disabling the security system that's preventing you from opening that one door that has the data that you have to download, you will be doing this 99% of the time, every hostile zone has this type of playstyle, you will get nothing else.
    The game offers a "permadeath" mode, but don't even think about turning it on, the game will glitch out 9/10 times and your character will die from bullsh**t reasons. Oh you jumped on a platform that you're not supposed to but the game doesn't tell you? Well sorry but your operative is now dead.
    This game also crashes a lot, if you're unlucky like me and it happens during a mission, you character might die and can't come back, so I suggest you keep the permadeath mode on off.

    I can't believe they managed to make a worse game than Watch Dogs 2. The characters you recruit are boring with terrible animations and voice acting. Every mission feels the same. Play as anyone sounded like a cool idea on paper but feels hollow in execution.

    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]
