    Just an horrible game! The developer did not take the game seriously himself. Just crappy game from a greedy company!

    Played around 20 hours of this dog **** of a game. The story sucks. The voice acting feels like they don't care. Numerous bugs and glitches through my 20 hours of playtime. I cannot believe people think this is a good game. Smh

    Instead of waiting at least a week for reviews I got this game since I got a new RTX 3080 card and wanted to see what the raycast effects looked like.

    Disappointed (when it came out last October) to find that the online play wouldn't be available for months. One of the great features of WD2.

    First odd thing I noticed is the character generation. You have to choose from one of several randomly generated choices. You skin color, sex, etc., and you can't reroll to get another random set.
    If you are not satisfied with the random choices you get, you go play through the intro mission again.
    Hello I'm random, are you random too?

    This is so strange and offsetting. Why do I want to play a game where I'm just some rando?
    In real life I can just go walk around a shopping mall and merge into the crowd if I want that.

    Then you can play as another rando operative, the pick more rando NPCs so you can play them.
    Who in the hell wants to play this?
    People want to play someone special, the hero, etc., they want to be a meaningful protagonist or antagonist.
    Why can't we just play Dalton (the interesting James Bond like guy in the intro)?

    This game is the sign of the times where some purple hair, weed smoking, androgynous, birkenstock wearing SJW designer(s) are let loose on Ubisoft whom must have fully embraced woke culture.

    Let's make a game with "unity", were we are all the same; man, woman, thing, short or tall, any melatonin (yet disproportionately dark) shade. Utopia is here! Weeee!

    Sure London looks pretty, but it's all soulless, lacks character, boring, and directionless.
    Better off playing WD2 again and hope they come to their senses and recover with a decent WD4.    … Expand

    Watch Dogs Legions is a disappointment, and honestly feels like a downgrade from Watch Dogs 2 in every way possible, driving feels sluggish and janky with no impact damage and significant recycled content over and over feels like them mission structure was just copy/pasted too many times.

    Graphically speaking, Ubi did a great job of rendering a fairly accurate London and I'm British and visited London many times, its attention to detail is well above par and I think that is where the problems start, I think they spent too much time on eye candy.

    Gameplay wise, it's still watch dogs at its heart with the ability to make your own fun in the open world, travel around and explore and do all the typical side content you would expect in an open world Ubi-soft game, the problem I personally have with Albion who are the paramilitary organization that framed Dedsec this time around, the problem is they are either extremely overpowered and at the same time, dumb as two rocks.

    The case of being overpowered is simple, when your driving around London, Albion pursuit cars will spawn frequently 'just popping up' out of thin air to ram you at ridiculously high speeds, speed these chases makes it nearly impossible to use hacking to move cars away from you, or too activate pillar traps like in Watch Dogs 2 which made for some entertaining and satisfying escapes, and trying to disable drones whilst driving is even more frustrating then once you hack a cargo drone and fly away Albion suddenly can't do anything to stop you escaping, in fact travelling by cargo drone quickly becomes the defacto method to travel around the city.

    The ability to recruit everyone is entertaining for about 10 minutes, getting an old 80 year old to fight is comical at best, and essentially pointless at worse when you can find specialists who actually have helpful abilities. The skill tree is also significantly dumbed down again for Legions mostly revolving around the ability to hijack Albion drones being the most useful.

    Overall, its a passable game but significantly weaker in every department than Watch Dogs 2. I'll be honest and say that covid-19 probably didn't help the development of this game at all, and it shows.    … Expand

    Many things I don’t like about this game, but to start.. never got into the character switching stuff. I would rather have one main character such as Aiden Pearce that you can actually be emotionally invested in and care about.

AI is also dog **** an example is me stealing a bus with the cops behind me but if I just stopped the bus the police would just sit in the car behind and do nothing like wowww so immersive. Stealth also not that great which is a shame, again preferred it in the og watch dogs.

    You do the same thing a lot, the same process over and over again a hundred times. The world and side missions still overestimate the overall rating.

    It's not a perfect game at all. But fun, and it has nice graphics, and the "recruit everyone" mechanic, is pretty cool. Not one of the best games of all time, but one of the best Ubisoft games.

    First of all i should say no matter what people said you have to try this game once however this game struggle with some issue such as storyline which is not well stablish as it should be on the other hand existing of too many bugs in the game make this experince even harder to love but i should mention that the gameplay is strong advantage in this game.

    But still it's a monotonous thing in the scenes

    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]
