I had the feeling that this game was not made for playing it, but so that in the game it was possible to beat women without any analysis, since most of all the opponents are women. I played 2 hours in an hour, I didn't get tired of the game and I decided to kill everyone in a row, and it turned out that I killed 36 women and 21 men and I just went ahead and killed everyone in a row. Thanks ubisoft, but no. You made a game that is ideal to pirate it and not pay for it.    … Expand

    So finally finished the plot in two evenings. Would like to write some words. In fact I'm disappointed with the game. Protagonists don't have own character, you fell them like functions. Yes, you can hire any of people but use only 2-3 of them. I used spy, soldier and drone specialist. Exepting medic and lawyer for passive perks.

Exepting medic and lawyer for passive perks. So there are three way to play, silent mode for spy, hardcore for soldier and remote access for drone specialist. About environment. It's cool , fullfilled with different people, events, drones and small details. But London with its narrows streets makes it uncomfortable to play. Plus stupid NPC's. S lot of bugs like invisible vehicles, texture stucks, and frozen videos. Plot twist also wasn't surprising for me. In substance there's no any new ideas but playing any of people. Can't recommend for buying.… Expand

    I'm confused by the praise heaped on this game. On the plus side, London is beautifully represented, and if you know your way around the real city you will find on foot navigation easy. Another positive is the spiderbot's ability to stealth takedown - easily the most fun to be had here. Unfortunately, there's little else of merit.

On the plus side, London is beautifully represented, and if you know your way around the real city you will find on foot navigation easy. Another positive is the spiderbot's ability to stealth takedown - easily the most fun to be had here. Unfortunately, there's little else of merit. Yes, you can recruit anyone - but they all play more or less the same, so there's no point. The voices are mismatched to characters, particularly by ethnicity - for example a kick-ass black dude I recruited sounds like Pee Wee Herman whilst a middle Eastern mechanic sounds like Black Panther - it's jarring and ruins immersion. The puzzles make little sense and invariably result in you clicking on things randomly, without thought, until you hit the solution. And worst of all, the game freezes and crashes a lot - but combine that with the fact that it uses a save point system that returns you to the start of any mission if there's a crash at any part of it... which more often than not there will be... this one is strictly for masochists only. The first Watch Dogs remains the best by far.… Expand

    GTA5 looks much better in terms of the plot than this expensive squalor, which was not made as a game for people, but was done as extortion of money + money on micro transactions already in the game itself - Ubisoft you have become insolent and this is already beyond the limit!

    Este no es un juego de 2020! La primera parte fue mejor en gráficos y más inteligente en el manejo. El transporte parece muy torpe y casi no ha mejorado. Misiones monótonas como el delirio de la locura) Ubisoft no tiene la intención de crear un juego razonablemente interesado, pero había una mente para extorsionar mucho dinero por esta locura del juego)

    Game looks like 2010 game , everything is blurry . On top of that optimalisation is just pure joke Ihave I5 8600K @5.2 GHZ + RTX 3080 and I`m getting 45-50 FPS on ultra with RT on. This is pure joke. Also GPU usage sits on around 60 % . This is unplayable for me .

    As a fan of WD1 and WD2, this game is straight garbage... Boring, bad optimization, few cars/vehicles, un-logical events (i recruited Albion soldier, approached story mission character, he was scared cause he tought it was Albion, but when he saw my character (Albion soldier in his attire) he was glad it wasnt Albion...)

    Started as a good game, enjoyed the choices even though lack of choice at character selection. After 9+ hours of game play saved game would not load. Tried to contact support and only option was online chat which was not available. Not impressed. If not for technical issues I might have given the game a 5 or 6 overall.

    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.

    1. Story was really worse. Couldn’t even understand the ending why did she betray and kill her self. Also recruiting story is ordinary and doesn’t have an unique story on each person.
    2. There’re so many bugs prevents story progress. For example what I experienced was fell down to underworld while going up stairs and rebooted game for triple times.
    3. There’s no gun can damage NPCs. Need to hijack enemy drones and this is really boring for those who may want to shoot and kill.
    4. Hacking is downgraded. As other person mentioned, player can’t use their mobile to hack traffic lights or manholes.
    5. First person view while driving is not implemented.

    For those reasons, this game is not worth to spend almost $60 and should not buy.    … Expand

    Runs like a Potato on a RTX 2080 Super with DLSS and RTX in FHD. The Game itself is okay but a little bit boring nothing special. The Story is uncreative, but the Performance makes it one of the worst games 2020 after Cyberpunk. Too much Stutter just a simple console port.

    Features a partial aesthetic resembling that of a cyberpunk fiction, all without the narrative depth that would bring it to life. A nauseatingly corporate produced copy and paste open world, with absolutely no inspiration in sight. You really can't make any NPC picked off the street into a compelling protagonist.

    I gave the game 22 minutes before uninstalling. I have a 3090 and a 9900K and playing the game maxed out WITH DLSS in "balanced" gives about 60FPS average...in the benchmark. The moment I got into a vehicle past the tutorial the game can barely maintain >30 FPS. On top of that, it looks like garbage. At least when Crysis melted my computer in 2007 it actually looked good.

    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]
