    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.

    Terrible PC optimization, no cockpit view while driving. Watch Dogs 2 is still the best one. Ubisoft doesn't let you refund after launching the game once, so better pirate the game first to see if it can run well on your PC before buying.

    Have to say it's weaker than watch dogs 1 (best in the series) but even then it's not worst game ever. I have high hopes for Aiden's dlc, hopefully Ubisoft delivers.
    actual score 6/10
    but thanks to haters i have to give it 10/10

    I used to love this game until the most recent update came out. With the release of TU 5.5 came a quest titled The New Creed. Part of the quest has you jumping from platform to platform. The problem is there is no jump button in the game.

    Its a very repetitive game that held so much potential to be a great game but it fell flat. The game lacked direction since it is one of the first game to get rid of the concept of NPC. You can play as anyone in the game except the 5 main bad guys so the voice acting took a hit. There were like hardly 6 voices pasted on different-looking characters.

There were like hardly 6 voices pasted on different-looking characters. The Assassin's Creed DLC was done so poorly. Ubisoft trying to put magic and mystical powers in regular world never go hand in hand. The game could have been more grounded and better if it just went with WatchDogs Bloodline DLC as the main story which was actually well done and enjoyable throughout.

    Tip - Just download the Prestige Operative mod to get all the best characters in the game and I would recommend playing the entire game as Aiden or Wrench since their voice acting and dialogue are the best in the game.    … Expand

    The first problem for me was the voice... Multiple voices were the same and didn't match their bodies whatsoever! I had a chinese old lady that sounded like Mary Poppins...
    The edgyness was also bad for me, i ended up only recruiting normal people.
    THe recruitment was ok but it got stale after a while.
    The world was very good! I really liked driving around altough the performance was not amazing.

    The story was boring honestly... I literally played it just talking with friends on discord, had no interest in it, and i just finished it because i have OCD and couldn't just give up after 20 hours soo i forced myself to end it.

    If u see it at 10 euros buy it, anything more than it is not enough.    … Expand

    Not enough for a top Ubisoft game. Watchdogs saga is still going down after a first game that was far behind the hype generated but had at least a decent story.
    Legion is a mix of ideas that doesn't work as whole. The story is pretty weak, short, and not having any real main character makes it impossible to feel much integrated in it.

    Legion is a mix of ideas that doesn't work as whole. The story is pretty weak, short, and not having any real main character makes it impossible to feel much integrated in it.
    About the recruiting concept, could be nice but needs some proper work behind it. Recruitable characters are mainly the same with different abbilities, but when a spy, an anarchist and a construction worker talk in exactly the same way...the lack of work on them shows.
    Difficulty is non-existant basically. Yes, a few of the last missions make you get in gunfights with many enemies, but apart from that you can basically use your spider bot (that's crazy op) to do every single mission, not even having to get your operative in restricted areas. And even if you do, you can easily go guns blazing without a problem.
    If we get into vehicles, thats another dissapointment. The futuristic look just gave developers the perfect excuse to put next to zero work in this. They're way too similar, most of them empty (yes, "IA driving" might work for taxis but not for all) and sound is so bad that you almost don't see the difference when it gets bugged and just dissapears, wich happens a lot (one of many, many bugs).
    So talking about bugs, having played the game way after it's release date, it's amazing how many there are even for an Ubi game (we know they're quite the bug lovers). Car sound dissapearing being one, npcs appearing from nothing while you're driving in the middle of the road (sometimes Albion sees you killing them and you get into a nice bug-pursuit) when not appearing fighting in the middle of a highly restricted area. Typical texture problems with characters as well, or those drones flying inside others, teletransporting instead of flying (no fps problems, just bugged)...just too many for a supposedly top class game.
    Missions are ultra repetitive, even main missions have always the same "hack this, fight there" sctructure. Secondary missions are a mix of no story, hack and kill and a few decent missions, while recruiting missions are just nonsense. Just the same 4 or 5 standard missions on repeat, having nothing to do with the character itself.
    So yes, I think it's pretty bad for what what's supposed to be, but still a 4 because you can get some decent play hours out of it (even when it feels more arcade than sandbox).
    On the good side, playing in London is a nice update from repeating the same USA cities over and over again.    … Expand

    WD Legion however burns my soul, What happened, where is the cinematic prowess, why does Aiden Pearce look like an Old bum?

    This franchise needs a Remake Now, I don't want a Watch_dogs IV because clearly, your developers, writers, and executives do not know where this franchise needs to be heading.

    Do you want some help? Just ask me, ask anyone that understands the idea behind Watchdogs, This Franchise is my number one priority that requires a remake, completely from the ground up.
    And you decide Black Flag needs an Update, how dense are you?

    One day, and I guarantee this, One day I will work for you, I will pitch a Watchdogs Remake, and you're not gonna say no.

    WD Legion is the worst game in the franchise, period, and I dislike almost every single aspect of it.
    But I'm fair towards games, that's just my nature, so congratulations you get a 5/10. It is a borderline standard game, it's not bad, it's not good either.

    If you ever come to your senses and start development on a Watch_Dogs remake I want to be in on it. I will not let an opportunity like that be wasted, by poor management, and development, at least not in this reality.    … Expand

    No creo que sea el mejor juego de Ubisoft. Es mediocre, es dificil encariñarse de algunos de sus personajes, sus misiones son bien repetitivas, entre otras cosas. Lo que si puedo decir es que lo de los personajes da cierto gran abanico para pasar la historia, además de que gráficamente luce muy bien. Por lo demás, está mal optimizado hasta el día de hoy. Comprarlo solo si está en oferta.

    After the first two games were kinda fun, this one was absolutely horrible. The Legion mechanic is absolutely not worth pursuing, and all the missions are absolute chores. Characters are absolutely one dimensional and are rebellious in a way a 14yo in his edgy phase is.

    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]
