Nov 1, 2020I hope we see a sequel. A bolder direction like this deserves recognition versus the many carbon copies of other games, even in Ubisoft's own roster of franchises. With a bit more bite, a follow-up could be – as we say in London – the dog’s bollocks.

Oct 29, 2020A saving grace for Watch Dogs' London is that you can walk up to and talk to anyone you see, recruit them, and play as them. It's a concept that breaths life into the game, and makes you connect deeper with the story, knowing that peoples' actions can directly affect someone who you could play as and embody. The "legion" part of Watch Dogs: Legion works.

Oct 28, 2020Legion was built according to the ever-ballooning scale of AAA games, and it suffers for it. The people who made it could never get the resources they needed to be pursue this ambitious experiment without also making it a blockbuster, 30+ hour long game. It could never wear its politics on its very fashionable sleeves, without also being tailored for style over substance. The frustrating truth is that given the context of its development and the case of its goals, Watch Dogs: Legion might be the very best it could be. But as even DedSec would tell us, revolutions don’t happen from the inside out.
