    Watch Dogs Legion is the third installment in Ubisoft’s hacker open world trilogy. It isn't the best of the three games. This game had a lot of bugs even after patches.

It isn't the best of the three games. This game had a lot of bugs even after patches. I played this game in January of 2021 and still had a lot of issues. My game also crashed several times. Some of the bugs I experienced caused me to close my application and start my mission over again. Another bug I came across was cars just blowing up randomly. This happened several times and it killed me once permanently killing one of my operatives.

    This game was very repetitive as well. There wasn't any real immersion. I don't even remember my characters' names. And due to that I couldn't really get into the story. All the missions where just take out a group of enemies in a compound stealthy or guns and blazing just to hit a button or hack a little device which is copied and pasted across all the missions. The recruitment missions had no variety at all. I found myself replaying the same recruitment mission several times over again. And the characters I recruited all had similar character models in fact I had two identical characters with the same voice actors. The gun combat also felt really easy even on hard it wasn't really challenging. One feature they don't have in this game that watch dogs 2 had was being able to buy cars. This was one feature I really enjoyed in watch dogs 2 but im disappointed Watch dogs legion doesn't have. Stealth in watch dogs 2 was a lot more fun because the characters didn't feel as brain dead and clueless. I would take down a guy right next to another and he wouldn't even notice.

    With there being a lot of bad in this game there are still good things.The melee combat was very fun and believable. I found myself using hand to hand combat more than using guns. They also expanded on the overall hacking. They shortened hacking cool downs on everything. It takes only 10 seconds to recharge quick hacks. Being able to hack vehicles without a cool down where all good changes. They also improved the driving. In watch dogs 2 the driving was very clunky and poor but they improved it in watch dogs legion. The handle break function was very fun to use drifting around the city. They also brought back the little puzzles where you have to move the tiles around to connect a positive energy source. These puzzles occurred a lot more in Watch Dogs Legion and I was glad for that because that was one of the things I enjoyed about Watch Dogs 2.

    Overall Watch Dogs Legion was a pretty average experience due to a lot of bugs, boring story and poor character development and a poor example as play as anyone the game ranks out as a 6/10 which is a step down from Watch Dogs 2. If Ubisoft wants to make another watch dogs game they should work on the storytelling, level design and character development.    … Expand

По моему мнению эта игра не стоит даже 4-ёх тысяч рублей, что уж там говорить о 4_ёх с половиной...

The character graphics seem very 2016-17 esc, while yes its still good looking compared to games like GTA 5, which came out in 2013 seems very outdated. City graphics seems really nice and don't look out dated like the characters. The story can be very confusing if you skip all the cutscenes (don't do that if its your first play through).

    Great game. Really reminds me of watch dogs, the story is a bit lackluster and there are a couple of bugs that are persistant but it is day two so they can be patched out soon. The characters aren't amazing,but have personalities. The living world and play as anyone aspect gets more fun and fun the more you play. If you are a watch dogs fan or assassins creed fan, pick this game up.

    The games main mechanic is a operative generator; meaning that in this game there is no single protagonist to topple an ever familiar totalitarian technocracy but rather procedurally generated NPC’s that can be recruited to your cause, each with their own quirks and capabilities. A few examples I stumbled across during my first 6 hours were; a construction worker, who had access to a heavy wrench that was better in melee combat as well as a cargo drone that could be summoned and flow at any given time, a doctor with a gambling addiction, meaning that whilst I could gain access to medical areas I also lost currency periodically in the game and also an old lady who was fantastic at hacking. The generation system doesn’t seem repetitive as of yet, there’s a good mix of perks and downfalls that merge well together to make a varied enough experience that makes you want to seek out those top operative.

    The story is kind of mediocre and underwhelming. It’s a plot that’s very transparent, there’s no surprises that you wont see coming. The characters that serve to fill in the story in the place of a missing protagonist come off as generic and plain more often than not. The one exception being your A.I assistant Bagley who provides enough quips and gags to keep the game more light hearted and fun compared to his counterparts.

    Watch Dogs: Legion is set in a futuristic London and this is where the game truly shines through. Being British it was a delight to finally see a city that I know and love brought to live in the form of a video game. I spent my first through hours driving through the streets of London with drones overhead, visiting all my favourite tourist hotspots and streets that I’ve known growing up. The attention to detail here is pretty impressive, with many buildings and even similar businesses in the correct places geographically.

    Unfortunately as many of us know sometimes its not all about the looks. Whilst aesthetically Ubisoft does a great job at recreating London. I can’t help but feel there’s something missing to tie it all together. It feels kind of dated and bland on some occasions, driving from one area to another with little to no random encounters, like we’ve become accustomed to with the likes of Fallout, Witcher or Red Dead Redemption. The repetition of get mission, go to mission area, interact with console is rife in this title. The saving grace comes from the operator generator that lets you tackle the mission areas in different kinds of ways, but even then I found myself reverting back to the hide’n’hack tactics of its predecessors.

    Audio on the game is appealing on a whole. The game has a broad selection of modern and classic music to help fill the air in London. The one place where it lets itself down is the generated voice acting that sometimes messes with tone and pitch a bit to much to come across as genuine.

    Overall I think its definitely worth a play if your a follower or fan of the series. It has some replay ability in that you can retry areas with different operatives for a different experience; and there’s a catch’em all vibe with regards to finding and recruiting operatives.    … Expand

    As a huge fan of the first two in the series, I was very disappointed in this game. After the appeal of recruiting anyone wears off after a few hours, you realize this game has no variety in missions and side activities.

    The story has no cohesion as their all played in different chapters. Once you get a hitman and a albion uniform recruit the game is easy mode. Af

However, if you are looking for an Xcom lite in an open world third person and you can ignore most else, using the world and story as reasons to play around in a digital sandbox and want the risk of permadeath to mould the way you play and use all systems available then you'll have great fun but there is one more catch, it takes some progression into the story before Permadeath kicks in and you might be put off early on, I'd say stick with it if you've already bought it.

    However, if I could, I would have waited for a sale, It's an Ubisoft game and there is a lot of jank with massive shortfalls in TLC and polish as well as bonkers about of tiny busy work that means **** all more than collectables in any other AAA game.

    This isn't a handcrafted game, you can feel the lack of passion and the politics seeping though from the developers is questionable, almost like Antifa made this game (and yes, i know that's the theme but it cuts deeper than that, too much of it it is on the nose and agenda pushy.

    I'll give it a 7 but it barely scraps by and that is only because I went in with the sole intent of only focusing on the sim aspect and permadeath while consciously making the decision to play the story while podcasting or watching youtube/netflix. If I was playing this game ignoring permadeath and were looking for a good story, good characters and enjoyable interesting missions that didn't rely on me making my own fun then I couldn't see myself giving it more than a 5. I'll give it a 7 though because they have focused on allowing me to make my own fun in the game and it works really well, It would have benefited them if they had made that clear to all players and pulled back from trying to force the player to play a certain way through the tutorials and endless on screen prompts, HUD elements and so on.

    This game could have been something really special had they just went full on immersive sim and dialed back everything else but I suppose they'd loose the casuals, it seems like a corporate decision and they messed up.    … Expand

    Cons:
    - Very outdated shooting and gunplay. Sure, you can play as a professional hitman like John Wick but the whole thing feels very 2010. After playing The Last of Us 2 and experiencing the shooting mechanics on the Wolfenstein series, Max Payne 3, there's too much of bullet sponge enemies, not enough blood and gore, and not enough animations. The AI is just quite dumb. The stealth takedowns are just not satisfying enough. They are too effortless to achieve. The gunplay is definitely an inferior version of The Division, even though The Division was just average at best.

    - The sounds of the guns barely have any weight in them. Sounds just like they got audio from stock and pasted it to the game. Same goes for punching people as well.

    - A very politically woke game?
    - Barely existing story?
    - 30 FPS on the PS4?
    - The lip sync is just...terrible.
    - Some of the voices totally feels very automated and unnatural.
    - A lot of...ugly looking characters? (But then again, Ubisoft have a lot of terribly looking characters in their games)
    - Missions have barely any variety. Go to one place. Hack something. Use spiderbot. Stun someone. Collect something. Hear some dialogue. Move on.
    - The driving in the game still feels bad. Even in comparison to the GTA series, this game falls in behind. All the cars feels like they are rubberband powered, all the handling is extremely tight, no sense of acceleration as every car reaches their top speed in like 2 seconds. It just doesn't put immersion when you are being chased by Albion. Way too easy to escape and you never feel a sense of urgency.

    - Seeing London imagined into a modernish/futuristic game is awesome, especially living in England it's refreshing to play in London.
    - Combat is alright, it's fairly easy to work out how to take people out without really worrying about dying.
    - Recruiting anyone...Yeah, it's cool, it's interesting to know I can hire some old far who's nipping out for some coffee and in the next hour have him taking out armed guards in high-security facilities...
    - Story...I don't mind it...I don't love it though. I kind of like the idea of bringing down the dystopian style regime of the private force and freeing London.
    Cons:
    - Recruiting anyone...literally...without any real issue? Some people will literally join the most wanted terrorist group simply because you helped delete some of their files...? I really wish some people just straight up declined, or there was risk that someone would report you for trying to recruit you. Would make recruiting someone based on their opinions, a little better.
    - Movement. it's janky as hell, doesn't really feel all that smooth
    - Crashes. Granted, I'm playing on the Xbox one, but I've had around 20 crashes already. Some of which have been 5 seconds into game loading...it's just not okay?
    - Dialogue. It's cheesy, and cringe. Feels like it's trying to be 'down with the kids' and misses the mark. Some of it is funny. Oh, it doesn't match up with the lip movements of the characters either...
    - Missions are fairly samey and easy. most of it can just be done with the spider bot, and most of it feels the sam. Yes, it's a hacking game, but it's literally 'go here and hack this, then go there and hack that' and boom you're done.

    Is it worth £52? Not in my opinion. Personally, I'd wait until there is a sale on and cop this at a much lesser cost.    … Expand

    Not that bad but 2 had way more to do and a better map, Being able to play as anyone just lets them get out of having to write actual characters. I hope no other games do this if they had kept it a single protagonist game it would be way better. Also you can't go in to stores or buy cars and there's way less paint jobs for the few set cars some operatives have.

    Almost worse than Far Cry 5:
    Since I've played Watch Dogs 1 and 2 I noticed a huge upgrade between the two games, but this doesn't happen here.
    Watch Dogs Legion is basically Watch Dogs 2 without nice characters and with almost every feature worse than the lates games. I think the idea was nice but I always knew it wasn't gonna work, i mean, no protagonist? Okay, maybe in the future,    Almost worse than Far Cry 5:

    I think the idea was nice but I always knew it wasn't gonna work, i mean, no protagonist? Okay, maybe in the future, but not in 2020 in a Ubisoft game. Only the final mission presents something that could work with the no protagonist thing and GTA 5 from 2013 did better.
    I wish this was the only problem, but no. The main story follows a Watch Dogs 1 way but much worse. The plot Twist, the team dinamic, the gameplay loop, It's everything so boring and bad writted. Watch Dogs 2 had a gameplay loop just like Legion, but the team dinamic and the dialogues helped.
    They tried to inovate, they delayed the game and nothing. Ubisoft made it again.
    A not finished mediocre game with a bad character sistem and boring bad written story.    … Expand

    Sim, a legião decepcionou. Faltou Watch Dogs nesse jogo.

    Sou um fã da franquia, joguei o primeiro e segundo jogos e me diverti muito e criei compaixão tanto por Aiden quanto por Marcus, a evolução do 1 para o 2 foi insana em gameplay, o que me deixou muito animado para o novo jogo, porém, tem algo no Legion que me faz sentir como se não estivesse jogando Watch Dogs, e sim algum outro    Sim, a legião decepcionou.

    Sou um fã da franquia, joguei o primeiro e segundo jogos e me diverti muito e criei compaixão tanto por Aiden quanto por Marcus, a evolução do 1 para o 2 foi insana em gameplay, o que me deixou muito animado para o novo jogo, porém, tem algo no Legion que me faz sentir como se não estivesse jogando Watch Dogs, e sim algum outro TPS (Third person shooter) qualquer.
    Apesar de conseguir me divertir bastante, após a história, o game perde o sentido, não tem mais o porque recrutar tais agentes se a luta já acabou, além de que, depois de recrutar um espião já se faz de tudo e ainda tem as animações e armas mais maneiras do game, portanto contratar outros não serve para nada. A falta de protagonista não foi suprida pela história, que por si foi mediana, porém genérica ao extremo, onde a parte mais interessante é praticamente uma história da pessoa que imaginou o Upload da série Upload da Amazon Prime.
    Senti um retrocesso no parkour do jogo, o que é péssimo, pois Aiden e Marcus faziam acrobacias incríveis nos jogos anteriores. Reciclamento de rosto e voz dos personagens também é extremamente comum, apesar da dublagem engraçada em um bom sentido (ponto pra equipe por não ter forçado sotaques tão fortes quanto na versão legendada).
    Um pós game péssimo com exatamente NADA para fazer. O personagem mais carismático do jogo é um robô, o que seria estranho, pois robôs não deveriam demonstrar sentimentos, mas o carisma dele é explicado pela missão secundaria dele onde mostram a origem de Bagley, foi mais interessante que a história em si.
    Parece que a Ubisoft se esforçou em trazer um ambiente ala Watch Dogs 1 (mais sombrio/dark), mas entregou história e personagens no estilo Watch Dogs 2 (mais animado e jovem, o que funcionou excelentemente no 2)
    Não é tudo horrível, as animações de finalização são excelentes (único jogo em que me senti o John Wick ao jogar com o matador profissional), o novo combate corpo a corpo é com certeza algo que faltava nos anteriores porém não foi tão bem executado considerando a existência de sistemas muito superiores em jogos como Sleeping Dogs ou até mesmo GTA 5. Outro ponto positivo é o impressionante trabalho da Ubisoft com as relações entre os NPCS. Matar ou agradir um familiar de alguém que não gosta do Dedsec faz com que essa pessoa comece a tomar atitudes como te xingar no meio da rua ou até mesmo sequestrar um membro de sua equipe Dedsec. Ao encontrar policiais ou agentes da Albion que aparentemente não gostam do Dedsec (o que pode ser identificado no perfilamento com o simbolo de "deslike"), é possível fazer algumas tarefas para que eles aceitem dar uma chance ao grupo. Essas tarefas incluem diversas coisas que vão de: incapacitar/matar o agiota, perseguidor ou investigador dessa pessoa até mesmo roubar informações confidencias de seus rivais de trabalho. Esse sistema de recrutamento é um ponto forte e divertido do jogo.
    Definitivamente não vale os quase 300 reais cobrados e eu evitaria comprá-lo até que a versão completa esteja por pelo menos 80 reais.

    Uma palavra que descreve o jogo em geral: Decepcionante.    … Expand

    I’d love to give the game a more solid go, as I’m usually not the fussy type. However, it’s hard to enjoy a game that doesn’t save properly. It stops saving after the Reporting for Duty mission. Beyond frustrating.

    Watch Dogs: Legion is far from perfect. It tries to tell a story about resisting oppression via the power of the people, but the concept of making any character in the world a viable choice means that the experience ends up being too broad and vague. I was able to spice things up by bringing my own roleplay to characters and used items that weren’t necessary, but this was my way of compensating for the ways in which Watch Dogs: Legion falls short of what I want from a triple-A adventure.

    What you’re left with is a game that delivers a greatlooking futuristic London, and not much of anything else. It suffered a hefty delay, and the series transitioned from Ubisoft Montreal to Ubisoft Toronto. Something has been lost here, and we can’t help but feel that the commitment to making any character playable is the core issue. That’s been made possible, but just because Ubisoft could, that didn’t mean the developer should have. [Issue#182, p.147]

    Watch Dogs: Legion is undoubtedly the best of the series, the one that is closest to bringing the experience promised by that trailer of the first game. Hacks are useful and the lack of a fixed character ends up making DedSec the true protagonist and, since we recruit, control and manage the operators, in the end we end up feeling part of the resistance.
