    NEVER BUY an UBISOFT game on day 1. That is a RULE! bought for $40 just a week ago (Month from its release). UBISOFT quality has ALWAYS been shady, regarding its launches. It is a bummer it takes them almost a month if they care, to make the correct fixes. None of the bugs I encountered were terrible apart from 4 crashes the game had while I played the full campaign.

It is a bummer it takes them almost a month if they care, to make the correct fixes. None of the bugs I encountered were terrible apart from 4 crashes the game had while I played the full campaign.

    I waited for this game literally forever. The ambition of being able to recruit anyone is something I am impressed with this game, yes the skills of characters might be repetitive (BARELY) but each individual in the game seems and feels unique. I have tried to find 2 of the same people and until now havent been able to. I am amazed that all cutscenes involving your character and the way you customize him literally are exact and flawlessly even when zooming on to faces or body and their voice.

    Even though you can be anyone and change characters frequently you dont feel that you are disconnected to them you feel the same as if you only had 1 protagonist that you can play with.

    Visuals are more than impressive, the amount of details in the world are mind blowing, the colors, the visual effects. Having visited London on many occasions, it really captures the vibrance London has. Now the only thing I can say about the world is that they should have put the volume of the cars louder when driving and the atmospheric sound of the city louder as well. I sometimes feel that they sort of muted it down. I have to say the only bug I found with visuals was with color saturation (PS4 Standard version, I feel it is more of my consoles fault) they halfway fixed it with an update this week. (A month since the game released).

    The story is fantastic, really entertaining. Wish there were more car variety in the game. I felt there were only like 15 types of cars so it felt repetitive. The amount of things you can do to carry and execute each mission doesnt make it quite repetitive as you might think. But yes most of the fame is hacking, but that is what watchdogs is.

    I recommend this game to anyone who wants to have fun and enjoy being a stealthy assassin or just a maniac. This is a game about fun and the story does get a hold of you no matter what character you are playing with, Script felt good and entertaining. Wish NPCs could talk more and engage better, sometimes they felt too robotic, when encountered in the streets.

    ALWAYS remember, never buy a game from ubisoft a full retail price or on the day it releases, Unfortunately even with delays, Ubisoft doesnt quite deliver a game without bugs.    … Expand

    Un buen Watch Dogs

    Soy un fan de Watch Dogs aunque el primero no me gustó mucho. Me gustan mucho estos tipos de vídeojuegos, Ubisoft sabe inobar muy bien.

    Absolutely fantastic entry to the series. Loved the story and dynamics. I really liked the "play as anyone" idea, however the game actually improved when they added Aiden and wrench as playable characters with the bloodline dlc.

    Watch Dogs Legion was never bad or awful game, in fact, i would like to argue it's better and deeper than watch dogs 2. Watch Dogs 1 will always be best in the series, unless they do something crazy with WD 4, but Legion is solid enough, it just needs tons of polishing and updates, more content. DLC's must deliver.

However, that is to be expected with a game that attempts to do something new and ambitious - the play as anyone mechanic. The developers are to be particularly applauded for looking to make a game that is a bit different, tries to push the boundaries of what an open world does (I thought the same about Death Stranding), and explores innovative technology for how to deliver a different gaming experience. The play as anyone mechanic adds an interesting dimension that was a little lacking in previous Watch dog games, the need for a degree of planning and strategy which goes a way to alleviating some of the issues of variety in mission structure which I found reduced my enjoyment of Watch Dogs 2. Overall, the game is really enjoyable, the world is expansive and the tone of the visuals is spot-on for reflecting the atmosphere of a near future London under a fascist regime - the environment feels both familiar and oddly distinct which I think comes down to the visual aesthetic of key elements in the world such as vehicles, signs on buildings etc. A lot of people are saying that the absence of a central protagonist makes them feel disconnected, but I have found that in assembling my team I have become attached to a few core operatives and that still allows for an emotional attachment (something underpinned by the permadeath option). So, despite some flaws (that aren't serious enough to impact my enjoyment of the game) this is definitely worth a play to experience something a little different.… Expand

    I really like the concept of Watch Dogs: Legion as it has the system where you can play as any characters which have different abilities, which I think its interesting! But the one thing I do not like about Watch Dogs: the mission system is often homogeneous content repetitive many times.

    I think it is a really good game, at least as good as the Watch Dogs 2, but still it's Ubisoft so there are a lot of glitches and sometimes the game has even crashed on PS4. But although it's problems, this is a really good game, the story is good, the playtime was fun and I really enjoyed it. So my rating is 85%.

    Watch Dogs Legion: Hot damn this is good. In Watch Dogs Legion you play as a Dedsec operative trying to expose the company that framed your company.

The game is just beautiful I bet it looks even better on PS5 but it runs good on the PS4, the shooting feels great hitting the headshots are great to pull off and or just going in with your shotgun and then see the physics as they drop to the floor. The cars are also awesome too not only do you actually get to auto drive cars but a very special car that belongs to a Spy which you should get is basically a Bond car because it can shoot rockets it’s amazing.

The characters (other than the player characters) are pretty fun, Bagley is your AI partner for the game and is a very fun character who is among the ranks of Wheatley, and Glados from Portal. The gameplay of the game is quite variable. You can shoot someone with a nail gun, you can electrocute someone with a drone, you can even fly with a construction crane. Speaking of flying, the driving is actually very fun. Drifting never gets old, and flying 100 mph off of a motorcycle may not be very helpful but it’s pretty funny. The combat could be better but it’s not the main focus, you can do things stealthily which is way more fun like frying someone with a spider-bot, or hacking a vehicle so it runs someone over. The puzzles are actually pretty fun. They introduce cooler stuff as the game goes on that keeps them engaging. Surprisingly the main driving force for me to play the game was the story oddly enough. There are some legitimately cool and downright horrifying twists in this game. The villains are pretty fun and interesting but I did find there to be a few too many running around London. Speaking of London, let’s talk about the city. It’s beautiful. And it feels alive, partly because every character you come across has a backstory, and you may need to use it to your advantage to recruit them. The city of London is very fun to diddle around in and explore. Overall, definitely give this one a shot if you liked the other Watch Dogs games, GTA or pretty much any open world third-person-shooter game.… Expand

    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.
