    Legion is a good game, and more I play it, more I like it.
    But, it is also a unfinished, unpolished game. Everything in it, from skybox to weather to NPCs, is still at a very rough state, and that makes me feel like I am playing thru a beta version, not a launch game with day one patch on PS4Pro. So, the game does need some serious patching and polishing.
    Luckily, main gameplay,    Legion is a good game, and more I play it, more I like it.

So, the game does need some serious patching and polishing.
    Luckily, main gameplay, shooting, driving, hacking, close combat, works well. And I have not encountered any major glitches or game breaking bugs. Which means you can play thru the game at its current state if you want. Although it might be smarter to wait for them to properly patch it up.
    Best thing about Legion for me at the mo is the wry, smart humor we learned to love in WD2. And all the British accents! And the interesting stories all over the map.
    When I started the game, all the gun, security and riot drones whizzing about the place made it rather chaotic and unfriendly experience. So, the game has a rough start that throws you in at the deep end. But, it only took few hours to acquire the skills to deal with them dangerous drones (trying to avoid spoilers here!). And it was at that point the game started rocking.
    At the mo, I can only give the game 7/10 due to the roughness of it all. But once Ubi polishes it all up, it will be worth 8/10, easy. A good, solid game, worth playing for sure.
    Added later; I had to drop the score to 6, due to two factors: 1. The missions become painfully repetitive further you play thru the story and...
    2. London in Legion is boring. The city lacks anything interesting to see. The historic buildings are there, but apart from them, the city is very drab and dull and devoid of detail, and does not represent or resemble real London in any way. Its like they just copied the historic buildings from Syndicate, then built the rest of the city around them in a week. Far cry from WD2's lively city. And far cry from Syndicate's London too, come to think of it.
    And while they've released two more updates, they do not really do anything of note to the game's issues...
    Final verdict after competion: The best part of the game has been the recruitment. I managed to find some really interesting and likable characters from the streets of London, and have become very fond of them, as they all have their own personality. (the recruits I gained from missions weren't nearly as interesting, tho)
    -sadly, the rest of the game is best forgotten, so, 6/10 it remains. I'll keep the game, tho, just to see if it looks and sound any better on PS5...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let’s get the positive out of the way. The game looks absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been working in London for over 6 years and could find my way through it with only minor difficulties due to some small layout changes. It felt amazing to find my workplaces just by roaming the street, as well as the differences. The hacking system is fun, especially zipping about in drones and jumping from camera to camera. I’ve probably spent most of my time on cargo drones, crawling through the sky at leisurely speed.

    The use of puzzles is also excellent, even if you start questioning who installs network nodes on the outside of a skyscraper. Unfortunately, the best story of the game Is a side story. Skye Larsen’s arc was extremely creepy and genuinely made me feel for the characters involved.

    It’s the only gripping part of the game. Up until then I thought the Clan Kelley quests had a good payoff, but the Skye quest line made them feel far less involved.

    The game suffers from tons of repetition. Dialog, recruitment quests, you’re bound to run through everything 5-20 times. For someone living in England, the game presents a very obvious caricature with extreme stereotypes - none of which we needed. Imagine a world in which everyone talks like Dick van Dyke in Marry Poppins, just with a somewhat more authentic (heavy) accent.

    Lore items, of which there are quite a few, also missed a trick in world building. In many cases they just exist to drive the point of the main mission home, whereas other games like Horizon expand the game world with them.

    None of your decisions have a palpable effect on the world you move in. „Freeing“ a Borough changes next to nothing, major decisions have no effect on world or story whatsoever. Ingame currency and clothing have zero use, but I’m sure they’ll command a premium in the online version.

    Getting multiple operatives is, in its essence, awesome. You can recruit every single person in the game, if the repetitive quests don’t bore you to death before that. Unfortunately it’s also next to unnecessary. Some of the abilities, like uniformed access, are only necessary very rarely (usually only once or twice, to warrant their existence). There is a cookie cutter combination - a good hacker with a stealth spider bot on a cargo drone. You can accomplish nearly anything with that combination with very little threat to yourself. Fly over target, drop spiderbot, crawl away and merrily take out whoever comes your way, done. Very few quests bother to push you out of that comfort zone.

    For a game that puts so much emphasis on being nonviolent (the main motivation of DedSec is to prove they were not being a terrorist attack with many deaths), being violent (ie outright killing instead of incapacitating) has no downsides.

    It’s a shame. In a world that has GTA V, The Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn, the technically great premise for Watch Dogs Legion results in a game that wallows in its mediocrity. But hey, the graphics are great.    … Expand

A robot reading off the script could do a better job, the whole idea of playing as everyone is used badly, the game has a bug where voices get distorted. It's somewhat playable/enjoyable. But I wouldn't buy it for full price. Even I'd have to really consider it to buy it at half price.… Expand

I loved playing as the construction worker as she had the drone to ride into just about any area. I completed about 90% of the game with her. I’ve played the game twice already and loved it- and will play again in the future. I think it’s much better than some of the reviews it’s received. Give it a shot!… Expand

    The story feels very shallow and boring (but that again, any Ubisoft game is like that so i bought expecting so), the city is beautiful and immense, but I did not feel like exploring it, it didnt feel alive , not rewarding to do any exploration. The controls felt very clunky, and the UI to access maps and other things in the game were horrible, no shortcuts to check the map for example, you need to open the menu and select map. To target an enemy with your gun, there is no targeting support, so you struggle to point a little dot (like in GTA) at your enemies....I tried very hard to find a single positive aspect in this game but i just couldnt.    … Expand

    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

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

In this game there seems to be only a few bars and whatnot scattered about. Next, the music. Music for me really makes a game shine if its executed properly. Watch Dogs Legion's music is a little meh in terms of songs and impact. Also, in Watch Dogs 2 the music app was a very cool choice, you could even make your own playlist and as well as discover new songs around the game world. Here there's really nothing like that at all. The upgrade menu for gadgets and other items just seems dull and like it was an afterthought. there are a few cool upgrades but theres not really a lot there.

    Now one of the coolest aspect's of the game is the fact that every character is recruit-able, i think that is a very cool thing. But, its not perfect, some of the voice acting can be a bit dodgy and off putting and i found that i could beat every mission with seemingly just one operative so it kind of broke that illusion of the multiple recruits.

    In conclusion, this isn't a terrible game ive definitely had my share of fun and memorable moments. I think its step in the right direction but needs some fine tuning before it can really be great.    … Expand

    London is good but the storyline is the same type of repeated missions with the same hacks and repeat everything in a circle. The script is big BUT gets boring quickly. The game captures only half and before the end I threw it because the repetition of monotony in the plot **** no up such a game.

    Watch_Dogs is a franchise that I've been following from the beginning and have enjoyed each game in the franchise. While the franchise has had some ups and downs, I've generally enjoyed each game and this game is no exception. That being said, it is not a perfect game. The recruit anyone mechanic that is the main focus of the game is both one of the game's biggest strengths, but alsoWatch_Dogs is a franchise that I've been following from the beginning and have enjoyed each game in the franchise. While the franchise has had some ups and downs, I've generally enjoyed each game and this game is no exception. That being said, it is not a perfect game. The recruit anyone mechanic that is the main focus of the game is both one of the game's biggest strengths, but also one of the biggest weaknesses. The good side is what it adds to gameplay. There's so many different ways to take on each mission and once New Game Plus is added in a future update, I feel this game will have a lot of replay value for that exact reason. Most of the operatives are pretty interesting to play as and no matter how you prefer to play, you should be able to find an operative that fits your style of play. Unfortunately however, this same mechanic really holds back the story itself, with most of the operatives getting generic lines for cut scenes and it's hard to really connect to any of them from a story perspective for this reason. It doesn't help that there's really only about 30-40 voice actors who have their voices changed with the technology available for there to be maybe about 100 different voices or so? This means character voices do repeat and individual lines repeat even more. I feel like the good sides of this out weight the bad, but it is something that could be improved upon in future titles. I do also wish there were more character archetypes. After about 10 or so hours of gameplay, a lot of the character jobs, descriptions and abilities feel like they repeat a lot. More ways to customize your operatives would also be nice. All in all, it's an interesting mechanic that adds a lot of fun to the game, but it's easy to tell this is the first game to do this.

    As for the rest of the game's aspects, it's pretty fun. It's has some pretty solid graphics and sounds and most of the hacking from previous games is there. I was a bit disappointed they seem to have taken out the blackout hack, however I also somewhat assume they are saving that as a special character trait for when Aiden Pearce releases as DLC. They've also added a few new hacks and in general almost every object in the game seems to be hackable. The usual hack puzzles are also here and just as entertaining/annoying as usual and there's plenty of side adventures to explore. The game is a bit repetitive at times, but this is made up once again by the different ways you can take on various missions. The Spider-Bot is a great improvement and one of my favorite new aspects of the game. London seems to be really accurate to the real life location and I've heard this game referred to as "London citizen simulator," which seems somewhat accurate. I do wish you could enter a few more buildings however and there was less teasing of which ones you can and can't enter. I saw NPCs exit and enter buildings I couldn't go into quite a bit and that's a bit annoying, especially when it isn't always clear just looking at them which ones you can go into. The game is a bit glitchy at times however, having crashed on me about three or four times in the last few weeks I've been playing since the game released. This is something they keep saying each patch will fix and so far none has. I assume they will eventually fix this, but as of this moment it seems to still be there. Also, they've promised online play to come in an upcoming update as well, so that could change the experience when that releases and raise the score for this game.

    Ultimately, while I did have a lot of fun with this game, I'd recommend waiting for it to hit a discount before picking it up unless you are a hardcore watch_dogs fan, or perhaps waiting to pick it up when you get your hands on an Xbox Series S/X or PS5. Ubisoft games are generally pretty fast to go down in price and if this is your first Watch_Dogs game, I think you'd regret purchasing this at 60 dollars when you could easily pick up Watch_Dogs 2 for 20 or the first game for less than that, both of which are equally good experiences. However, once this game does reach the bargain bin (which most Ubisoft games do within a year of release) I would strongly recommend picking this up. By that point the online aspects will have released, the DLC will also have hopefully released and the glitchiness will hopefully be fixed. It's a VERY fun game and I'd recommend it to anyone who's a fan of GTA style games. There are a few downsides, but most of my problems with the game are generally pretty minor. If you see this for 20 dollars in a few months, I'd strongly recommend picking it up!    … Expand

    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.

    It's an okay game. Watch dogs 2 was better in a lot of ways, especially in driving and in storytelling. The possibility of recruiting everybody is more a gimmick than anything, it's not used in any significant way sadly. The setup is nice (but an "apolitic brexit" is a little bit stupid). I think once again, Ubisoft did half the job, not going all the way to their idea.

    - The general atmosphere of the world is spectacular, and the general London feel is captured perfectly. If you have ever lived in London, the game will unconditionally make you feel nostalgic. Everything - down to small details like advertisement style - has been thought out to make you feel like you are living in the same city that, 15 years ago, was the London that we read in the news about today.
    - The recruitment mechanic is fantastic and works just like advertised. Every NPC in the game (apart from a dozen story-specific characters) is recruitable, and actually feels like a distinct individual with their own set of strengths and weaknesses, personality, and a complex life behind them. Every NPC has a detailed biography and everyday schedule, and which NPC you recruit has noticeable effects on the gameplay: the same mission can be an exercise in stealth, a full-blown firefight, a sniper-like quest, or even a drone war depending on which character you decide to complete it with. This, in conjunction with the game's general sandbox mechanic which makes the open world malleable and dynamic, provides numerous opportunities for you to express your creativity and play the game like you want to play it.
    - Some of the chapters (notably the Skye Larsen and Dedsec chapters) were captivating and featured genuinely thrilling storytelling.
    Negatives:
    - The character models, as well as their movement, animations, facial expressions, and lip-syncing are seriously outdated. It can be pretty weird seeing these comically poor characters interact with such an advanced and almost photorealistic environment.
    - The voice acting is some of the worst that I have ever seen. For some characters, I feel like a random person on the street would've done a better job. Besides, the accents of the characters match neither the characters' personalities nor, even more noticeably, the general London population. For some reason, Ubisoft seem that London is inhabited almost exclusively by native Patwah or Polish speakers, which is obviously wildly inaccurate; on the other hand, the massively popular MLE dialect is barely featured at all. As a consequence of all of these factors, immersion - and with it the otherwise wonderfully executed illusion of being in futuristic London - takes a massive hit.
    - The AI is bad. Albion staff won't shoot at you even after you have literally almost killed them; they won't spot you even if you are in their plain sight; and the less said about vehicle AI - which would be underwhelming even in year 2000 - the better.
    - Melee combat is very primitive, although most other combat mechanics are pretty good.
    - Other than a few thrilling moments, the general storyline is basic, and almost all missions follow the exact same format: break into building - kill a few guards - retrieve artefact - possibly survive ambush - escape to safety. The game starts to feel repetitive after a few such missions - especially given that completing a mission is a prerequisite for every new recruitment, which is honestly a bit of a nuisance.
    - I can't help but feel that much, much more could have been made of the amazing open world that Ubisoft has built and the recruitment system available at Ubisoft's disposal. The characters could be grouped into different classes, with more powerful classes having more demanding recruitment criteria; the missions could be designed to encourage us to interact with the game-world more - for example, some missions could require us to recruit a particular type of character, say a cryptocurrency analyst, so we would be encouraged to recognise that cryptocurrency analysts usually work in the types of skyscraper found in the City, and go look for them there; hell, they could even go crazy and establish a relationship system, whereby relationship points would be gained by engaging in the appropriate activities with them (e.g. taking them to some cafe in the city or engaging in a brawl) based on their profile. Unfortunately, none of that has been done, and the best recruitment strategy as of right now is simply to find the character that you want to recruit in a place you'd expect them to be and recruit them. Only a few types of character are actually worthy of being recruited, with the rest being completely useless, and the recruitment itself is monotone and repetitive. Additionally, not much has been made of the highly interactive open world, and there is a lot of untapped potential.

    All in all, Watch Dogs Legion is definitely worth trying out, and it's a fun and immersive experience. However, it's certainly got its flaws, and it could have easily been a masterpiece instead of the merely "pretty good" game that it is.

    Overall, he is how I would summarise it:
    Graphics: 9/10
    Story: 7/10
    Gameplay mechanics: 8/10

    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

    Eh gameplay can be improved but the visuals are just next level. I'm surprised they managed to make this work on so many platforms and ship on time! (Cough Cyberpunk)

    reading some of these comments makes me think like "are these people actually lying?" during my 10 hour game session i haven't had single hardcore bug in this game, zero crashes, I'm not even sure if i have had any minor bugs to be honest. Everything just works lol.

    Ubisoft games are usually from decent to even very good. Good example is Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, this game is amazing. So whoever says that Ubisoft games suck, has absolutely no taste in gaming whatsoever. I don't even wanna know what trash games these people play.    … 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.
