    I had so much fun to play this game. Had two crashes in the first week. After the bugfix update it was fine. No crashes since then. One of the best games of 2020 for me.

    I have been hyped about this game since i learned about it, and I can tell you its what i expected. If you are looking for a fun open world game, I highly suggest it. The only downside for me is the lack of side content and the driving can be cluncky at times. But all in all its a great game!

    Mostly excited for Aiden's dlc, overall it's not very interesting game, but i'm hopeful that it gets better. London is well done tho.

    Not nearly as bad open world London as expected. Some people act like it's worst game ever made or something. It's actually pretty okay. This user score makes absolutely no sense.

Игра не оправдала многих моих ожиданий, но смогла удивить экспериментом с вербовкой персонажей, это плохо сказалось на повествовании, так как не было эмоциональной привязанности к герою и в конце было некому сопереживать, антогонисты получились неплохие, но им было выделено очень маленькое количество времени. Игра затягивает тебя только по началу, а дальше всё скучнее и скучнее... Радует хоть тот факт, что вся "гриндильная" часть была сведена к минимум, что является большим плюсом у Ubisoft. Стоит ли мне говорить, что физика вождения, как всегда в играх от Ubisoft максимально топорная? Вот и я так думаю. По моему мнению эта игра не стоит даже 4-ёх тысяч рублей, что уж там говорить о 4_ёх с половиной... Вторая часть всё ещё остаётся лучшей в серии и, надеюсь, в декабре вместе с мультиплеером выйдет обновление фиксящее множество багов и недочётов. Моя итоговая оценка - 7/10.

    esse jogo apresenta algumas mecânicas interessantes, a de utilizar a aranha para entrar em lugares de forma mais discreta é uma delas, também gosto muito da ideia de que todo npc pode se tornar um recruta. A história inicial é ok e a gameplay é repetitiva.

    Literally the only thing that could be innovating is the ability to play as any character and even that is rubbish. Everyone in this world is ugly and idiotic, could not find a single character I was invested in and the whole system is just shallow RNG tricks.
    The worst and most unforgivable thing about the game is its creator stubbornness in bring a 60fps mode to next gen consoles. Apparently it got ray tracing and runs in 4K, how hard would it have been to lower the resolution to 1440p and remove ray tracing for a Smooth experience. Once the new machine are out I wont buy a single game that is running a 30FPS. They dont have the CPU to blame anymore and consumers should expect better.    … Expand

Sometimes the accent will sound very real while others sound like you asked Joe from Florida to give you a British accent. 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). The last thing I have to say is that I don't know what people are talking about when they say the game keeps crashing, I haven't experienced any crashes.… Expand

    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.

    Good start but definitely started seeing a lot of repeating missions and areas even though it’s in a different location on the map. A lot of bugs and enemies popping up out of nowhere. But this game is definitely an improvement over the second one

    do they never EVER learn? Beautiful world of London, but nothing interesting to do there.

    Watch Dogs Legion is a game, that's fun for a couple of hours.

    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

    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.
