    Only real thing this game misses is one central main character. NPC recruitment is cool idea, but there should still be one main character, npc recruitment should be bonus things you could do.
    Even tho this issue might be fixed with upcoming dlc character, specially Aiden from first game.

    After few days now, game still crashes very often and some annoying bugs here and there. I hope they fix this soon. Idea was good, but still, do you really need to recruit specific character(like construction worker), can you just steal clothes? I think that first Watch Dogs is still best of these three. This comes second, because WD2 was so bad.

    I feel likes tons haters were hoping that watch dogs legion fails and just mass downvoted it, but it didn't fail, in fact, it's doing just fine. Tons of people on youtube are enjoying it, ign review got over 15 000 likes. And metascore 76 for pc and 77 for xbox one are very solid. Not every game is 9 or needs to be 9.

If you didn't like watch dogs 1, there's absolutely no way you're going to like this one, unless recruiting npc's is something that wins you over.

    First time ever actual London in all it's HD glory is in video games. GTA London could have been any city, but this one actually feels like London. There's some stuff i like, there's some stuff i don't like. Positives first, graphics are amazing, npc recruitment is fun enough, many secret areas underground to explore, flying on drones can be fun, hacking is great as usual.

    PC version needs some serious patches that makes fps better. Consoles versions will obviously run better on Xbox Series X or PS5, but PS4 Pro runs it fine as well. Overall very unique concept, recruit any npc, make army of them, free London. London looks beautiful btw.

    Was looking forward to this game but am sadly disappointed. Liked the first two alot more, this feels really shallow and buggy (game crashes quite often)

    It's fun in small doses but would not recommend.

    What a cool game. This one at least tries to be something, unlike Marvel's Avengers.
    Could use tons of improvements, but it already feels way more interesting than WD2.
    There's many secret areas (underground usually) that you can explore and you can just fly on drones, hack everything, scan npc's, recruit them etc.

    There's two things that makes this open world stand out from others, ability to recruit and play as ANY npc in the game and RTX reflection in true open world game. There's some other unique stuff too like flying on drones, instead of usual planes or helicopters. Performance could be better, otherwise it's nice.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I came into this not knowing what to expect, given the vast differences between the first and second games, and with them adding the 'recruit anyone' into the mix, it was at least guaranteed to be a novel experience.

    But.. the novelty quickly wore off.

    I don't want to waste anymore time on this game than I already have (86% trophy completion), so I will simply list out the Pros and Cons - Cons first.

    Cons

    - Main campaign is basic - it is fragmented and doesn't take the time to build into any meaningful interactions with either the team or the villains, to top it all off it is super short - I'd say around 9 hours for the main campaign (including watching all cutscenes, which were not that compelling at all)
    - Writing - as mentioned above - not very compelling writing - I seemed to get the same quests over and over again when recruiting people, which made it very boring and predictable - not sure if there are more than 5 recruitment quests tbh.
    -Bugs - too many to mention - main one would be cars bugging out, people not getting into cars when rescuing them etc, a trophy - oral history - bugged for me - thats when I decided to abandon the plat
    - Graphics & Voice Overs - the characters lip syncing was horrible, graphics were pretty average, and tbh the graphics from the second game were far better imho - I get that London, especially dystopian police state london is meant to be a lot more dreary than SF, but the attention to detail was just not where it needs to be for a AAA.
    - map size - while this was decent, it was annoying being told I was leaving london and being teleported back to the middle of some random street when trying to fly a cargo drone to an objective, seriously - this is the same company that made AC odyssey, couldve at least given us a map that went past the outskirts.
    - sound effects - the car sounds are horrible - and too quiet - this is the same company that made the crew and the crew 2, both with decent sounding cars - i don't see why assets can't be shared in this instance.
    - some of the characters have the MOST annoying accents, made it intolerable to listen to them.

    Final one - it is just a boring, repetitive game - it could've been so much more with a compelling story, greater interior interactivity, more depth to hacking, but it feels like they've created 100 different professions and then just assigned random stats to them - most of which are recycled across multiple professions - eg an electrical engineer will have a wrench as a melee weapon, so will a construction worker.

    So yeah - just super disappointed with this game. I don't recommend buying it until it is heavily on sale.

    Pros
    - Cool premise
    - london sights

    When on the last fight of a bareknuckle fight, I’ve had the AI go down and the crowd continues to yell. Meanwhile, I can walk around the ring and the game will not move on. I’ve had to reset the game to get it going again.

    The driving is bad. Randomly, the car slips to the side. Or skips ahead. Or rewinds and I’m several yards backwards.

    When the game is finished, I may review it again. But for now, don’t bother with this. Even if you are bored and looking for something new, try a different game instead.    … Expand

    WD 1 is clearly better in a sense that having one main character (even if you can recruit npc's) make you care so much more about the game, that's just harsh truth. But recruiting npc's is fun despite that. Thankfully they bring back Aiden in dlc, so in a way, Legion's main character could also be Aiden, just like first game.

    Cons: Story is hit or miss, You can't enter many buildings, could use some serious performance patches.

    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.
