    i really wanted to like this game but i can't its full of horrible accents, terrible driving and kinda limited story if i could have got a refund i would have but apparently i played the game which is the same as opening it (who knew) this is probably the second review ive written because of how bad i found a game so if my review should say anything it's that.

    Cons: Bad graphics (old and rusty) Very dull and not motivated story line. Enemies are lacking motivation and a lot of cliches. Filled with bases which should be controlled and overtaken (bad remark and idea from AC series) Stupid AI. It’s just bad. Believe me... Bugs
    And finally, Micro transactions in a game costs 60-100$ edition!!!

    Furthermore, the UI changed and it’s awful, they removed “car-on-demand”, the uber-like app and more... They even removed the MP3 player! Now to listen to music/podcasts (which are decent to say the least), you’ve got to pause the game.

    In regards to the story, it’s dull, you don’t really do anything interesting and the tasks are extremely repetitive, you go to a certain place, you “hack” something (L1+X or triangle, depending on the hack) and wait for a bar to go to 100%. I found it extremely boring.

    Now, I personally enjoyed the map design, London was correctly recreated and the atmosphere was great. However, there were no interiors despite the DedSec HQ and the city didn’t feel alive despite of the new “play as anyone” feature — I’ll get to that later. The AI was worse than in the previous games, it’s bluntly ridiculous considering that it’s a AAA game. And the graphics were fine I guess, slightly better than the other game.

    The game is pretty buggy, but it isn’t unplayable, it delivers what they want to deliver I guess, which isn’t that good. The PS4 optimization however, is really bad, the game crashed countless times.

    The “play as anyone“ feature is not that interesting to be honest, voice acting isn’t good, only few “skills” are useful or remotely interesting, characters don’t have any backstory or anything appealing as well.

    You might think that a 4/10 is high for what I said, but the game isn’t unplayable or anything like that, you can play it but it’s not enjoyable imo, it seemed like a chore. Not worthy of the price I paid, you might like it if there’s a really good sale for it.    … Expand

    This game is just boring that is all I have to say for this game. The recruiting everyone is kind of cool, but the missions everything else. My god even if you do things in different ways it's still boring.

    A mediocre game with some nice mechanics that are more than cancelled out by the game's dialogue and characters being the most annoying I have ever come across. I can play this with the sound off for about half an hour before it becomes tedious. With the sound on I want to kick my TV in before it even gets to the main menu. I was quite thankful when it crashed on me earlier

    - Dense open world with a LOT of characters roaming its streets
    - All gadgets and weapons feel fun to use (personal fav being the cloak)
    - Story itself is at least serviceable

    What’s meh:
    - Driving is fine. Not good, but functions well enough to move around the world at a speed greater than walking
    - Currency system and customization is okay, but honestly felt lacking in options and true customization
    - Enemy’s have enough brains to pose “some” resistance, but by no means feel smart

    What’s bad:
    - Recruitable characters feel shallow, poorly acted/generated, and poorly planned. A nemesis system might have worked better, with a singular core character and lots of disposable recruits to bring in. I never felt much of an attachment to my characters, and didn’t care when I lost them as I could just get more.
    - Hacking feels worse than in previous games, with some abilities locked to certain characters. There aren’t any blackout or gang-call type abilities that would have wowed me.
    - Melee, as the majority of combat you see, isn’t very fun. It can feel frustrating or way too easy, but never a perfect balance. I just ended up dodge-punching everything for as long as I could.
    - Optimization, even on PS4 isn’t great. Long load times and a few crashes have soured my experience during my play through.
    - Little to do; Liberating the map as quickly as possible might make the game much less fun for you. Doing so clears much of the Albion presence, reducing the amount of conflict you are in. Doing so is also pretty easy, taking only a few objectives per district in order to reach Defiant status.

    All in all, I wasn’t particularly thrilled by my experience with Legion. It clearly wanted to do something ambitious with its “play anyone” mechanics. However, I believe that it should have either a.) had a single, well-written protagonist with a cast of characters to match, and then put in some sort of nemesis system, or b.) had a customizable first character to function as leader to the others. Slightly below the standard set by Ubisoft in previous titles, and well below what is expected from AAA games.    … Expand

    I was hopeful for the game, but I shouldn't have been. The game itself is basic with the hacking game play, there was no change or improvements. The game over all lack substances just like WD2, their are so many missed opportunity for the game to have grown and improved on but they stayed with the bear minimum. Its sad really because it gives me no hope for the future releases.

    Crashes and a boring, lifeless, soul crushing city make up this newest entry into the Watch Dogs franchise, and unfortunately, not be design. If you can make it far enough past the crashes to delve into London itself you will find a lifeless city full of people, that according to the subtitles are talking but can't be heard.

    fine gameplay and graphics but the story and characterization is the worst part.
    full of repetitive missions and dialogues, it's not even a good open world game.
    littreally there is nothing to explore in the world of the game and nothing to enjoy.

    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.

    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

    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.
