    This game is so boring I made a metacritic account just for that ! in 20 years of gaming i never saw a game so close to be good and beeing so bad !

    FIRST : The Ia is SO dumb and nothing is made to improve it the stealth is so stupid i play in the hardest difficulty (ironman) - permadeath and i never lost any character ?

    - The turets and the drones are basicaly useless

    - The car driving is like driving bricks even with the "option to configure it"

    - No counterpart using a spider or a drone to finish 99% of the game

    - Teleporting everywhere made it so unimersive the metro system is useless

    - No real interest to play the 9 millions possiblity sold by the gamedevs just buy a drone and that's basicaly the only usefull skill

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Some ideas to make it better in case a game dev lose him self

    - DIsable teleporting in hard mode
    - Make all the city os drones scan the sector when a crime is comited by the player
    - Make some character can't use some or some tech because they're using others ( like some have no right to take a car or metro or use drone if they have the spider ( not to an rpg but at lease make some builds )
    - Give energy to drones / spider to make it more a fight against the timer
    - Give a timer to a building camera intrusion forcing the player who want to play this game style at least change character
    - make road barage turets agro from more far ( in general )
    - Give the ability to some security drone to scan if the disguised character is allowed to be here
    - Make invisibility only working when you don't move
    - Make the camera disable after a failed intrusion
    - Make the player be able to keep an uniform for all the dead sec char if you want ( everytime you switch character you see your dead sec members with stupid fluo clothes in the game )
    - Make characters permanently reasearched whats the point having XXXXX possiblity to many identity if they're never reasearched if they fail a mission OMG Ubisoft you have money now do nice games

    *- I hope someday a law will be created to not allow a studio/publisher de release more than one game in 5 years if they have more than 1Millions sold copy !

    AND I really hope the source code who have been stolen will be used to make mods for players who buyed it ! because actually your work is **** ! PS godamn stop the stupid activitys like jungling with football ... for god sake fifa is made for this do what you said before going on stupid and useless activity's like this

    FROM A REALLY ANGRY PLAYER ! because this game has bees sold for more ambition than what it's actually is.    … Expand

    In 41 years of being a gamer, I have never played a game that is this painfully boring. At least with the awful games I have played, I was busy laughing at how bad the games were.

At least with the awful games I have played, I was busy laughing at how bad the games were. There was not a single second in this boring pile of garbage where I was entertained. The missions are extremely boring and repetitive and nothing feels rewarding. The gameplay is garbage.

    The physics are laughable. The driving mechanics are pathetic, the vehicles don't even have any physics. The car customization is poor and limited. All you can change is few colors and skins. I can't even change the wheels. The graphics has those same atrocious lighting effects every Ubisoft game has, everything looks like it's covered in cake frosting. The story is trash and the voice acting is lazy. There is nothing to do in the open world. All you can do is drive around and play stupid darts. There are too many bugs and glitches.

    The developers rushed the game, because the multiplayer isn't even available yet in this unpolished poor excuse of a game. The past Watch Dogs games had invasion at launch and the developers were too cheap and lazy to give it out at launch this time. The developers heavily advertised the "you can play as anyone" thing, which is nothing more than a gimmick that gets old fast. How about they spend time actually making a high quality game, instead of coming up with gimmicks. I don't recommend this trash game at all.    … Expand

    I always purchase ubisoft games with really low expectations and when it goes on sale, but this game managed to be worse than what I expected.

The missions are ALL the same, at least until 5 hrs of play, go to building, navigate through cameras, sneak yourself till you press a button. Zero use of creativity, always the same.
    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

    Watchdogs 2 was a big improvement from the first. However, Legion was a big step back.

    Я думал, что после провала Breakpoint Юбисофт уберут одну из главных проблем своих игр - донатный магазин. Но нет. Покупай валюту, оперативников, бустеры. И это при вышедшем Ghost of Tsushima, где весь контент выбивается, вы не поверите, только играя в игру без какого-либо доната и обесценивания достижений игрока. Или другой пример Genshin Impact. Я в неё вообще могу бесплатно играть. ИЯ думал, что после провала Breakpoint Юбисофт уберут одну из главных проблем своих игр - донатный магазин. Но нет. Покупай валюту, оперативников, бустеры.

    Stupid A.I, Repetitive missions, Cant go in stores, drones do all the witnessing now. No one calls the police anymore, being a cop only means unauthorized access. No cop vs criminal gang warfare anymore, repetitive fight animations. All A.I feel the same, A.I target you despite getting hit by others.

    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

    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
    - BAGLEY BOY

    É simplesmente a pior merda que já joguei na minha vida, as missões são extremamente repetitivas, os personagens são obviamente sem carisma nenhum, o dedsec é de novo um grupo de rebeldes sem causa e não faz sentido nenhum recrutar um pedreiro que quer se aposentar, e do nada se torna um hacker de primeira e luta igual o John Wick.

    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.
