    The devs have done a good job at recreating London, but they've spent so much time and resources on endless dialogue and voiceovers that the gameplay and story has been overlooked. Great concept, badly executed.

    At first the game caught my attention, the concept of Watchdogs attracts me, but the lack of innovation, the lack of a main character is very lacking, it is interesting to recruit people, but in the end we will only use one character that favors us to enter everywhere and the rest will be forgotten, unfortunately a weak game, far below the previous

    Вообще Watch Dogs: Legion это квинтэссенция победившего феминизма и блм! Из моих 12и агентов DedSec десятеро это женщины, а вообще из всех 12и, так называемых "белых", всего было 4 человека. Вот такая политика. При этом те двое мужиков, которые всё таки попали в команду были доктором и каким то залоговым агентом, вообще никакими ни в бою ни, в хакерстве. Хорошо хоть обошлось без лгбт.
    Ну    Вообще Watch Dogs: Legion это квинтэссенция победившего феминизма и блм! Из моих 12и агентов DedSec десятеро это женщины, а вообще из всех 12и, так называемых "белых", всего было 4 человека. Вот такая политика. При этом те двое мужиков, которые всё таки попали в команду были доктором и каким то залоговым агентом, вообще никакими ни в бою ни, в хакерстве. Хорошо хоть обошлось без лгбт.
    Ну как я уже писал ранее про Watch Dogs 2, более менее серьёзный сюжет существует только в первой части этой франшизы. Legion, а тем более вторая часть, это сугубо про раздолбаев которые зачем то борются с системой!
    Игра структурно изо всех сил пытается построить свой открытый мир похожим на аналогичный из Marvel's Spider-Man, но у неё это плохо получается. В Spider-Man мне было интересно "пылесосить" город, в Legion нет.
    Что касается боёвки, то она мало отличается от предшественников.
    Вообще всякое задание начинается с того, что мы ищем грузовой коптер, забираемся на него и с высоты птичьего полета закидываем противников "гранатами", минами-ловушками, дронами-пауками, а так же управляем пролетающими мимо коптерами с пушками и т. д. Почему то, в отличие от предыдущих игр, в Legion я очень редко пользовался камерами.
    Да, игра довольно однообразна.
    Визуально она так же звёзд с неба не хватает, но претензий особых нет.
    Кстати, теперь протагонистов в игре много, можно играть за кого угодно, все со своими оружием и эффектами. Поэтому в игре практически невозможно умереть, погибают агенты ровно на 1 час, а пока они недоступны, можно играть за следующего. Мне это не очень понравилось, но всё равно герои лучше чем дебил Маркус из второй части. Единственная необходимость, это что бы в конце осталось хотя бы два "живых" агента, иначе просто не закончить сюжет.
    И так резюмирую. Честно говоря не знаю кому посоветовать эту игру. Поклонники предыдущих частей и так купят, а другие игроки могут найти подобные игры в более качественном исполнении. Вообще Ubisoft надо что то менять в подходе к своим играм, а то все серии и Far Cry, и Watch Dogs, и Assassin’s Creed превращаются в хреновый Ghost Recon Wildlands.    … Expand

The characters were fun, the story was good and relatable (distrust of big tech), setting was great, missions were fun (epically stealth) and the AI was HILARIOUS.

The game is just beautiful I bet it looks even better on PS5 but it runs good on the PS4, the shooting feels great hitting the headshots are great to pull off and or just going in with your shotgun and then see the physics as they drop to the floor. The cars are also awesome too not only do you actually get to auto drive cars but a very special car that belongs to a Spy which you should get is basically a Bond car because it can shoot rockets it’s amazing. Overall Watch Dogs Legion is the best game in the franchise from its massive open world to its endless amount of playable characters I can highly recommend this game it’s so much fun from beginning to end.

The same mechanics, with voice acting so bad you start wondering if it classifies as racism and biggotry against UK accents, and the whole idea of the "legion" gameplay... IT'S JUST BAD. You have NO proper player, NO proper storytelling, NO clear paths for the story to develop and obviously NO character development. The whole single player is a joke. It really is. I mean, it is just boring and you are not at all invested in playing. Why? Who cares. Your character is a transparent 'thing". It really is just a thing. You will play a bunch and realise, why am I doing this. There is no real interest behind my characters. Why are they? Who are they? Who cares if they live or die? Why do they talk as if this is an SNL skit with brits? Drop this game altogether. Don't bother. The only way to play it is by paying a ton of money to "unlock" as playable characters the old ones (i.e. Aiden) and then try to play it with recognisable characters. You will pay a lot. To make this game borderline playable. Just play the two previous games again. Trust me on this one.… Expand

    I loved Watch Dogs 2 and had high hopes for Legion. With Legion they proposed a very interesting game concept that they utterly destroyed through the absolutely worst implementation of it.

    The entire point of Watch Dog Legion is players can recruit and play any character, yet the developers lack of foresight and poor implementation destroys that concept, and it could have been easily fixed with one simple change...

    Simply making 80% of the NPCs have FOUR traits that were COMPLETELY RANDOM. Along with that, a chance for a random vehicle or weapon and then a very small percentage chance of getting some premium traits. That's all, NPCs that have disguises or class specific item like a construction drone, would keep those BUT then also have two or three random traits from the ENTIRE POOL OF TRAITS.

    _

    The developers choice in this poor implementation renders the entire concept next to useless, it gives players absolutely no reason or desire to recruit and play any of the other characters. You're better off using any premiums you may have, or sticking with the first one you get with decent traits.

    The trait options giving to players to recruits are, faction NPCs like medics or construction workers all having the SAME TRAITS, or common NPCs mostly having ONE maybe two USELESS TRAITS, like a motorcycle and a wrench, or buys clothes better... ok that's a team perk... but why would you ever want to PLAY that character in the field over someone that can sneak or deal more damage or take less damage, along with having another trait or two.

    Yes, give recruits the buy clothes cheaper trait BUT also add another two traits to make them desirable as a playable operative... the current implementation simply doesn't make sense.

    A further slap in the face, is they'll have characters with one useless traits like a stun gun and then a negative trait like farts loudly, can't run, or dies randomly... and while negative traits may have been fun if each character had four traits so they were three other good ones to make it challenging, it's currently just ridiculous.

    A further problem is for a game that Topps playing every character there's very little customization... they completely fail by making everyone very similar... all of the clothing options are cookie cutter. There's no flip-flops or sandals (or any open toe shoes), no jean shorts, or swimwear, short shorts, or regular short variety like khakis, no yoga pants or stockings... but there's a ridiculous amount of business clothes... like that's what hackers wear.

    There's just very little variety, every store has the same few items in different colors, it's like the developers have never seen clothes in their life before... they could have simply gone online and looked up different styles of clothing.

    Even the mask are limited which is a big part of the game. Again they have to slap players in the face by adding some interesting masks like fox and wolf... but they're only available for specific characters with the terrible traits... and you're not allowed to put on the mask anytime only in a dangerous situation, like pulling out your gun so now you're guaranteed to be attacked because you simply want to wear your mask. completely awful implementation.

    The last thing I'll note is they also didn't make a very compelling story. I understand they had an 'anyone can be the hero' setup, but what they could have done was similar to Watch Dogs 2 have your chosen NPC interacting and perhaps even doing missions with a few predefined Dedsec operatives, like the games team to start with and just do them all away. they could have added multiple bases around the world with different operatives there that you could talk with and interact and push the story forward and make it feel more immersive than these nameless NPCs repeating the same tired lines... gassed! and banging! it's excruciating.

    _

    In closing, the game seems like such a failed attempt at something that should have been extremely good, all they needed to do was randomized the traits for recruits and give each recruit option a bunch of them, it would have given players the opportunity to search for their perfect matching set of traits daylight. watchdog Legion is completely down the toilet but perhaps they'll learn if there's a fourth.    … Expand

    The differences between this games are soo many
    Watch Dogs 2 characters are so colorful, interesting, and they have clear ideas and intentions on what they want do to next. In Legion, you don't have a main character and all of them are soo lifeless, they don't know what they do, everything they do is soo mechanical and boring.
    The story in Legion is soo boring, long and without logic, instead Watch Dogs 2 story was soo fun, and interesting, every Main and side mission was a pleasure to the eye. I was soo hyped and very happy by every mission the game give to me.
    Soo many events could have been between the events from the second and the third game.

Phone menu and apps, gone. 3D printing your arsenal, gone. I don't want to list everything, so there you have a few.

    Online is a buggy mess and the player base is so few that you often reencounter familiar strangers. Most of the hardcore players have stopped playing and the Online player base is now just mostly made up of newcomers. Matchmaking is a pain, where you have to wait for other players to complete up to the same mission you're on, and unless you've reset your mission progress to the beginning, it's now very rare you'll be matched.

    I did enjoy some of the 'you can play as anyone' system but it could do with a major boost in quality. Bloodline was good and probably the only good I got from the game. I had a 1-2 year hiatus from Ubisoft games, and they published almost Cyberpunk 2077 tier of buggy games but don't quite fix them like that game. I don't think I'm going to recover from this Buggysoft experience anytime soon.    … Expand

    I enjoyed Watch Dogs, really enjoyed Watch Dogs 2, and the first 5-10 hours of this were, again, not bad at all. After that however it got a bit meh and became a chore to finish it.

    The story and characters were more than a bit cringe, the gameplay felt too repetitive too quick, and after an enjoyable first few hours it just tuned into a "fast travel here, meet your contact, then fast travel there, carry out same one of 6 or 7 tasks, fast travel back to contact to finish" etc etc ad nauseam.

    And the load times were so long I ended up just doing stuff on my own phone while waiting.

    Looked pretty enough, game crashed probably 8-10 times but that's not horrifically bad over 30-40 hrs on hardest settng while making sure I completed all missions.

    Second-hand prices I got this for are pretty cheap, but for $70 or whatever on release day I'd have felt a bit grumpy.

    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.
