Like are you actually serious and think nobody understands that you are THE actual fake account? Just reading most of these zero reviews all there is just bunch of lies from people who haven't even tried this game and just wanna downvote every new game because they have nothing to do with their sad lives. Most of them are like "ubisoft sucks, tons of bugs blah blah blah 0 /10". Thank god on steam you actually need to have game to post reviews. On this site, anyone can just make account and say "this or that game sucks" and give zero score. BUT when people ACTUALLY like something, then it must be fake reviews. Because apparently in 2020 you can't like anything. Just lol. No about the game, i absolutely love it. It's nothing incredible, gta v is miles better, but i wasn't expecting that either. I was expecting hacking game and i got it. London was already nice location in Assassin's Creed Syndicate and it works here as well.… Expand

    More of this and less of whatever watch dogs 2 was supposed to be. This one is already huge improvement, can't wait what they do with watch dogs 4. Please another European city. Anything but USA at this point. Usa has been done so many time in different games, there's other places too. Even Australia would be better choice than USA.

    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.

    Pros : London looks beautiful, flying on drones is fun (different from usual planes in open world games), NPC recruitment, hacking mechanics are fun, You can explore all kinds of underground places with your spiderbot.
    Cons: Story is hit or miss, You can't enter many buildings, could use some serious performance patches.

    I’m having an absolute blast with this game! Funnily enough, I actually agree with what most of the more critical reviews have said – the gameplay does get a bit repetitive, the facial animations aren’t perfect, and for fans of Watch Dogs 2 there were small changes (like getting rid of the phone/create a playlist) that may disappoint. But these issues just haven’t bothered me at all.I’m having an absolute blast with this game! Funnily enough, I actually agree with what most of the more critical reviews have said – the gameplay does get a bit repetitive, the facial animations aren’t perfect, and for fans of Watch Dogs 2 there were small changes (like getting rid of the phone/create a playlist) that may disappoint. But these issues just haven’t bothered me at all. Mostly, I’ve been very impressed with the systems at play here and have just generally been having a great time in this world.

    First off, I think they did such a great job with the world. This near-future London is gorgeous, and perhaps more importantly it is absolutely packed with detail. As much as I loved the sunny aesthetic of the Bay Area in WD2, walking around the cities sometimes felt quite empty. Here, the streets are covered with graffiti and litter and people milling about. I’ve already spent a lot of time just walking around London scanning people.

    Which brings me to my next point – how well they pulled off play as anyone. They’ve done a bang-up job of making every person feel just a little bit unique. Sometimes it’s the quirky backstory they are procedurally generated, but oftentimes it’s also the way that animations for running, voice, and clothing are stacked together to create an individualized character. Obviously, there are archetypes, but I haven’t found any two people who share the same voice, face, and job. I also haven’t experienced any of the issues I’ve heard from other people about strangely mis-matched voices to bodies.

    This has all made me really enjoy just strolling around scanning everyone. But, when you do add players to your team of operatives, there is also enough variety in gameplay to keep it fresh. The missions themselves are mostly rinse and repeats where you are infiltrating a building to rescue someone or steal something. But the ability to go in as a totally different operative – one who may be a stealth expert with a silenced pistol, or one who belches randomly and can pound a beer in a pinch – makes your approach to each mission interesting enough (in my opinion).

    Simply trying to figure out how the game’s “census system” works has kept me interested in tracking people’s movements. While parts of this game feel outdated, this system truly feels next-gen. I’ll be walking down the street and rescue someone being harassed by military personnel, only to find out that they were the personal trainer to someone I had previously scanned for recruitment who now likes me more and may be willing to join our cause. Alternatively, I accidentally ran over someone while fleeing the authorities and later I scanned someone on the street who happened to be their husband and was on his way to mourn at her gravesite. These kind of flourishes that dynamically change how the world responds to the way I move through it feel so refreshing.

    Other small improvements have been made from WD2, like the driving is a little tighter, but for the most part the gameplay feels very similar to its predecessor. They did add a lot of variety in clothing which I really appreciate – and the way they bundled shops together to copy real-world shopping centers like Kensington Road or Camden High Street is excellent.

    The story is broadly quite generic, with an authoritarian military force having taken over the streets of London. Some of the individual villains are more interesting than those in past outings (the main antagonist was definitely a weak point of WD2 for me), and I was impressed with some of the non-story world building. Not being able to listen to audio logs outside of menus is annoying as hell. But, the in-car podcasts and other environmental cues do a surprisingly decent job of being unabashedly anti-fascist (for a company that has had its fair share of problems). Without saying much more, there are also some missions where the story starts to go places, I was really excited about their ambition, but unfortunately these seem (so far) to be a minority of the main story missions.

    Overall, while I understand much of the criticism, I am still having a blast with Watch Dogs: Legion. I love open world third-person action games, and with all of the Witcher wannabes recently it’s been a little while since I messed about in a city-sandbox like this. It isn’t perfect, but it has enough that feels interesting and ambitious for me to recommend this game!    … 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.
