    Very interesting concept, loving the open world Ubisoft has created. The game is not perfect, but A+ for the work that went in to creating an amazingly fun world to explore.

    As it has become a tradition, Watch Dogs is attacked on social networks at its launch. But the game is very good and unfair by haters, despite the problems.

    Unlike the games in the series, this one takes place in the near future. This creates some new perspectives in gameplay. Technologies that today still seem distant from our reality, are already quite common in the open world of the game.

    I didn't like the series going into that future. I would still prefer it to be set on current days. But the game has not become a futuristic sci-fi, it leads well despite the new technologies present.

    About the gameplay, some commands have been changed compared to WD2. But it is very similar and fun as always, especially hacking. London's graphics are beautiful but the NPCs (which are controllable) are well below quality.

    The story is cliché in the extreme. Since there is no protagonist, we have little empathy with the controllable characters. They are more fun to play than they are deep in history.

    The problems aren't as big as the game's (and Ubisoft's) haters make it look on social media, but they do exist. However, this does not detract from the fun of the game at all. Like the other two titles in the series, it is a very good game but does not take advantage of all the opportunities it has to establish itself as a major franchise.

    In my preference, it is behind the first 2, but maintained a good level to wait for a really great sequence of the series. Hopefully it has a lot of DLC.
    -------------------------------
    In Brazilian Portuguse:

    Como já virou tradição, Watch Dogs é atacado nas redes sociais em seu lançamento. Mas o jogo é muito bom e injustiçado, apesar dos problemas.

    Diferentemente dos jogos da série, esse se passa num futuro próximo. Isso cria algumas novas perspectivas na gameplay. Tecnologias que hoje ainda parecem distante da nossa realidade, já são bem comuns no mundo aberto do jogo.

    Particularmente, não gostei da série ter ido para esse futuro. Ainda preferiria que fosse nos dias atuais. Mas o jogo não se tornou um sci-fi futurista, está bem pé no chão apesar das novas tecnologias presentes.

    Em questão de jogabilidade, alguns comandos foram trocados em relação ao WD2. Mas está muito parecido e divertido como sempre, especialmente hackear. Os gráficos de Londres estão lindos mas os NPC (que são controláveis) estão bem abaixo na qualidade.

    A história é clichê ao extremo. Como não há protagonista, temos pouca empatia com os personagens controláveis. Eles são mais divertidos de se jogar do que profundos na história.

    Os problemas não são tão grandes como os haters do jogo (e da Ubisoft) fazem parecer nas redes sociais, mas eles existem. Porém, isso não tira a diversão do jogo de forma alguma. Assim como os outros dois títulos da série, é um jogo muito bom mas não aproveita todas as oportunidades que tem pra se firmar como grande franquia.

    Na minha preferência, fica atrás dos 2 primeiros, mas manteve um bom nível para esperar por uma sequência realmente grande da série. Tomara que tenha muitas DLC.

    I hardly ever give a 10/10 review. I'm not a fanboy. This is a pretty cool game overall. I like the graphics and the London setting. The story isn’t bad, and the main missions are pretty good. However- There is some repetition with tasks. Basically go there- hack something, and get out. Where it really shines is the side missions- Dedsec Missions, Completing Burroughs, 404 Missions, etc.I hardly ever give a 10/10 review. I'm not a fanboy. This is a pretty cool game overall.

Where it really shines is the side missions- Dedsec Missions, Completing Burroughs, 404 Missions, etc. Some of these side missions are more challenging and interesting than the main story missions. I loved playing as the construction worker as she had the drone to ride into just about any area. I completed about 90% of the game with her. I’ve played the game twice already and loved it- and will play again in the future. I think it’s much better than some of the reviews it’s received. Give it a shot! Expand

    I don't understand this review bombing? The game is excellent. Sure, it is very similar to Watch Dogs 1 and 2. Still a great game, beautiful and super fun. No bugs encountered so far, the game is very polished on PlayStation. The game does exactly what it promised. Recommended.

    I find it really impressive. The visuals (PS4 Pro) are great, can't imagine how it will look on PS5. The story also (if you listen alone to the audio logs littered in the world) is very engaging, as long as you love science fiction.

    The interactivity of the city is something Rockstar Games probably can not shy away from any longer, especially after the upcoming Cyberpunk.

    All the London landmarks are there, and its got a london vibe about the place, lots of different accents, but not as OTT as I thought. Lots of gadgets to unlock and play with, gun play is good, much like GTA5. I didnt find it as annoying as GTA5, control of vehicles is better, able to throw about the streets without crashing all the time. The hacking via phone system is not complicated and, again, gameplay flows well. I must admit, missions where I rescued hostages or just shot my way in and out felt very SAS style.....but if you choose to use every stealth skill you have then its straight foward. Im not a great fan of being stealthy, but I really got into using a spiderbot or a stealth shield. Looking at other reviews I have seen people giving a 0 for ridiculous reasons, no english option in a Russian copy of the game or saying there is no tower bridge. Overall this is a fun game, and its great to be in London. Its also nice to be part of a resistance against a police state, rather being a gangland boss ect GTA style. Great soundtrack as well. It'll be nice to win money for stunts in bikes ect .... maybe.. but really really really, its worth a 10 as it does london really well imo. Also, I have seen or had no bugs or crashes at all. Nothing on Ps4 pro

    Positives:
    - London looks incredibly realistic, to the point that it sometimes trips you out because your brain is convinced that it's witnessing real-life footage.
    - The general atmosphere of the world is spectacular, and the general London feel is captured perfectly. If you have ever lived in London, the game will unconditionally make you feel nostalgic. Everything - down to small
    Positives:
    - London looks incredibly realistic, to the point that it sometimes trips you out because your brain is convinced that it's witnessing real-life footage.
    - The general atmosphere of the world is spectacular, and the general London feel is captured perfectly. If you have ever lived in London, the game will unconditionally make you feel nostalgic. Everything - down to small details like advertisement style - has been thought out to make you feel like you are living in the same city that, 15 years ago, was the London that we read in the news about today.
    - The recruitment mechanic is fantastic and works just like advertised. Every NPC in the game (apart from a dozen story-specific characters) is recruitable, and actually feels like a distinct individual with their own set of strengths and weaknesses, personality, and a complex life behind them. Every NPC has a detailed biography and everyday schedule, and which NPC you recruit has noticeable effects on the gameplay: the same mission can be an exercise in stealth, a full-blown firefight, a sniper-like quest, or even a drone war depending on which character you decide to complete it with. This, in conjunction with the game's general sandbox mechanic which makes the open world malleable and dynamic, provides numerous opportunities for you to express your creativity and play the game like you want to play it.
    - Some of the chapters (notably the Skye Larsen and Dedsec chapters) were captivating and featured genuinely thrilling storytelling.
    Negatives:
    - The character models, as well as their movement, animations, facial expressions, and lip-syncing are seriously outdated. It can be pretty weird seeing these comically poor characters interact with such an advanced and almost photorealistic environment.
    - The voice acting is some of the worst that I have ever seen. For some characters, I feel like a random person on the street would've done a better job. Besides, the accents of the characters match neither the characters' personalities nor, even more noticeably, the general London population. For some reason, Ubisoft seem that London is inhabited almost exclusively by native Patwah or Polish speakers, which is obviously wildly inaccurate; on the other hand, the massively popular MLE dialect is barely featured at all. As a consequence of all of these factors, immersion - and with it the otherwise wonderfully executed illusion of being in futuristic London - takes a massive hit.
    - The AI is bad. Albion staff won't shoot at you even after you have literally almost killed them; they won't spot you even if you are in their plain sight; and the less said about vehicle AI - which would be underwhelming even in year 2000 - the better.
    - Melee combat is very primitive, although most other combat mechanics are pretty good.
    - Other than a few thrilling moments, the general storyline is basic, and almost all missions follow the exact same format: break into building - kill a few guards - retrieve artefact - possibly survive ambush - escape to safety. The game starts to feel repetitive after a few such missions - especially given that completing a mission is a prerequisite for every new recruitment, which is honestly a bit of a nuisance.
    - I can't help but feel that much, much more could have been made of the amazing open world that Ubisoft has built and the recruitment system available at Ubisoft's disposal. The characters could be grouped into different classes, with more powerful classes having more demanding recruitment criteria; the missions could be designed to encourage us to interact with the game-world more - for example, some missions could require us to recruit a particular type of character, say a cryptocurrency analyst, so we would be encouraged to recognise that cryptocurrency analysts usually work in the types of skyscraper found in the City, and go look for them there; hell, they could even go crazy and establish a relationship system, whereby relationship points would be gained by engaging in the appropriate activities with them (e.g. taking them to some cafe in the city or engaging in a brawl) based on their profile. Unfortunately, none of that has been done, and the best recruitment strategy as of right now is simply to find the character that you want to recruit in a place you'd expect them to be and recruit them. Only a few types of character are actually worthy of being recruited, with the rest being completely useless, and the recruitment itself is monotone and repetitive. Additionally, not much has been made of the highly interactive open world, and there is a lot of untapped potential.

    All in all, Watch Dogs Legion is definitely worth trying out, and it's a fun and immersive experience. However, it's certainly got its flaws, and it could have easily been a masterpiece instead of the merely "pretty good" game that it is.

    Overall, he is how I would summarise it:
    Graphics: 9/10
    Story: 7/10
    Gameplay mechanics: 8/10
    Polish: 4/10

    The game has a liberty and a complex and deepen world vision and story, it talks about real-now problems as lack of jobs, etc. it is not a game just for shoot. You can solve any scenario at your game style; shooting, melee, tech, bribery, etc. It’s amazing how they have built a deep and great game.

Dura como unas 40h la historia depende de la dificultad, el jugador, si te has centrado en misiones principales,etc. El final es magnífico no podían haber hecho nada mejor, aunque un poco triste.

I hope it happens, but I don't have a lot of faith in gamers giving it a shot. It's weird and you have to make your own fun sometimes. I am, despite it's problems, having a ton of fun messing around in Legion. Is it a 10/10 experience? For me it is, actually. I'm already 20 hours in and it's been three days. Finding new characters to recruit and then trying them out is a new kind of addiction and I'm all in for it.

    I have seen a lot of negative reveiws on this game and I understand that not everyone will share the same opinion with me but are we playing the same game!?

    Obviously its not perfect but I think it is really good, not just for an ubisoft game but a game in general.

    The gameplay is really smooth depending on what operative your are using, if you have a professional hitman, you can go up to people and execute them jhon wick style, and if you have a beekeeper you can send a swarm their way and it just feels so cool.(there are many more operatives with great abilities) while if you didnt like the gameplay of WD or wd2, you may not have as much fun as me ut I still think it could offer enough to let you have fun.(NOTICE!If you are someone who likes going up against very smart AI, the ai in this game, though quite unforgiving if caught, can be very dumb)

    i'm not sure about PC or Xbox but the game seems very well optimized on my ps4 pro, the graphics are great, the loading times arent obnoxious like some other games that came out this year and the input is perfectly fine. Another complaint I have heard is that the story is boring and while Its no the last of us or the witcher 3, it is really solid and entertaining. (without any spoilers) the plot is basically something happens to london and dedsec that requires you to recruit the people of london and un cover the person disturbing the have to find the perpetrators and restore peace in london.

    People have also been saying that it is a very repetitive game and I just have to disagree , there are so many things to do around london and so many Ways to infiltrate each hideout whether you go in guns a blazing, stealthily, with a drone, disguised, etc. It always has new things to offer. Also, cto clear each borough of London, they have similar missions that have been re touched to feel unique each time and the final mission of each borough is unique and rewards you with an elite operator (spy, drone expert, anarchist, etc.) That has special abilities that is hard to find just on the streets. (The only thing that feels repetitiveto me is the pipe puzzles but they dont seem to be as frequent as they were in WD1 or 2)

    I HAVE BOUGHT THE GAME ON THE STANDARD EDITION ($60) and it doesnt feel like I'm missing out on anything so dont feel inclined to but the gold or ultimate edition unless you want to expand on your experience of the game.

    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.
