    Ubisoft needs to just stop making games. Valhalla had a trash story. Watch Dogs Legion had a trash story. Don't be surprised if Far Cry has a trash story.

    Look at how many games they had in development at the same time.

    It doesn't even matter because they will still make their money either way. No point even talking about it.

You can literally kill 10 people and you’ll only get one wanted level and they’ll forget about you if you drive to the next block. Honestly, I think I’m done with Ubisoft. They have become lazy and incompetent. I honestly hope they go bankrupt and another company that’s actually good buys their ip’s.… Expand

    Drones - Drones have increased use in this game compared to watchdogs 2, Cargo drone is by far one of the best, hijacking one and using it in missions can be fun. Permadeath mode - is a welcome challenge for anyone for more hardcore gamers, resulting in your operatives dying and losing them forever, combined with hard mode alcan make this game a challenge. Adverts - in this game radio adverts can be heard in some locations, for example there is an ad that features the tag line "see it, say it, sorted" which is Very accurate as in the UK there are government adverts at trains rations pushing this exact phrase, blew my mind the first time I heard it. Story - It's ok Poor Voice acting - all characters sound so beyond fake and lifeless paired with their overtop the top London accents
    Poor framerate--whilst playing this game I've noticed a lot of stutters with overall low responsiveness. Lack of a sense of progression - no skill tree, replaced with tech upgrades with are found densely populated over the map, so no real challenge, all real abilities which would normally be on a skill tree and locked to certain characters which you either have to get lucky with RNG.
    Characters abilities - some are quite pathetic in the trailers we see a "bee keeper" who can summon robotic drones apon his foes, in game this does barely any damage and makes you wonder why you spent any time unlocking him. Combat - Generic, some characters have their won moveset but it gets repetive very quickly. Map - quite small that personally felt quite empty, not many cars on the road, if they're was cars they had no passengers and were just semi autonomous cars, you cannot enter any shops, the underground is just a few steps down from ground level blocking you off from seeing anything with ticket machines. Cars - very few cars, the one big truck I wanted to drive, you can't, it's autonomous

    Honestly this game could be alright but everything else just makes it seem like a rushed copy and paste basic game. This game was so unenjoyable for me I had to sell it in the first week
    My personal experience places this game to be the worst of all 3 watchdogs games with watch dogs 2 being the best. I honestly can't recommend this game to anyone, the only people I could possible recommend this to is a child who wanted GTA but isn't allowed GTA or someone who just wants to look at London (even though you can do that on Google maps for free).    … Expand

    I can't express how bad is this game, from catastrophic plot, across the most rigid driving model I've ever seen, to embarrassing voice acting. I love other Ubisoft games but this is my last Watch Dogs.

    There is nothing more to the gameplay than to sneak, kill - repeat 1000x times or just go all out.
    The story is not interesting. Basically this game could be just a sneaky kill simulator for 20$ in the store.

    The idea of controlling many characters and not sticking to one or a few main characters that are with throughout the whole game is a mood killer. I did not feel attached to any character - I didn't care about any of them, and that translates into me not caring about the game itself.

    Support for haptic feedback while shooting is a plus, and recreating London ingame is cool too. But I think the developers mainly focused on just making a game that says "wow look we have made London and you can make a cool army of hackers". In reality this is really boring    … Expand

    Five hours of fun in a Sixty dollar package. Permadeath is a fun idea, but you will find yourself rarely in danger, especially later in the game. The missions feel the same. Stability is a big problem. All around another modern Ubisoft game.

    Watch_Dogs: Legion is an emotionless copy and paste of it's predecessors.

    Enter the world of Ubisoft where your main character is nothing but a vessel for you to control, you could change the character to a duffle bag and I wouldn't notice anything different. Ubisoft's characters have no substance or (ironically) character, and their stories and worlds are a mishmash of over the top representation of how the world sees the far-left, and how the far-left sees the world.

    Their script team must have bullet points which consist of:
    - Government bad
    - Anti-Establishment hip
    - British people love the word shag

    I've never attempted to speed run a game as badly as I did with this one. I must have gotten into about 7-9 hours of the game (most of it playing the keepy-up football mini game) and I had to google the mission list, and when I saw that I was near the start I lost all interest in the characters and the story and decided to just gun for it.

    Let's talk about the characters, play who you want sounded like such a potential quirk in a video game, but alas it doesn't matter as they have no defining features, even their special traits are lacklustre and bear no usefulness once you unlock a verity of standard abilities which all of your characters will posses. In the end I think I stuck to one character, and the rest were just there for convenience whenever my chosen character would die and then I would be forced to pick someone else.

    Now the story... Literally YouTube watch it, I'm sure there is someone out there who actually cared about it, but the dialogue and voice acting was too bad for me to handle another second of cinematic cut scenes... The only time in video game history I'm thankful for a skip button.

    The missions are mind numbingly repetitive... Drive to destination, break into destination, hack terminal, escape.

    I'm not sure what made me think that this franchise would be revived after the borefest that was Wath_Dogs 2, but it felt basically the same but with a different setting. The first game wasn't amazing but the story had emotion and the main character had background, so you felt sort of invested at the start... This is basically you start the game, you die at the start, your organisation gets rebuilt... Oh and there's a witty AI that basically comes off as an Aldi version of JARVIS.

    I've clocked 21 hours on this game according to my PS5, but I reckon 6 hours of them 21 were spent on pause whilst I got distracted by YouTube , or doing something else... but I put in those hours just so I could complete it and give my honest opinion.

    I couldn't recommend this game without feeling some part of my soul being obtained by the devil himself. You may have a few hours of fun doing the same thing over and over again, but I'd highly recommend you save your hard earned money and buy something else.

    TL;DR:

    Watch_Dogs: Legion is a repetitive borefest, that is a carbon copy of it's predecessor. Don't waste your money, or at least wait for it to be on sale for £15-20, which won't be too long.    … Expand

    Enjoyed the game in first 8 hours. Later on, Legion shows how this game was lazy developed, story, mission designs is repetitive. I just so angry at the end of game. Love the first watch dogs game's story, this one made me totally disappointed .Sorry if this is resentful to you(Ubisoft), i like AC Valhalla but this **** is completely trash.
    I recommend only get this game once it is 80% off.

    On ps5 the frameset isnt even a solid 30fps and the game is stuttering in my oled. The bad performance spoils the fun...

    There are very many character selection choices. WHen you first start the game they give you about 10 characters you get to choose from. IF you still want a diffrent character, you can recruit anybody from the streets and they can be your own playable character now. This game gives many oppurtunities for the player.

    I don't know how it is on the PS5, but it's the WORST on the PS4. Yeah yeah yeah it is the base PS4 what do I expect, but IT IS ON 15 FPS and they keep delaying the online mode. Gave it a 3 because I kinda had a good 5 hours on the game, but 15 fps is not enjoyable nor acceptable.

    This game is such a disappointment. It's starts off like some sort of James Bond 3rd person crime game, only to fall apart very quickly to reveal itself as a shallow open world game, with no characters to care about and poor story. Plus, this is a really bad "Next Gen" port. Jumping between this and Valhalla really shows where the effort was made

    Riddled with annoying bugs that wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t constantly kill my character who I then don’t have access to for an hour until he “heals”. Meanwhile, you’re stuck playing as some stupid operative you don’t like until yours is available again, all because the game is constantly glitching. They clearly weren’t ready to make a next gen game and it shows.

It's average at best.

    Let's start with the good: Well, the graphics are good, as expected nowadays for a game with this budget. The novel twist of being able to recruit anyone is interesting. The London map is physically well put together, although some residential and park areas would have been welcome, as would things like Wembley stadium. It's more the centre of London rather than London. Erm, that's about it for the good.

    Now, onto the bad: The idea of being able to hire different characters to your cause, all with their own unique skills, sounds great. But their 'skills' just aren't that different or that interesting. It's essentially just another way of selecting a basic weapon. Also, you'll end up playing the whole game with the construction worker. This is really the biggest issue the game faces...the construction worker has access to a cargo drone. This breaks the game. It means you can hop on and fly around literally anywhere you want, skipping all the obstacle-course like setups to access collectibles and door-keys etc. Additionally, whilst there are various gadgets you can select, all you need is the spider-bot, which is as equally game-breaking as the cargo drone. It does everything, so you don't have to. It can crawl through the hundreds of vents in the game, and access areas, and even complete objectives, all without you needing to physically be there. I completed the whole game using only this one gadget. They should have forced you to utilise a wide range of gadgets to overcome different challenges, but they don't. And this brings me onto my next gripe...every single mission is the same. Go here. Fly on cargo drone. Send spider bot through vents. Hack something. Rinse and repeat forever. The missions are boring and unimaginative and there is little variety. The very first Watchdogs game has you hacking an entire baseball stadium's lights in the first 5 minutes. This was amazing. Nothing like that here.

    If you do ever get caught out, easy...just shoot everyone. The game encourages mass-murder, even though you are supposed to be the good guys. No police come. No-one cares. Just kill everyone and you're set. Speaking of police, it's difficult to get a 5-star chase going even if you try. You can kill everyone in the street and the police don't care. If you are ever chased by them, just drive 100 metres around the corner, and they lose you. In a supposedly futuristic, dystopian world where big brother is always watching you, they literally can't see around the bloody corner.

    This game could have been brilliant. They should never have included the cargo drone, or at least made it a late game unlock, and the spider drone should have only a limited use. Each level should have been like a hitman mission, where you have to stealthily hack and sneak your way to your mission, using genuinely different skills according to your operative. It feels like they just spent ages making a nice map, and then said wouldn't it be great if you could fly? What if you could be invisible? Or shoot paint? The different ideas don't gel together to make a cohesive game.

    Speaking of the map, yes it looks nice, but after a couple of hours, you've seen it all. It doesn't feel alive like the world of GTA, and you will end up fast travelling everywhere soon enough. I would have liked some bigger missions that span different areas of the map and cause visible changes to the world, but there is nothing like that, except briefly at the end of the game, for about 5 minutes.

    There's a lot more I could say about this game, but most of it will be negative. It's such a shame because the ingredients are there for something truly unique and great. But the execution, poor mission design, lifeless world, repetitive objectives and 2 game-braking gadgets, as well as no real progression tree that matters, lets everything down. I have always loved Watchdogs as a concept and think it's been overshadowed by GTA. But Ubisoft should learn from Rockstar. It doesn't even have weather cycles. If they wanted to represent London...make it bloody rain! It rains 9 months a year here. I'm British, I should know.

    Finally, the music...the radio stations all play some weird heavy metal/rock crap. This is London. There should have been a lot more UK hip-hip, grime, garage, and drill music. This is big here. They know this because Stormzy makes a guest appearance in the game, Yet his own genre of music is almost non-existent in the game.

    There are no helicopters, planes, cats, dogs or birds in the sky. No clubbers out at night. No random events happening. Just NPC's. And, as per usual Ubisoft fashion, a bunch of boring collectibles littering the map. The platinum trophy will put you to sleep. As will the game itself.

    Almost great, but nearer to trash, in the end. Ubisoft...please change how you make games.    … Expand

    Story is yet again falling under the Ubisoft formula (cool prologue - 5 big bad guys- climax- final boss- credit.

I miss the days when games were simply insert disk and play, or download and play. Hate having to sign up to useless trash when i want to just play a game.… Expand

    Man there was so much potential with the gameplay yet it just falls short. And the story is very boring.

    Don't buy this ****

    Best way to describe this game is soulless. I loved WD1 and WD2 and loved the characters/story they set up while the open-world was still interesting to explore. The gameplay is actually decently fun with a good amount of hacks and the gunplay isn't bad the different characters you play as add a diverse skillset. But the story is horrendous and extremely repititives    Don't buy this ****

The performance was just okay. Quite a few frame drops..    … Expand

    While its dystopian, futuristic London may smell of Grand Theft Auto open worlds, Watch Dogs Legion's approach to recruiting any NPC differentiates the formula in a unique way, creating a fascinating blend of freedom, action, stealth, and roguelikes.

    What you end up with is an experience that shows a ton of promise, but ends up being entirely average. It’s hard to call Watch Dogs Legion a bad game outright. It’s a serviceable, if traditional, open-world game with a boring story and novelty mechanics that play out better on paper than in execution. The PS5 version makes expected improvements to visuals and load times, but isn’t a standout example of a “next-gen” title.

    Watch Dogs: Legion is a far more palatable experience on PS5 thanks to its vastly-improved load times and splendid visual upgrades. The only real technical gripes are that there’s little in the way of DualSense implementation, and the framerate, while steady, hasn’t been upped. Its base problems of open-world fatigue and messy storytelling are still problems that can’t be so easily fixed and still remain a significant barrier to enjoyment. It’ll give you a dazzling trip to London, but you wouldn’t want to stay there.
