    The user reviews for this game are **** 20 hours into the game not a single bug. The story is actually pretty good - each chapter feels like one episode of black mirror. I like the fact you can switch the person you play any time... One mission in stealth, one with machine gun, another with paintball gun. Good experience overall!

    The score here makes no sense. The graphics and the reproduction of London is some of the best I have ever seen so far on consoles and just that deserves a high score.
    Few defects are the low frame rate, an average longevity and poor dialogues, but other than that an amazing game!

    Not nearly as bad open world London as expected. Some people act like it's worst game ever made or something. It's actually pretty okay. This user score makes absolutely no sense.

    London looks beautiful, first time ever any video game has modern London. Story is meh, but DLC's are really promising. If you liked Watch_Dogs 1, i would recommend this.

    Es ist ein durchaus guter Nachfolger, wenn nicht sogar für sich gestanden ein echt grandioses Spiel! Klar gibt es hin und wieder Bugs und durchaus zu wenige Sprecher für die rekrutierten Agenten, aber das Feeling und der Spaß sind einfach unglaublich! Vorallem die Mission 404 einfach mega klasse, an dieser Stelle keine Spoiler!

    Also für mich eine Kaufempfehlung!!!

    This game is really interesting and ironically it has nothing to do with actual game.

    This feels like coordinated attack to bring this game down. First it's score was (for many days) 76 (on PC version) and then for whatever reason they lowered it to 74 (on PC version) just to hurt it's reputation. So according to metacritic logic "Total War Saga: Troy" is better game than watch dogs    This game is really interesting and ironically it has nothing to do with actual game.

    It's also obvious that if youtuber "penguinz0" never made his hate video on this game, it would have pretty decent user score, but after his video went up his fanboys came to this site to bring this game down. He doesn't care that many people were waiting for this game or that people know the difference between GTA series and Watch_Dogs series. All "penguinz0" cares about is whining about Ubisoft as much as he can. It's sad that he is that way and it's sad that people like him have that much power to destroy great games, but that's the reality we live.    … Expand

I still like the one character that you build on but to have to find the people to get the job done right is also pretty cool. Graphics are top notch and the story is good but falls a little flat. It all comes down to what you do to finish the game. I give it an 8 because I wanted a strong story like the other two games but it is well worth the time spent if you get this game at half price. London looks amazing and it is a fun playground to play in with big boy & girl toys. Everyone needs to try this if you liked the other two games 100%!… Expand

    I really wasn't a fan of watchdogs 2. As a big fan of the original Watchdogs I found the entirety of watchdogs 2 a mess. the plot was very thin, the characters were terrible, and honestly, I just hated every moment of the story. the only redeemable thing about the game was just driving around san fran and exploring.

    I dreaded Legion as I expected it to be the same, especially after hearing you pick and choose characters off the street to play as, meaning another thin story and shallow characters. Right? Actually, the characters in legion are far more interesting than those of watchdogs 2, all 9 million of them! I recruited many for their attributes that they could offer the team. But found it amazing how they all linked into the narrative of the story and became major plot devices.
    The level design is great. Each mission feels very different. There's even a platforming level as a spider bot in big ben!
    Very dark yet very interesting plot. Feels like playing a Black Mirror game. Some missions were jaw-dropping, and made me pause in shock, especially levels involving Skye Larsen.

    I do wish there as a big more variation in the recruitment missions as I found them repetitive especially as I was constantly recruiting and retiring people trying to build the perfect team. Not a huge problem if you don't plan to have a full team, but for those of us constantly recruiting for the best combination of attributes doing the same dock warehouse nonstop gets old.
    One thing I miss from WD2 is the hackability to issue arrest warrants or call gang hits. Also no way to hack civilians for money anymore. likewise, no upgrade to highlight citizens that have a lot of good abilities/money.

    The game is pretty and London is beautifully represented here (it looks even better in the game than in real life!). One of the best games I've played in a while.    … Expand

    When I first bought this at the start of PS5 gen, I bounced thinking that it just didn't work. However, having come back 2 years later, I had a much different reaction. The 'gimmick' is that you recruit all your party from anyone...and the perma-death. For me personally, I preferred to not use perma-death, but create a kick-ass crew; with a lot of effort to customise looks vs backgrounds.When I first bought this at the start of PS5 gen, I bounced thinking that it just didn't work.

For me personally, I preferred to not use perma-death, but create a kick-ass crew; with a lot of effort to customise looks vs backgrounds. I enjoyed jumping between about 5-10 different characters. The story is a bit sci-fi cliche, but there were some good elements in there. I thought the last 10-20% of the game was a bit redundant - and anti-climatic in the end. However, I really enjoyed the majority of my time.
    Pros:
    Great experience of virtual London - with a great open-city vibe.
    Combat / missions had a good feel / difficulty
    Very good ray-tracing based hybrid graphics for platform
    Ambitious creative cast of home-chosen characters
    Lots of content; especially loved the variety in the region 'liberations'
    Great clothing options - fun to customize characters.
    Good variety in solving bases
    Cons:
    Would be good to have more prominent 'important NPCs' in the story
    The upgrades seem less important than I would like
    Story elements tend to be centred around the same locations; could have more variety
    Driving is fun, but lack of importance in main game.
    There aren't as many differences between characters that I would like.    … Expand

    Raises good questions about where our society is heading. Without the addition of Wrench and Aiden with DLC, the playable characters are the only flaw of this game. Did not like the team logistics where you can switch between multiple operatives. Brave game exploring difficult topics. Highly suggest if you liked the first two.

    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.
