The game is not buggy or anything but that doesn't mean it's a good game if it works. It's just mind numbingly boring. And I don't even really hate Ubisoft, I do like some of the earlier Assassin's Creed titles and even Watch Dogs 1 was enjoyable but this game really takes the cake for being the worst AAA ever released.… Expand

    This is a very poor and lazy effort, and inferior to both previous Watch Dogs in almost every conceivable way. Pretty much the only thing it has going for it is the London location.

    The dialogue is cringeworthy; characters in the game speak like a 50-year-old’s idea of how teenagers speak… and they do this no matter their age or social class. Hearing a Barrister say “that’s well lit”…    This is a very poor and lazy effort, and inferior to both previous Watch Dogs in almost every conceivable way. Pretty much the only thing it has going for it is the London location.

    The dialogue is cringeworthy; characters in the game speak like a 50-year-old’s idea of how teenagers speak… and they do this no matter their age or social class. Hearing a Barrister say “that’s well lit”… just, please… no. And almost every character (including the supposed comedy AI narrator that’s ripped off Portal 2) swears constantly in a way normal people simply don’t. And no attempt has been made to make the voices sound like they’re coming from the actual character in the game environment - it’s just a raw file from the soundproof recording booth pasted into the game with no post effects.,

    The voice acting itself is abysmal with Dick Van Dyke “cockernee” accents and horribly flat emotionless “phoned in” delivery. And the way they’re sometimes inappropriately matched to certain characters likenesses strays into uncomfortable racist territory (witness an Asian female character speaking with a Jamaican accent, for example).

    The graphics… well, it’s a sort of London (heavy condensed - would only fool tourists), and the buildings and streets generally do look great. But, unlike previous Watch Dogs games, you can’t go into any of the shops. The cars are mostly electric, but don’t sound like actual electric cars (they seem to change up through “gears”!) and the steering is very laggy. And there’s no in-car “cockpit” view - the previous two games had this, why is it missing here? In fact just about every cool feature from the previous two games is missing in this one, such as your mobile phone.

    The playable and NPC character models are awful - they’re all slightly freakish-looking in some way or other; again, worse than the previous two games.

    The plot is… hardly anything worth thinking about. You’re part of an underground movement fighting against bad people and a bad establishment. The game is just boring, with every mission feeling pretty much the same, and many missions going back to locations you’ve already visited.

    Seriously… play this for a bit, and then go back and play the original Watch Dogs (which came in for so much criticism at release)… even in 2021, it’s much more fun.    … Expand

    Just more of the same from Ubisoft. Another open world sandbox with collectibles, liberating districts, and an uninteresting story.

After playing as different characters, the only differences are some very minor bonuses (Such as access to a drone, a specific starting weapon or 10% off at clothing stores.) or some different dialogue. The AI seems to have trouble using their weapons to kill the player, because they will instead try to circle around them to gain some type of tactical advantage, but then stop short of doing anything with it.

    It's not like the game is inherently awful or broken. It's just so painfully generic. This is the same game as all Assassin's creed games and Far Cry 2-5. Watch Dogs: Legion even has the stock "Comedy" character, who, while somewhat entertaining, just seems like a character that needed to be added because they needed to check off the "Humor" box.

    It's a perfectly functional game. And if you're looking for another Ubi-sandbox game, then this will keep you busy. But you could also play any other modern open-world sandbox game, and probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.    … Expand

    Online mode is completely separate from campaign. The recruiting online is nothing like offline, nor does it share operatives. Such a disappointment. THIS IS NOT HOW TO BUILD CO-OP. WatchDogs2 was far more co-operative.

Hm...It's not an easy because looking on the buildings, roads, driver's line and some of elements graphics, sure WD2 is under some levels, but Ubisoft first, didn't create 1:1 of London so why game's producer didn't make a London in futuristic theme or even SCI-FI? I don't understand a self-car driving because it's a game and fun is the most important, I think. The second, see on the graphics that Ubisoft made a decision go to easy way.

A core principle of the game. you no longer have that. you have a bunch of bland characters that ubisoft tries so hard to shove down your throat that they are british. we get it, it is london. not every has to wear a british flag, a knight helmet or see a british flag every 10 feet in the game. its cliche after cliche and stereotype after stereotype. also if you kill someone you cant hide there body anymore so another person doesn't find them and set off an alarm. hours into the game and you still don't have a lethal gun. everything is non lethal. i get it its britian and guns arent legal. but come on its a damn video game. its watchdogs for crying out loud. the hacking also seems more like your swiping your credit card rather then actually hacking anything. its very quick and not satisfying. it seems they left out or shortened all the great small details that made watchdogs, watchdogs. i have been forcing myself to play it thinking..."i bet it gets good now". and never does. london of course has narrow streets so forget about highspeed chases. all you have to do to get away, is run and you will get away every time. i have literally never been caught fleeing anywhere. doesn't matter if you are on foot or driving. i bought the game for $40. i still wouldnt recommend it. if you are that curious buy it used at gamestop for $20 when you can or wait until it drops. it's just not worth the money. I wouldnt recommend it at any price but if you are curious, get it cheap. there is nothing they can do to improve the game. the problems are the very core of the game itself. horrible story, boring characters, boring weapons, no action. there are only about 7-8 types of vehicles in the entire city. this includes a scooter and 1 motorcycle. ubisoft was developing a few games at once and it shows this was not a priority. bare bones with everything. not even including the basics that made watchdogs a great series.… Expand

Where should i start, actually, i don't think i want to start, just thinking about it annoys me. Well i guess it was destined to have at the most a mediocre story. As you can choose who your main character is, there could be a really emotional moment (which there isn't) but you could be playing as a granny or sex worker, so it doesn't play out too well. The character designs are bad, the voice acting is dreadful, the glitches are almost certainly over common, and altogether a truly bad game.… Expand

    The humour is hit and miss, at times funny and gets a chuckle at other times you're wishing you weren't playing the game. The incredible cloth physics from the last 2 games especially with coats is now gone, instead we have cardboard clothing that clip through everything including the cars your driving and bikes you're riding and looks terrible, the control scheme is also awful and even when you change the buttons to suit your play style it forces other prompts to be left out or combined with the same button as others, at first this doesn't seem so bad but after fiddling with the controller layout for over 3 hours there is no fluid way to have control of the game.

    This game gets a 2 if problems are fixed maybe I'll give it a better score but as it stands it feels like you are forced to play as females and people you don't want to play as just to suit their agenda, this is disgusting to the point even my girlfriend was asking if I could play longer to find her a white male spy or hitman because that's who SHE wants to play as.

    My gripes really stem from the place of being a fan. Anyone entering Watch Dogs: Legion looking for a by the books open world game is going to find a lot to enjoy. There are small puzzles to solve, plenty of collectibles, lots of missions and I would say the shooting and driving are the best this series has ever been. Fans of the series like myself however will be disappointed by the lack of enjoyable characters as well as stand out missions and story beats. With how close Legion is releasing to Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and Immortals Fenyx Rising it feels like Watch Dogs: Legion was left to fight for your attention and your money with less money put into development. I would recommend both Watch Dogs 1 & 2 as well as plenty of other Ubisoft experiences from the last few years before Legion at full price.

    It’s a convincing facsimile, which makes trying to save it from Albion and its assorted cronies a more compelling task. And Legion’s big gimmick is that you can play as, well, anyone. Construction workers, lawyers, YouTube stars, retired cage fighters, Anarchists, football hooligans. All are served up by Ubisoft’s smart procedurally-generated trick, each with their own look, background and sometimes even voting record.
