    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

    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.

    The game itself, although not a perfectly recreated London you will constantly recognise streets, landmarks and shops (rebranded of course) to make you feel "at home". Beautifully reconstructed. The noise, people, sights. It really is incredibly immersive.

    I'm loving the story. It's a classic "setup by bad people" story, but well worth your time.

    I've not had any bugs.

    Playing on RTX PCs.

    Performance is OK. Hitting a consistent 60fps is tough at any graphical setting...

    Solid game, if it was only for the story and the game it-self it would be maybe an 8 for me, but then the SeriesX upgrade makes it shine up to a 9. Futuristic london just looks awsome with RayTracing and the bump of resolution on SeriesX. Till now, the best RayTracing experience on console, once i've seen what it can bring to the game all other games are lacking.

Once you figure that out the game is amazing, the story and all the main characters are excellent and the city of London while boring at first really started to grow on me, and while I hate the play as anyone feature I love profiling people and recruiting them to Dedsec and having them chime in on conversations during missions it, makes it so I have a connection with these other operator’s even though I never play as them. The combat isn’t great but fist fighting is pretty fun and stealth can be brutal and fun, hacking is also a big part of the game and the use of drones adds a fun new element to combat and stealth. In conclusion Ubisoft failed at making a "play as anyone game" in my eyes simple because there is zero reason to play as anyone but the spy and hitman for the most part, but aside from that this game is probably my favorite in the series and the story and characters alone are worth the money.

    Gráficamente es una maravilla, la ciudad de Londres es una delicia (Camden especialmente me encanta) Como punto negativo, para poder disfrutarlo en su máximo esplendor con el raytracing activado y el DLSS OFF necesita un pc muy potente.

    Negatives:
    Not very innovative from any aspect, Story is weak, Needs perfromance patch.

    I mean it's pretty obvious that on 2013 base consoles, it can't be amazing, best version of it right now is PC version, if someone wants to play on consoles it's better to wait for Xbox Series X or PS5 versions. I'm impressed that base consoles even run this. They barely runs RDR2 and RDR2 is mostly empty wasteland.

    It's not MUST BUY right now, but it has very strong potential to become even better. There's some serious performance patch needed, but it's all there. Everything that was in trailers, gameplay demos etc. And it's (so far) pretty enjoyable game.

    I have strong mixed feelings about this game. First off, it's all there, npc recruitment, London in all it's glory, everything that was in trailers, everything they promised, it's all there.

    Now, let describe this open world London and stuff i like about it and stuff i don't like at all.
    This game misses main character, i'm sorry to say that, but it does. I can't wait to see if anything improves when they release season pass with Aiden, but it must. I would absolutely love to free roam with Aiden in that city. I guess what i want is actual character focused story. Right now it almost feels like it's work in progress and they should have released Aiden day 1 as post-story content. Like if you finish main story, then you can play with Aiden basically, well they didn't do that and i can live with that, i just hope season pass delivers, i really do. And why am i so optimistic? Because at the same time, there's so much there. This city really looks beautiful, for example you can go on cargo drone and fly on top of almost any building (that isn't too high) and chill around there. Scenery is BEAUTIFUL. You can free roam around on these rooftops, explore them etc. But then i have some criticism against open world design choices, for example i was free roaming and i found this old train in middle of nowhere, Would have been so cool to go inside it and explore it, but you can't because it has no doors. It's not the end of the world, but little things like that could have been so much deeper. You can drive inside trams in WD1 and you can't even go inside old train? Just saying. But overall it's not trash, it's just not. It' might not be anyone's cup of tea and that's completely fine, giving it just zero is pathetic at best. I'll just be honest, driving sucks with mouse and keyboard, it actually felt better in WD1 and they need to fix this, i'm serious. Overall it has tons of potential, underground areas is nice idea as well. There's so much there and there's stuff that i can forgive, like i don't NEED to go inside old trains, it would be just cool, that's all i'm saying. Overall again, it's not trash, it's just not. It just need improvement and for the love of god it needs that season pass more than ever.

What they didn't is that this game feel way packed together, EVERY OPEN WORLD GAME NEEDS AREAS TO TAKE TIME DOWN, BREATHE. It has some on if and i'm glad it does, but i would like these kinds of games have some kind of forest area, nature area, just like watch_dogs 1 did. ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE CITY, ANYTHING, PLEASE. I absolutely don't care if real London don't have nature areas, PRETEND IT DOES, IT'S A VIDEO GAME. You can do whatever you want with it. Still i'm not giving up on it just yet, i really wanna see what they do with season pass and if Aiden's story is good enough. If they this right, this might actually be pretty decent hacking/open world game that takes place in London and that's actually (at least to me) very important aspect. I like London. I love it's architecture (yeah i'm history nerd, sue me). NPC recruitment is very unique idea BUT IT NEEDS MORE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IT NEEDS MORE. Like i said, i'm still hopeful, would love to fly on cargo drones with Aiden Pearce and play his missions. Could be actually cool. Even tho i kinda trashed it, don't get me wrong, i still like this game. It's miles better than completely empty open world of mafia remake, i don't care if it focuses on story, if you have huge open world, do something with it. Watch_Dogs is at least doing something. And it's overall by any means more fun than Marvel's Avengers, these are not even comparable. I'm not saying these things AT ALL to trash other games, i'm just pointing out facts. My recommendation would be either wait for sale, wait for season pass or just take whatever this game has to offer right now. It's overall very promising and at times very fun. Expand

    Watch Dogs Legion was never bad or awful game, in fact, i would like to argue it's better and deeper than watch dogs 2. Watch Dogs 1 will always be best in the series, unless they do something crazy with WD 4, but Legion is solid enough, it just needs tons of polishing and updates, more content. DLC's must deliver.

Чушь и бред слабоумного! Как по мне все эти мнимые школокритики зарабатывают себе очки путём лишь провокации и скандала, унылые и жалкие типы. Впрочем, эта ситуация прекрасно даёт мне лично понять с кем мне не по пути. Ох уж эти мамкины критикули чуть ли не каждый второй посчитал за честь облить грязью последний Watch Dogs и, откровенно говоря, закралось у меня некое беспокойство. Вторая часть мне очень понравилась и для меня выход Легиона это было событие, которого я действительно ждал. И знаете, в итоге я практически получил то чего и хотел. Всем кому нравилась вторая часть обязательно понравится и последняя, я в этом уверен. А те, кто формирует своё мнение на основе дешевых крикунов и выскочек, то просто проходите мимо. Итак всё же что такое теперь этот новый Watch Dogs? Это по-прежнему история про хакерскую ячейку DedSec, но теперь из солнечного Сан-Франциско мы с вами перемещаемся в более знакомый нам Лондон будущего. Знакомый и потому, что уже гоняли по нему в Syndicate, и потому, что по погоде прямо родной Питер. Даааа, дождит тут как полагается и выглядит вся эта стихия, и лужицы на асфальте, и мокрые людишки и прочие поверхности зданий, автомобилей и всего-всего-всего весьма и весьма реалистично. Рейтресинг как он должен быть! А каков этот Лондон ночью в неоновом свете это просто надо видеть. С картинкой Юбисофт как обычно сделали всё выше всяких похвал. Геймплейно в Легионе по сути всё очень близко ко второй части, но лишь отчасти и в базовых функциях. Да мы по прежнему можем нахакать ловушек, поуправлять дистанционно транспортом, взломать дронов, видов которых тут немало (что в общем-то ново), отвлечь неписей, закинув им какую-то мерзость на мобилку или закоротив их гарнитурки, ну и конечно пошмалять по вражинам из огне/электрострелов. На этом параллели заканчиваются. Арсенал хакерского инвентаря значительно претерпел изменения. Теперь в нашем распоряжении имеется несколько видов электромеханических паучков и дронов как для хакерской взлома, видеосъемки так и для ведения боя. Помимо этого имеем возможность маскировки персонажа, наших дронов/паучков и также тел поверженных противников для любителей стелсяночки. Expand

    It's a good game. Beautiful at times, but also ugly at times (cut scenes have weird blurring fx that seem buggy). You can hop on a cargo drone and fly around the gigantic map. Sneak around restricted areas with a robot spider. And you can stick it to the man. Best entry in the watchdogs series.

    Watch Dogs Legion is fun and unique!
    The Play as Anyone Formula is well executed and works pretty well. Every NPC has its weapons and no npc feels exactly the same. The Missions to recruit them, were often to access some evidence or kill some guys. The Story is interesting, and is not pushed as hard as in Watch Dogs 1&2. The Villain, Zero-Day is pretty badass. Futuristic London is pretty well executed and detailed. The Graphics and Visuals are really good. The Gameplay did not change much, so it was fun for me. But it does have some bugs and it overheated my Xbox One X many times.

    Verdict : 8/10. Watch Dogs Legion is unique, fun and immersive. But it does have some nasty issues. If you don't care about the bugs, get it now. If you do care then either wait a few weeks tip they fix it or buy it on sale.

    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.

    Ubisoft have done well with this game but if you get frustrated easily I would maybe wait till this game has had a few more updates first before playing it.

    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.
