    At the time of writing, one week after purchase, autosave still doesn't work and the game is simply unplayable. You can play for hours, only to realise that all your progress is lost and you are back at the beginning. I may change my rating once the problem has been corrected but right now, this is a game that every series x owner should stay away from.

    The game in itself is not bad, but has a huge issue on Xbox series, Save it's not working and you lose your progress ! Even multiple time the same progress is lost. Making the game not usable. This is a major issue and ubisoft at best promise a patch for early december... More than 1 month after the release !! This is really a Shame and a lot of people no longer play this game due to this issue.

    What a rip off. There's this huge bug. The game can't be saved so you lose all your progress. Ubisoft does nothing about this. Tons of people have complained and still no news or update. They just don't care. Last time I've spent money on Ubisoft.

    Game sticking on the Return to Title screen that maybe can be the cause of the problem to not save.
    Just lost all interest on the game due this problems, paid a full price to play not more than 10 hours and lost half of this    … Expand

    On Xbox Series there is a bug where progress is not saved. This requires the user to replay already completed missions. The bug happens randomly but frequently. As a resullt it is prohibitive to invest ones time into the title. Sad condition, the game could be good but appears repetitive, this may be biased since every other missions actually needs to be repeated.

    Okay, where is 60 fps mode? All new games have some options to players which they can choose.

    30 fps only in next generation consoles? Terrible attitude towards players.

    I want my money back.

    Very sadly, the game cannot be played on Seriex X because of the continued save problem. Basically, the game DOES NOT SAVE and Ubisoft has so far refused to release an immediate fix. I have never heard of an issue lasting so long with a video game post-release. Ubisoft massively dropped the ball with this one.

    I have played a little of Watch Dogs 1 and really enjoyed it. I loved the characters and the gameplay. So I was excited to see what changed and improved over an entire console generation. So how did it improve or has something else appeared.

    The Gameplay
    The main focus of Watch Dogs Legion is the interactive open world, that you can recruit everyone. I really love this mechanic and the gameplay for the first couple of hours. The sneaking around and recruiting is really fun. But after playing this game a couple of times, it's become really repetitive.

    I broke into the same location for about 3 times, doing the exact same thing. It's really disappointing. The gameplay is so much fun but the missions are just so repetitive that it becomes less and less fun the more you play the game.

    Style
    The world of London is really amazing. Everything is filled with detail and the visuals in XSX is simply stunning. That makes the mission design even more disappointing. I also couldn't really get into the story. There are like 4 villains but none of them are really intimidating or urgency to take down the villains. I really loved the story of Watch Dogs 1, so it's really disappointing.

    In Conclusion Watch Dogs: Legion is a "meh" game. The world is so beautiful, but it is not filled with the same missions (Sometimes literally the exact same mission). The story is not that interesting as well. I feel this game has great potential but sadly it's just the mission design and the story which makes it is less fun every time you play.

    3/10

    I hope that the DLC with Aiden Pierce fixes a lot of issues that I have with the game. But a season pass is extra, and I would not pay extra money for DLC if I don't like the game.    … Expand

    WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! Be ready to play the same mission again and again and again and also again! The game have only one type of missions that you will repeat over and over and over like Ubisoft have no creative team at all, played the game because a youtuber called it fun and that guy obviously need to redefine the word fun again.

    I gave it a chance even with the theme that I dont like with the teenage target group, with those hip/punk/porkhelmet/clothes stuff, and those immature sentences. Because sometimes I like the Ubi formula, I enjoyed Farcry 5. But here the gameplay is more generic and unpolished.

    Sometimes I accidently jumped to a camera because the distraction feature was not reloaded yet (they have the same button mapping), which was very annoying. Also sometimes you cant see how long the damn reload for the distraction feature needs.
    When trying to at least finish the story, the already boring gameplay slows you down even further, with an infiltration mission where you cant run, and which is done 100 times better in Hitman. The main missions changes from one plot to another, when it starts to get interesting, it cuts off and starts a new story with a spoken sentence like "it hurts to let go that person, but we have to find out more about the new thing". I thinked about to force me through this further, I saw that I had a playtime of 5 hours, and the internet said that the main story takes about 18 hours, so I only said no thanks. I dont want to waste my time further, for almost 2 times the same amount of time that I already spent.    … Expand

    Boring repetitive gameplay and a story you could fall asleep to. Not worth the money and somehow looked better on my Xbox one original. The only reason this is a “Watch Dogs Game” is because you’re working with Ded Sec, otherwise it’s a completely different story with generic characters you don’t care about. DONT BUY

I am a person known to defend the last two games since I believe they are good casual fun but this game was irritating. I had five crashes that set me back at least a whole hour every time since this game decides to just save when it feels like it. This belongs in the bargain bin and I would not recommend picking this up as a Christmas present unless you hate your kids. This game also looks dreadful on next generation consoles, on my XSX this looked like a launch Xbox One game on a bad day, the characters you get to choose from in playing as look like hot garbage (And I'm not just saying their face looks ugly... they dress ugly and have bodies like a hunchback) with only a few decent looking men in the game. Not to say there shouldn't be ugly npcs or characters or anything but are ninety percent of all British hackers really this hideous?!? The voices seem to rarely match the face also, I'm off of the watch dogs fanbase after this crap.… Expand

    This game just misses the mark. First off, the fact that this game only plays at 30 FPS with no performance option already really hurts the overall experience. The story is meh, and I just didn’t really like the “play as multiple people with different strengths/weakness “ mechanic, especially when protagonists in previous Watch dog games were never so limited.

    the gameplay is absolutely terrible, the amount of bugs it launched with (and still has) is unacceptable, pair that with the intense greed from Ubisoft that has leeched into the game and congratulations, you've practically killed off the Watch dog series, though Ubisoft sees it as a win because all they care about is the profit, not the quality of the game. the heart attach mechanic wasthe gameplay is absolutely terrible, the amount of bugs it launched with (and still has) is unacceptable, pair that with the intense greed from Ubisoft that has leeched into the game and congratulations, you've practically killed off the Watch dog series, though Ubisoft sees it as a win because all they care about is the profit, not the quality of the game. the heart attach mechanic was just a dick move as well… Expand

    The problem, unfortunately, is that something feels missing without a true hero character with a deep backstory and lots of personal demons and vendettas to drive the narrative forward.

    Watch Dogs: Legion has an enormous amount of replay value and a very compelling storyline with unexpected twists along the way, especially for those who want something thought provoking and gritty.

    It’s a fun stealth-action open-world hacking game, but it’s one that falls under its own weight in many ways. With the technical problems of the Xbox One version smoothed out and enhancements to the visuals and performance across the board, I can much more easily recommend the Xbox Series X version but that doesn’t fix the core design problems. Watch Dogs: Legion is incredibly impressive, but only insomuch as it is flawed. Thankfully, there is still a competent third-person open-world game at its core.
