    This game would be a near perfect and incredibly fun sandbox.
    But due to the save issues on Xbox Series S I lost around 10 hours of in game progress.
    So I cannot recommend this version at all. Avoid this version at all cost! Rating: Gameplay: 4/5 - Pretty great! Level Design: 4/5 - Lets you toy around a lot with your stealth tools Soundtrack: 4/5 - Works well with the world Story:    This game would be a near perfect and incredibly fun sandbox.

    Rating:
    Gameplay: 4/5 - Pretty great!
    Level Design: 4/5 - Lets you toy around a lot with your stealth tools
    Soundtrack: 4/5 - Works well with the world
    Story: 1/5 - Laughable
    Graphics: 3/5 - They work. But that's about it.
    Length: 1/5 - Due to save bugs you might as well be infinitely repeating the same missions.
    Replay Value: 1/5 - I will not come back to this since the save bugs are so frustrating.
    Enjoyment: 1/5 - Would be a 5/5 without the save bug.

    We find here again the (good) hacking mechanics of the saga, with the twist being there's no main character as you can recruit any "NPC" for as many approaches possible on a given mission. The idea is very good, the execution is lazy and/ or unfinished. The main problem being the character are so flat, and the dialogs are just useless random banalities. The gameplay is faulty here too, howWe find here again the (good) hacking mechanics of the saga, with the twist being there's no main character as you can recruit any "NPC" for as many approaches possible on a given mission. The idea is very good, the execution is lazy and/ or unfinished. The main problem being the character are so flat, and the dialogs are just useless random banalities. The gameplay is faulty here too, how many times will you find yourself warped behind/ under a building with no choice to change character, or fall from a flying drone because of unprecise mechanics, or get killed because your character won't jump over à 15cm wall.. Classic Ubi gameplay some may say. Otherwise the classic mechanics still works well and there is a bit of fun to get from it, and the story is ok.
    Edit : minus 1 point because of that stupid loading bug which Can make you wait around 30 minutes to load your save, same for the dlc , shame on Ubi for not taking Care of that kind of bug.    … Expand

    Grafik ist Top, 10/10. Leider ist das Spiel sehr repetitiv, so dass man eigentlich bei jeder Mission immer das selbe machen muss. Leider hatte ich auch diverse Bugs und Freezes. Dadurch, dass es scheinbar kein Autosave gibt musste ich sehr oft bereits gespieltes wiederholen.

    Ubisoft delivered probably the weakest entry in the Watch Dogs series up to this point. It's still a playable game with some interesting mechanics and properly built London, but the plot is disappointing and predictable.

    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.
