    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.

    If you are watch_dogs fans and if you liked first one more than second one then this is worth trying out. London looks beautiful.

    Pretty fine open world game that got hit by bunch of haters who never even tried it. It was never meant to be gta 5 successor, there's gta 6 for that (who knows when that comes out).

    This game deserves so much more attention, even if it's just for that beautifully created London.

    Basically it's pretty simple, if you liked watch_dogs 1, then Legion is worth a try, because this one is also more serious and will have first game's main character back. If you didn't like watch_dogs 1, don't even try it. Unless recruiting npc's interests you. It's fine game, nothing special, nothing bad.

It is the third installment in the Watch Dogs series, and the sequel to 2016's Watch Dogs 2.
    This game dropped recently to the Xbox store and everybody was waiting to play or see it. The game opens with you playing as Dalton, a spy much like Taron Egerton from Kingsman, fighting his way through Parliament to stop a terrorist bombing. Ultimately you're unsuccessful, and this leads to Albion taking over London with an iron grip and Dedsec twisting in the wind, until they can rebuild the hacker collective. So they created a different way to play the game. While there's no main character in Watch Dogs Legion you can basically recruit anyone you see on the street of course not for free, I mean I recruited a security guard from my enemy organization by doing a job for him. However the absence of the main character is a problem because the heroes are nobodies, picked off the streets almost at random. The villains turn out to be so much more interesting as characters than the extras, who might be construction workers or graffiti artists. I think that would be funny if I write about the visuals and graphics etc. Because everybody has already been pleased with these since the first trailer released. Not like some people I didn't have any performance issues though the game worked pretty good with my system "I've played the game on PC and Xbox One and Xbox One Xbox Series X" Legion is much more concerned with piloting drones, and there are a few obstacles courses you have to navigate with flying drones that are more interesting diversions from the regular gameplay anyway.
    Many areas also integrate the same power-flow puzzles from Watch Dogs 2, overlaying their rotatable nodes onto the real world with augmented reality and sometimes asking you to complete them while under fire. They’re rarely very tricky but it’s still a very clever approach to puzzle gameplay. If you are a fan of the series you will likely enjoy Watch Dogs: Legion and especially if you have a ne Xbox Series S or X since there are a limited amount of new releases to date until we get our grubby little hands on Cyvberpunk 2077 in a few short weeks. While the new hardware smooths out the technical issues some have experienced on the Xbox One it still doesn't completely eliminate the missing design elements from the game that could have taken it to the next level in the fun department.    … Expand

    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.

    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

    Este juego te hace pensar en cada misión y te invita a ser creativo en la manera de llevar a cabo las misiones, puedes pasarlas como tú creas conveniente, usando un aracnobot, usando un traje de la policía o de cualquier manera que se te ocurra. Es increíble lo bien que funciona todo el gameplay con tantos controles pero en ningún momento se siente torpe, todo es muy fluido. Este juego me hizo dejar de lado todos los juegos de lanzamiento que compré con mi consola, Yakuza Like a Dragon, Cyberpunk 2077, etc. Qué gran sorpresa ha sido este juego. Además hasta las misiones secundarias son divertidas y tienen un sentido. Todo el gameplay en cuestión de los hackeos, no podría ser más divertido, prácticamente puedes hacer uso de toda la ciudad a tu modo. Y el hecho de poder reclutar para tu clan a cualquier persona que te encuentres en la calle es algo único.

    En el apartado técnico todo es muy bueno, la ciudad luce muy bien y el Ray tracing lo hace aún mejor. El soundtrack y el score son muy buenos, además todo el diseño gráfico y el diseño de ropa, armas, máscaras son demasiado cool.

    五十小时左右通关，57小时白金。整体游戏体验良好，基本玩法很扎实，画面、剧情什么的都还不错，但越是这样，越让人感慨游戏本来可以达到的高度。在我看来，如果有充分的打磨、堆料、优化的话，这游戏本应该有年度游戏提名的水平。

    画面：军团的画面不如二代阳光明媚，但在4K分辨率的灯红酒绿之中一个非常有赛博朋克味道的伦敦呼之欲出。遗憾的是，我去过旧金山而没有去过伦敦，所以对那些知名的地标没有多少感触。    五十小时左右通关，57小时白金。整体游戏体验良好，基本玩法很扎实，画面、剧情什么的都还不错，但越是这样，越让人感慨游戏本来可以达到的高度。在我看来，如果有充分的打磨、堆料、优化的话，这游戏本应该有年度游戏提名的水平。

    画面：军团的画面不如二代阳光明媚，但在4K分辨率的灯红酒绿之中一个非常有赛博朋克味道的伦敦呼之欲出。遗憾的是，我去过旧金山而没有去过伦敦，所以对那些知名的地标没有多少感触。

    核心玩法：《看门狗》系列的任务目的无非是到达某个地方/找到某个任务，有的时候还要在目的地存活一段时间并安全撤离。在达到目的地的路上可能存在的障碍主要有敌对势力、需要解锁的门（实体接触开关或者下载密钥）、网络绕接。在二代中，我喜欢用简单粗暴的方式——让管制区域内警方和匪方火并，自己最后进去坐收渔利。军团中取消了栽赃陷害的技能，而赋予了蜘蛛机器人实体接入、隐身、麻痹敌人的能力。因而，军团里完全依靠遥控装置潜行更考验水平了——一边要以有限的视角来观察管制区域构造，寻找潜行路线；一边要小心地避开路上碰到的敌人或者把他们都电晕。除此之外，军团里大的货运直升机能够载人，也就是说，和二代相比，军团的潜入是立体的，主角可以直接搭乘无人机到管制区域上方寻找隐秘或者接近目标的入口潜入或投放蜘蛛。另外，育碧在保持一贯优秀的普通据点设计的基础上，在主线和支线中设计了不少令人印象深刻的关卡，我曾在游玩过程中一度以为自己在玩《超级马力欧》。在游玩过不少育碧游戏后，这样的游戏体验无疑是令人惊喜的。

    探员系统：这应该是军团最大的卖点了。实际游戏里，你只能选择有一项能力的探员开始游戏，而你在大街上随便接触到的人可能都有多项能力。而解放每个区域都会自动招募一名强力探员。通过探员系统，军团里可以发展不同的游玩方式：遥控潜入、肉身潜入、无双过关等，而且借由不同的探员身份，不会产生游玩方式和身份的割裂感。在能力之外，有的探员还有不同管制区域的身份或者制服。在管制区域内使用相应制服的探员可以延缓被敌人发现，更有甚者可以通过蛇皮走位大摇大摆地走进去完成任务。不过，美中不足的是，探员的刻画还是略显单薄，Dedsec内部的吐槽都是差不多的朋克风，至少也要按职业有点区别吧。

    剧情：军团的剧情相对此前一些游戏有了一些进步，不论是主角还是反派基本都刻画得有血有肉，行为也在一定程度上自洽。部分人物的刻画让我想到《黑镜》这部剧，反乌托邦和赛博朋克味满满。主线剧情有过几次大的反转，逻辑上没什么问题，但我觉得前面的铺垫和伏笔做得不够，详略失当，该紧张的地方紧迫感不够，高潮的剧情戛然而止，令人恼火。

    收藏品：军团里有文本档、录音、文物、拼贴画等收集要素。前两项展示的社会百态，有点像二代扫描一个人之后显示的个人信息。但文本一般有多个，信息是割裂的，录音要耐心听完才有味道，实际上体验一般。文物救是育碧在玩历史梗。拼贴画和二代类似，不过可以通过载人无人机快速到达地点。有一点比较好的是军团里设置目标地点可以直接看到收藏品的相对位置，大部分情况下找起来都方便了不少，少部分情况下收藏品藏得很阴间，隔着一米就不知道怎么走。此外，和收藏品相关的成就都有bug，要用同一个人不中断地收集才能完成成就。为此，我还不得不删档重开。

    其他：主机版优化有大问题，三次卡死机强退。按键反应也慢。偶尔可以看见穿模。驾驶手感一般，习惯了也只是能开。    … 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.

    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.
