    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). I don't understand people who actually thought this was going to be next gta 5, i doesn't even make sense. Watch Dogs is it's own thing, it's own series, it's open world modern city YES, but it's main focus isPretty fine open world game that got hit by bunch of haters who never even tried it.

Story was letdown, i agree, but i have high hopes for Aiden's dlc. Evene just free roaming with Aiden would be worth season pass to me.… Expand

    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.

    Pretty cool game if you are creative type, if you want everything to be thrown at you, you might find this one boring. Can't wait for dlc's and multiplayer.

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

    Not nearly as bad open world London as expected. Some people act like it's worst game ever made or something. It's actually pretty okay. This user score makes absolutely no sense.

    If they actually wanna save this game, they need to release multiplayer or Aiden's DLC fast. London looks great, but they need way more. I'm hopeful tho.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
