    I feel likes tons haters were hoping that watch dogs legion fails and just mass downvoted it, but it didn't fail, in fact, it's doing just fine. Tons of people on youtube are enjoying it, ign review got over 15 000 likes. And metascore 76 for pc and 77 for xbox one are very solid. Not every game is 9 or needs to be 9.

    Only real thing this game misses is one central main character. NPC recruitment is cool idea, but there should still be one main character, npc recruitment should be bonus things you could do.
    Even tho this issue might be fixed with upcoming dlc character, specially Aiden from first game.

    This game is funny and thats the important, it is not a master pice but it is funny, the story could be better and ubisoft could use better the resources of the game, the misions sometimes feel repetitive but thet are funny.
    My final veredict is: it is funny game that could be better

    Watch Dogs Legion developers actually tried to give npc's personality, so they wouldn't be just copy-paste blank faces. London actually feels like real city now.

    Whole point of creating open world where you can recruit anyone is that you put there tons of different characters, not same copy-paste npc's. It's not GTA 5 anymore, that game was 7 years ago.

GTA 6 will very likely do exactly same, give character's different personalities etc. If they don't it will be huge step back.

It has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with some sjw stuff that some people claim, all it has to do with is making open worlds more interesting, that's all there is. If anything watch dogs 2 was sjw game and i wasn't fan of that game. Every npc on street was literally the same. Legion reminds me more Watch Dogs 1 that had darker tone than Watch Dogs 2. While WD1 is still best WD game imo, Legion is close second place and different npc's / npc recruitment makes it stand out. They will literally bring back first games main character in dlc and some people still complain...… Expand

    After 10 hours:
    Positives:
    Graphics, Character recuritment, London, More serious tone than WD2, Hacking, Parkour, Tons of graphics settings.
    Negatives:
    Not very innovative from any aspect, Story is weak, Needs perfromance patch.
    Overall conclusion: Better than expected, because i had extremely low expectations after WD2. Better than any Ubisoft game from 2019.

    Compared to many other 2020 game that will be over in 2 hours, WD Legion actually has content. If you like that content, that's up to you obviously, but at least here's tons of stuff to do. Character recruitment is true standout, but i have to say WD1 had better story. I'm still hopeful for dlc's tho, because they bring back Aiden. Could use performance patches.

    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.    … Expand

Fighting off the entire police force with your fists is a hell of an experience. The recruit anyone is pretty interesting coming from a State of Decay 2 experience. Oh and the game looks insane at nighttime. Overall I'm enjoying my time with the game.

    This one took a while for me to get into. The characters felt unimportant. Keep building your team up with talent. I would suggest turning permadeath on as well. Gameplay gets cool as hell once you start taking over powerful drones and turrets. I definitely want Watchdogs to use this legion system from now on!

    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.

    I really hope Ubi comes back and optimizes it more on all platforms. Unfortunately they don't have a great track record in that area.
    So it seems like it will be a decent game if you like open world games and just waisting some time and having some fun. But what it doesn't have is a gripping story or characters you care about. If you go in knowing what to expect and like this type of game this should satisfy!    … Expand

But everyone else like the recruited members dont fit as the voice acting isnt great and the lip syncing is nonexistent. Although you can recruit anyone in the world, the gameplay barely differs between characters and it all feels the same. The game does look good, it controls fine, and the concept of the game itself is really cool, but they failed in making a fun open world. I would recommend getting it on sale and not getting it at full price as it isnt worth it.… Expand

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.… 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.

    I am now playing this game in the Series X, and whilst it looks outstanding with the raytracing, it's not enough for the game to lure me in. I recognize that Ubisoft has made a good game, but the problem with a good game is that nowadays there are too many. And with so many good tittles, it's really the outstanding ones that have moved the standard of what to expect in a video game.

However, as a huge Watchdogs fan, I pre-ordered it and got it day one, and I want to say, it was such a nice breath of fresh air from modern day games like Modern Warfare and other - questionable - games.

    The combat is heavily improved from One and Two. You can now punch, guard break and dodge instead of the plain Takedowns that were the only melee combat in WD 1 + 2. Gunplay feels above average for your typical Open-world third person shooter, and the range of ways to shoot was vast - something I’ll explain more later.

    Now the main selling point of this game is the play-as-anyone mechanic. I didn’t know how well this would be executed at first - I thought it could either be a cheap way to make the game unique or something that would completely revolutionise the franchise, and I can safely say it felt amazing. Walking around the world for ages just to find one person that would help your team significantly felt satisfying and not at all a waste of time. Unfortunately Ubisoft haven’t given us a real reason to recruit a “normal” person unless you really have to - but the amount of skilled operatives you can come across in one session made up for that.
    I haven’t yet come across the same person twice, which is very impressive when you consider there are 9 MILLION people to recruit, and their recruitment missions weren’t *too* repetitive - and neither were their abilities.

    Hacking didn’t feel much different, but like they say: you can’t fix something that’s not broken, but I would have liked to have seen different mechanics for the driving aspect. It feels good but not anything    … Expand

    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.

    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.
