    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.

    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 sees DedSec return to a hugely impressive representation of near-future London that looks and sounds amazing but can't long cover for the fact the core gameplay here is repetitive, janky stuff that's barely evolved since the days of Aiden Pearce. Traversal is hampered by uninspired, tanky vehicles, combat is scruffy, enemy AI disappointing, and hacking and sneaking highly repetitive. The "play as anyone" mechanic too, much vaunted pre-release, starts out fun but soon reveals itself to be a superfluous addition whose main effect is to rob the narrative of a proper central protagonist. Fans of the series may well still find plenty to enjoy here but in the end this is an old-fashioned, run-of-the-mill open world offering dressed up as something altogether more futuristic and fascinating.

    Still better open world game than mafia 1 remake, obviously runs better on series X than on any base console.

    This game is extremely underrated. Maybe because people didin't play it with permadeath. With permadeath the experience is unique and extremely fun.

    Boring repetitive gameplay and a story you could fall asleep to. Not worth the money and somehow looked better on my Xbox one original. TheBoring 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… Expand

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.… Expand
