Watch Dogs: Legion

Overall this is a solid Watch Dogs Games. However, the Missions are repetitive and the main villains are a bit bland. There is no character customization, besides of outfits, at all. I would love to change hair or something on my chosen characters. The biggest achievement is also the biggest issue in this game: You can recruit anyone in your team and all of them have some kind of background story. It is a great system, but it really lacks depth: You could build a whole Clone Army with the same face, only the abilities change - and this is the main aspect to choose people. However, you can also stick to one character if you want - but besides clothing you can not change a thing. So the biggest issue? You can not identify with "your" character. It is disposable and you just jump to the next one. You will not get attached at all. There is no personal history or story. All the gathering stuff is fun at first, and very similar to "The Division 2", but do not expect it to be as good as in the other game. You get text files, audio files and rare old things you can gather. Oh and some masks. Overall, even though you can get outfits and masks en masse in the game itself, it is clear that the best looking items with the best textures comes directly through the Item Shop - you can buy some ingame money, helper to show all locations of collectibles and complete unique outfits. I have to admit, I am only 30 Hours in, but I still try to find an outfit ingame - let´s hope it is not only available through cash shops items. There is btw also no way to earn any Shop Items with playing the game. Not even a gambling system or so.

And doing the missions? There are 3 ways: 1. You just shoot through 2. You sneak around and subdue anyone by yourself or with the help of traps. 3. You spider your way through the mission (though have to admit you can not do all with the spider).

One more thing about collectibles: Do not expect that you can listen to an audio file while walking. The System needs you to stay in the menu and on that specific file to play.

And no matter when and where you go, every place is full of people. At night 3am in a small dark walkway? No worries, you are not alone and 30 people are all around you.

The ingame map is ok, but also needs polish, POI´s just vanish if you are to far away and if you are to much zoomed in it gets angled to visualize a 3D Map. Needs getting used to, but needs some polish.

Overall: London looks great, systems are not polished, customization options are missing, no attachment to your played character, Missions are similar and repeating after you have done the first few and only the story behind it is different.

I only give 7 Stars, for the City itself and the character system they tried to build. This game is more a concept art, but sadly not finished and needs so much more finetuning. 6 Months more for these things and it should for sure get a 8 or 9 Star.

During quarantine I've spent a lot of time inside playing games and replaying the watch dogs series in preperation for this game. I just have to say only 4 hours into the game and I'm like shocked by how well this game is made. You can be anyone. Everyone has a backstory. The mechanics for hacking and even strolling in London is very cool. I have to say well done ubisoft well done.

It's an ok game in my opinion. I think the story is pretty boring and predictable. Before the big reveal I had already figured out who was behind the bombings. It's not a bad story but I just didn't care about it. I didn't care about the things I had to do. Didn't care about any of the characters. Such a shame cuz I think the game has great potential. When it comes to the gameplay, it gets a bit better. I think it's fun but they could have done a bit more if you ask me. All the missions are basically the same. You have to go somewhere, hack your way into a building, do the same puzzle you did every mission before this one, fight off some enemies, escape and try to loose the cops. There was I believe only one mission that was different from the rest. Best mision in the entire game.

I'd give this game a 6,5. I think they could have done way more with such an interesting concept.

I am loving this game it's fun and addictive don't know why people and game companies complain about the Watch Dogs franchise they are meant to be fun as heck and all people do is complain just because it had a bad start with graphics in the first game

If your a fan buy the game if you are not one then go play another game

This is a refined, well tuned experience that could make watch dogs one of Ubisoft's most popular franchises. But there is one thing, pretty important. Youtuber Ubicentral talked about this in his final impressions video. The story is dark, maybe darker than the first. But with play as anyone (which is amazingly exicuted) comes a problem. If you play as a group of grannies, or have characters with bad voice acting, the story will NOT be good. But that's my only complaint with play as anyone. No matter how much I miss the characters that made the first 2 special, it's amazing to think that a game, that was considered Ubisoft's no man sky, has made such a powerful entry into the open world shanath arena to compete with the other open world games

Edit: here are some more things I didn't have time to say. Dying feels like it has some actual weight. Even without permadeath it's still more impactful to die here than your companions in far cry 5 because you play AS these characters. The amount of fan service in this game is just the right amount. Things like default which we all expect to Aiden, wrench, a assassins creed character, and a Iana looking chick as DLC. Can't wait for online and more in the future. Also please update the uniform system. Have enforcers that only they can notice you plz? Worth a shot.
