Watch Dogs: Legion Reviews
Legion certainly gives the Watch Dogs franchise a future, obviously dystopian, to look forward to.

I’ve loved all three Watch Dogs games, but Watch Dogs Legion may be my favourite. Perhaps it’s the familiarity of London, or perhaps it’s the unique joy of being able to take control of pretty much any character you want. There’s so much to see and do; the amount of character and life breathed into the city is unrivalled by pretty much any other open world game.
Watch Dogs: Legion throws out a decade of Ubisoft's cluttered-map open worlds in favor of exciting systems that deliver unique emergent moments consistently.
This score represents the experience of the PC version which is, even weeks after launch, in a sorry state of buggy mess for many players. Nevertheless, Watch Dogs: Legion does offer some decent fun overall with its sandbox approach to missions and standout feature of playing as virtually anyone in London.
Watch Dogs Legion is a fun and satisfying open world sandbox, with lots of tools for destruction and various strategies to go about completing your objective. It's great in short bursts, but rarely has you hooked on any one thing to keep you coming back.
Overall, I feel as if Ubisoft has dug back into what made Watch Dogs enjoyable to play. With some improvements to the overall gameplay and tweaks as time goes by, I can see others enjoying the game.
Watch Dogs: Legion lacks a soul. It's also a passive game, since there's no active push-and-pull. Albion took over London, and now you push them out one borough at a time.
Watch Dogs Legion is an ambitious albeit disappointing successor to Watch Dogs 2. It fails to offer a compelling narrative but the gameplay is still as enjoyable as ever.
The latest version of the Watchdogs series has been able to bring good ideas into the world of technology and modernity of this game, but although the idea of variety in using the main character for a revolutionary game is still lacking a single character with strong characterization in the game.

Ubisoft have done well with this game but if you get frustrated easily I would maybe wait till this game has had a few more updates first before playing it.
Now in its third interaction, Watch Dogs: Legion finally reaches maturity, showing all the potential that we had glimpsed in the first chapters characterized by important ideas but never fully realized. We are faced with a complete, fun, varied game, with a campaign that does not shine for originality but that remains enjoyable and well narrated, with well-dashed and charismatic characters.

Watch Dogs Legion, like most of Ubisoft’s big budget games, is disposable – a value-sized bag of chips. The gameplay experience is pleasurable and addicting by nature, making you want to play even if you don’t feel like it. And when you get sick of it, you just throw it away.
Watch Dogs: Legion is more of the same, albeit with more technical problems. Even the most diehard of Watch Dogs fans should wait for a patch or two before jumping in.
Watch Dogs: Legion promised a lot, however, the excess of information ends up not giving due focus to what he really sells: recruiting agents. With many passable, tiring side quests and several bugs, Legion delivers an inferior product than its predecessor.

The latest Watch Dogs does seem ripe for criticism, but at its core is a solid, fun title that is yet to leave the disk tray. Cruising through the London suburbs is a thoroughly enjoyable experience with a lot of replay-ability, if only to use the games camera mode to snap a selfie with a landmark. Some of the missions are also creatively designed and structured in a way that will live long in the memory and be the talking points with any friends on the fence about purchasing. The biggest downfall of Watch Dogs: Legion is the promise of something more. With no real incentive for recruitment outside characters given in missions, it remains very much a title for the generation. With a little more thought put into the mechanics and gameplay, focusing on how they could really have been revolutionised, this could have been an experience as future-proof as the world portrayed within it.
While it may not win any awards for the story, Watch Dogs: Legion is an enjoyable sandbox that gives you plenty of room to play around and experiment with objectives. If stealth gameplay is your thing, put this one on your pickup list.
Anyone who liked any of the previous games will absolutely love Watch Dogs Legion. It offers a lot of content that you can go through with a customized team of hackers, so no playthrough should be the same.
Watch Dogs Legion is another amusing installment from these beloved series. The gameplay is fun, character variety is really impressive and London is gorgeous and alive. Still, the game suffers from issues like technical problems, lack of variety in missions and predictable story. Nevertheless, Watch Dogs Legion is a super entertaining game that can keep you busy for hours in London and it is worth your time.

What players will find when picking up Watch Dogs: Legion is a game that is prepared for a long post-launch game-as-a-service experience. The additional DLC announced so far leans into the strengths of the game and established ideas that the series does well. The beekeepers, paintball guns and magician tricks all bring a sense of playful humour to the series, but it is worth noting that anyone who is (rightfully) tired of Ubisoft's content approach to games is going to find this one a very content-driven game.
Watch Dogs: Legion offers a Ubisoft-quality experience, but fails to deliver the innovative ideas it promises. It has all the potential to be an innovative game, but it chooses to become repetitive instead.
