After so much anticipation, Watch Dogs: Legion is finally here, failing to impress. Almost every single problem that prevented the 2 previous version to reach their full potential is still there, and the ability to play as all NPCs added even more issues to the game. Yes, the world is beautiful and you have all the freedom that you want, but as a game, Watch Dogs Legion is shallow and suffers from poor level and character design. A strong contender for the most disappointing game of the year.

Watch Dogs: Legion doesn't have the main protagonist, instead we have a city full of oppressed and tired people with their own stories. Other than that this is the usual Watch Dogs game and fans of the first two should be pleased with what it can offer.

Watch Dogs spreads with new members in your team and futuristic technologies. However AI, animations and gameplay should be more improved.

Watch Dogs: Legion is not only a great sequel for Watch Dogs series but also a great open-world game. Legion blends amazing story with well built game play mechanics. even tough Legion suffers from technical problems and bugs, but other elements are so good that even these can't ruin the experiences. with Watch Dogs: Legion, Ubisoft has found that successful open-world formula again and the game is well worth the time and money you pay for.

Watch Dogs: Legion is a massive game with perhaps the biggest recruitable main cast of characters we’ve ever seen. With its varied gameplay and its tried-and-true Ubisoft open-world experience, it offers dozens of hours of entertainment and isn’t to be missed.

Being able to Play As Anyone in Watch Dogs: Legion is impressive at first, but it becomes a detriment to the core experience that's in need of revitalization. The hacking and stealth infiltrations haven't changed a bit, and with repetitive mission design and numerous technical issues, this latest chapter finds DedSec in an identity crisis.

Overall, Watch Dogs Legion is a ton of fun. There is so much to do and experience in this game and so many different ways to do it. The hacking puzzles are familiar but still fun and sometimes challenging. The real star of this game is the variety of characters you can recruit and the backstories that come with them.

'Play As Anyone' is insanity itself, and WDL's best trick, even if it could've been utilized even better, and with a world rich in content and fun activities, this passes as a fun open world romp, even if the story and events feel lacking.

Watch Dogs Legion tries so hard to innovate the franchise, but in doing so, it feels like a product that was either rushed or there was no love for it. Ubisoft Toronto did their best to give us a whole new Watch Dogs experience, but when the second installment of the franchise is the benchmark, it’s hard for me not to nitpick on these issues I find in the game. I love the franchise, but this isn’t the kind of innovation I’ve expected Watch Dogs to have.

Watch Dogs: Legion is a great game with impressive graphics, original gameplay and a lively and relatively large world. However, it won't impress you with a rather average story, full of clichés about hacker "goons" and futuristic crypto-anarchy. However, it can be interesting as a slightly less morbid alternative to the popular Grand Theft Auto, against which it is generally much more optimistic.

Watch Dogs: Legion is a technically ambitious game which manages to capture the essence of its real-world location, including some of its real-life socio-political battles. Its 'play as anyone' feature isn't quite the game-changer it might appear, but if you've always yearned to recruit a gang of senior citizens to usurp a corrupt political administration from within then Legion can make your dreams come true.

Watch Dogs: Legion feels like a culmination of lessons learned in open-world games of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One era. It’s certainly a nice send-off for this generation of consoles and is an easy recommendation for any fans of the series, or open-world games in general.

Watch Dogs: Legion tries something new and it serves as both the game’s biggest strength and a small weakness as the amount of variety at every turn makes this a game players will constantly want to sink time into.

Watch Dogs: Legion is a promising step for the franchise in so many ways, continuing to push further away from the over-the-top seriousness that was present in the famously dull original title. While Ubisoft has certainly aimed for some interesting mechanics to provide the player with exciting prospects and new ways to tackle the gameplay, mission variants are almost non-existent, offering the same tired format that is a plague on the open-world genre. Combine this with the uninspired narrative and downright terrible performance, and you are left with a game that, while at times offering some fun chances for freedom in gameplay, does nothing to justify a full-price purchase.

In conclusion, Watch Dogs Legion presented a well-balanced story with a lot of interesting events, while building a strong cast of main characters that is unfortunately held down because of bad performance and design of the playable characters, which caused an obvious gap between the gamer and interactive events, the idea that you choose and play with any character you want is quite revolutionary and whats missing here is a little bit more polishing. This freestyle of gameplay gave the player the freedom to finish the missions whoever he liked, with a beautifully vibrant world that got enhanced by the superb graphics.

The open world hacker sandbox style of Watch Dogs: Legion sets its gameplay apart from the previous titles and other open-world titles such as Grand Theft Auto.

Watch Dogs Legion is a great game. London is an excellent setting and the gameplay variation makes for a really fun experience. The recruit anyone mechanic is an interesting idea that works well if you are willing to overlook the awful lip-syncing and some odd-looking characters. If you enjoyed Watch Dogs 2 and don’t mind a game that is a little light on narrative, you will enjoy this third entry in the series.

Watch Dogs Legion promises a futuristic London, where you can play as everybody. Unfortunately, it has a lot of flaws, that should be perfected for an already delayed game.
