Watch Dogs: Legion Review Summary

FairCritic Consensus

Play As Anyone

The squad formed throughout the game provide a fun twist on the typical Open World formula

Repetitive Missions

Many critics noted that missions begin to feel too same-y as you get deeper into the game

Narrative Cohesion

Some critics felt that the overall story never really came together

Watch Dogs: Legion's play as anyone mechanic succeeds as more than just a gimmick, but the rest of the game will likely leave you wanting more.

Watch Dogs: Legion struggles with tone at times, but its empowering message about unity and justice still shines in a game that is as absurd as it is impactful.

Watch Dogs fans and more die-hard anarchists among you might enjoy it more, but between the short storylines, underwhelming tech and mission types and the general “everything is on fire” vibe, it just doesn’t rate highly for me.

Watch Dogs: Legion aims to be a truly ambitious entry in the series with its Legion system, but to paraphrase Ian Malcolm, the developers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
