In Watch Dogs: Legion, near future London is facing its downfall... Unless you do something about it. Build a resistance, fight back, and give the city back to the people. It's time to rise up.

About the story

London’s fallen into a technological nightmare, but you’re sharp enough to adapt. Rally the resistance to use the city’s tech against the powers that be. Where will you find your army? How about everywhere? Every Londoner has a reason to fight back. Play as literally any character – a bartender, an ex-spy, a graffiti artist, a fallen boxer, a well-connected lawyer, a stark raving mad grandma, anyone.

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 good fun, even if I’m not a big fan of it’s setting. The “Be Anyone” mechanic is a welcome addition to the series and one I would miss if it were not included in future titles. In fact, I think you have to include it in all titles going forward as it’s that fun to have. I do hope they improve on the storytelling and voice modulation for future titles using this feature though.

What you end up with is an experience that shows a ton of promise, but ends up being entirely average. It's hard to call Watch Dogs Legion a bad game outright. It's a serviceable, if traditional, open-world game with a boring story and novelty mechanics that play out better on paper than in execution. The PS5 version makes expected improvements to visuals and load times, but isn't a standout example of a "next-gen" title.

Watch Dogs: Legion is Ubisoft’s third attempt to make the open world/hacking combination work, and despite containing a few interesting ideas, it falls flat just as quickly as the others.

My gripes really stem from the place of being a fan. Anyone entering Watch Dogs: Legion looking for a by the books open world game is going to find a lot to enjoy. There are small puzzles to solve, plenty of collectibles, lots of missions and I would say the shooting and driving are the best this series has ever been. Fans of the series like myself however will be disappointed by the lack of enjoyable characters as well as stand out missions and story beats. With how close Legion is releasing to Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and Immortals Fenyx Rising it feels like Watch Dogs: Legion was left to fight for your attention and your money with less money put into development. I would recommend both Watch Dogs 1 & 2 as well as plenty of other Ubisoft experiences from the last few years before Legion at full price.
