Watch Dogs: Legion

A review on here complains that Watchdogs legion teaches kids to subvert the government. Way to miss the point!

Its the duty of citizens to question the government, its the lack of questioning that causes the takeover in the game. Now, more than ever, as Brexit comes closer, we must question. Who will take over and what are their intentions.

The game is solid although I would have preferred a main protagonist, the mechanic itself is a remarkable feat, technologywise.

The lore is rich if you read the text files and take in the surrounds.

Like many, I guessed what was going on but its no easier than 1.

Much fun can be had comparing the characters to their real life counterparts

Richard Malik- Rishi Sunak

Emma Childs- Cressida Dick

Nigel Cass- Tim Spicer and Aegis

Google these people and you'll see what I mean.



Watchdogs legion suffers from not showing its story through America but its time the world outside of America was shown. It may be hard to adjust but when you do you'll find a funny, dark and engaging political game

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

Watch Dogs Legion is awesome! It has so many characters to recruit I don't know who to recruit first

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.

Watch Dogs: Legion is about as good as you'd come to expect from this series. It's not a bad game however, it is just really lazy and underdeveloped.

Gameplay wise, it is very much identical to Watch Dogs 2 however it implements new features such as multiple playable characters (known as operatives) and these characters will have their own routines that they will live out (or so it feels like at first glance). To recruit an operative, you can just go up and talk to them (help them with a problem or liberate a borough if they don't like DedSec) and they will give you a mission - usually go and collect an Ambulance or protect them from an assassination attempt. They will then return the favour and join your cause. Beforehand, you can check these operatives skills and abilities (for example hitmen can carry lethal weapons and are generally more maneuverable in combat, and doctors and police officers can give you access to restricted areas) However, once you upgrade your skills from the main menu, you will only need to use certain operatives throughout most of your playthrough. Making this mechanic interesting, but underdeveloped.

The game's main setting is London, the cultural capital of the world - home to many different walks of life. Which has unfortunately come to disarray after a planned terrorist attack occurs and is blamed on DedSec (the main protagonist faction of the Watch Dogs series), and the group soon disbands. It is up to you, and your operatives that you recruit and play as, to conquer London from Albion - a private, corrupt military group run by Nigel Cass (who soughts to bring down DedSec) and find out who set up DedSec for the terrorist attacks.

Just to mention in this review, the voice acting in Watch Dogs: Legion is on par with Bethesda games such as Oblivion and Fallout 3. And it feels that there are even less varieties of voice actors than in those games - most of my operatives speak with an Irish accent, and there's another large group that speak in Jamaican accents. Not to mention the dialects sound too over-exaggerated for a proud member of the British Isles, such as myself.

Additionally, the music in this game is nothing really to mention - it's primarily made up of UK Grime / Rap and Punk Rock. Again, not much in terms of variety.

If you ask me, I'd recommend this game only to people who are interested in the Watch Dogs series, sandbox games, open world environments. The recommended value of this game is around £20 - £25.
