Watch Dogs Legion builds upon the solid foundation established by Watch Dogs 2 while adding its own ambitious twist with mixed results. Having literally every character playable is a gargantuan task, and from a gameplay perspective it works to cement Legion as the best Watch Dogs game thus far. Narratively speaking, however, it collapses under its own aspiration to offer an intriguing concept with spotty execution. Regardless, Legion is a triumph for making good on most of its lofty promise and a triumph for the series.

Watch Dogs: Legion is set in a near-future, dystopian version of London. It's a post-Brexit world in which society, politics and technology have changed and altered London's fortunes.

I know I sound hard on Watch Dogs Legion but I do want to be clear that actually playing the game and not worrying about the recruitment aspect or the story, I had a lot of fun. And I’m really looking forward to diving back in on PS5 to finish the collectables, side missions and get the platinum. If anything, I feel that Watch Dogs Legion was a generation too early. Maybe with a sequel (if it gets one) Ubisoft can use the power of the SSD to really make the NPCs and your attachment to them meaningful. As for right now, the promise was only partially kept.

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.

Watch Dogs: Legion is a far more palatable experience on PS5 thanks to its vastly-improved load times and splendid visual upgrades. The only real technical gripes are that there’s little in the way of DualSense implementation, and the framerate, while steady, hasn’t been upped. Its base problems of open-world fatigue and messy storytelling are still problems that can’t be so easily fixed and still remain a significant barrier to enjoyment. It’ll give you a dazzling trip to London, but you wouldn’t want to stay there.

Watch Dogs Legion PS5 Review - Watch Dogs Legion is a game that shows a lot of promise, but ends up being entirely average with none of its ideas explored in meaningful depth.

Watch Dogs: Legion sees DedSec return to a hugely impressive representation of near-future London that looks and sounds amazing but can't long cover for the fact the core gameplay here is repetitive, janky stuff that's barely evolved since the days of Aiden Pearce. Traversal is hampered by uninspired, tanky vehicles, combat is scruffy, enemy AI disappointing, and hacking and sneaking highly repetitive. The "play as anyone" mechanic too, much vaunted pre-release, starts out fun but soon reveals itself to be a superfluous addition whose main effect is to rob the narrative of a proper central pro...

Where the action comes alive is in the leaving behind of bodies altogether. Most missions involve breaking and entering, and the thrill lies in the absence of any breaking.

I was completely unprepared for the realities of Watch Dogs: Legion. The second game was something that I became addicted to on the PlayStation 4. Watch Dogs Legion launched as a broken game that has been skipped over by most players. As of now, Ubisoft has fixed some of the...

Watch Dogs: Legion is impressive. It doesn’t always hit the mark with variety to its missions, but the gameplay itself, combined with the ability to recruit literally anyone, makes for a very engaging and sometimes unique experience. London itself is a joy to explore, an ever-sprawling location that
