Ubisoft wants its core gameplay hook, the ability to recruit anyone in the open world, to be the thing that makes you play Watch Dogs: Legion. Unfortunately, the mechanic wears out its welcome quickly. The more time I spent with the game, the less impressive it became, and the system’s rough edges became clear. The real reason you’ll stick with Watch Dogs: Legion is its incredibly vibrant London, one of the best open worlds I’ve explored in a video game. But buyer beware. The PC version of the title is littered with issues, making the console experience the preferable choice. Watch Dogs: Legion opens with attacks on key London landmarks that are pinned on the hacker group DeadSec. This pushes the city government to hand control over to a private military corporation called Albion. As the game unfolds, the player will uncover the mystery behind Zero Day, the actual perpetrators of the bombings, and how the villainous factions of London tie into them. Watch Dogs has always skirted around...
Fantastic open world; Enjoyable combat; Fun new traversal options;
Recruitment hook doesn't work; Story is a tonal mess; Too easy, even at its most difficult; PC version crashed frequently;
