Watch Dogs®: Legion

This game has issues with signing in. Bought this months ago and just gave up trying to play it. When I contacted the company for help I have yet received a response. Buy another game

I thought the OG Watchdogs was okay. Watchdogs 2 I came back to over and over, Re-played the story and just loved messing around in the world and exploring. My biggest positive about WD Legion is the map and the city - it is huge and gorgeous. The drones are pretty cool. You can hijack drones and just start causing mayhem. It's a way to make the game play interesting since the story itself isn't really engaging. Overall, it's the shiny object that is mind numbingly dull underneath. Like others have said, WD Legion is shallow compared to the previous games. You jump from npc to npc, recruiting new playable avatars. The stories are repetitive along with the voice acting. One thing I found ridiculous was in a recruitment cutscene, "Join DEDSEC, it's fun!" I know it's just a game but the irony in describing a terrorist organization that kills people as "fun" is cringe inducing. There is no leveling up, the avatars have traits that are locked in and never change. Some traits are comical, like "flatulence" and" hiccups." These will cause you to get noticed by the guards. Some have "deathwish" which means they die forever when they get killed. They are the only avatars that had any weight. By default, if you die, the avatar is arrested and after x amount of time, they are released and back in your playable inventory. There is a dancing trait to make money, but you can only have one avatar active at a time. They can never work as a team. I don't think you need money anyway, unless you want to keep buying clothes for the avatar. The problem with not having a story develop is the characters are all one dimensional. You start with one playable avatar, then you recruit more. They are all interchangeable, meaning they have no depth, no individual stories. When one avatar is arrested, another one can immediately pick up the mission exactly where the last one stopped. They all have the same back stories. It's also ridiculous that every single npc is ready to join DEDSEC, good with weapons and willing to fight the government and commit violent crimes. Repeat this a few dozen times, doing the same recruiting missions, hearing the same back stories and you can see how this goes from interesting to tedious in just a few playing sessions. Also the way the guards come for you - just slowly whittle them down, outlast them and they stop coming after you. Eventually you are in the space by yourself, no reason to rush. And you will also notice that the mission locations are the same. There is some DLC where you can play as the OG Watchdogs character. It seems like this might have been the original premise but a committee might have decided that rather having a protagonist, just make every npc a potential protagonist, then copy & paste the story over and over and over again. No need for any leveling up, just give them traits that are static. Game also never gets any harder as you progress that I noticed. The way the cops come after you the first time is how they will come after you every time. I think the devs added a new "permadeath" feature to make it more challenging, but there are other games to play that don't need gimmicks like this to make a dull game seem more worthwhile. This game probably has the most choices for wild haircuts and facial piercings I have ever seen. It's a shame because the sandbox world is very cool. There are some interesting gadgets. It's fun to mess around but after a few hours there is not really a draw to come back. The story is lackluster and I wasn't compelled to play it to see it to the end. If your first play session on this game is two hours, you will have seen everything this game has to offer. It turns into a repetitive annoying grind after the novelty quickly disappears. I got it on sale. If you need to buy it, make sure to buy it on some extreme discount. $59 is overpriced.

It could’ve been a great game if the people who made it had even a bit of taste. Decided to give it a chance when I found out it had a "permadeath" mode, where any operative is gone for good once they die. But you just couldn't care less about anything that happens here. Yet again, it all feels like Steve Buscemi saying, "How do you do, fellow kids?". It's unintuitive and tasteless. I regret the time spent on it.

Watch Dogs: Legion is a solid game with a unique concept that definitely caught my attention at first. The idea of being able to choose your main character from any NPC around London was out of the box and pretty fun to mess around with initially. There's something cool about assembling your own "resistance crew" made up of random people—construction workers, old ladies, ex-spies, and everything in between. That said, the novelty wore off after a few hours. It started to feel like a “been there, done that” kind of experience. The missions became repetitive—same hacking, same sneaking, same running around—and even though each recruit had their own background, their tasks and playstyle didn't really change things up much in the long run. The story? Mid. Not bad, not great—just okay. I pushed through it mostly to see how it would wrap up. Thankfully, the ending was satisfying enough. The standout character for me was the AI, Bagley. He brought a lot of personality to the game and kept things entertaining even when the gameplay started to drag. Roaming around London was probably my favorite part. The city is beautifully recreated and has a nice atmosphere that made exploration enjoyable. Overall, it was a fun experience for a while, but the game definitely lost steam halfway through. Worth a play if you're into open-world hacking games, but don't expect it to reinvent the wheel.

Legion is... Interesting to say the least... I actually rather enjoyed it, well, at least the game play. The mechanics on requirement and basically endless playable characters is rather niche, and takes a while to get used to, but it was pretty enjoyable with the customization with the outfits and skills (Despite the fact you will probably only play as Aiden and Wrench) Is the story as sad and gritty as Watch_Dogs 1? No. Is the story as fun and wholesome as Watch_Dogs 2? No. Story is shit, but ngl I prefer the hacking in this game (except net-hack, waht happened ubi ??) Lightly put, the map is NOT the best. It is JUST the city of London, not even. You can't even go outside the city or the outskirts, just a concrete jungle, so no off-roading like in 1 and 2. Essentially, pretty fun gameplay that gets time to get used to, aigh't combat, and funny melee mechanic that actually isn't too bad. Still, just buy ultimate on sale or something, 80% off for watch_dogs 1 complete and the best characters is a pretty good deal.

I actually think this is the best WD game. I like how you play as anyone and everyone, and you can customize each operative as you see fit. Makes the fast travel interesting too. Sad they probably wont make another WD.

[h1]Let me first start by thanking all the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect users with regards to them beta testing this game for roughly 3 years.[/h1] Now then, the game takes place in London and therefore I was expecting to get stabbed within the first half hour of playing, at the most. That did not happen... Hell, I [b]HAVEN'T[/b] even been stabbed [b]ONCE[/b] in 85 hours. What am I doing wrong? I mean it's not "UK Simulator" but still... All jokes aside though, it's a pretty fun game. Definitely not for everyone, definitely surrounded by controversy and negativity, some warranted, some of it a tad unjust, but some people still have been, are and will continue to enjoy it, myself included. It has good graphics, cool mechanics and the overall "Ubisoft Formula" that some hate and some love, and, granted, it does have the ever-present sprinkle of some wasted potential, but hey, at least it's still better than "Dragon Age: The Veilguard". Enough said. [b]8/10[/b] - First, the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/TheSpartanLegend/recommended/307690?snr=1_5_9__402]"Sleeping Dogs"[/url] game tricked me since there were no dogs to be found anywhere in the game, sleeping or otherwise. Then came along this one, and again, there are no dogs to watch anywhere. Fool me once, fool me twice...[b]BUT WHEN WILL IT END?![/b]

I have poor taste in everything, so I enjoy playing the (most likely) final Watch Dogs game. Ubisoft's rendition of London is an awesome open world that's fun to explore. If you like other open-world games from Ubisoft and horribly bad voice acting, this game is for you.

Quite boring. Navigation and map markers are annoying, driving is not fun, stealth is easily broken and then all hell breaks loose. The concept of "everybody is playable" is nice though.

Alright, here’s a hot take — Legion is actually the best Watch Dogs game. Now before anyone flips, I do prefer the tone of Watch Dogs 1. It had this cold, gritty energy that made it feel different — kind of like a tech-noir thriller. You’re not gonna get that feel again. It’s one of a kind. And Watch Dogs 2? Easily the most polished. It was fun, had a ton of personality, and felt like a step forward in every way. But it also felt like a glimpse at what this series could be. Then Legion comes in and actually does it. The whole “play as anyone” thing isn’t just a gimmick. It changes everything. You're not just picking a character — you’re building a resistance. Everyone plays different. You want a construction worker with a wrench and a cargo drone? Done. You want a spy with a silenced pistol and a car that vanishes off radar? Go for it. And the permadeath option? That was genius. Suddenly, every mission matters. You can’t just throw bodies at a problem. You actually care who makes it out. Yeah, the story has its weak spots. Some of the characters feel a little shallow depending on who you’re using. But as a full package? It hits. The world is dense, London feels alive, and the way the systems connect — from recruiting to hacking to combat — makes it way more fun than it gets credit for. So yeah — 1 had the mood. 2 had the vision. But Legion is where it all comes together. Easy 9/10 for me.

Two years later, it's not all that horrible. I get the hate for it, as it was a special kind of hot garbage at release, but it runs pretty stable now. Sure, it is VERY different in comparison to the other games, but it also has some upsides that I generally found enjoyabe, even if the features the game advertised so hard weren't all too major. And, of course, you can get shitfaced at a pub. Peak game feature. Overall, not half bad of a game.

I remember being so excited for Legion after playing 1 and 2. Still may be one of the worst games I've ever played without exaggeration.

★☆☆☆☆ The Runt of the Litter Watch Dogs: Legion takes what made Watch Dogs 2 great—building Marcus into an unstoppable hacking tour de force—and replaces it with “play as anyone,” which really means “play as nobody interesting.” Every character fights the same. My spy has the same combo as my hacker and my beekeeper. Health upgrades? Completely pointless. You still drop in five hits instead of four. Wow. Melee is stiff, and by the time you’re deep into the game, stealth completely falls apart—especially when shotgun enemies start phasing in from nowhere like the Predator. Permadeath is pushed as “the way to play,” but I had to restart three times after losing every operative. It wasn’t suspenseful. It was just exhausting. You spend hours recruiting people, only to watch your roster evaporate because one drone decides to lob a grenade mid-fistfight. There’s no real hacking progression. No new tools. No skill tree. You’re stuck with the same tricks the whole game while the enemies scale harder. It’s like the devs made Albion stronger but forgot to let you grow at all. And mission instructions? Often vague. Sometimes straight-up unclear. To be fair, London does look incredible. The city feels atmospheric and authentic—even if the storefronts are just empty shells. A few missions stand out (like piloting a micro-drone inside a PC), but they’re rare. The rest? Repetitive, soulless, and forgettable. It feels like an online game without any players. No main character, no emotional anchor, and dialogue that’s dry, recycled, and robotic. It’s all systems. No soul. Play as anyone? Sure. Feel like no one. You don’t build power—you just survive a little longer until the next cheap death. This isn’t a watchdog. It’s a stray. Ubisoft should’ve put it down.

I don't know why people are hating on this game. I love it and i enjoy playing it. The only issue i have is that it does not support first person mode. But overall it is perfect.

1 Hour in and its Fun Enjoying it enjoyed playing the 1st 2 watchdogs also

i beat the main game and then my character said we're the watchdogs so this game SUCKS also ubisoft could not settle on a tone for the entire game

I enjoyed this game. If you enjoy smooth gameplay, using drones, and flying around on a cargo drone then you'll enjoy this game. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about it on release or whatever, but I am still enjoying the heck out of this game.

Ubisoft Launcher prevented me from playing the game because server is down LOOOOLLL As much as I hate ubisoft, I do like the watch dogs series. This has the usual ubisoft open world formula. It gets boring after a while but Futuristic London is pretty cool to explore. Watch Dogs 2 is better. But this does have that "recruit anyone" gimmick. It gets old quick but if you want to minmax and scout for specific NPC with specific traits, you can. What grinds my gear the most is the Prestige Operatives. You HAVE to buy these cool looking Operatives in the game's built in store if you want their clothes. These guys aren't even that good, they just look good but you have to buy them separately since they don't come with the Ultimate Edition. They've also abandoned the series. So the legacy of watch dogs series is dead here. Not at the peak but at their lowest. I enjoyed the hell out of it. But only because I'm a basic bitch Get watch dogs 2 instead yeah cunt

The worst Watch Dogs. The story is extremely forgettable and I do not remember any character from this game, not a single moment or character is memorable. Gameplay is worse than the second entry, and even the environment was relatively dull and uninteresting in my opinion. The over-the-top tech coupled with the futuristic and dystopian setting is unappealing, compared to the previous, more realistic games. I got the Platinum on PS4 but it was a mind-numbing experience overall. [b]5/10[/b]

Not worth 60 euro. 5 euro tho? I think so. Running around as a hacker assassin grandma is fun for a couple hours, but that's about it. I'd play the game way more often if it wasn't 100gb to download just to play for an afternoon. Get it on sale, but never at full price. Also the multiplayer doesn't really work.

Boring and very easy gameplay, lots of bugs that ruin the fun of the game

This game just good at the map,but without the map,everything is very worth.Compared with watch dogs 2 it less a lot of the hacking options and the weapons.Also,this game have some bug too!Like the npc will spawn randomly and you will crash with them when you are driving.After playing for 17 hours,I find the game will crash for unknown reason,althought I tried many ways to fix it,but all if them didn't worjk.So I decided to unstall it,but luckily,I buy it on the sale,so I can avoid to spend around 10 pounds to this rubbish and a not finished thing

$160CAD for the ultimate edition I don't even need to say anything else The worst writing of any game I've ever played probably lmfao, honestly the most cringe phoned in bs Some of the most boring missions of all time Some of the worst most stretched thin character customisation Reused world from previous games A lack of main character, or at least interesting characters? until they shoehorned some in through paid DLC with no explanation BLEGH All this surrounds one impressively intricate gameplay mechanic that, if done right, could have made this one of my favourite games. Another dud from scumbag Ubisoft! Its fun to mindlessly mess around in. I really have a lot of fun playing it, like others have said it completely lacks taste. Somehow its a game I know I will come back to. I cannot recommend it lol

This game is kinda not good. It feels like such a downgrade of Watch Dogs 2. Melee is now the main focus and it is just so weird: can't dodge away from grabs, guard breaks lead to counter from the enemy who is supposedly guard broken. Story and characters, well they are just goons, like you literally just play as a side character. You are literally thrown in at like midgame point or something and the very first tutorial safehouse has 4 or 5 audio collectibles which are podcasts and they take probably 10 or more minutes to end and any interaction ends them, so you just have to stand there... and wait... or do the downgraded dance, like can you believe it? The dance is downgraded. My ranking goes like: 2>1>Bad Blood>Legion The only thing that was good about this game was the intro.

The worst things about this game turned out to be true after all. Laggy, freezing, crashing and so on

the story is awesome and i really like the gameplay even tho there are alot of bugs and crashes/ but i do not think this game should be so expensive. i recommend buying it only on sale

it was a good experience bought it for my ps5 too, but this game is really boring i like watch dogs 2 better.

Worst Watch dogs game ever but I enjoyed every damn 41 hours with all my life. I mean come on; you can become a grandma and kill cops with a spider robot!

this game have a great story and graphic , one thing bad is is always crashing in the middle of the game xd but is still worth to play :)

dont buy this poo. even if its $2 on sale, that money is better spent elsewhere like a drain or under a couch. do not buy this game

its fun but i cant use a ps5 controller with out using my keyboard to help. if you unlock a character with a real gun no other character can use it. the gun sounds are not that good. but all together 6/10

black mirror the game but with a touch of police brutality and gang violence lets you kill politicians, cops and gangsters which is always fun :3

The game is fun and full of things to do HOWEVER it is challenging. I am playing on Resistance mode so if all Dedsec members die or get arrested you have to start the whole game again so that makes you more cautious when dealing with Albion.

I love this game, i know the bad, but i played it on my xbox and i have to say it was better on there, it needs a really good pc, i dont have one of those, but i did see a lot of bugs that were not there when i played on the xbox one, if you want to play this, play it on there, not on a pc.

My game geeting crashed I don't know why game is not optimize honestly I read many quora ,,reviews

The game is alright but make sure and add the Ubisoft Connect to your "non steam" game library and launch from steam, That should fix the constant login requests. This goes for any Ubisoft game you bought on steam.

Stepping into Watch Dogs: Legion was a fantastic experience, and I can confidently say the story in this game was nothing short of amazing. For me, it couldn't have been better; it felt perfect in every single way. The narrative, the characters, and the overall progression were just outstanding and kept me completely engrossed from start to finish. And what a joy the combat was in this game! It was truly amazing, a real and significant improvement from the first two Watch Dogs titles. The gunplay, the hacking integration, and just the overall feel of engagements were so much better. It felt refined, responsive, and genuinely fun, which really elevated the entire experience. Overall, Watch Dogs: Legion completely delivered. With its perfectly crafted story and vastly improved combat, it's definitely a highlight for me in the series.

This game is not that bad as a lot of people say it is, maybe they have a lot of bugs or something but i don't, maybe there is a couple bugs here and there but they don't bother me. One of the only things that bother me is that there is a very small amount of enterable interiors. The story is pretty good and the gameplay is too

One of the best story focused games ive ever played, i cant understand why the reviews are mixed. The game is amazing, WD trilogy must be on your must play list

ok so for me i can say the wd legion haters are overreacting because i think the gameplay is amazingly great! yes the story may be mid but i think it just has missing lore.for new players going to try this game i reccomend getting watch dogs 2 and 1 before playing!but i am not forcing

After tinkering with settings and a lot of testing, turns out the cause of the issues were the new NVIDIA drivers, since I down grade the drivers no performance/crash issues, nice idea of being able to control any npc in the game, the story is shallow but good game-play, definitely worth it if you get the game on sale

its ok, playing as wrench was fun alot better voice acting then alotta the ai voices but i liked it regardless enough to play it multiple times on different platforms... ON SALE mind you, dont buy the full price till ubisoft figures they shi out. ONLINE IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF HELL THINK OF EVERYTHING PEOPLE COMPLAINED BOUT SINGLE PLAYER FOR BUT 80000X WORSE this wrench 2.0 seeming less and less worth it by the day, random explosions enemys with god level health as soon as i get this outfit im never touching online again lmfaoooo - tip use controller if you do decide to put yourself thru this hell. for some reason the endless waves of spawning enemys stopped as soon as i swapped. idk why but it works.

Watch dogs 1 was the best Watch dogs 2 was so-so but this one.... I mean its not a bad game, its still playable and to a degree fun but the story is not so deep. The character switching ideas was not bad but i would tie this functionality with skills or skills + equipment that need certain skills like flying construction drones. They did it so that not only skills but also gadgets + weapons are limiting to the character. Some character can use x and some can use only y. Its frustrating that you have a certain character specialisation and he / she can't use proper weapons.

I would like to enjoy the game, but Ubisoft support with their incompetence won't allow me since I can't recover my account since 28 April 2025

Makes you download 40+ gb of language files you do not need just make it the language your in wtf is this. and like 20gb of ultra textures, please make it optinal atleast so others dont waste storage even if its an easy fix also they didnt even bother adding all the dlc to the watch dogs collection bundle would make the deal even more appealling tbh

Man this poor game I thought it was ok but def far from a great game its cool being able to play as any npc however it ensured we will never see another watch dogs game as it did not do well Bagley is worth playing it tho love sarcastic and sassy a.i. worth it on sale tho for sure

Really good game, all these stupid bad reviews don't even matter, although I wish there were multiple endings to the story. This game is fun, especially you can get creative with how you approach each mission with different operatives. Also London in this looks so cool.

story i dont get i got an old lady on my team i dont get this game cool graphics and they need help on the talking part bc when there not talking theres someone speaking but her lips arnt moving its kinda delayed

Story has no real significance. I found myself skipping through the cutscenes and fast traveling everywhere to end the game as soon as I could. Definitely the worst Watch Dogs game so far. Would not recommend.
