Should You Buy Watch Dogs Legion in 2024? (Review)

- I finally got around to playing the third installment in the Watch Dogs franchise, over 3 years since I first preordered the game. When I first tried playing it, it didn’t hook me like previous Watch Dogs games had done, and so I just left the game, and only returned recently to see if I was missing out on anything significant. I absolutely love Watch Dogs 2, and I also really enjoyed the original Watch Dogs game, so I was curious to see how Watch Dogs Legion improves on the formula. I wasn’t exactly served with what I was expecting from the game, but the game provides very unique mechanics and a fun gameplay system paired with a beautiful setting, albeit with a story that is much worse for wear when compared to the previous two entries. I’ll be breaking down the presentation, story and gameplay of Watch Dogs Legion of course without any spoilers, to see if the game is worth it for you in 2024.

The lack of a main character is this games weakness. There should just be quests to recruit certain specialised characters and then use them for certain specified missions e.g. you need to recruit someone from Clan Kelley, so you can safely infiltrate them. Recruit someone from the ambulance service so you can use an ambulance for a certain mission etc.
As it is, if one of your operatives dies, or is nicked, you just casually pick another character. There's no attachment. No reason to care for them.
Other than that, it's a very good game.
I don't care for them anyways, its dope you can recruit whoever tho
Does the mission where you NEED the construction worker or the Albion guard just not exist anymore???
@@shaunavant532I am pretty sure on the construction worker mission I just took a cargo drone from somewhere else and just did it with that.
@@Azib-rn2td ye but like, he contradicted himself
You can turn permadeath on and if they die then you never can use that charter again if you want.
Honestly despite that I feel like if I do something dumb and lose access to my preferred character it kinda forces me to play someone else with a different style.
It has its pros and cons for sure but honestly I kind of like it, but can also see why others don't
Short answer: you’ll find yourself fast travelling majority of the time, and building your ideal team only to loose them one by one either to propane tanks or not knowing what awaits for you In a mission if you can settle with that then give it a go.
Tbh, they added alot after all the updates. You can customize alot of any person you recruit. Also buy the bloodlines dlc that makes the game even 10 times better!
If possible play the ps5 version and select balanced in options so you get a better framerate.
My answer is: YES
Don't ask too much and bring an opportunity to enjoy this game, puzzles and finding collectibles. I really enjoy playing this game.
Got it for $9 on Xbox a few weeks back. And for $9, it’s really fun, but that’s kind of Ubisofts motto at this point lmao.
Resistance mode fixes this games issues so much. From easy stealth now becoming a tense and thrilling procedure to hacking actually becoming a viable use, this making characters such as the hacker actually usable. Melee combat is preferable to guns, leading to the football hooligan and bare knuckle boxer being usable even though the spy has the strongest melee in the game. And finally resistance mode fixes the idea of just using one recruit, as the one recruit you have developed an attachment to may die any mistep, leading to you recruiting more people whether it be their abilities or just the fact that if they are there that it adds another life to stop a game over.
Exectly.
After all the updates this is one of the most innovative and unique games I have ever played.
And when u fully immerse urself into it and its story (wich I find REALLY interesting tbh, when u know some basic stuff about its terms or search it up. It was a really well made thriller story with so much interesting stuff about the near future.
The style, the animations, the gameplay, the story just everything that was so damn shit at launch is now soooooo compelling after all the changes to the main missions and the story itself wich they changed and added stuff to, just to note that I really do love the commitmend to make this an actual good game after the desaster development through Corona.
It has the best gameplay, a satisfying story with interesting insides and a pretty tough but true massage in the main game aswell as the DLC & the best online mode out of all the games in the series.
Such a damn good save for this game.
Its just sad that the change it did gets no attention like the Cyberprunk improvements.
Eventhough that game is nothing but a copy of FarCry and Watch Dogs and still not what they promised us, but well....
I guess its Ubisofts hella bad reputation that just nobody gives this game a chance again.
What I don't like about the graphics is the art direction. It looks a bit like arch-viz - it has no real flair to it but it looks like they went with "realistic" without having the technical capabilities to really pull that off.
I gave it a try. Had a hard time getting into the story without a primary protagonist to follow.
I bought it like a month ago. It is not a bad game. It is a good sandbox game. It is a bad Watch Dogs game though. It is bad because you have no central protagonist you can connect to and the story and other characters are a bit weak. On the other side as a sand box game it works great. Just recruit whoever you want with whatever skills you need and you are set for your next mission. Find someone with gunkata skill and you play John Wick. Use character with news drone and you don't need to enter the area to photo the evidence and so on. Ubisoft did not disapoint with London itself. They just know how to build the cities and the atmosphere. Can't talk about dlc's because I did not buy them.
Got this game for 10 dollars at walmart the other day...not enjoying it in the slightest i find myself constantly checking my phone or watching youtube instead of playing the game
But yet, you watch a video of the game ...Go nap buddy
@arkhamknight6371 cause I wanted to see what other people thought of the game? You should go nap buddy it isn't a crime to watch a review video
@@reject1012 Sure, naptimeeeeee 😴
@@reject1012 I'm surprised you got time to watch the video, or read people's comments, you know with you constantly checking your phone n watching CZcams...🤡
@arkhamknight6371 you know I can see your deleted comment in my notifications right? What's your deal? Why you being an ass? Do you not have anything better to do than to be an ass to strangers on the internet? Dam bro im just trying to watch CZcams videos in my free time yeah you heard me right free time some of us got jobs bozo and next time you say something so rude don't click send cause people can still see the reply in their notifications
I roleplayed the **** out of the characters and I actually really enjoyed the game. Maybe even more than the goofier Watch Dogs 2.
I personally was able to somehow connect to "the cause" as the main protagonist... not characters, but DeadSec.
I also found a super cool drone operator who had my name and was born in the same month as me, so I kinda connected to him.
Pre-ordered this game. The diverse open-world made me lose track of the main story for the fact that you can almost do anything you want, which is both good & bad at the same time. Story-wise it's the least favourite from all 3 games, but gameplay wise, it's on par with the 2nd game.
The story wasn’t bad it was a lil interesting to me I like Nigel cass he was somewhat a good villain and so was Mary Kelly
the matrix awakening messed everything, unreal engine is crazy.
Not far into the game, but I think its fun so far. I probably would've felt slightly ripped off had I paid full whack, but I got it for like a tenner, so I'm not complaining. Also not bothered about the lack of one individual protagonist that many people are crying about. I'm enjoying building my squad of weirdos running about in underwear and bare feet. You make it what you make it as far as I'm concerned, so I've made it funny. As for lack of story, if I wanted a story I'd read a book. I want to hack stuff and cause trouble 🤷🏼♂️ My verdict: People whinge too much about trivial shit. Stop looking for negatives in everything and actually try enjoying stuff. This is a decent game. I still definitely prefer WD2 though, I won't lie.
I loved watch dogs 2. Skipped watch dogs 1 because a buddy was super hyped but then really disappointed when it originally came out. When they announced this one, I was really surprised that they took a risk with trying to do something creative with making any npc playable. But I didn’t get as into legion. I been wanting to go back to it. The season pass is on sale and so is the complete edition of 1. So I’m debating if I wanna just play 1 or if I want to expand on legion if I decide to get back into it.
Idk I felt like plenty of my operatives had nice backgrounds. Like one of my operatives joined cause dedsec helped her when her friend was going to be wrongfully deported. Another one took longer to hire cause they had a loved one who was killed working with dedsec making them distrusting of the group.
i enjoy playing as aiden again. People hate him but I enjoyed his character and playing as an older griseled version of him is fun and just nice to get a true watch dogs 2 in my opinion
Got ps plus and went into the game knowing nothing about it and I love it
I didn't play it for a year due to the bugs that made the game crash, but once fixed, it was better than I thought, but would play watchdogs 2 more than this game.
If i buy season pass thats include the bloodline story? Need answer pls
Hi! I have a question, when we finish the game, are ennemies always here? When we clear a zone with a lot of ennemies, are they refresh after a moment or not? Sorry for the question but i want to but this game, in my country it costs 10 bucks and just want to know if after the end of the game, i can just free roam with ennemies! :) thanks for you attention 😁
Yeah you can free roam with enemies still in those areas
@@deucesmith8275 Ha okay cool! Thank you for the answer 👌🏼 Do you enjoy the game ?
@@LeGrandMechantLuI do enjoy the game. People complain for everything. I try to focus in the missions, find collectibles and much more. It is a really good game if you stop complaining about some features. For 10 bucks is a gift👍🏻
@@LeGrandMechantLureally fun game specially when you get a hit man or a spy an I brought some characters like Aiden an Darcy the assassin I’ll say this game is a fun engaging game I be collecting stuff an doing side quest an be forgetting bout the main story
Solid review my guy👌🏾
It gets heavily discounted during the major steam sales. So yeah short answer. Buy it on a discount during sales and never on full price😅
If Ubisoft is not thinking about taking your game from the store after you buy yes you should buy.
It has the best graphics of any TPS you can find and although you are doing mostly the same thing it is fun to play and interesting.
The story is like spying stuff,people don't need to like it at all.
Just try and have fun.
I''ll never get pass that when you hire someone who works in a company then use him to get inside the company his own work mates suspect him xD that makes 0 sense and break the whole immersion, also the voice acting sucks, it's embarrassing
Watch dogs was unique with hacking like AC at the beginning , i really liked it , maybe still liked it i spend tons of hours in WD2 online hacking invasions trolling other players , but they killed it with Legion , Its funny how Ubisoft killed WD and AC no one trust ubisoft anymore and just some people waiting for their new games what they have to offer ? new copy paste dying AC ?? Skull and shit , i mean bones , or Star Wars Outlaws ? XD im sure this game will be another overpriced copy paste AC, story for 15h and shit everywhere on map + microtransactions with skins ,
they forgot what games are, why and for whom
Always wanted gta London and just bought legion gold for £17
The hand to hand combat was so fun
I got it a week ago and i am lovin it 👍
I play watch dog 2 its very good idk if watch dog legion is better it looks cool
I think the story was just dry. At first i loved it. But i felt like when u shot someone for an example it wasnt a big deal no limping or anything mostly lack of realism in general!
I recently turned my copy of "Watch Dogs Legion"....I had it since it released but let me tell you why I sold it ...first things first when this first released I super pumped on buying this game. I was curious about the multiple protagonist characters & couldn't wait to see London's open world. After I beat the game ...I wanted to start over to play side quest I haven't gotten into during my first play. Here's where I disconnect with this...after about 3 hours playing I guess my anticipation high wore off cuz I started to get very bored with the game. I find myself doing the same thing over & over with no room for new discoveries. The multiple characters personality is so bland i find watching the paint on the wall more exciting...then it's the radio....I dug some of the UK Pop, Rap, & the House music...the talk radio was doo doo....it was nothing that GTA's Lazo would be bothered with....I like the city, liberating districts, I like speeding thru London's narrow streets when i evade the police & taking down "Mary Kelly" & her team "Clan Kelly" gang was cool ....other than that it didnt keep my interest long. Now I'll say this playing the DLC with "Aiden Pierce" made me wanted to get back to London.....but other than that the game was a pure miss......
🕹️🤔🕹️🤔🕹️🤔🕹️🤔
My awnser: yes, I like drifting in cars too
Legion is firee! Just got it
They always said the army is & government is 10 years ahead with electronics… just pay attention to this game
Buy Watch Dogs 2 if you haven’t played it before, either on PC or XSX (due to fps boost) because it is such a overlooked underrated GEM. San Francisco is AMAZING to explore, characters are fun but not very deep, story could’ve been better if it didn’t try to take itself serious at the end but overall WD2 is a SOLID 8/10.
WD1 7/10
WD2 8/10
WDL 5/10
For me I had fun with it, just do whatever you want really in the game
Awesome video! Extremely informative and well structured. 🎉🎉🎉
I'm in the minority of people that doesn't like the WD main stories and characters. And couldn't stand WD 2 for that reason despite the awsome gameplay, so the lack of a main character in Legion, ironically, is a plus for me.
I grabbed the ultimate edition for 20 bucks, a more than fair price that allows me enjoy the game for what it is.
This is like four bucks right now so I'm here loved pt 2
I got it to £4.00 for cex
the answer is yes only if you want to play bloodline
is the ultimate edition worth buying or nah??.
did you like watch dogs 2 and the new assassins creed games?
id say get it it has so much content
@@Demetrix13 bruh to be frank i haven't played none of these games. right now i just wanna hear opinions about this game. but i'll buy watch dogs legion for sure but im in doubt buying ultimate edition.
YES!
Warning... If you connect your console online after unlocking assasin outfit, logging into ubisoft deletes that outfit😑
I enjoying the Watch Dogs Legion. Special online. London map is beautiful and many vehicles, gameplay is nice.
Watch Dogs 2 - San Francisco map is beautiful and many vehicles.
Watch Dogs - Missions difficultfor me.I don't like it.
My answer:yes
simple answer: no. buy watch dogs or watch dogs 2
I played it and in the end my team fallen so those fkers didn't let me load the last save
I love Playing Watch Dogs: Legion. Especially U can Play Anyone that u See. Cause I don't really like Being Attached to One Character like other Games. Watch Dogs: Legion is one of the #01 Game that I Play. Which I love 💞 Switch Between Characters alot. But overall this Game has More Hours Played then all my 94 Games that I have in my Steam Library.
I Love the Game. IT needs more time to get in
The dlc is good though, and the game is dirt cheap so
The goat hasn’t been active in a month
Perhaps he is dead
Here lies eternal
The talk of them all💔💔
Shush I'm alive
Cant ride the trains 😂😂😂
Don’t play that game even for free it’s horrible I feel sad how ubishit destroyed that series it was really good the first 2 parts
Hello Eternal talks my name is Isaiah and I have something important to say to you. God loves you and like any father he wants to help you and keep you safe especially from the devil. But I am not just speaking to you about this I am also talking to your fans about this. God loves you all and especially in the times we our living in we are in need of him more than ever. But the choice is ultimately yours have a nice day Shalom Shalom.
my answer: no
I only started playing it because it’s free for ps+ extra, and I’m really enjoying it so far tbh. I know after I finish it I’m gonna delete it and never touch it again, but it’ll definitely be a game to remember.
Fax, I beat Watchdogs 1 & 2 but could never get into Legion after giving it multiple chances. The only reason I’d ever try it again is to play the dlc with Pierce & Wrench
Who tf doesn’t have the game it came in like 2020
i cant even load into multiplayer
It’s no classic,but am enjoying the game so far about 7/8 hrs in. Not sure why the game has got so many negative reactions.😢
Good game,good new mechanics,meh story, and the worst "london" why did it have to be such a boring setting,any other city would have been fun
Any other city would have been the same exact thing. Good game, good new mechanics, and meh story.
Shut your mouth lol. That city is gorgeous.
UPLOAD a NEW VIDEO RIGHT NOW
Honestly you fell off
FUCK NO!
Play cyberpunk 2077 instead
Cyberbug
@@shaunavant532 maybe connect your xbox one to the internet instead of playing the 2020 release version
@@benfrese3573 what xbox
@@shaunavant532 the one you obviously played Cyberpunk on or you would know it's pretty much bugfree for years by now.
@benfrese3573 don't got one,I got ps and switch. Never played cyberpunk cause people said it was buggy for super long and got wd legion instead, personally it was worth it
State of decay 2 has no main character and I got 4 1/2 stars sooo....
not as comparable, but I get what you mean. It's just the fact the Ubi just dropped a centered MC for anyone, I personally don't mind this change, For others, that's based on the individual who do 'care'
