WATCH DOGS LEGION

“HALF THE TIME I’M PLAYING, I STRUGGLE TO REMEMBER MY CHARACTERS’ NAMES.”

The premise of Watch Dogs Legion is simple: London is in the grip of tyrannical private security firm Albion, and anyone in its open world is a potential playable character who can join your hacker group to take back control. While Legion makes this work technically, it’s very surface-level, resulting in a lifeless entry in the series.

After the brief tutorial, everyone you play is essentially a random person you’ve recruited, starting with one and increasing in number as you profile individuals with your phone, then complete cookie-cutter missions to win them over.
