Like any standard open world game, there are a variety of collectibles, many vehicles you can hijack and gorgeous scenery to embrace which makes for a very good time. With all that being said, the open world itself is very delightful to explore. This felt very impersonal and didn’t really inspire me to want to get to know them per say. To me this feels much more rewarding than just rotating between a number of different characters. I much preferred the previous 2 entries, where you take control of Adrian Pearce and Marcus Holloway, and you could build up their techniques and characteristics to make them a fully fledged and fleshed out. The gadgets each operative come equipped with can be pretty cool to use, one of them being a Spider Bot, which is small enough to access vents, sneak through enemies mostly undetected, providing you don’t linger too close to them and can hack certain objects for you which may be out of your human reach. It sort of just feels like Ubisoft are flexing that you can play whoever you want, but then the game itself gives you very little reason to do so. Using your phone, you analyse NPC’s to decide whether they are viable to join your cause in which you can determine if their skills fit the bill and if they’d bring anything useful to your operations team, which sounds like it should be enjoyable right? Being whoever you want to be in an open world Post Brexit London should be a good time, but for me it just feels kind of dull. Maybe it’s the lack of an actual ‘main character’ as you just kind of flit between a number of operatives, but the characters just sometimes feel flat and uninspired. On this premise, Watch Dogs Legion should be way more enjoyable than it actually is, especially following on from Watch Dogs 2, which personally I really enjoyed. With a game that was advertised to allow you to take control of any NPC you like and have an arsenal of hacking gadgets at your disposal, you’d think it would be consistently fun, but sadly Watch Dogs Legion falls short of the mark.
