The 3 main story threads here follow Nigel Class – head of Albion, Mary Kelly- the leader of clan kelly (a criminal organisation) and Zero-Day – who framed Dedsec for the inciting incident of the game. However, you are required to complete all threads to reach the end in a natural manner, unlike Odyssey where you could end any thread in any order regardless of whether it made sense. It’s a little similar to what Assassin’s Creed Oddyssey did, with there being no ‘one main story’ thread. London is divided and as for the main story you follow 3 story threads which all connect with each other in small ways. He’s like your own personal JARVIS, mixed with a little bit of Claptrap and the robot from Portal 2.Īs for the other characters, well they’re not much to write home about except maybe a couple of them. Let me just say this right now – Bagley quickly starts off as my favorite character, and stays that way until the very end. This leads to Deadsec going under, and it falls upon Bagley to start recruiting people and bringing Deadsec back online, with a former member Sabine helping behind the scenes. At the start of the game, Dedsec is framed by ‘Zero Day’, a mysterious person/organization, to have bombed many of London’s locations. Let’s start with that AI companion – Bagley. However, thanks to some decent quest structure and a jolly good AI companion, it kept my interest long enough to complete the 20-hour story. If you remove the ‘recruit anyone’ part of it, then this game’s basic premise remains quite predictable. Pretty generic you say? Well, I wouldn’t blame you. Watch Dogs Legion follows a similar premise as the previous 2 games: A group of rebels (DedSec) fights against an evil organization (Albion) that uses technology to control society. If you start feeling bored out of it a few hours in, then don’t count on the game’s story to reinvigorate that interest. However, the gameplay loop is something you’re either on board with or not, just like any other Ubisoft open-world game. This changes the way you approach a mission heavily, as you can switch to another operative easily as long as you’re not in combat or inside a restricted area.

Boosting that further certain character types might come with their own personal drones that you can call upon when playing as them. With the abillity tree you can get upgrades to hack certain types of drones and take control.

There are multiple types of drones, from simple security cameras to full on turret-weilding combat drones. In fact, drones were the most hackable object in the game, since this dystopian London has them in abundance. You’ll still be using one button to profile people and hack security camera, drones, cars, traffic, elevators, etc. These certainly provide more control compared to the previous games where hand-to-hand combat was just an afterthought. You get 3 moves – punch, dodge and a ‘break stance’ move which reminded me of prior Assassin’s Creed games. Melee combat has gotten an uplift, and you can now counter enemies with more control. While this keeps the sense of progressions steady and in your control, it still feels a little gimped compared to previous installments. ETO earned in the game isn’t much, so you won’t be able to unlock everything as fast as you might hope. You can buy ‘abilities’ and gadgets from a certain set that the game presents, and you use in-game experience points (ETO) to unlock them. In fact, in some ways you might even say it has regressed.įor starters, there is no ability tree. And that’s about where I stopped getting amazed when I realized that the core gameplay is almost the same as Watch Dogs 2. In fact, about 90% of the gameplay remains the same as it was Watch Dogs 2, it’s just melee combat and recruitment system which see some changes. What seems like just a gimmick isn’t anymore, with the recruitment system being the main crux of the game, not hacking. The game still follows the same set story, but each character you recruit comes with their own (kinda) unique backstory, occupations, and with it- unique abilities. Watch Dogs Legion twists that idea on its head, making every Londoner that you can see recruitable in one way or another. After all, this hasn’t really been done ever in the history of gaming, where NPCs have always been looked upon as just that – Non-Playable Characters. When Ubisoft first revealed Watch Dogs Legion to the public last year, many were skeptical of the promise of ‘Play as any NPC’ that the developer was making.
