Rather than focusing on novelty marketing points like “play as anyone.” I’d want to see the hacking theme in future editions explored out to set the franchise different from other open-world games. It isn’t bad, but neither is it very noteworthy. The game’s third-person gameplay is adequate. Unfortunately, it appears that the focus on hacking has shifted. The best encounters are when they don’t even aware you’re there-solving a task almost entirely by manipulating cameras, panels, and items to clear the route to a goal. And nearly anything electronic using your phone. Sure, you can play Watch Dogs Legion like Grand Theft Auto or any other chaotic open-world game.īut the absolute joy comes from hacking cameras, panels, locks, automobiles. The power to hack anything and anyone has always been a part of Watch Dogs’ fantasy, and it’s still true now. Legion’s story falls flat when you combine the game’s thin political foundations with the “play as anyone” feature’s lack of a compelling protagonist to identify with. It has the potential to say a lot, yet it doesn’t say anything at all. You can’t have a game about resisting an oppressive authoritative force without it being political.īut it never really delves into the actual difficulties that would lead to and result from such a political dystopia. WatchDogs Legion PS5 is a story that is both terribly on the nose and exceedingly dull and sanitized. A cosmetic alteration since every character played the same and can wield the same weapons, gear, and skills. Swapping characters became, for the most part. Losses had a lot more of an impact as I lost the skillsets that particular characters had. It felt a little like XCOM with permadeath turned on as I built up my “legion.” I put a little more thought into who I brought in and who I sent out on missions. Playing with permadeath turned on made this “play as anyone” option significantly more engaging for me. Currently, the system is nothing more than a novelty. It was pushing you to participate more with the recruitment system to form a cohesive team. It would have been interesting to see particular skills or tech restricted to specific people. Relying on DeadSec-wide tech and upgrades and essentially ignoring specific character benefits. You may realistically play through the majority of the game as a single character. While some of this element is there, it isn’t nearly as strong as it may be. I would have liked to see the more diverse attributes played up a little more to create an incentive to seek out and recruit team members based on the tasks you would go on and how you wanted to execute them. Some even had a combination of positive and bad qualities, such as a fighter I recruited who was a “glass cannon,” doing a lot of damage and taking a lot of it. Others will have powers such as speedier hacking times, ability bonuses, and increased combat capabilities.
Captured opposite members could be sentenced to less time in prison if someone in the legal system intervenes. After an injury, medical characters may reduce the amount of time your characters are off their feet. Anyone and everyone to rise against the wicked corporation Albion.Įach citizen has unique qualities that might help your opposite team or assistance in games. The hacker rebel group DeadSec needs to stir the pot that is starting to boil within the city and recruit citizens. Anyone who has played the previous two games will recognize the general open-world gameplay. PS5 Watch Dogs Legion is, at its essence, a Watch Dogs game. Despite its innovative premise and innovations, it cannot break out from the classic “Ubisoft open-world” template. Despite the PS5’s power and potential Watch Dogs Legion PS5 feels trapped in the middle of console generations. Allowing you to join any NPC in the enormous London area as a playable character (can we still call them that?). The new Ubisoft title nearly begs for next-gen.
