All the cities major landmarks are recreated, and the streets of London are recreated from their real-world counterparts. London has never looked so good the muted neon pallet gives the city a mysterious beauty that will make players anxious to dive in and start revealing the cities secrets. Ubisoft Toronto went above and beyond in the detail department. Watch Dogs: The Legion title takes place in the London, in the near future.

Do not get me wrong, a lot of them I could not have cared less about, but a select few I did. I played with the permadeath setting on and it was pretty brutal when some of my characters died. It is pretty amazing what they have done here and you may think that this would have it so you do not feel a connection to the characters, but that is not the case at all. Each character has their own personality and set of skills. Ranging from an athletic parkour dude to a little old lady. The big “gimmick” of Watch Dogs: Legion was that they would allow you to take control of pretty much any NPC that is in London. There is driving, hacking, and other cool stuff you would expect from the series. Or, you can use stealth, perhaps using a character’s abilities to get through. You can tackle missions in any way that you want, you can go in like a force of nature trying to muscle your way through it. The core gameplay is pretty much the same as it was in Watch Dogs 2 and I do not mean that in a negative way. There are also a ton of side missions located throughout London too. One thing that I thought was a lot of fun was the liberating of the different boroughs in London. However, it is all of the side content that the game has that truly makes this a massive experience. You of course have your story missions that will take up a lot of your time.

Like most other Ubisoft open-world games, Watch Dogs: Legion is stacked with content, so much that it can feel a bit overwhelming at the time.

It may go on just a tad too long, but for the most part, I was fully invested in what was going down. It is a pretty neat story with a lot of moving parts. DedSec also wants to help people in London be free from this oppressive rule. Another aspect of the story is that London is being ruled by an oppressive military force called Albion.
