“Watch Dogs: Legion's bold use of roguelike mechanics in an open-world action game pays off in interesting ways, making this visit to near-future London feel more varied than the previous two games.”

Professional Reviews
3 reviews from 3 critics“Ubisoft’s sequel manages to pull off some intriguing body‑invasion horror with its technological premise, but the forgettable characters, especially within the titular legion itself, leave it a game destitute of feeling.”
“The game has no tact and is never subtle, yet it insists on skirting around hot‑button issues with the lighthearted nature that made Watch Dogs 2 popular.”
