It can be rough and experimental in places, but I have to hand it to Ubisoft for being willing to take chances like this. That lends it a much more sandboxy feel than the previous games because any given character can make the same mission feel dramatically different.
Legion’s clever twist makes this third game in the series play like a hacker version of State of Decay, where every NPC can be recruited as a playable character and each has their own weapons, abilities, and traits that can give them very different playstyles. Not so much that I drive more carefully or anything, but after playing Watch Dogs: Legion I think about it a little bit more.
Watch Dogs: Legion Free Download Repacklab After decades of running over pedestrians by the dozen in open-world action games without a second thought, it’s actually a little bit unsettling to think that each of them might have unique talents and even the potential to be a hero.
Back in 2014, Ubisoft were in a bit of a mess.Watch Dogs: Legion Free Download Repacklab The original Watch_Dogs’ graphics downgrade drama and the disappointing technical glitches of Assassin’s Creed Unity almost butchered Ubisoft’s reputation as a leading games developer and publisher. Both were undoubtedly good games at their core but the controversy surrounding them resulted into a negative spin, downplaying the intriguing gameplay both games presented, especially Watch_Dogs since it bought something really unique to the table. Watch_Dogs, although a good game in its own right, had a few shortcomings which pushed the developers back to the drawing board for a couple of years and the result of that is Watch Dogs 2, a new entry in the series starring Marcus Holloway, a much more agile, athletic, flamboyant and interesting character that Aiden Pearce could ever be. Perhaps what makes Marcus such a colorful character are his several off the beat and crazy bunch of hackers that are always head and shoulders above even the most daunting situation. "In the past many years I haven’t played a game from Ubisoft that is so bold in its vision and yet so light hearted and simplistic in its narrative direction." Whether it is Wrench, the most notable member of Dedsec or Sitara, the group’s public image specialist, each of them have a unique trait that sets them apart and yet makes them feel that they are a single, unified part of this crazy secret hacking collective. But don’t take them for granted…they are a talented bunch whose ultimate goal is to stop the exploitation of the common public by taking down the city’s ctOS 2.0, and Blume, the company behind ctOS. Watch Dogs 2’s story borrows a lot from the current social climate and issues. As our lives become more and more digitally dependent, a lot of that data is becoming exposed to outsiders who either exploit to control the masses or sell them to bigger companies for profiling. The game’s story does not even shy away from tackling heavy topics and I am surprised how smartly it manages to handle all of these subjects through some excellent voice acting and beautifully crafted in-game cutscenes. In the past many years I haven’t played a game from Ubisoft that is so bold in its vision and yet so light hearted and simplistic in its narrative direction. However much like many modern open world games, Watch Dogs 2 too struggles to keep its focus on the story.
