Legion offers a refreshing and fun change-up to the Watch Dogs formula that succeeds in letting players forge their own path like never before

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

Dedsec is now openly recruiting for its troubled London branch, giving you a few dozen personalities to manage as you cause chaos and uncover the city's biggest secrets. Does the overall story in Legion suffer by not having a central protagonist? Or has Watch Dogs discovered the future of the franchise?

Watch Dogs fans and more die-hard anarchists among you might enjoy it more, but between the short storylines, underwhelming tech and mission types and the general “everything is on fire” vibe, it just doesn’t rate highly for me.

While Ubisoft presents its best open world to date, the main gameplay hook falls flat.
