I dropped off this pretty much straight away when it came out due to the constant crashes on One S, and then the inability to save on Series X, by the time that was fixed I was playing Cyberpunk and wasn't in the mood to jump in to another dystopian cyberpunk-ish future city.
When Watch Dogs 2 got the 60fps update I tried that again (I dropped that after 5-6 hours a few years ago, not sure why). I really enjoyed it on the second attempt and finished it last week, it gave me the urge to try Legion again.
Coming back to Legion from Watch Dogs 2, I think I'm more underwhelmed than I was the first time. It feels devoid of any of the personality that 2 has. The lack of a singular protagonist and the recruits not having much of any personality (with voices and looks that frequently don't fit) doesn't help, but it's much more beyond that. The supporting characters are all bland, It feels like there's far less variety in what the NPCs can be doing around London, and the soundtrack isn't a patch on 2's
Then the city of London itself. It's dirty, gloomy, grubby and not at all pleasant to travel around (I know, that's London). There's way less variety to the locations and all the residents seem like miserable aggressive arseholes (I know, I know; London). I get they're going for a dystopian future with rubbish and graffiti everywhere to an exaggerated level but it just makes the world not much fun to spend time in, especially compared to WD2's sunny, chilled San Francisco.
Graphics are pretty nice, as is most of the ray tracing, but there's sometimes there's wet or shiny floors that look like you're walking/driving on a polished mirror that look ridiculous.
The above wouldn't be too bad if the missions and gameplay were at least on par with the 2nd one but it feels like a huge step backwards in that regard too. The cargo drone is way too OP allowing you to essentially bypass a lot of missions by flying to the top of buildings it seems were designed for you to infiltrate and dropping a spider drown down. I did a mission yesterday where I had to sneak through a Blume building to a lift but there's a locked exit door you can't hack from the outside next to it for you to make an escape at the end of the mission. I went straight there because that's where the map marker was and a bad guy walked out the door allowing me to run through and bypass it all. WD2 made me feel like I was figuring out one of many ways to use my gadgets to get the job done (almost like a basic version of Hitman), Legion just makes me feel like I'm cheesing a badly designed level every time.
I also don't get why they took away the phone features from WD2. Songsneak, The ability to play music while walking around, Cars on Demand, ScoutX locations to take pictures, The Uber type mini game app.
I'll probably stick with it for now, but it's by far the weakest of the three for me so far.
