Early reviews of Watch Dogs Legion have started to trickle out, and it’s seeming like the game has at least somewhat delivered on something that might be worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While GGN was much too small for Ubisoft to want to consider for a review copy, my review will be coming sometime next week after I get a chance to play it and explore the stealth gameplay in earnest. In the meantime, let’s enjoy Ars Technica’s take<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the chief complaints are towards what you’d expect from an Ubisoft open world game: Repetitive quests, iffy NPC interaction, and a requirement that you just accept some things as.. “Sure, why not”. The fact that everybody can be convinced to join you with minimal effort, and that everybody can be a hacker is more than a little bit of a stretch, is a little “eh”, but it’s still an interesting and unique game mechanic that everybody is available to be a tool in your government-overthrowing cog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That recruitment process, as presented in\u00a0Legion<\/em>, requires the player to suspend more than a little bit of disbelief. You can go up to literally any random person in the game, push a button, and start a\u00a0completely<\/em>\u00a0unprompted conversation about potentially violent overthrow of the system.<\/p>-Ars Technica Review of Watch Dogs Legion<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
