9/14/2023 0 Comments Legion ubisoftIts skies are dense with autonomous drones patrolling the streets and ferrying parcels streets are filled with a mix of old gas-guzzlers and Tesla-style self-driving cars and its landmarks are emblazoned with corporate-fascist banners and bright holographic projections. It can be rough and experimental in places, but I have to hand it to Ubisoft for being willing to take chances like this.Legion’s map is a vision of a near-future London metropolitan area, and similar to Watch Dogs 2’s compressed version of the San Francisco Bay Area it is beautifully detailed and immediately recognizable – but this time it’s also starkly different from how we know it. 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. 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.
