The ability to play as any character also plays an important role in the gameplay. Anyone can be recruited through a special mission that acts as a favor, convincing them to join the cause. It is also important to maintain a full stock of recruits. Otherwise, you may be stuck and unable to carry on progress with your team. The different types of characters you can recruit all have unique skills and abilities. Some can blend in and avoid the police just by doing their normal work. Others have access to unique attacks. There is a beekeeper who can shoot bees or a tech savvy who can shock enemies.

Watch Dogs: Legion also takes a unique approach to permanent deaths. You fail certain objectives or fail badly and it is definitely possible for playable characters to die. Once they are gone, you need to recruit other characters to replace them, losing all updates in the process. It adds real danger to the process and changes the way you approach each scenario. While this option can be turned off, keeping it turned on creates a much more interesting experience.


Outside of these elements, Watch Dogs: Legions gameplay is of the kind you’d expect from a Ubisoft title. In fact, the core mechanics are identical to what appeared in Watch Dogs 2. This essentially makes the title look like a cross between Grand Theft Auto and a hacking simulator. Players must use their gear to access DeadSec’s various networks, taking control of everything from drones to cameras. It all works fine even though it may seem slightly dated, even with the new features.
