![]() However, the voice-acting in Watch Dogs: Legion is as awkward as can be and the dialogue is, well, ridiculous, to say the least. Voice-acting and dialogue play a noteworthy part in any form of entertainment be it a movie or a game. Still, I noticed more of this premise on the streets, as I wandered across them than in the actual campaign. Watch Dogs: Legion narrates the experience of the characters under a totalitarian administration called Albion armed soldiers roam around the streets, arresting whoever they desire surveillance drones monitoring you at all times, and citizens protesting for liberty. Rather than being a futuristic redaction of George Orwell’s best-seller, 1984, the narrative’s more of an apathetic and confusing political satire. As the game advanced, the narrative slowly changed from being “preventing the entire city from exploding” to “doing things for others so you can recruit to do more things for others”.Ĭonsidering how auspicious the premise of Watch Dogs: Legion actually is, Ubisoft has completely disregarded the potential. For instance, the Mission Impossible-inspired introduction was rather impressive and certainly unpredictable. There were some instances where the narrative really escalated. ![]() However, that isn’t to say that the narrative was entirely bland. ![]() Watch Dogs is one of my favourite games and Watch Dogs: Legion fails to live up to the precedent set by its predecessors. Yet, when I played the game, it felt to me as if Ubisoft decided to dismiss the narrative completely. Hence, my anticipations from Ubisoft were a lot, particularly when I came to know that Aiden Pearce (the protagonist in the first installment) would be making a re-appearance in Watch Dogs: Legion. As such, I was less enticed by the premise of Watch Dogs 2, which focused on liberation and anonymity - a dubious and unfocused narrative. While the open-world setting of the game had me exploring it for hours, the narrative bored me with its ominous dialogue and dull premise.įor me, the narrative and premise is the most important part of any game! I was fascinated by the hacker/vigilante-vengeance premise of the original Watch Dogs. However, this stunning and artistic open-world felt hollow with the bland narrative and clumsy voice-acting. Ubisoft went above and beyond to render an authentic and true-to-life depiction of London it’s dull streets and sophisticated infrastructure really encompasses the atmosphere of both Chicago and San Francisco. Watch Dogs: Legion is based in an extremely aesthetic and charming environment. However, I soon had to lower my expectations when I actually played the game! Hence, I anticipated much from Watch Dogs: Legion when Ubisoft announced it during the Ubisoft Forward event. Then came the sequel, bringing humour and satire to the dull and melancholic narrative. Watch Dogs has always had an enticing narrative! The original game featured a hacker vigilante, Aiden Pearce, seeking revenge for his niece all-the-while protecting his family from the jeopardies that came with him being a wanted criminal.
