Sadly for developer Ubisoft Montreal, the original “Watch Dogs” game will go down in history as nothing short of a critical disappointment. Trailer hype initially sold the original entry in the franchise, and that same hype turned customers and bystanders alike against what was being offered by the Ubisoft studio. But sales are what matter and the financial success of “Watch Dogs” guaranteed a sequel even if a vocal part of the gaming community was condemning it for being a shell of its self shown to the world two years prior. But unlike other game developers who block out all the negativity when it comes to a release, Ubisoft Montreal wanted to make things better with the eventual sequel. Featuring a different setting, characters, and improved gameplay, “Watch Dogs 2” was a stylish, fundamentally sound, thoroughly enjoyable game featuring rock solid game play, brain-twisting puzzles, and a group of characters that, while annoying and culturally satirical at times, were people you not only wanted to root for, but also wouldn’t mind living in their world alongside them for a while. The revolution continues and it’s time to head across the pond for some first impressions of “Watch Dogs: Legion”.
