The best candidates are those with better hacking capabilities, as you’ll spend 90% of your time trying to figuring out how to open doors. The same goes for recruiting folk - you can’t actually recruit everyone as there’s a limit on how many recruitment missions you can hold at a time and for the most part, the majority of people wandering about London are pretty boring.

Each piece of Tech has three upgrade levels, letting you create a silenced weapon or have the ability to shield yourself for a few moments longer, but the scope is nowhere near what I imagined. There are a few bots and drones you can control - the Spiderbot will be your best friend after an hour or two of playing - a few cloaking devices and weapons upgrades, and that’s kind of it. Technology is supposedly at the forefront of Watch Dogs: Legion, but its range is rather limited. But then again, what about the connection between the 5G towers and Coronavirus? Sorry, I forgot you wanted to keep politics out of your games.

I’m grateful that at least for now, nobody seems to be trying to implant a control chip into my brain in real life. It’s difficult not to feel complete despair as you journey through this violent, dystopian nightmare that plays on a lot of existing conspiracy theories. The government is useless, a military police force runs around unchecked, the rich are getting richer and exploiting the poor and sick - all of the events in Watch Dogs: Legion don’t seem that far removed from our own reality and the various conspiracy theories being touted on Facebook. While it’s in reference to a sort of martial law being lifted, it’s still a very solemn nod to current events. You can buy face masks at several shops and there are a few NPC quips near the beginning like “At least the restrictions have been lifted!” that prompts a dark laugh. There are also a few indirect references to the ongoing pandemic and political crisis in Britain that are uncomfortably close to home, which I daresay made this review all the more difficult.

There’s poignant negativity in the air as you pass anti-government protests, food banks and pro-refugee groups, all of which are relevant in a time where our own politicians are voting to not feed children and treat refugees and immigrants as criminals. While it’s good to see effective female leadership with the likes of Nowt and her 404 hacker group and Inspector Kaitlin Lau’s valiant efforts to uphold the good hand of the law, the women in charge of enemy groups are downright horrifying. It’s worth noting that the majority of Leaders in Watch Dogs: Legion are women, which feels a little forced at points. Playing as a newly-obtained DedSec recruit, you’re tasked by its leader, Sabine, to rebuild the resistance against the likes of Albion, London’s militaristic new police force, Mary Kelley and her crime syndicate and Skye Larsen, Broca Tech’s mysterious CEO. As it turns out, everyone from the baddies from Clan Kelley to the government’s own military police was in on it, so it reads a little like a QAnon expo. Watch Dogs: Legion begins with a terrorist group known only as Zero-Day blowing up various locations around London as a means to show the world that destroying one another and lessening our reliance on technology is the only way to save humanity. The main thread of connection that runs through the entirety of Watch Dogs: Legion is that we are all Londoners and as such, we should all band together to throw off our various tech-obsessed, narcissistic and violent overlords. The puddles and crappy roads all start to look the same, you accidentally look at a person for too long and get called a cockwomble and before you know it, you’re a Londoner. Much like real life, though, you become familiarised with the different Boroughs and what they hold quite quickly. Watch Dogs: Legion captures the gargantuan scope of London, with its sprawling Boroughs, the well-connected transport system - which is your Fast Travel method throughout - and how intimidating it can feel stepping off a train into an area you’ve only ever seen on TV. It goes without saying, then, that playing a game that takes place in a pretty realistic version of London wasn’t very alluring to me, despite being able to send all my recruits to Westminster to give the finger at the fictional but probably Tory incumbent Prime Minister in-game. Let’s get one thing clear before I begin my review: as a Scot, I’m pretty disenfranchised with the world’s London-centric view of Britain and as such, have never been particularly excited about visiting the capital.
