Rather than needing to track down a construction worker or spy, Pearce is basically a jack of all trades (and Wrench too, in the end). The latter problem was more comical than anything else, but hard to ignore nonetheless.
I also noticed that whenever Pearce would stealthily takedown a guard, their body would fly about five feet behind me after I’d laid them out (and you can see a sample of that in our gameplay below).

The same types of launch-day oddities experienced by Luke on PC were also mirrored by Bloodline - I too suffered from audio dropouts and strange framerate drops as part of the expansion’s early access offering. Audio files still need to play out in their entirety - or simply skipped with the exposition they were meant to provide instead missed - at some points if you’d like to continue on, partially removing immersion as you either stand around or take Aiden or Wrench through time-wasting antics just to listen. This isn’t a bad thing, necessarily - especially for fans of Legion‘s formula - but you might also want to take the story in bite-sized chunks for maximum enjoyment. The repetition of driving from one place to another is mirrored by the echoes of missions themselves, with most requiring a handful of stealth, combat and hacking to continue the story of Pearce and Wrench. The need to drive from place to place is necessary when you begin, as your previous progress inside Legion matters not, but I found myself using fast travel as quickly as I could after unlocking new (old) access points. This provides a gigantic play area, and you’ll soon find yourself driving from end to end, bouncing between NPCs that serve to progress your active mission.
The result is a mixed bag, with many of Luke’s criticisms of the base game still applying to this new offering.įor starters, Bloodline uses the same London map and general mission structure as its parent game. It’s rather strange when you think about it, as this signifies a move away from what made Legion unique and instead heads toward Watch Dogs proper. This simple note has huge ramifications for Legion in that players won’t have a team of disposable agents at their fingertips rather, we’re locked in the shoes of Pearce alongside Legion fan-favorite Wrench. The expansion launches separately and is set within the opening events of Watch Dogs Legion itself London has been bombed and a heightened sense of fear is in the air, but DedSec hasn’t yet started its second coming. Love it or hate it, Legion has been expanded upon with Bloodline, a standalone experience (that still requires the base game) starring the original Watch Dogs‘ Pearce. Ultimately, Legion had similar problems as Watch Dogs itself in that the idea was better than what was actually executed. 2020’s Watch Dogs Legionupended this altogether, doing away with the concept of a singular protagonist and embracing the idea that you could play as anyone within London. Like Assassin’s Creed before it, the opening title in the franchise proved to be a proof of concept, with Watch Dogs 2 ditching wooden protagonist Aiden Pearce for a more compelling hero. The original Watch Dogs was a curious thing, slightly over-hyped and under-delivering. Six years later, we catch up with the protagonist of the original Watch Dogs.
