Watch Dogs 2 was a step in the right direction for a series that initially went over like a wet fart. It traded in the all business plank of wood protagonist know as Aiden Pierce for Marcus Holloway, a young hacker leading hacking collective Deadsec on adventures taking down greedy corporate douchebags and mustache-twirling pharmaceutical and tech companies. Essentially it turned a boring over serious open-world game and turned it into a wacky adventure overflowing with style and charm. It’s strange then that Watch Dogs Legion manages to keep a lot of that fun and style intact while struggling to find a balance between a hack the planet type adventure and a decidedly dark tone.
