Even if it is a whistle stop tour, I appreciate the craft that has gone into each of Legion’s online missions. As such, the overall experience could be quite short-lived for many. It’s a barebones mode, though, and feels more like a pleasant distraction than the core of Legion’s online. There is a PvP spider bot arena for up to four players, which is essentially Robot Wars does Quake, and is thus more immediately replayable. However, the campaign-like design will likely mean the missions are a one-and-done exercise for all but Legion’s most hardcore fans. Watch Dogs Legions’ multiple methods of approach also meant each attempt played out slightly differently, demonstrating the potential for replays. Achieving a perfect stealth run, especially in a team, takes a few tries, but it was fun to master this multi-layered construction site puzzle. Of course, it didn’t go that smoothly on the first attempt. Our target could then be quickly extracted the moment our team effort hack unlocked the door.

Meanwhile, another player made their way through the site towards the captive NPC, guided by a fourth player using CCTV and drones as spotters. There’s a thrill in taking control of a cargo drone and watching a friendly spider bot hack into a terminal, primed to drop explosives on any guards that may get a bit too close to them. During a quest in which I was assigned to rescue an imprisoned NPC from a construction site, my team was able to hack terminals in tandem, using multiple drones to silently infiltrate and observe from the sky.
