A critique of Watch Dogs: Legion ranging from its Play As Anyone system, to London as a city, to Ubisoft as a company, but particularly focussing on its politics. What does it have to say? If it says anything at all?

Watchdogs: Legion isn’t just a bloated, buggy, misguided, boring mess. It’s also borderline offensive in its handling of the very serious crisis. Watchdogs meets Brexit sounds like a fascinating, complex match made in heaven… but what we got was an abomination. No Season Pass content, or Aiden Pearce inclusion is going to fix this. The game was a failure in principle, and shocking in practice. And that kinda just bums me out, so hoped that this wee angry breakdown will help.

This means we’re getting political in this video. I know a lot of you joined the channel from my Bloodborne analysis, and I’ve had a couple of comments asking me to discuss some of my politics in more depth – so figured using Legion as a vehicle to do that could be quite fun!
