![]() ![]() The PS5 version makes the former easier to get into, while the latter is even more absorbing thanks to a significant visual upgrade. Watch Dogs Legion is at its best when infiltrating places and hacking into things, and beyond that the highlight is cruising around London, soaking up the sights. This would be more of an issue if the game didn’t handle as smoothly as it does now, but it will understandably be a bit disappointing for many. The framerate is still at 30fps, but at least seems to be a lot steadier. The game has limited DualSense implementation, with the basic use of adaptive triggers for guns being the only notable change from the DualShock 4 setup. The random looks the game throws up for its NPCs often made for some horror show faces, and now they are generally a lot more bearable and human. Characters also look much more detailed than they did previously. General texture detail is better too, which really accentuates the game’s excellent lighting and ray tracing. The visual improvements here and the inclusion of features like ray-racing really help showcase the beauty of Ubisoft’s dystopian London. It’s nothing major, but it does spoil the illusion a bit. It definitely wasn’t in the PS4 version, so it seems to be a side-effect of the new feature. There’s some odd fuzziness to some surfaces that implement ray tracing. Yes, it’s still a relatively fresh experience at this time, and that definitely influences how impactful it can feel, but you just wander along the roads by the Thames at night, seeing all that neon and glow of streetlights, and tell me it can’t be a breathtaking sight. There were several times I stopped to see my character or the scenery perfectly reflected in a window, a puddle, or even a car’s metallic shell. Ray Tracing allows for more realistic reflections on surfaces and it’s most effective when the game moves indoors or outdoors at nighttime. On PS5, the improvements bring London to fresh life. It captured the essence of the Capital and put a future-tech twist on it. Legion’s London was already the centrepiece of the package in the PS4 version. The biggest improvement found in the PS5 version is undoubtedly the visuals. So, while the story is still an occasionally cringe-worthy mess with some very bright spots, there’s a bit more pace to proceeding without drawn-out loading. Now it’s over and done with in a matter of seconds. Watch Dogs Legion has numerous loading screens before, during, and after, missions (as well as in fast travel), that used to leave you hanging around for 20-45 seconds. Load time cuts also help get the story moving a bit quicker too. Watch Dogs Legion on PS5 allows you to jump into any character’s shoes much quicker and play the game how you want. It still doesn’t quite stop the temptation to use the same trusty group of operatives for the majority of your time in London though. It may not solve the main issue with its roster of fairly shallow protagonists, but it does encourage you to see if there is one that better suits your tastes.
