PlayStation Plus free game is an underrated mix of GTA 6 and Cyberpunk 2077

While it’s seen critically as a mixed success, Watch Dogs Legion is often seen as underrated fun that doesn’t take itself too seriously and offers a variety of ways to play. The whole Watch Dogs aesthetic is easy to buy into, who doesn’t love hackers and cyberpunk stylings?

While the game perhaps didn’t live up to the franchise highs, Watch Dogs Legion has its fans. This is likely due to the game’s hacking options and technology the player gets to wield. Between hacking drones, deploying spider bots, and using an Augmented Reality cloak to sneak past enemies, there’s a lot to love in there.

Watch Dogs Legion did a great job building the city of London

Available on PlayStation Plus, it’s worth putting a little time into Legion and judging for yourself whether the game is for you. You will “Build a resistance from virtually anyone you see as you hack, infiltrate, and fight to take back a near-future London that is facing its downfall.”

There are some innovative mechanics and features here like the recruiting options for building your resistance as you can play as literally anyone in the city. With this, each NPC you take over has different stats and a unique personality changing the game on the fly.

Perhaps the best feature here is the city of London which looks gorgeous from every angle and seems to be filled with life.

Watch Dogs Legion has been overshadowed by Cyberpunk 2077 since its release, which is understandable. The CD Projekt Red game dropped and even in its early, broken state, it was achieving what Watch Dogs wanted to and on a bigger scale. So perhaps it’s worth going back to this one via PlayStation Plus and seeing what it had to offer. That’s the beauty of these subscription services, you can just dip your toe in without having to drop the cash and possibly be disappointed.
