I miss that he can put on headphones and listen to music at any time. I personally would’ve preferred to see Watch Dogs 2’s Marcus (but don’t worry, the devs don’t just completely forget about him). The game definitely addresses his sociopathic tendencies, and how he is oddly treated as this shining hero among the hacker resistance. Seeing Aiden as a grumpy old uncle that estranged his family is interesting, but it’s more so when characters call out how an awful person he can be at times. That’s the brother to Aiden’s passed niece that kickstarted the original game’s story.įor those who grown to love these characters, Bloodline is filled with nice character moments and development. What seems to be a simple gig had a wrench thrown in the plans, and now Aiden has to deal with a megalomaniac tech bro in the form of Thomas Rempart.Īlso, Aiden gets to see his nephew, now all grown up and relocated in the UK. You won’t be profiling people of the streets to see their stats for recruitment, you’ll only just see the usual one flavour text, occupation and salary, just like the good old games.īloodline is set after the bombings that set off the base game’s events, but before DeadSec London is reborn.Īiden finds himself roped into a gig in London after travelling the world as a vigilante for so long. Unlike the base game, you’re not recruiting people off the streets if London- you either play as Aiden or Wrench. Watch Dogs Legion Bloodline is essentially a whole new campaign, starring Watch Dogs’ Aiden Pierce who still is a murdering pragmatist though much older than ever and Watch Dogs 2’s loveable weeb and shitposter Wrench.
Is it any good? You will get one answer down the line of this review, but the more important question is, do we really want to go back to basics? Who Let The Watch Dogs Out It brings back two familiar faces from the series’ past, ditches all the “play as anyone” gimmick for a more straightforward open-world romp. Watch Dogs Legion Bloodline is an expansion for the game that does just that. Watch Dogs: Legion introduced a big change for Ubisoft’s open-world game about hackers and resistance fighters by making you pick who your main character is by literally scouring the streets, turning a non-player character into a player character.īut what if, you just don’t want to be bothered with all that? What if there’s a more traditional Watch Dogs experience with characters you’ve invested in from past games?
