An optional permadeath mode can make you surprisingly attached to your crew. It’ll likely make Legion’s ‘surprise’ shootouts even more obnoxious, mind, especially as you can’t change operatives mid-mission
How do you pick the perfect protagonist for a city as diverse as London? Legion’s answer is to let you choose, giving you the power to recruit anyone you see into hacker outfit DedSec, with different recruits bringing different perks (or drawbacks) to the team. It’s the one part of this hi-tech dystopia that feels brand new: you can cast what is – depressingly – the most multicultural triple-A game ever. Hated the young cast of the last game? Build an army of pensioners. Perhaps it’s more a triumph of production budgets, strong writing, and endless voice-acting sessions than a step forward for the genre, but it’s still incredible in motion.
