But I am pleased to say that Bloodline is something of a redemption story for Aiden. Generic, white vigilante with a chip on his shoulder that had all the personality of a concrete slab. He is generally considered a dud as far as lead characters go. One of the reasons I thought that this would be just a piece of filler is the focus on Aiden Pierce, the main character from the first Watch Dogs. Well, I am pleased to report that the first major DLC for Legion, Bloodline fixes that problem and as a result is possibly some of the best DLC that Ubisoft has ever produced. This lead to a disconnect from the story and a lack of ownership and immediacy. In my review, I said it felt like a fun experiment that never quite lived up to its potential, which was mainly due to the “play as anyone” gimmick. I will get this out of the way right now.
Such is the case with Watch Dogs Legion: Bloodline. So when a game comes along that you had pegged as pointless filler turns out to be a must-play for franchise fans, well I have to say it brings a big old smile to my face. I don’t want to sound like a bloody know-it-all, but when you have been doing this reviewing thing for a long period of time you get a sense of what upcoming titles will be of a certain standard and which ones will miss the mark. I love it when my expectations for a game are surpassed. Watch Dogs Legion: Bloodline – A Surprising Redemption PC, Xbox One/Series, PS4/5
