From there, things get into some deep sci/fi themes, heading into Blade Runner and Ex Machina territory at times. Aiden is hired to steal a piece of tech that can help control a robotic police force but he is beaten to the punch by Wrench who has his own reasons for wanting that piece of tech out of corporate hands.
The story for Bloodline is set before the events of the main game, just after the London bombings. The two play off each other in wonderful ways, with some cracking scenes brought to life by some of the best writing in the franchise. His off-beat sense of humour, immediately likeable visage and general attitude make the perfect foil for Aiden’s gruff and sometimes uncaring exterior. Watch Dogs 2 fans should also know that everyone’s favourite spike sporting, digital mask-wearing, hacker extraordinaire Wrench is present and playable. This allowed me to empathise with Aiden in a way I never could in the first game, making him more likeable in the process. He is initially that same old unlikeable sod, but as the story goes on, players will get the chance to really examine his motives and how much his past shapes who he is. 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. You'll need to complete around three side missions in order to advance the story, and you'll know when you've done it when Jackson calls you.Watch Dogs Legion: Bloodline – A Surprising Redemption PC, Xbox One/Series, PS4/5 Once you've finished the main campaign you'll be able to swap between Aiden and Wrench to finish any side content you've got leftover.Īfter the first three missions, Aiden will be forced to complete side missions in order to pass the time. The first half of the DLC expansion will have you playing as Aiden Pearce, and once you hit the halfway point you'll be swapped to Wrench to complete the rest of the missions. There is no option to replay main missions, and there are no missable side missions. There are 12 main missions for the player to complete, with some taking ten minutes to complete, whilst others can take around an hour to finish. To finish the main storyline of Bloodline, it should take you around four to five hours overall.
