Watch Dogs Legion was a mess at release, couldn’t play more then an hour without it freezing or crashing. Had numerous corrupt save files etc Happy the dev’s are continuing to keep it updated, Encountered multiple missions with objectives that couldn’t be completed because the Npc’s wouldn’t spawn or cutscene would turn the screen solid black.
