The problem with writing about “Watch Dogs: Legion” is that sometimes you don’t know if a bug is a flaw in the game or whether the developers are being very meta. That happened to me while playing one of the longer storyline missions and it’s the reason that this is review-in-progress rather than an actual assessment of the title.
I got to an important decision in the campaign, and when I chose either outcome, the game made the fans whir on my Xbox One, and then it shut down. The console turned off. When that happened the first time, I thought it was part of the narrative. The screen went black in a “Sopranos”-type of way to show the outcome. I waited for a few seconds and then I realized, “Oh wow, ‘Watch Dogs Legion’ made the console turn off to protect itself.” I suppose it couldn’t handle the gravity of that decision.
