10 GENIUS Video Game Features No One Saw Coming

10. Recruiting ANYONE (Even A Grandmother Spy) - Watch Dogs: Legion

Central to the concept of Watch Dogs: Legion is the whole ‘Play As Anyone’ thing. It’s bold new ground that gaming hasn’t really explored much yet, and Ubisoft really do mean it literally.

While grizzled agents, ordinary everyday heroes and the like are present and correct in Legion, there’s really only one character true fans want to find and command: a drone-flinging elite spy granny.

This particular spawn is very tough to pin down (“A grandma who is a spy would be an incredibly rare spawn.I have never seen one, and seeing more than one in a single play-through would be one in a billion, I imagine,” the game’s Creative Director Clint Hocking has said), but the industry is a better place for her mere existence.

If anybody needed a reason to jump back on board with Watch Dogs, Helen is definitely that reason.
