6 Reasons Why You Should Try Watch Dogs: Legion
3. Permadeath Option Adds Another Level To Watch Dogs
Right at the start of your Watch Dogs Legion adventure, you will get a crucial decision which will affect your playthrough.
In virtually all video games, if you die during a mission you respawn and attempt it again. However, if you enable permadeath when you die your character will no longer be available for you to use.
The game's biggest pull is that you can play as anyone, which makes this addition more important than ever. You may have had characters that you have become attached to or have spent ages trying to recruit, but if you die with them that is it.
In a story where there is no one lead character, it adds a level of depth and will make players think twice before simply storming a building. It certainly increases the difficulty, but if you play carefully it can be overcome. For new players to the series I would advise against it, but if you are looking for that extra challenge it brings a whole new level to Watch Dogs.
