In some ways , this could be seen as a noble goal , by using the medium to showcase a variety of world and viewpoints , but this approach has backfired in some cases . Far Cry 5is a prime case of a plot that looked like it could lead to some intriguing discourse , before its more interesting - and dare it be said , political - element were lost in toilet humor and an unfitness to truly turn over into the craze of its antagonists . A secret plan that could be even more challenging in this regard is the just - announcedWatch Dogs Legion .

Watch Dogs Legionhas been frame as a political game from its very core - something that creative director Clint Hocking has been vindicated to indicate out . Speaking withIGN , Hocking explain " I trust that it ’s our responsibility as creator of acculturation to talk about stuff that ’s material , and that matters to people . " In the case ofWatch Dogs Legion , this is a post - Brexit Britain stick in a dystopia of privatized security . The fingerprints of creeping authoritarianism are all over the game , and all too seeable within its other preview and screenshots .
Brexit is a real part of the secret plan , set in a interpretation of London where the country has made that split away from the European Union . ForWatch Dogs Legion , this mean that the game can hash out if not Brexit itself , at least the wider issues go on in the world through the lens of a future Britain where the snag from the EU has gone wrong . Legionwill focus on " the causes of Brexit , " and employ this as a frame for wider discussions of the rise of one-man rule and " economic job . "
The cicatrix of the current political mood are all over the place setting of this biz . InWatch Dogs Legion , the British government has nearly collapse ; in real aliveness , the UK is just about get its third Prime Minister since 2016 . InWatch Dogs Legion , mass protests are taking part in the streets ; in the tangible world , one million people took to London in an anti - Brexit march . InWatch Dogs Legion , bourdon have encroach upon privacy and disrupted everyone ’s lives ; in real - human beings Britain , drones shut down one of the expectant airport during the vacation season . And that ’s without going into the pig - cloak Dedsec character and what - ahem - notorious UK political newsworthiness that could potentially be ape .
IfWatch Dogs Legionignores its shoes here , and shuffles back towards that floating basis ofFar Cry 5 , then it may find itself with much less bite . Brexit has already proved a successful place for fantastical game , as showcased byindie darlingNot Tonight , and the bombastic and activist nature ofWatch Dogsin general could be the everlasting place to shed an oculus over the current climate . Since the biz has a mechanic that turn anyone into a wedge , why not get the thespian to truly feel like they are part of something revolutionary ?
