When it comes down to choosing between two iconic open-world games like Watch Dogs: Legion and Grand Theft Auto V, players often find themselves torn apart by the sheer variety of experiences they offer.

Watch Dogs: Legion is set in an alternate 1980s London that has been transformed into a dystopian surveillance state. Players take on the role of a member of a resistance group fighting against the oppressive government known as The Regime.

On the other hand, Grand Theft Auto V offers players a more traditional open-world experience set in modern-day Los Santos and its surrounding areas. As an ambitious young street hustler trying to make it big in this corrupt city, you'll engage in all sorts of illicit activities from driving fast cars through crowded streets to robbing convenience stores.

However, if we're talking about sheer scale alone then Watch Dogs: Legion might have the upper hand here - at least according to Ubisoft themselves. During E3 earlier last year, one of their representatives claimed that a 1:1 recreation of London within this game would actually result in an area roughly twice as large than what you'd find inside San Andreas from GTA V.

While these claims should be taken with a grain of salt given how often developers tend to exaggerate when trying to sell us on new IP's, it does give us something interesting food for thought nonetheless - especially considering just how much detail goes into recreating entire cities in modern-day video games today.

In conclusion, whether or not Watch Dogs: Legion can compete with Grand Theft Auto V comes down entirely up personal preference. If you're looking for an immersive first-person experience set against a gritty urban backdrop then maybe this could be the game for you? But if fast-paced action and over-the-top stunts are more your cup of tea, then perhaps sticking with GTA might still be best.

Ultimately though, there's no right or wrong choice here - after all isn't that what gaming is supposed to be about anyway?
