Same same, not different

Though Watch Dogs has had three titles under its belt, it's only in the second game's first expansion, Watch Dogs: Legion Bloodline, that the protagonist of the first game, Aiden Pearce, returns as a playable character. For those who've played the first title and the main game that Bloodline expands on, it's familiarity with a tinge of nostalgia. But is that a good thing or a bad thing?
The plot
Bloodline takes place in between the opening and the main part of Legion. Parliament has been bombed, DedSec has been labelled terrorists and they've ultimately been disbanded. An older and weary Pearce has been out of the game for a while but decides to take a job in London where his nephew, Jackson, lives. He wants to reconnect after the tragic death of Jackson's mother in the first game, but the mission goes awry when Pearce has a run-in with none other than the annoying/lovable masked hacker Wrench. He finds himself involved in the usual Watch Dogs recipe of conspiracy and corruption, and much like before, a member of his family is in danger.
