    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игруха реально годная, механика взаимодействия со всем в игре через телефон выглядит очень интересной. Порадовал саундтрек, музыка разнообразная и много где подходящая, но запоминающегося трека, который мог бы напоминать об игре, я не встретил

    Вся игра заточена на головоломках, их решать интересно, какие-то головоломки нельзя решить без прокачки навыков, а чтобы их прокачать, нужно решить другие головоломки. Для решения нужно использовать голову, и кучу разных механик. Мой любимый тип со взломом локальной сети, где нужно поворачивать узлы для синего потока

    Watch Dogs 2 foi um jogo que me decepcionou bastante, após ter jogado o primeiro e gostado da temática (mesmo que não tenha sido tão bem aproveitada nesse em questão) fiquei animado para a sequencia porem bati de frente com varias situações que me incomodaram.

    Watch Dogs 2 foi um jogo que me decepcionou bastante, após ter jogado o primeiro e gostado da temática (mesmo que não tenha sido tão bem aproveitada nesse em questão) fiquei animado para a sequencia porem bati de frente com varias situações que me incomodaram.

    Gameplay: Não é tão boa assim, o jogo não te incentiva a ser agressivo (Marcus morre com pouquíssimo dano mesmo na dificuldade normal) e o modo stealth é super facilitado já que você pode simplesmente distrair qualquer NPC com um botão e ele simplesmente fica "cego" então o desafio some na maioria dos casos, a ideia dos gadgets como o drone é incrível porem na prática acaba sendo bem repetitivo.

    História: Novamente outro aspecto que me decepcionou, tendo vários personagens e até um do jogo anterior eu esperei uma boa história porem não foi o caso, da a impressão que a historia é curta demais bem rasa (mesmo se tratando de um tema bem interessante), de fato o jogo acaba com a impressão que falta algo.

    Trilha Sonora: Alguns momentos a trilha sonora realmente encaixa com a cena/gameplay porem ela é bem fácil de ser esquecida (não é porque a música é conhecida que ela necessariamente é boa pra situação).

    6/10 - Um jogo legal porem bem decepcionante.

    Best Sequel to any game from Ubisoft. Almost like it isn't an Ubisoft game. Good Optimization and graphics for its time, fantastic Open-World features and possibilities, the game doesn't get boring and much more. 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the setting in California, the mechanics like report people to the police or to gangs as traitors. Dedsec's motivation wasn't just like in any other Ubisoft game that somebody close died (though later somebody did) but to help the people from the corporations and to value their data. Also i enjoyed that it wasn't as serious. I did have some small performance issues but they weren't no bid deal. Do recommend. Expand

    One thing ruins the game completely. It's the police. If you like the GTA police chasing, this game is not like that. They are much more ridiculous. They just randomly generate police cars out of nowhere. If you think you are smart to drive off-road onto a hill, there will be a police car waiting for you there as well. This game also lacks objects to hide behind. And it's not optional,One thing ruins the game completely. It's the police. If you like the GTA police chasing, this game is not like that.

And it's not optional, they added a pursuit as early as the first mission, although it's a side mission, the game just switches to the mission without telling you. Even if you don't count that, the second mission is a full-blown car chase mission. How does Ubi have the cheek to force players to do car chase, especially when it's a half-baked lame clone of GTA?

    I only went through the tutorial mission, got into the hacker space and went out to the park with the first "mission".

Even dividing the missions into various checkpoints, the game becomes flat and repetitive.

    On the other hand, secondary activities are beautiful and varied, and the city is very lively with breathtaking landscapes. Ubisoft has done an excellent job creating the game's backdrop, with some funny lines said by some NPCs.

    In summary, Watch Dogs 2 is a valid game, but it could have definitely given more if it had a more varied and less monotonous gameplay. The main story is interesting, but it's too long and repetitive to keep the player's attention for the entire duration of the game. However, the secondary activities are fun and the city is well realized.

    Watch Dogs 2 presents a promising concept, but ultimately falls flat due to numerous gameplay issues that detract from the overall experience.

    While the hacking mechanics provide some enjoyable moments, they lack in diversity and fail to live up to their full potential. Additionally, the driving mechanics are responsive enough to be enjoyable, but the inability to use certain vehicles
    Watch Dogs 2 presents a promising concept, but ultimately falls flat due to numerous gameplay issues that detract from the overall experience.

    While the hacking mechanics provide some enjoyable moments, they lack in diversity and fail to live up to their full potential. Additionally, the driving mechanics are responsive enough to be enjoyable, but the inability to use certain vehicles such as planes is disappointing.

    Furthermore, the game is plagued by frustrating bugs, including enemies being able to see through fences and an endless stream of enemies during fights.

    The story and dialogue are also lackluster, with shallow characters and uninteresting plot points. The limited weapon options, particularly the lack of silencer options, further hinder the stealth-focused gameplay. The RC toys are similarly underwhelming and easily spotted by enemies. Finally, the scarcity of available vehicles can be frustrating.

    Overall, while Watch Dogs 2 has its moments of enjoyment, these are overshadowed by the numerous flaws and frustrations that plague the game.

    Quick and easy, no tl;dr: With Aiden (Watch Dogs 1) we had a vigilante taking down casual criminals, busting up a human trafficking network, busting up a gang of thugs, putting a serial killer out of business, and taking down the boss of the Chicago mob. In Watch Dogs 2, we instead have teenage brats spraying graffiti and getting high.
    Seriously Ubisoft? It's a joke?

    The game is overall good in graphics, gameplay, story and characters design. I enjoyed playing the game so much. The bad thing in the game is that sometimes the character went to the undesired area when taking cover and I couldn't cancel the action and die. The other one is that there are too little music genre choices for the radio.

Скучные вышки пропали (ура), но взамен появилось куча мест с очками для навыков, а также очки для разблокировки покупки этих навыков - вот это уже спорное решение для растягивания геймплея для любителей отойти от сюжета.

There's no stakes, no tension and absolutely no good writing in the story.

Every single line is a long exposition or a cringe reference that gives you 2nd hand embarrasment. The gameplay is fun for the first 3 hours then it gets stale as you realise that it's just like other Ubi games. It doesn't offer any major upgrades to the gameplay from the original Watchdogs. This game is just lame. It tries to replicate what other games do and it does it poorly. The only thing that WD2 has going for it is the world which still holds up even after 5 years and certain missions which can impress you from time to time. It has nothing else and I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you really, really like Ubisoft titles. Expand

The protagonist Marcus has no back-story, the CtOS 2.0 saw him as a potential criminal in the future, and to prove he isn't, he actually became one LOL. Its hard to feel like you are the good guy when you just run over people, destroy **** hack cars and bank accounts of people, dance near a blown-up manhole and take selfies after swatting some innocent bystander. The Dedsec video cutscenes are great and funny as they are made up of tons of old memes. The building up to the end is boring with only a few times in which you care what's actually going on. The boss-fight at the end of the game is as disappointing as the game itself. Expand

Driving mechanics are still very bad, just like the first game. I have to mention that I LOVE the way Marcus moves. The characters moves feel so realistic, the motion capture is amazing.

    The best, and the last well made game of UBI,
    and don't play LEGION if you are a fan of Watch Dogs.

    Good game. Excellent graphics (only bad reflections on cars and buildings), good gameplay, a fairly lively world. A stupid and bad plot without revealing the characters. By tradition, Ubisoft has bad car physics (but in part 2 it is still not so bad compared to Legion).

    A game with that improves on the original by a lot we have better characters, better story, amazing vast living and breathing open world. You have more options to play the game which is always a plus. The gameplay is awesome the stealth is top notch and the missions are all really fun to play. Highly recommended

    Watch Dogs 2 was a pleasant surprise for an open-world Ubisoft game. It plays to the strength of Ubisoft Monreal studio, the wonderful and detailed recreation of cities, and places accents in the right aspects, even if it struggles to deliver in others.

    Watch Dogs 2 was a pleasant surprise for an open-world Ubisoft game. It plays to the strength of Ubisoft Monreal studio, the wonderful and detailed recreation of cities, and places accents in the right aspects, even if it struggles to deliver in others.

    With many convenience features, like quick access to the vehicles and plenty of fast travel points, the travel between activities is smooth and intuitive. These activities, unfortunately, aren't as plentiful and diverse, as they are in the best of the genre. You have some fun collecting and side quests to do, with the Uber driver hustle being surprisingly enjoyable, for example, but nothing too deep or meaningful. The main quests, on the other hand, are a pleasant change from what they are in the standard Ubisoft formula, something more akin to the GTA series. They feature cool locations and set pieces, fun concepts, and generally good level design. You will infiltrate a futuristic cathedral to steal the holy writings of a new age confession, a giant server compound, and even a space station, almost becoming a stowaway astronaut. Some missions are weaker than others, but it's a nice collection overall.

    Your approach to completing quests and dealing with encounters may vary, with the skill tree allowing you to craft your own playstyle, even if the choice is not that significant. You can be a stealthy ninja, going behind the backs of the enemies distracted by a phone call you orchestrated with a quick hack, or comfortably sitting in some comfy hideout while controlling the drones that do everything for you with surprising responsiveness, or go full rampage with assault rifles, shotguns, and explosives in an amount that could probably demolish a skyscraper. That last one was really confusing to me, as it causes some serious dissonance with how the plot is set up. The guy you play as, Marcus, is a young hooligan, who does parkour, is obsessed with nerd culture, and doesn't really have other motivation than to be a cool hacker and fight the system. He's overall just a chill dude and it's very jarring to see him shred people with bullets. The group Marcus is a part of, DedSec, also don't really present themselves as straight-up terrorists: they have a wacky media profile with a lot of followers (which are at the same time the stand-in for the EXP in progression system) and come off more as punk anarch-kiddies rather than cold-blooded killers. I opted in for almost exclusively pacifist playthrough as it seemed much, much more fitting. Of course, there's always an argument for game contrivances, but it would be nice to give at least some reason for why killing dozens of people is OK in the context of the situation or lampshade it in some tongue-in-cheek joke, yet I haven't noticed anything like that.

    The story itself is okayish. It lacks any depth and mostly just serves its purpose of giving you the motive to play through main missions, but it's not exactly cliched and doesn't take itself too seriously. Antagonist and your allies in DedSec are appealing, even if kinda one-dimensional. It was nice to get some conflict between in the group, no matter the underwhelming resolution to it. Themes of authoritarian supervision and corporate intrusion in private life were really surface-level, but they were present and felt like a welcomed change from the overdone revenge and "circles of violence" plots.

    As usual for the genre, Watch Dogs 2 doesn't have a memorable story or deep systemic interactions with the world, but the gameplay loop is fun and gets you into some interesting situations, making the title overall a rather pleasant experience.

    I didn't expect such a quality PC Port coming from Ubisoft especially knowing what they have been giving us over the last few years. Dishonored 2 should have been subjected to that kind of treatment. The game is well-optimised. Aside from this (which is still the most important part for a PC game), graphics loo

Also, Watch Dogs 2 is a lot easier than the first one. I had hard times playing the first one on normal difficulty but even in "Realistic" difficulty mode I was completing every missions on Watch Dogs 2 easily. Also, it seemed like the police stopped chasing me after a certain amount of time whereas in the first one the police would chase even for an hour if I could not shake them off. Lastly, I found some bugs that made me exit from the game and start the mission again.

    Overall, Watch Dogs 2 is a good game with very good gameplay and open world design. But I could not finish it because of a lack of motivation to continue as the story was lame. Otherwise, it could have been a 10/10 for me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played both Watch_Dogs and Watch_Dogs 2 though I played Watch_Dogs when it first came out and on the Xbox One so it has definitely been a while and was on a different platform, with that let's get into it.

    Performance

    Not much to say here really, I had virtually no issues in terms of performance and stability, while playing I had a stable framerate and only ever had the game crash twice throughout the entire story.

    Graphics

    The game is quite beautiful but you can start to tell they are a bit outdated. I didn’t have any graphical glitches or errors in my time playing however.

    Gameplay

    Here is the meat of it and arguably the most important part of the game. The gameplay in Watch_Dogs 2 is phenomenal. While the game both looks and presents itself similarly to GTA it is vastly different because of the hacking. In terms of the hacking there is way more you are able to do compared with the first game, while the basics from the first game are there you can now do way more and it feels like a main part of the game as opposed to a gimmick. For example you can hack into someones phone and have them assassinated by a gang or even start a faction war between two groups to distract them. There is also way more to hack and control such as cars and other vehicles.

    They’ve also added two RC drones which allow for different styles of gameplay, both the drone and RC car are great additions and add interesting and unique ways to solve the “puzzle” of each mission. Of course you can still go in guns blazing if you want or even stealth around and hack but there being different options keeps the game fresh and can make each situation unique.

    The World

    If there is one thing Ubisoft exceeds at it’s there worldbuilding. This is perhaps the best living city I’ve ever played, the city feels real and alive and makes sense. Having a little description of each NPC and the ability to listen in on some of their conversations makes it feel all the more real and like these people actually inhabit it. The world has a lot of detail in it that appears to make it a real city.

    Story

    Now here in my opinion is the weakest part of the game. The tone of the story here is vastly different from the first game and I will be going into minor spoilers here for both Watch_Dogs and Watch_Dogs 2. The tone of this game is very silly and goofy as opposed to the more bleak and serious nature of the first game. Instead of being a vigilante out for revenge you are a member of the hacker group DedSec out to expose the big corporation Blume for their evil deeds with data collection. Each of the characters in the game with the exception of the “villian” are goofy. The dialogue for most of these characters is to me quite unbearable but hidden under this dialogue is an interesting premise [spoiler] that fails to pay off with a satisfying conclusion or bigger story. [/spoiler] As you go through and expose more and more evil that each of the big tech companies is doing it feels very real, and like you are doing something important. However the dialogue and goofy nature takes away from this as well as the methods that you take in achieving these ends.

    (SPOILERS AHEAD)The weakest part of the story is the “villain” which again is in quotes for a reason. The villain is the CTO of Blume who wants to use people's personal data for financial gain as well as developing new technologies he believes humanity will want and may even help them. Of course he also engages in fraud and other illegal activities, but it is kind of hard to absolutely hate the guy when he often does have a point and isn’t really even evil. To be completely honest I do sympathize with him and what DedSec was doing made me question whether or not what my character was doing was the right choice. I don’t think the game intends this but it is what I got.(END OF SPOILERS)

    Conclusion

    While Watch_Dogs 2 is by no means a perfect game it’s gameplay puts it miles above what Watch_Dogs was even though it’s story is lackluster in some parts. While I didn’t like the dialogue of the characters and the lack of a grandiose story I still got a lot of enjoyment out of it and would definitely recommend it.

    In this game the missions just feel a bit pointless and can become a bit tedious, especially the side missions, because they just don't really add a whole lot to the already bad story.

    Watch Dogs was a loser. What will I be. Although I liked the game, it was not what the developers showed us at E3.

Although I liked the game, it was not what the developers showed us at E3. So Ubisoft got a second chance and brings us Watch Dogs 2, which is already quite easy to look at, but quite different. So where would I just start? Let's start with the visuals. As soon as it catches your eye, the overall graphics of Watch Dogs 2 are quite different from the few years older Watch Dogs 1. It is happier and overall has more pronounced colors. Dark, overcast Chicago has been replaced by sunny, vibrant San Francisco and I must say it's beautiful. I dare say that if Ubisoft can do anything, it's game worlds. San Francisco has something in it, and while it may not fit in with Aidan Pearce's style, it doesn't matter at all, because we don't even play for it here. Marcus comes on the scene, which is much, but much more charismatic, for which I commend the authors. At number one, I complained that the game lacked a protagonist who would express emotions in any way. But Marcus is much better off and not just him. In less than an hour of playing, we meet other characters we play with and they are also much better than those from the previous part. I immediately developed a relationship with them. What was the purpose of the previous game was hacking, which is of course here again. In my opinion, it is neither better nor worse. I think it's the same. It all works better thanks to better characters. Unfortunately, what the developers still didn't finish is shooting, which is not bad, but in the previous game I found it a bit strange, but mainly car control. In my opinion, this is the biggest stumbling block of Watch Dogs 2. What I liked about the game was that at any time you can be attacked by a player who is playing and can steal your followers. In the same way, you have the opportunity to attack a player and gain followers. Yes, you hear or read correctly. Followery. You gain followers in the game, thanks to which you also gain experience points and you improve your hacker, who is in the DEDSEC group. What do you, as a DEDSEC group, have to do and I will not reveal the overall point of the story. All I can say is that it's definitely better than in number one, which I don't even really know what it was about. Overall, a good game for me, which has learned from the previous one. For me, a good game that I can recommend. Expand

    Die Sozialkritik zu den Gefahren der Digitalisierung wird auf eine spielerische Art versändlich geäussert.
    Im zweiten Teil wird das Setting komplett geändert. Die Stimmung wechselt von "ernste Story, kalte Umgebung" zu "lässig, warme Ferien". Die Stadt ist noch belebter und die verschiedenen Nebenaktivitäten laden zum Verweilen ein.
    Dazu gehören Autorennen, Motorradrennen, Squad- und eine Art Gokartrennen, Boot- und Drohnenrennen.
    Neu ist, dass man Skillpunkte sich erhacken kann und mittels Schnellreise an diverse Points of Interest reisen kann.

    Das Spiel hat einen ganz grossen Minuspunkt, welcher den Spielspass wortwörtlich zerstört! Haupt- und Nebenmissionen sind je nach Schwierigkeitsstufe sehr anspruchsvoll und man hat ca. 20-30 Minuten. Am Schluss muss man flüchten. Wenn die Flucht aber fehlschlägt, muss die ganze Mission nochmals von vorne gespielt werden. Die Savepoints wurden also richtig verkackt! Es ist so schlimm, dass ich nur bis zur Hälfte gespielt habe und danach einfach keinen Bock auf diese Scheisse hatte.
    Der Story fehlt einen roten Faden. Mal ist man Mitten in der Stadt ein feindliches Hauptquartier am Hacken, danach befindet man sich plötzlich auf einer Party-Insel und konsumiert Drogen. Hippe Szenen werden ohne logischen Zusammenhang verknüpft. 1 Punkt Abzug.
    Etwas hakelig ist die PC-Steuerung.

    ___

    In the second part, the setting is completely changed. The mood changes from "serious story, cold environment" to "casual, warm vacations". The city is even busier and the various side activities invite you to linger.
    These include car racing, mtorcycle racing, squad racing, a kind of go-kart racing, boat racing and drone racing.
    What's new is that you can hack skill points and travel to various points of interest via quick travel.

    The game has one very big minus point, which literally destroys the fun of the game! Main and side missions are very demanding depending on the difficulty level and you have about 20-30 minutes. At the end you have to escape. But if the escape fails, the whole mission has to be played again from the beginning. So the savepoints were really **** up! It's so bad that I only played to the halfway point and then just didn't feel like playing this **** further.
    The story lacks a thread. Sometimes you're in the middle of the city hacking an enemy headquarters, then you suddenly find yourself on a party island consuming drugs. Hip scenes are linked without any logical context. 1 point deduction.
    The PC controls are a bit stiff.

    As good as this game is , I have found 2 frustrating issues... the first is the area you must go to meet someone has the diameter of about 3 meters...meaning you must be exactly in the box which unlike GTA Does not give you a visible circle to see...just how far away you are. Sometimes cars are parked where you need to be too. Another minor gripe is items in world feel they are made of paper. for instance driving 5 mph and hitting a light pole , destroys it instantly. I feel they could have put more weight on objects. But besides those two items this is a great game. Great story great gameplay Great Fun.

    - Durante algunas misiones puede ser bastante divertidas.
    - Puede llegar a ser bastante largo, aunque artificialmente largo....
    - La recreacion de la ciudad es bastante bonita y la ciudad esta bien hecha sin mas.

    Contras:

    - Las misiones se hacen muy repetitivas y acaban siendo un Copia y Pega de todos los juegos de Ubisoft. Si te gustan los Assasin, te gustará. Acabas aburrido de hacer lo mismo y se puede hacer tedioso. Se puede hacer muyy aburrido en ese sentido.
    - La difultad a la hora de introducirse en un edificio es que meten mas vigilantes. Absurdamente cantidades ingentes de vigilantes armados hasta los dientes. Sin sentido.
    - Los NPCs estan locos. Sus conversaciones sonn absurdas y son estupidos. Alguna vez te tendras que reir de las estupiedeces que sueltan.
    - La IA esta de lo peor que he visto.
    - La historia es un sin sentido de "cosas hackers". No te enteras de nada, haces las misiones porque hay que hacerlas, no porque sean interesantes.
    - Los personajes son planos y sin carisma, no tienen nada. Te da igual lo que les pase. No hay nada de empatia con ellos, parecen adolescentes gilipollas.
    - No existe ningun interes en visitar el mundo. Te da igual de lo simple y vacio que es.
    - Coleccionables y demas mierda para alargar el juego artificialmente. Vas a un sitio, hackeas o coges no se que, te vas a otro y haces lo mismo, recompensas de mierda..... El juego no te premia la de tiempo que hay que dedicarle.
    - Mala copia de GTAV. A veces es ridiculo en lo que se le parece, eso si se le parece en lo malo.

    Resumiento, lo juegue porque la Epic Store me lo regalo, no te gastes mas de 10 euros en el, no los vale.

    The beginning didn't do for me and confused me to the point that I started comparing this with Watch Dogs 1. I felt the protagonist was a bit too immature, which is true, but as you progress through the story you realize that this game has its charm.

    Watch Dogs maybe 2nd on my list after Grand Theft Auto, followed as third with Saints Row, just because It allows you to do all kinds of stuff in the city, even more than GTA, if you ask me, due to the hacking, yet it doesn't go overboard as Saints Row did. It is an unexpected good game and I can't wait for Watch Dogs: Legion. I think it will be a great game!

    I honestly really enjoyed the game. Lots of stuff to do and everything. Biggest downside to the game would be performance, was impossible for me to keep stable 60 fps even when played on low. Never the less the gameplay is excellent

    I finished almost 100% of the game and I can say that in general it is a good game. Like almost every game, Wacth Dogs 2 gets repetitive after many hours of play. Multiplayer missions are absurdly repetitive. There could be a better system for interacting with game users. The graphics quality is very good and the gameplay too.

    I wanted to play this game a lot because idea of this gameplay interested me and after first game I wanted to know what is changed but I couldn't because this game is not optimized for lot of videocards and processors With ryzen 5 and rx 560 I couldn't get 30 fps in minimum graphics settings I could play red dead redemption on 40 fps and gta 5 on ultra 60 fps on this but couldn't watch dogs 2

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got Watch Dogs 2 off of a free Epic Games sale cause I heard it was okay. But, after playing through the entire game, I didn't expect this abysmal garbage for a game.

    First, let me start out with the pros. The city looks great! It really seems like Ubisoft actually took time with modeling San Francisco. And even though my PC is bad, I was still able to run full graphic settings. The characters look great as well. All of them very detailed and life-like. The Movie star mission was actually really fun. Although I don't understand the meaning of this mission. I really liked it. But about here is where the pros stop. Everything else about the game makes me want to shove a spoon up my butt

    Cons. Let me start with the story missions. The missions are all just a copy paste. Here, I'll give you an example of all of them. There is a big tech company doing something highly illegal. So, you break into there HQ, steal data/install virus. Then you find there is a underground basement that no one knows about. After you get inside the underground basement, you escape. That's it. That is all of the mission summed up in one paragraph. Second you have the cars. While they are highly detailed, when you wreck them, which you will eventually do of course, the glass cracks. The cracked glass looks terrible. It seems that Ubisoft spent a day on the glass cracks then went straight back to city modeling. Third, the "hacking". Now I understand why Ubisoft did not implment actual hacking into there game. I do not understand why they implemented two hacking features. you can hack a person or object. Or you spend 5 mind numbingly boring minutes rotating little puzzle pieces to open a door. When ever I got to a part where it had that terrible, god-forbidden, awful puzzle part, I'd scream. It's just a lazy excuse for saying "you are hacker man". Lastly, (too make this review a lot shorter) the story. The story has no words for how bad it is. it was written by a bunch of 4 year olds in business clothes. They killed the least likeable character so they could say that it is emotional. No one liked Horatio, I can tell you that for a fact. Ubisoft did not put him in any of the side missions just in case you played them after he died. He also had no role. Marcus: main character, Josh: nerdy white guy hacker. Wrench: funny robotics guy, Sitara: the girl, Ray: Marcus's friend/introduced late. Horatio was just... there. Also, there were no stakes. You never did a mission at the risk of someone's death. The automated cut scenes are filled with glitches and are very robotic. Now let me talk about the final mission. There is nothing different. Sure you got to play as Sitara and Wrench... for ten seconds. I'd be cool if you were able to play as them after you finished the game. like, do the side missions as Sitara. or race as Wrench. But no. Then the rest of the mission follows the exact same basic guide line as before! There is no difference besides you win. The only reason why i knew it was the end was cause of the achievement I got at the end. It really did not seem like the final one to me. The ending of a game should be heartfelt, bittersweet. It should say, "We did this. We took the time, exposed the world, and saved it as well. We did this". but instead it just one of those stupid glichy commercial things.
    All in all, comparing this to GTA V is like comparing Super Mario 64 with Bubsy 3D. They are both 3D platformers on the n64. But Bubsy 3D is better. Bye bye.

    Cringy dialogues and edgy characters. Unrememberable antagonists and trash scripts. A huge waste on such a great theme. But I guess western kids nowadays like this.

    Görev dizaynı başarılı. Bir görevi yapmanın, mekana girmenin birçok yolu var. Bunun dışında açık dünyada gezmek, araç sürüş mekaniği kötü. Oynanabilir, eğlenceli ama fazlası değil.

    A very good game, it runs pretty well on the PC the only problem I had was with the textures that don't get render completely, but it still is a pretty good game, the first minute may be a bit boring but the rest is just extremely fun to play

    It is pretty good game, great story, driving, hacking but the missions are repetitive, go - hack - go back, but overall worth buying it.

    It's ok but cutscenes are blurry, CUTSCENES! I mean it's ok if its not a cutscene cause it's hard to make everything perfect, not to mention I was playing on high so that's not supposed to happen. And man I really hate going towards mission and then suddenly being sent to online, and then I have to manually get out, if I want to play online I'm gonna play online.

    Watch Dogs 2 was a promise. And Ubisoft kept this promise. While the predecessor did get a lot of well deserved criticism, this second part can deliver. Better graphics, another visual approach and a fun hacker gameplay combined with the Ubisoft formula. And this game is fun, especially the multiplayer mode. But the storyline is really bad and a second hand embarrassment. The charactersWatch Dogs 2 was a promise. And Ubisoft kept this promise.

    Отличная игра, но есть минус например: физика и тд. миссии в этой игре слишком однотипные типо сходи туда, потом туда .Про финальную миссию я молчу финальную миссию можно пройти за 25-50 минут, а на другие миссии вам понадобится на много меньше времени. Слава богу что в игре есть функция выбора миссии. Стрельба в этой игре ужасна.

    Игра на много лучше чем "WatchDogs 1." В игре есть открытый мир. Мой отзыв подошёл к концу. Удачи!

    Fun & beautiful open world set in a great location. Fun to explore with great freedom to how you solve missions. My only flaw is that you can't hide bodies and that characters act like little teen hippies with over-usage of "le memes". The tone should be more serious for somebody doing what they are doing in my opinion. Other than that very good game, just don't take it too seriously andFun & beautiful open world set in a great location. Fun to explore with great freedom to how you solve missions.

    Unlike the first game where multiplayer was kind of a mess, the sequel offers a pretty solid multiplayer experience. Playing Watch Dogs 2 co-op is definitely a blast, especially if you're experiencing the game with a friend.

    In the end, Watch Dogs 2 feels like an improvement over the previous game in the series. The characters are fun to play as and interact with, all of the hacking elements have a lot more depth and make more sense, and the world feels more alive and rich than ever before, design wise and graphics wise. However the game does suffer from mediocrity in regards to its shooting mechanics and stealth sections. Is it a fun game? Yeah, sure it is. Is it one of my games of the year? Not really.

    Hacking and stealth elements are so good in Watch Dogs 2 and as a whole the game is so much better than its predecessor that I managed to turn a blind eye to the fact that Dedsec members are annoying as hell. [01/2017, p.32]
