    The PC support blows, would not recommend. I have to install twice, uninstall, now reinstall. Additionally, the game wouldn't even start on my first try, I had to tinker with it for a bit. Hope it actually works. I'm surprised that an AAA studio has a game this broken on PC, kind of impressive.

    This is a very good game. I got incredible pleasure passing it. Passed three times. The only negative is the atmosphere. It is too colorful, cheerful, cheerful. I think it was necessary to add at least a little seriousness. And the physics of cars, well, it's just awful.

    One of the best games I’ve played in a while, hands down. Controls are so much better than Watch_Dogs and the story is just so good! Such a fun and addictive game!

    Interesting concept and mechanics, ruined by unbearable mess of "How do you do, fellow kids?" pandering. Gimme muh hard drive space back.

    Талантливый хакер Маркус объединяется с хакерской группой DedSec, чтобы противостоять системе глобального контроля ctOS 2.0, которую криминал использует, чтобы отслеживать и манипулировать жизнью горожан.

    This game will not start within 30 minutes the first time. In the internet the problem should be the old nvidia grafic tribers. but i cannot install a newer one with my GTX 870m graficcard. But in the game minimum specs a way older graficcard ist listet ( GTX 660). So 0 points for this game and this lie.

    I didn't even finish the first mission, the game is so boring and the controls are absolut trash (xbox controller). Graphics are not that impressive neither. No wonder they are giving it away for free everywhere

    Watch dogs 2 is good enough to make you feel a hacker. And hacking mechanics is awesome. You must play this game. But game end is not good.

    The graphics quality compared to the FPS cost is terrible. I can't think of a game that has a worse ratio. Maybe the first Watch Dogs game rivals it.

    I think, however the bugs, the animation problems ect. The game is good. I had a lot of fun playing. I loved the characters, especially Wrench of course.

    The only thing that I didn't like is, you can Make Marcus lethal. Sometimes you have to make him. But that doesn't stand with the message and propaganda. I mean, Marcus wouldn't kill Councillor's guards

    Piękna grafika, dobra optymalizacja. Bohaterowie próbują być trochę nad wyrost "cool". Dużo misji, niestety dosyć powtarzalnych.

    Unfortunately this game ends up on the pile of soulless open world games that try to hide their deficiencies in atmosphere, game design, mechanics, graphics and aesthetics with a failed and uninteresting multiplayer mode. Price considerations apart, this game is not worth your time.

    Has a rich and active world, but ironically NPCs have only a handful of facial variation. Some mechanics aren't as polished as in GTA V, but the fullness of the world and hacking stuff makes up for it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think Ubisoft recycle Assassin's Creed plots and aply them on Watch Dogs. Because they're so similar (Unity x WD1, Syndicate x WD2) and for some reason worse.
    They give you characters taken straight from psych ward, labile autists, transgenders, Neil Druckmann lookalike antagonist who's worse than Starrick, a black brotha that's there just to spread BLM propaganda and to die later in the game and I couldn't care less. These characters make Ray (who's in the game only to make a connection to the first game) look normal and Marcus, the protagonist, dull.
    The story is so boring, it made me skip the cutscenes and hammer x the dialogues. You keep invading cringe-ass named companies' HQs and downloading their data over and over again. Every single mission is to sneak in, download, sneak out.
    Marcus acts the whole game like a **** messiah and superhero who's saving the world and his friends.
    You'll spend the between-mission time by driving car rocket speed that is weirdly slow across the longest bridges in a game ever and listening to classical music because other radio music is ****
    There are some improvements: more options to do with hacking, more entertaining connect-wire minigame, better graphics    … Expand

    thanks to ubisoft, i don't even pay a single dollar for both wd1 and wd2.

    this game is actually fun, a pure fun to play. WD1 has the theme with gloomy, dark environtment, while WD2 has bright, cheerful, friendly and artsy. personally, i like WD1 more, but this works too. even though the map is small, it's really alive, the NPC really actually not a NPC, they all have personalities    thanks to ubisoft, i don't even pay a single dollar for both wd1 and wd2.

    the cons, the AI is smart, but annoying, they spot you once, the entire city know you there. although you can clearly prevent it by some really smart play.

    the story is okay, th writing is, too "millenials", i prefer WD1 in term of story. but gameplay, WD2 sure win a big part . 8/10 for me    … Expand

    I am surprised that is such a good game. Nice story and very good gameplay. I heard that driving cars is not so good but for me works perfectly fine (but it is less realistic then in GTA 5). Never the less this game is worth to play even in 2020.

    Better than Watch Dogs 1. This game is better in everything the prequel did. However it`s not perfect, and the violence could be developed in other way. Recommended.

    This game is one of the most underrated and underappreciated games I've ever played. The originality of the concept stands out so much with the help of it's story. The amount of things you can do is absolutely crazy. The world is great and feels so alive. Absolutely beautiful game.

    Watch Dogs 2 is everything the first game was, refined and expanded in every way.

Run-and-gun is just as fun, since it is encouraged to run around, create confusion and distract in order to execute your enemies with highest proficiency. The story is a fun, self-aware romp, full of fun and memorable characters and a long-awaited exploration of the first game's themes of corruption, mass surveillance and hacking. The game...is cool.

    Watch Dogs 2 is a pretty good game, that is dragged down by various flaws. First, the bright side of the game. Watch Dogs 2 is set in San Francisco, sun-bathed coastal city, tech innovation center.

Because most of the map is urban area, you will parkour your wayWatch Dogs 2 is a pretty good game, that is dragged down by various flaws. First, the bright side of the game. Watch Dogs 2 is set in San Francisco, sun-bathed coastal city, tech innovation center. While discovering the city, you'll stumble upon real life locations, such as Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz or Lombard Street. Because most of the map is urban area, you will parkour your way through the city. Parkour moves are well done and feel real. Hacking is done simply enough for everybody to understand, but also can be very challenging. Main characters are written very well, throughout the game, you create some sort of a bond woth them. Story is amazing and you really hope, that everything will work out well for our heroes. Game is full of little details, for example, if Marcus is wearing long shirt, or hoodie, lower end of it moves as Marcus walks.
    Unfortunately, Watch Dogs 2 has some big flaws, that are dragging the game down. Let's start with driving. Driving in this game is very bad, arcade style and you cant customize your cars much. Next on the list is shooting and guns. Watch Dogs 2 is trying to be like a hacking GTA, but since the game is meant to be stealth orientated, you cant actually go guns blazing. Still, the game is giving you a handful of guns to choose from, but only two of about 25 guns are silenced, which gives very little space for decision. Sounds of guns and way, that guns work are really arcade-like and poor. What i think is the biggest flaw of the game, are the missions. Until about half of the game, you have many side missions to pick, but from the half of the game I have no side missions to complete, so my only option was to rush main mission, because i couldn't do anything else. Some side missions are presented to you through your hacker group DedSec, some can be found throughout the world. No matter what you do, it seems like after you are past half of the game, you have no side missions. Thanks to that, you will complete the game rather quickly.
    After all, it's better game than Watch Dogs 1, but still can be improved a little.    … Expand

    Игра может доставлять удовольствие, если закрываешь глаза на ее минусы, а минусов здесь достаточно: физика автомобилей, физика стрельбы, звуки транспорта и стрельбы, некоторые автомобили выглядят пластмассовыми, оптимизации нет, вырвиглазный интерфейс.
    К плюсам можно отнести графику, красивейший Сан-Франциско, легкий сюжет (ну тут кому как), живые отношения между главными героями и npc.

    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]
