    This game isn't bad, but I like first WD is more. Of Course, in Watch Dogs 2 graphics is not many better and awesome physics, but I think storyline and gameplay in Watch Dogs is better than in Watch Dogs 2.

    Loved this game!

    Amazing graphics and aesthetics, better gameplay than the first game, overall a more sensible story, and fantastic characters and humor. I took 1 star for the following reasons: - The slow motion camera event when a police's car gets destroyed was removed :( - Console controls and design were annoying as **** I'm specifically talking about camera locks and    Loved this game!

    - The story is good but certain parts of feel forced.    … Expand

    I do enjoy some Open World Ubisoft games, I went into the game knowing it wasn’t just another crime GTA clone. This game has an interesting spin where you’re a hacker rather than just murderer who wants to kill everything. I also knew that there was a lot of character put into this game, they made their own memes, there are a lot of jokes, the characters are likable.

I also knew that there was a lot of character put into this game, they made their own memes, there are a lot of jokes, the characters are likable. On paper, it seemed like it was going to be something that is different but in a fun way.

    After a couple hours of the game, my first thought was. I really don’t enjoy City Open World Games. There is just too much going on, too many NPC’s around and driving is just not fun. I also didn’t enjoy a lot of the missions, they felt very Stealth Heavy and I just didn’t have any fun with any of the missions. I wanted to go guns blazing but that’s not this game. It just wasn’t fun.

    Sadly, this game is not fun for me. Different strokes and this game are not me. I don’t see myself playing this game ever again.    … Expand

    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.

    big improvements from the original watch dogs as they take the game a lot less seriously and have fun with it and the graphics that were shown off were what we got but the writing can be cringey at some points and on PC it is poorly optimised in some important locations across the map which is very well designed and contains a lot of funny pop culture references but random people can joinbig improvements from the original watch dogs as they take the game a lot less seriously and have fun with it and the graphics that were shown off were what we got but the writing can be cringey at some points and on PC it is poorly optimised in some important locations across the map which is very well designed and contains a lot of funny pop culture references but random people can join your session anytime which can be irritating at some times it is quite smooth with friends.… Expand

    - good humor : npcs; robots, car hacking...
    - charming characters
    - many ways to accomplish the missions
    - the bank van attacks offer epic moments when chased by police
    - San Francisco and the Silicon Valley are entertaining places
    - the jumper and the quadricopter are great ideas
    - many hacking possibilities
    - living city, NPCs
    - many activites : sailing...
    - the best graphics : high resolution textures awesome in 4K, many details, inspired city tags, long-range visibility, awesome weather (rain, fog), enjoyable tourist places to visit, It is really a pleasure to walk around
    - well-optimized : it is the first game to use the CPU cores efficiently : my 5960X overlcoked at 4500 Mhz is used at 60 % and at 80 % in a few places. SLI works great too.
    - mulitplayer included in the solo story
    - many hours : about 90 hours for every single mission and a few multi ones.

    Cons :
    - no manual saves
    - bad crouching movement : you can be crouched only by using the cover movement. If you no longer want to use the cover movement technique, you are no longer crouching.

    The best open-world game, better than Watch Dogs 1, GTA IV and V.    … Expand

    This game is very cool, the hacking system has been developed against the first part however the optimization is awful. This game is not for weak computers

    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.

    The game becomes repetitive and boring, the characters seem immature and the story is not very deep or interesting, the story of watch dogs 1 far exceeds it, the game has many things to do and with that extends its playing time , but there is nothing interesting, I do not recommend

    Personally, I liked Watch Dogs 2. This is a clear progress after the failed first part. Nice graphics, good optimization, interesting plot. But most of all, I liked the basic gameplay. Passing missions on the stealth has become several times more interesting!

    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.

    Прикольная игра без сюжета, но клевой задумкой. Присутствует клевое взаимодействие с окружающим миром (телефоны прохожих, машины, светофоры, шлагбаумы и тд.), но оптимизацию юбисофт не завезли, поэтому только 8

    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

    Within the first few minutes of playing the game, I fell in love with it.

    It was one of those games you don't want to leave, because it draws you in, the story is super interesting well written, amazing characrers, awesome choices that affects your playthrough.

    Highest possible praise from me

    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

    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.

    Jogão.
    Apesar do jogo ser problemático em sua otimização para a versão de PC e de possuir um quantidade exageradas de atividades repetitivas em seu mundo aberto, o jogo possui mais qualidades que defeito.
    Recomendo em uma boa promoção e em uma PC com no mínimo uma GTX 1070 pra ter uma experiência digna e satisfatória.

    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.

    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]
