Aug 14, 2023When I finished this game It become my best game ever played maybe this game hated when cameout because of E3 graphics not the same in original graphics but graphics still nice
-

Aug 2, 2022This was actually great game. Feels bad that some people got triggered for it not being like trailer, but it still looks good. graphically one of the better looking games from 2014, Ubisoft of course did it even better with Unity same year, but still. Good game, that feels like GTA, but with hacker twist.

Jul 7, 2022I played through at least 10 times, I'm not bothered by the over-hype, this is a very good game, I don't care what others say.
-
Mar 22, 2022Extremely and unfairly underrated. This game wasn't GTA V level (obviously), but it wasn't bad at all. I personally love both watch dogs and GTA V.
-
Mar 13, 2022Great fun game, has solid graphics by 2014 standard. Anyone expecting this to have 2022 graphics is delusional, it look perfectly fine even now and gameplay holds up well. Overall this game is way better than empty, modern open world games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Elden Ring.

Feb 23, 2022This game shouldn't be called Watch_Dogs, it should be called "Underrated", because that's what it is. One of the most atmospheric open world cities (modern) of all time. I like GTA 4 and GTA 5 more, but Watch_Dogs is very closely behind them in 3rd spot.

Jan 22, 2022Не сказал бы, что согласен с большинством критикующих эту игру. Да, сюжет не огонь, но атмосфера хороша (её бы к сюжету второй части).

Dec 11, 2021One of my favorite games of all time, seriously well made game. Yeah not perfect, but nothing is.
-
Dec 6, 2021Very good little game, good story, even if the main thread is short. Sometimes it might be repetitive if you want to push it to 100%, but it’s a very good game.
-
Dec 4, 2021Очень крутой сюжет и геймплей. Я такого не встречал ни в одной игре до этого. И графика очень приятная, особенно вода и ветер.
-
Nov 30, 2021Great game, got hate because entitled lazy gamers never even tried it. They were like "huh downgraded? must be trash". Actually looks pretty good for a 2014 game and has fun open world and nice story.
-
Nov 28, 2021One of my favorite semi-futuristic, city-centric, open-world games. I can't believe it was so underrated when it came out, but seems like over the years, lots of people have finally found this game and it gets the respect it truly deserves!
-
Nov 26, 2021Amazing game in 2021! Don't listen to the negative reviews. Most of them are to do with performance issues that were fixed a long time ago. The game is much better now and is totally worth buying in 2021!
-
Sep 29, 2021Basically it got hate because it didn't look like E3 trailer and that's fair, but i never saw that E3 trailer, maybe i'm lucky, but i wasn't even waiting for this game. In fact first time i heard about this game was the day it released lol. So basically i had no idea what this game even was and i found out it's open wo

Sep 19, 2021Aiden Pearce is legendary protagonist. I like him here and in DLC in Watch Dogs Legion. Cars physics is terrible. But story very good. Graphics looks great.
-
Sep 18, 2021Watch Dogs 2 was absolutely awful and i was really disappointed in basically everything they did with Watch Dogs 2. But Watch Dogs 1 is absolutely amazing and one of the most enjoyable games Ubisoft has ever made. Highly recommending, if you like GTA 4 or GTA 5.
-
Aug 23, 2021Good old classic. This user score was rigged when this game came out, but it's actually very popular on youtube, just check some recent watch dogs videos. Overall very good game.

Aug 22, 2021One of the best games of all time, i'm serious btw. This game has way more depth than some people think. There's so many places to explore and have fun.
-
Aug 22, 2021Very good open-world gta style game, but it's different thanks to hacking elements. Very cool.
-
Aug 4, 2021One of my favorite open world games of all time. Seriously, it's great. there's almost no other game with dark and gritty atmosphere like Watch Dogs has. It's raining all the time, it has interesting city design. It's almost like Max Payne, but it's open world and you can hack everything. Amazing.
-
Aug 4, 2021Watch Dogs is amazing game and so underrated that it's almost sad. People who say that it has bad graphics, don't understand graphics at all. Just cause it has different graphics from E3 trailer, doesn't mean it automatically has bad graphics. It looks great and is very fun game.
-
Aug 4, 2021Bel gioco divertente, bella grafica, il tono generale di questo gioco è davvero buono. Dovrebbero fare più giochi come questi.

Aug 4, 2021لعبة ممتعة جميلة رسومات جميلة لهجة بشكل عام لهذه اللعبة جيدة حقًا. يجب أن يصنعوا المزيد من الألعاب مثل هذه.
-
Jul 31, 2021One of my favorite modern-open world-city games, just behind GTA V. Hacking mechanics makes it fun and stand out more than games like Sleeping Dogs. Nice atmosphere, decently designed city. It could have had more, but at the same time, it has just enough content.
-
Jul 29, 2021Watch Dogs 1 (PC Version) is stunning open world (similar to GTA series) hacker-action game, hopefully they make WD3 about Aiden.

Jul 12, 2021Not regretting trying it, here's the lesson, never take negative reviews seriously on metacritic until you have tried certain game for yourself. You might miss out on many outstanding games that are hated for dumb reasons.

Jul 12, 2021Graphics in this game were ahead of it's time, looking at trash games like cyberpunk2077 makes me like games like this even more (and overall open-world as well)

Pelit (Finland)Sep 3, 2014Ubisoft's flagship title has a really, really repulsive protagonist. The entire storyline feels like it was cranked out of a automated story generator. On the positive side, Watch Dogs looks really good on PC, especially after modding the graphics to match the visual splendor of the early E3 demos. [Aug 2014]
-
PC PowerPlayJun 29, 2014There are some strong gameplay elements in Watch Dogs, but overall it's merely an adequate open world game. [July 2014, p.46]
-
Jun 23, 2014Nothing could have realistically lived up to the immense level of hype that Ubisoft stirred up for this game, and while I value strong narratives and envelope-pushing technological advancements, I place just as much importance in the ability to enjoy the gameplay that's being offered to me. Watch Dogs is one of the more exciting sandbox games of the last few years, and if this is to become Ubisoft's next big franchise, I'm excited to see where they take it.
