Jun 17, 2014AMD card working fine for me; visually fine, great hacking and combat play, only marks down are for the slightly lightweight (emphasis: only slightly lightweight) plot and troublesome driving mechanics on keyboard/mouse.

Jul 13, 2014Graphically fantastic once modded, overall story okay but game gets rapidly repetitive and unsatisfying. Earn lots of money but not much to spend it on - outfits all look largely the same, weapons can't be upgraded and much of the time spend with grenade launcher and silenced handgun. Devs could learn a lot from games like Skyrim that have more configurable gameplay.

Sep 26, 2014I need to write - I do not complete this game - but its not so bad like most of users are saying. If you will not compare it to GTA5 you will be find and maybe you will fins a little fun playing this sandbox

Jul 5, 2014It wasn't as fun as I thought. Not nearly. The police attack you even if you didn't do anything, and the cars suck. Also there isn't much to hack early on in the game, and it's so hard, so it gets boring.

Jul 6, 2014Watch Dogs does a lot right and has a few game-play mechanics that may seem original but, fall short of their potential. The sneak system is just like Farcry 3's and shares a lot of the same environment style elements of assassins creed, mix that with extremely repetitive missions and you have Watch Dogs. This game has a lot of potential but, it just isn't there yet.

Jul 17, 2014The game is good for the first chapter, but starting from chapter 2 onward i feel the games attractiveness has degradated greatly, lack creativity in mission. However the graphic is ok

Sep 17, 2014this game is good.. but BEYOND DISAPPOINTING !

Jan 7, 2021This game seems to have a interesting concept, I gave it a good go, but overall Iam finding the game boring and mediocre. Iam not enjoying it and would rather play something I would enjoy.
-
Sep 23, 2014The game's great, maybe the story line wasn't as interesting as in other similar titles but the game play was spot on and very enjoyable for many hours. Oh, and a small tip to people that say there's nothing to do in the city CHECK THE MAP.

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.
