    It's not a perfect experience by any stretch. Technical hiccups and pacing issues are glaring enough to leave Grand Theft Auto V's open-world crown unmoved—but just barely. Watch Dogs 2 builds upon a pretty good foundation from the last game with most of the trappings you'll want from a zillions-of-hours open-world quest.

    Where Watch Dogs 2 leads the field is in closing the thematic gap between our world and the open world, and in offering players more ways to hit their targets than those delivered down the barrel of a gun. [Recommended]

    In the end, the world of Watch Dogs 2 isn't nightmarish at all. Rather than trying to present players with a twisted or overly satirized reflection of our world, Watch Dogs 2 shows us a world that is wild, bright, unpredictable, delighted with itself, and most importantly, alive.

    I liked Watch Dogs 2, though perhaps not quite as much as it wanted me to like it. It is a significant improvement over its predecessor, filled with challenges that tested my problem-solving skills. It compensates for its technical shortcomings with a raft of interesting new ideas and a near-endless supply of things to do. Its motley crew of hackers won me over with their unflappable enthusiasm, and its loving recreation of San Francisco made me nostalgic for a city that I’m generally happy to have left behind. All that, and little flying robots, too.

    Completely uninspired artwork featuring most of the same rinse, wash, repeat gimmicks from the first game (similar to the yearly installmentsCompletely uninspired artwork featuring most of the same rinse, wash, repeat gimmicks from the first game (similar to the yearly installments of the Assassin's Creed series). The game's style almost feels like it's mocking and laughing at the hip, trendy, holier-than-though populous of SF.
    I guess it appeals for the young "I-hate-my-parents" kids out there who want to rebel. Definitely selling.    … Full Review »
