    this game is bad. This is proof that as much pretty graphics you can throw at the developer (to make a gta clone) it fails to be special and express itself as an individual game.

As expected, it is half baked and unpolished with numerous bugs even thought it came out in 2016. Just goes to show how much Ubisoft themselves value this IP. Similarly to them i do not appreciate this game as well. Easy zero.… Expand

    One thing ruins the game completely. It's the police. If you like the GTA police chasing, this game is not like that. They are much more ridiculous. They just randomly generate police cars out of nowhere. If you think you are smart to drive off-road onto a hill, there will be a police car waiting for you there as well.

And it's not optional, they added a pursuit as early as the first mission, although it's a side mission, the game just switches to the mission without telling you. Even if you don't count that, the second mission is a full-blown car chase mission. How does Ubi have the cheek to force players to do car chase, especially when it's a half-baked lame clone of GTA?… Expand

    So worried about being woke that they forgot what FUN f-ing gameplay is. Jesus christ does Ubisoft even knwo what they are doing? Can tell in the last 6 years that they are clueless on how to make a good game. That Alcatrez m ission has to be the worst **** I've seen in my life.

    Играл в первый Watch Dogs очень понравилось, а в 2 часть не советую играть игра очень такая себе, концовка слишком простая и унылая, и финал ощущается как обычная миссия

    Before we talk about gameplay, let's talk about technical issues. If you have a PS4 Fat or PS4 Slim l, save your money because this game has a lot of Screen Tearing, you can't drive a car fast like GTA V because there will be a lot of Screen Tearing happening in many places, for example in the middle of San Francisco in buildings with a garden on the roof.

    "Does Screen Tearing happen    Before we talk about gameplay, let's talk about technical issues.

    "Does Screen Tearing happen while walking?" The answer is yes, for example at Nudies place, when you want to see the view, turn your camera and Boom Screen Tearing occurs. It's a shame considering the world is so beautiful.

    Save your money but if you are curious and still want to buy, I suggest waiting for a discount like I did for 7$ in my country (Indonesia). For the best choice, buy XB Series S or Series X because there you will get a Booster until the game runs smoothly at 60fps. It's a shame that PS5 can't play this game at 60fps instead of 30 fps (Series S can be 60fps with specifications below PS5).

    If Sony doesn't repent, we can already see the winner of the next "specs" niche console battle    … Expand

    The most disgusting game I've played in months. Not so long ago I went through the first Watch Dogs, as for me, it is much better. The first part is at least somewhat completed, the second was released for **** "These suckers will eat, the main thing is to release it as soon as possible!" The first part is famous for its "cool" car control. Well, I didn't think it could get any worse.The most disgusting game I've played in months.

Well, it's okay, you can get used to it. The moment due to which the second part becomes **** - stealth mechanics. They just don't work. What's the point of playing at all? This is a game about hackers, I have to do everything quietly, and not take a pissed machine gun with a grenade launcher and fall into the base, this is stinking nonsense! I officially wish Ubisoft game designers to crap! If the developers stupidly copied half of the game, including animations, sounds, a **** car, broken PvP mechanics, weapons, what was the problem with transferring the only game mechanic that worked well - stealth? The only reason I give this game a 4 is because of the soundtrack and the setting.… Expand

    Disappointment and Frustration.
    Totally boring and monotonous gameplay. 90% of all quests you'll do one and same things over and over again! Story is good but not more. Characters are interesting but they should be more complicated.
    Geek references is the best part of this game.
    Don't play it or any game of this franchise.

    The story is one of the worst in the game. Characters without personality. They try to be cool with every phrase and action and they fail. Driving is the same as in the first part.

    The b.s.o. very poor in quality and variety. Missions end up being repetitive

    Only the recreation of the city is saved a little

    The game has a more solid gameplay, as more variants to play every mission. I felt that it's harder also on normal mode. Some missions required me to take my time to complete them and sneak around because if not 95% sure i'm dead. Also, it has a ton more side-quests to do. And the intresting part it's that you can make the mission by step, while you jump to other main or side-.quest, soThe game has a more solid gameplay, as more variants to play every mission.

    While it has a different approach to the reasons of the existing hacker group, i felt the story wasn't up to the game and it's predecessor. It's not obligatory to play WD1 to play this game, but you will understand more if you do. Specially with one of the characters that joins your group.

    The final mission was disappointing for me. It wasn't hard at all, and it was done very quickly. The history ending was bitter to me too. I felt that was ok, but I kept thinking "ok... i did all of this and the antagonist only says a few words and thats it, bye?"

    Post-game you can play the sidequests if you want, but besides that, you aint have much more to do. I wouldn't keep playing for the side quests.

    The bright side of the game, joining the improved gameplay, its the city of San Francisco. I think its quite beautiful and the landscape varies a lot, I really liked that.

    Overall, I think it's an overrated game. It's ok for chilling, it has some intresting things, but nothing too crazy for me.    … Expand

    Characters and the story is 2 dimensional. Story is poor. Gameplay has improved since the first game but the story got worse. Caharacters are so shallow that I for the first time in a long time I have skipped quite a lot of cutscenes.side stories are not interesting either. Glad it is finished.

    Uninspired tripe. Un-skippable cutscenes, and the forced use of Ubisoft Club to be able to play online. Sadly 'Ubisoft Club' experiences online issues so frequently you'll be lucky to ever get online with friends. Last straw for me, no more of my hard earned money going on games from Ubisoft for uninspired rinse and repeat gameplay.

    I wasn't happy with the first game and this one didn't make any better impression. Actually, it felt worse. The main reason is an average (if it is even average) story and emotionless side missions like "go there and do that 10 times in a row". I quit it after few hours of playing.

The jokes are terrible, the story is downright cringeworthy as it tries so hard to be "hip" and "edgy", as for the missions just buy GTA 5. They're better designed and fun. One of the first missions in this game is to steal a cybercar (i know) and escape the police. It's actually easy to do, but if anything happens to the car while you're out (you can't escape the police in the car; i mean they spawn on the roads in front of you.. it's enough to make Ghost Recon 2 blush) then it's a mission failure. The whole thing feels poorly thought out, don't worry there's a premium store for your real money, if anyone has ever bought anything from it, they should be tagged and helped by the government for their mental illness.

    This is lazy open world development at it's worst, it's over cliched and the physics look designed by a 12 year old. The truck i drove, was 90% tipped over then righted itself. I'm not sure how that's possible.

    Despite a few flaws, Watch Dogs 2 delivers where the original game failed. The game has improved on every aspect and provides a vibrant city with lots of hacking fun. The story is dull without any special moments but the immersive open world with lots of quests will keep you entertained.

    Watch Dogs 2 brilliantly solves the main issue the first game had while providing a world full of enjoyable missions. We faced some problems with the camera, especially during the car race. We also faced some issues with connectivity and online play. In the end, Watch Dogs 2 is a game that delivers in most aspects and provides hours of enjoyable content.
