    The game's story lacks consistency in seriousness, with some parts feeling less serious. The friendly AI is unintelligent and unhelpful, detracting from the gameplay experience. The graphics suffer in certain weather conditions, appearing unimpressive. The car physics are annoying and unrealistic. Overall, the game's flaws in story, AI, graphics, and car physics hinder enjoyment.

That being said, it is a decent story and the locations explored are also fun to visit.

    Gameplay is mainly stealth focused and whilst you can use stealth takedowns and non lethal weapons to get through the game without killing many people at all, guns are powerful enough that you can usually just go into an area all guns blazing and still complete the mission. I found overall that the funnest way to complete these stealth missions was to not enter the area at all and instead use the drone and jumper to do everything remotely and deal with the mission smoothly. You get a sense of achievement from breaching an area without being spotted as it feels like the correct way to play the game.

    In terms of the open world, you get to explore San Francisco and Silicon Valley. The weapons and hacks at your disposal make for some very funny situations as you can take control of NPCs' cars and mess about with people's phones and the traffic. The police are not very harsh and usually it is easy to escape them with a decent car but if you want a challenging police chase, you can just shoot the police and ram them with your vehicle to get them more angry and send stronger force after you. The NPCs are extremely stupid and you can barely interact with them but this just makes the game more fun in some situations.

    Overall, I would say this game is extremely enjoyable (especially the open world) but not a game that deserves to win any awards - a conclusion which really sums up a lot of Ubisoft games.    … Expand

My only (and large) complaint about the game is it's shallow story and character building. The story is really and I mean really generic. It doesn't explore any themes and to be brutally honest is slightly engaging at best. It falls into mediocrity and comes off as an afterthought which is disappointing as a good story would have really boosted this game towards being one of Ubisoft's bests. The characters as well don't really have any evolution and sometimes the writing doesn't match what the characters are made out to be (you'll see for yourself). If the characters weren't as interesting as they are initially, this game would be in some trouble for repeating its past mistakes but fear not because these characters are better than the 1st game's. So despite my complaints, I do find this to be a good game, one worthy of your time, just not your thought. Considering it is on Game-pass currently don't miss your chance to play this game.… Expand

    In a nutshell, this game is a Watch Dogs 1 with some new gameplay mechanics (hacking skills, vehicles, etc) and a far worse story.

    The gameplay is the best part of the game. 8/10. I had fun.

The open world is a lot improved, it doesn't feel so dead as WD1 because now there are people doing activities like Yoga, dancing, etc, you can hack and see their messages and interact with them but it also doesn't have too many activities to do, so it isn't a perfect open world it is. The game still has the same bad physics at driving but that isn't an issue for me, I even had fun laughing at how bad it is. The missions have the same approach as WD1, you can do the mission in 3 different ways: Rambo Style, stealth mode or just hacking with your drone. Aside from hacking the 2 first options are fun and I had fun.

    But what really disappointed me is the story. For me, it is 2/10. It is completely forgettable and it is really bad. It is basically a bunch of guys trying to stop a Silicon Valley villain that simply doesn't expire fear at all. And the worst part, they discarded completely Aiden Pierce that was a good character.

    The graphics are similar to Watch Dogs 1. They are good but aren't top tier.    … Expand

    The gameplay is improved but it's lost all the edge of the original, pandering more to kids, and covering themselves by ticking every diversity box in the process. Compared to its predecessor, the plot of WD2 is uninspiring and dull and makes progressing through the game pointless.

Кошмар. В принципе игра понравилась.
    Но вот вышла Watch Dogs 2 и начинается игра вроде ничего так, но после 3х часов я почему то начал ненавидеть своего протагониста и его друзей. А затем после гибели Горация, я захотел собственноручно расстрелять всех своих друганов, а Маркуса повесить на ближайшем суку. Мне было противно проходить до конца эту игру и прошел её только потому, что заплатил за диск 3000 рублей.
    В чем же причина?
    А причина в сюжете! Если в Watch Dogs я играл за Эйдена, человека потерявшего ребенка из за бандюков, мстящего за свою семью, борющегося с системой уничтожившей его жизнь! То в Watch Dogs 2 я играю за молодого распиздяя, который занимается хакерством для того, что бы заработать бабла. И друганы его занимаются тем же. Вот есть город, в котором живут люди, работают и зарабатывают деньги, пользуются всеми благами 21 века в лице ctOS 2 и всем глубоко плевать на то кто всем этим руководит и сколько он за это гребёт. Главное всем хорошо. Но нет. Появляются эти придурки и начинают "бороться с системой". Взламывать сети, разорять заводы, заставляя жителей города сидеть без работы, короче делают жизнь простых людей невыносимой. А потом когда они буквально подставляют своего дружка Горация, то обвиняют во всем.......ну конечно систему. Я не хочу ассоциировать себя с этими придурками, а значит, и играть за них.
    Вот в чем причина!
    Ещё одна странность. Зачем то взяли и уничтожили нормальное оружие, теперь оно напечатано на 3d принтере, а поэтому и выглядит, и звучит, и стреляет соответственно.
    В общем, такое ощущение, что делали игру для людей 10 - 15 лет. А я, к сожалению, вырос из этого возраста.
    Но есть и хорошие отличия от первой части, например убрали наконец эти грёбаные обязательные автопокатушки.
    И ещё появился коптер!

    Watch dogs 2 is cool, killing enemies with hacking is all fun, but I felt like this is one boring ass game. It's really repetitive, weak characters, driving physics are broken, empty open world.

But if you are expecting new GTA5 experience, this is not it. Going to the most i hate, The radio track is so bad and dumb. very lazy attempt.

Sneaking and gunfights is where I hated this game, it seems like with or without Autoaim i could not get this down, it really failed, again GTA 5 was much more refined in the way it performed combat.

    Watch Dogs 2 is one of the worst sequels in the gaming world I've ever experienced.

    Actually I might go as far as saying Watch Dogs 2 is one of the worst stories in the gaming world I've ever experienced. I'm a big fan of the original Watch Dogs. The game is infamous due to having one of the most impressive and misleading pre-release trailers in history. Smooth pretty visuals and    Watch Dogs 2 is one of the worst sequels in the gaming world I've ever experienced.

    Actually I might go as far as saying Watch Dogs 2 is one of the worst stories in the gaming world I've ever experienced.

    I'm a big fan of the original Watch Dogs. The game is infamous due to having one of the most impressive and misleading pre-release trailers in history. Smooth pretty visuals and impressive weather and physics effects, but when the game released it was fps locked on pc, and had much more reduced weather and physics effects.
    A lot of people were disappointed with the final product, however I played it despite this and ended up really liking the story and finding the game very fun.

    So along comes a sequel, and I the protagonist form the original is gone. The story of the original is gone. In fact the only thing that carries over is "technology used by authoritarianism is bad", everything else is very watered down and poorly conveyed.

    The plot of WD2 is one of the most boring and uninteresting plots of any game I've ever played. There's no cohesive narrative, just a series of half missions that somewhat link together.
    Instead of a proper plot you just have an "app" on a "phone" where you have to find missions. This is the least engaging way of doing a story I've seen. the main goal of the game is to get 'followers' (urgh).

    But the overall story being dull and fragmented isn't even the main issue with the game, the main characters are incredibly boring and unlikable. It's just a bunch of forgettable and uninteresting geeks that have absolutely no personalities or relationship with each other.
    I couldn't get myself to care about any of the characters, there's no depth to any of them (unlike Aiden Pearce from the original) and any attempts of humor is extremely cringeworthy.

    Additionally the main mission design is just tedious. 95% of the game is just the same thing over and over again: "Hack a device" and to do so, unlock doors, sneak to the device, hold triangle, then sneak out. That's pretty much it, there's barely any level variation in Watch Dogs 2. Which is a real shame as Watch Dogs 1 was much more varied, fun and interesting.

    The only variation you might get on that is the 2 gadgets Marcus gets: a jumper (remote control car that jumps) and a quadcopter (drone). You have to save up to buy them, but once you buy them you realise most missions are actually designed to be completed using them. Every level has little ramps or doors for them to sneak though, and if they get detected and destroyed, they just respawn.
    Without them Marcus has to try to sneak himself and if he gets seen he gets killed, enemies are countless and heavily armoured.

    The only issue with these gadgets are: there's no variation, every level is the same, and all you do is the same repeated actions of sneaking around trying to reach the objective items to hack. And that many missions force Marcus to hack one item on the level so you end up having to sneak marcus in anyway negating anything you've done with the jumper or drone.

    Occasionally you'll get a power puzzle, which is kind of like a pipe-mania minigame of linking fuses with electricity. After about 50 of these they start to get a little boring.

    And that's pretty much it. The only variation I found was some remote control vans side missions and a couple of pretty unique final missions involving robots and satellites which were the only parts of the game I actually enjoyed.

    WD2 focuses on stealth much more than WD1, which is fine, but then all the abilities are locked away and need a lot of grinding to unlock, so without those hack upgrades and gadget purchases you will find you struggle a fair bit to start with.

    In the end I found myself trying to power through the story to get it over with just so that i could enjoy the sandbox of the world of San Francisco. And San Fran is great, exploring the world and finding side missions and unlockables is far more fun than the story. Once you find enough research points and schematics it means you can do almost everything via hacking and remote control. The game becomes far more interesting without being Marcus and just living in hackerspace. You can start arranging gang assassinations and forging evidence on people and arranging arrests on targets. Solving the puzzles, and hacking intel via camera, jumper and drone without needing to actually risk yourself by doing anything via the protagonist.

    Although as mentioned above, sadly this still gets very repetitive, I wish there was SOME variation in this game.

    The controls aren't the most intuitive in this game, and aren't really explained to you well. The main button to do everything is L1, but if you hold L1 you get to do different actions, but these actions are represented by the least clear icons I've seen, so you really have to memorize what everything is. I don't recall being so confused starting the original Watch Dogs.    … Expand

As, some people has said it looks a bit to GTA because of the driving and the city but nothing else. Missions are different but over time, you'll see that some of them are a bit repetitive. I think this game would improve with a good tutorial because some missions are very difficult from the begining and enemies keep coming no matter what you do. I didn't like that. Many times I had to low the volume because the music was horrible (too modern). About graphics, these are quiet good. I like to play the games in English but because the subtitles were tiny (and I have a huge tv) I decided to play it in Spanish (which by the were, the voices were good). Also, if you don't know how to find the main missions, go to the map and filter it to find the main missions. If you don't find any, go to Head Quarters (HQ). To sum up, this could have been a better game with less enemies, a good tutorial and more variety of missions. About the plot let's say it's ok. Not my kind of game. Oh, and don't ask me why (or maybe I know, because of the enemies never ending coming and was very repetitive and difficult) it reminds me Just Cause 2; a game I bought for my ps3 years ago and that I hated so much that I end up quitting after some hours.… Expand

    > The story is god-awful, bland and boring, some of the worst Ubisoft tropes when talking about villains.

    > Not a lot of meaningful or interesting things to do as side missions.    … Expand

    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.

    Despite the MP issues, Watch Dogs 2 hacks this series back on track with its gorgeous locales, and silly emergent fun. Marcus isn’t *quite* our cup of tea, but he sure beats the hell out of the last guy. [January 2016, p71]
