    It is what the first one should have been. Three years ago.

    The drone is a nice implementation and the overall game is a much better experience than the first one, but driving is still horrible, radio is irrelevant and changing stations muddles the gameplay as it covers the map (pretty stupid design, imo), guns don't really fit the narrative and online is good, but not too far from what    It is what the first one should have been.

    Characters and dialogues make me cringe most of the time and graphics are nothing to write home about. Ubisoft finally got rid of the damn towers in the game, but the gameplay is still somewhat repetitive after just a few hours.

    There is also a lot of loading. They are not long, but they are quite a few. It's an interesting purchase if you enjoy the open world type of gaming like myself, but I wouldn't get it for a full price.    … Expand

    Watchdogs 2 hits a better tone than the first game, making you part of a hacking crew rather than being a random angry loner. This gives the whole game a much more fun and lighthearted vibe that I really loved.

    Surprisingly for an Ubisoft game, it is not chock full of repetitive busywork, and the developers did a good job of making the side missions fun and varied, at least from a story perspective. That said I did have a couple of gripes.

    Man, the security guards, are nuts! There are no warnings stand in the wrong place, even if you're not doing anything wrong and they will blast you in the face with a shotgun. You also feel a little underpowered compared to the first game. Getting away from the police is much harder and if you get a chopper on your tail good luck!

    *Note I turned off the multiplayer because being invaded when you're just trying to get from one end of the city to the other and being forced to play a game of hide and seek is never, ever fun.    … Expand

    The graphics aren't great and the controls are a bit clunky, but I found myself just wanting to keep playing. You really have to use your brain in some areas, and I do like the whole hacking based plot. Decent game, definitely worth playing.

    +Self-aware script and dialogue
    +Grounded enough to be speculative satire.
    +Unconventional characters not typically used by most developers.

    Downgrades from Watch_Dogs 1 (that I noticed)
    -Explosions are basically immediate kills to yourself whereas in the original it causes a staggering animation. (This may make multiplayer less fun unless this only applies to Single-player)
    -Animations are pretty much downgraded from the first game, mobility doesn't seem as realistic in the sequel.
    -Much more convoluted controls, harder to focus on certain aspects as you gain new abilities. (Such as Equipping tools and accessing NPC's profiles.)

    Overall, this might just be one of the best open-world sandbox games out there, depending on what you're looking for. To get the most out of it, you should be prepared to explore and do the side-quests, otherwise you're looking at a pretty short game.    … Expand

    Very enjoyable game that is better than the original! Take the story as if its the 1990 in the world of "Hackers", don't take it too seriously. The gameplay mechanics are much improved, the city feels alive.

    I like to play for between 1-2 hours before switching to another game, it's not a game I would play non-stop as it is a bit repetitive

    The game looks great and I'm fine with the characters. Doesn't run that well and the driving is horrible. In a game based in an open world SF you NEED good driving.

I know everyone gives that game **** but I honestly think its much better than this. Also I really just don't care about whats going on in this game....its like trying to have the social commentary of GTAV but falls flat or it covers things that GTA already covered. Shame cause I really wanted an open world Co-Op game and when its not in motion it looks really good. I just feels sorts cheap. Oh well, I bought it digitally so if they patch in some fixes and maybe fix the driving I will def jump back in.… Expand

    I just finished the main campaign and I can say this is a fun but frustrating game. The basic hacking skills like spamming someones phone or ear piece work well and are a bit OP. The more complicated hacking skills like changing street lights etc are completely useless.

I didn't use those skills even 1 time because there wasn't a need and they just weren't as well done as the original game strangely. Graphicly this game is gorgeous. As someone who lived in the Bay Area most of my life Ubisoft did an amazing job highlighting the key parts of the various cities. I felt like I was running and driving around home! On my laptop it ran pretty smoothly most of the time with hiccups in FPS here or there that minorly hampered the experience. At one point it glitched out during the mission complete cut scene and made me repeat a pretty long mission which was annoying. Mission types are pretty much rinse and repeat the same few types of mission and aren't nearly as creative at GTA 5. However, the characters were very likable and 100X better than Aiden Pearce. As a group they seemed like a real-world group of friends. The story was nothing to write home about. The villain was like a watered down Bond Villain in that he's intelligent, capable and taken seriously from start to finish rather than being made a full of like in some games. However, overall the game doesn't take itself too seriously with a lot of light hearted humor. Top to bottom this is an average-good game. Fun to knock out over a weekend and never touch again.… Expand

    defiantly better than the first one. the story falls a little bit short, uninterested and the vibe doesn't feel so movie or something. i like the city and i loved the so many different ways you can approach any mission. from the other hand the missions are repetitive. music, clothing, guns, cars atc. i think are uninspired. not the strong suite of ubisoft. still a good game but nothing more.

    Enjoyed the first one and enjoyed this. The biggest problem is that its not GTA5 but not many games are, I would say its GTA5-lite so if you're into that then you should enjoy it. GFX are good but running animation is a bit pants.

    Games have to be fun and this in the main is mostly. you can dip in and out of online games and there is enough there to pick up for 5 minutes or for an hour.

    Using the radio controlled toys are good too.

    Downside is that police do get aggravated too easily which is a bug bear when they ram you too much despite turning them inside out they will always be there in a chase, i generally give up now rather than go through the laborious process of the chase.

    Also the missions are a little easy and you don't really have to use hacks, but for more enjoyment try and avoid reverting to guns.

    I was expecting a bit more mini-games on the hacking side.    … Expand

Un protagonista mas vivo y carismatico con una historia algo mas interesante. Los fallos graficos abundan en este juego, consigue de alguna forma lo que queria, asemejarse un poco mas al GTA.

Missions are also a lot more fun than Watch Dogs 1. However, I strongly dislike the enemy AI, mainly because of how difficult and questionable they are. Antagonist is also kinda forgettable.

    I got this game early after pre-ordering (like 5 days early....) and while it's definitely an improvement from Watch Dogs 1, its definitely not perfect. The other reviews barely touch on the main issues of the game, they only give it the rating with out really going into why (ugh).

    You CAN play the game in lethal mod, but its honestly way too easy when I tried it.

    You CAN play the game in lethal mod, but its honestly way too easy when I tried it. If i did, I think I'd have a different take on it. As far as I can see, there's no real consequences from playing stealth vs non-stealth. I'm not entirely finished the game as I am trying to go through all the sidequests, but the more I play it, the more I become bored, but at the same time the more I want to explore.

    Things I love:
    - The premise and setting of the game. It's very much targeted towards up and coming tech, like being able to 3D print weapons, having control of a drone and RC jumper in missions which is so cool to use. The city is beautiful and feels so alive.

    - The availability of weapons and ways to play through the missions. It IS in fact possible to do the majority of missions with out even stepping into the danger zone and you have a huge arsenal at your disposal.

    - The references in the plot to our tech culture and pop culture references, like taking revenge on WD2 version of Martin Shrikelli, Silicon Valley references, and so on.

    - Its harder. They've centralized hacking to be more puzzle like, and then made the puzzles are harder. Collecting and finding things are harder. It's actually a challenge, whereas in WD1 its "go rambo mode, press a button here, complete mission." I think the game is only a challenge if you go stealth.

    Things I dont love:

    - Some of the side-mission plots, or hell even some of the main plots don't make a whole lot of sense. Some mission are really fun and run parallel to our world (like say, having a Scientology-like church exist) and are really satisfying to do, but others are questionable and its like "why is this hacker group doing this again?"

    - There are STILL "go to this point here, collect this thing" kind of stuff. No more of Ubisofts "do this to reveal section of the map" but ugh. Some of it is hidden as well, where you have to take a picture of the landmark. In some ways its cool as in "oh hey cool look at this SF landmark they put into the game" but when you're in a car chase or you accidentally drive by it, now its like "ugh I have to find a way back here somehow to collect this thingy".

    Bit of Both:
    - No consequences from playing stealth vs non-stealth. No changes in plot, no changes in XP ("followers") amount. You can play either or style. In some ways this is good because it really gives you the freedom to really do whatever you want. But considering how freaking overpowered you get, non-stealth would be super easy mode.

    - Most of the missions are all essentially the same. Get into building - hack the things - get out. It gets extremely repetitive. Main mission and side missions are all the same thing.

    So, I DID get it during amazons E3 sale, so I didn't buy it at full price. While I didn't regret my purchase, I would probably be more upset if this had costed me more.    … Expand

    It's good but its no GTA. I've played less than 10 hours of it but I can already see repetition emerging and I'm wondering if I'll bother finishing missions like the graffiti one. You drive somewhere climb a building, hold triangle for a couple of seconds then repeat over and over.

You drive somewhere climb a building, hold triangle for a couple of seconds then repeat over and over. Another issue is the driving, its far too forgiving, you can crash a motorbike into a truck on the highway and stay on the bike, it takes a lot of effort to actually fall off the thing.

    I quite like the story so far and the main characters seem well written at this point. The missions seem to be the problem, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of depth. Even the missions that have a bit of puzzle solving to them are kind of easy and repetitive. In some cases it seems like a telltale games type story where you just have to press a button and watch the cut scene. It seems to be lacking a sense that the gamer is capable of performing complex tasks and it takes that away from you by getting you to press triangle and the system performs the action.

    There is plenty of novelty value in the game and the knight rider inspired mission was a really good set piece if a little uncomplicated. San Francisco looks great and its fun to explore, you do get a sense of scale without it taking ages to get from A-to-B. The police seem a bit oblivious, I saw a guy was being pulled over on his bike, I took the bike and no one chased me even though there were about 3 or 4 police cars around.

    There is one final thing that bugs me, the cars you steal disappear! I parked up went in a went through a cut scene came back out and the car was gone. This has happened many times and is really annoying when you have to spend the next couple of minutes trying to hijack another vehicle.

    As its early in the game there is a chance the missions will get more difficult but I'm not sure. Overall I like the game but if I didn't have it I'd certainly wait till it comes down in the sales. I have a feeling it might fall in price quickly.    … Expand

    I liked WD2 way more than the first one. The concept of a hacker group felt right in the sunny world of San Fransico. The missions were fun but sometimes repetitive. Huge negative point were the driving mechanics. It was so bad yet a crucial part of the gameplay. The story was a little thin and characters needed a bit more background but after all a nice experience.

The characters were move alive than Aiden Pierce from the first game but I just found them annoying, except Ray he was pretty decent. Driving was fun but very sluggish, GTA 5 feels more refined in that aspect. 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. Soundtrack was killer and was the different types of hacks you could do. I loved controlling cars to create chaos. All in all it was worth a play and an easy platinum.… Expand

    Really, the 2 game in the Watch Dogs franchise from UBISOFT, manages to far surpass the 1, in graphic questions, evolution and choice and even very well made combinations of the characters, which manage to amuse the player, and entertain with the story in a way "light" and relaxed, so even though I expected more from the graphics, I had a lot of fun playing Watch Dogs 2, making it a goodReally, the 2 game in the Watch Dogs franchise from UBISOFT, manages to far surpass the 1, in graphic questions, evolution and choice and even very well made combinations of the characters, which manage to amuse the player, and entertain with the story in a way "light" and relaxed, so even though I expected more from the graphics, I had a lot of fun playing Watch Dogs 2, making it a good game, but one that lacks the physics and bugs that hinder gameplay and the game itself.… Expand

    Quite okay but I don't like the "fresh and colorful" new look. I wish they kept the dark tone of the first game.

    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]
