    Es el mejor en ambientación de los 3, la ciudad se siente viva! Con npcs haciendo cada uno una cosa diferente, gráficos que a día de hoy 2023, han envejecido bastante bien, su historia es algo floja y las físicas de conducción son horrendas pero todo lo demás, es fenomenal!

    This game is just all out fun time. It takes itself seriously only a few times because it recognizes what it should be. Fun, mediocre, big, flashy.

    Leaving aside the comparisons with other games, WD2 is innovative, it has a lot to offer, a realistic world where nothing is private, improvable but charismatic characters (wrench) The best game in the saga, it has many details, entertaining gameplay and varied missions, an IP that can give much more and Ubisoft must know how to take care of it

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is perfect in every way The only problem i have with it is marcus will b pushed and not thrown when hit by a car
    There is another problem in games physics which no studio can make good physics in Their game Unless the game is based off physics
    The Combat ui is cursed a little because you can lose your pursures when you enter a small closerd area b when the cops see you go there they are just nah we ain't checking there
    Its like that in every game almost
    But overall the game is great
    I suggest y'all trying it
    The ai is exteremly good and developed and the graphics and story and the characters are also great
    The sad part is this games is dead now in 2023 i hope it comes back
    Or maybe gta 6 might be as developed as this game    … Expand

    Good game. Best in the trilogy. I don't have anything else to say. I wish there wasn't a 75 character minimum.

    Algo que hizo muy bien esta secuela fue ir de cara y no hacer promesas estúpidas que luego no se cumplirían. Mejora en todo al original aunque la historia no sea nada del otro mundo. Muy entretenido como alternativa a GTA.

    Watch Dogs 2 is the best game compared to Watch Dogs 1 and Watch Dog Legion, which is a vast city especially with better steals.

    Ottimo gioco con una trama simpatica ma profonda che esplora temi profondi, i personaggi sono memorabili e tutto ciò unito ad un ottimo game play e mai noioso mi ha portato a dare un 8, e a completarlo al 100% MA il gioco non è esente da difetti infatti l’IA dei nemici non è così brillante e i bug sono molti anche se parecchi non sono invalidanti nella partita.

    A slight upgrade from the first one. It is very fun,it's not boring at all, gameplay feels good, and i think that from this game, Ubisoft went downfall...

    I absolutely loved this game, The experience is still great even the main missions are finished unlike other games where it gets boring after finishing the Main missions. The story is good, The game soundtrack is good, The graphics surprisingly still holds up to this day, The exploration is great yet the combat mechanics were a little bit downgraded from the first game.

    Great game. Loved every moment i spend in it.
    While some people don't like ded sec members in this game i would say i really liked those characters.
    Just a amazing but not perfect game in general.

    One of my most favorite games of all time. I liked the cheesy dialogue. I liked the cheesy cutscenes and storyline. I loved the open world. I loved hacking things and coming up with different ways to do a mission. Unlike TLOU2 that makes you do each mission and each room they way they want.

    Nach viel Kritik am ersten Teil des neuen Franchises, will Ubisoft mit dem Sequel nun alles besser machen, und in vieler Hinsicht gelingt dies auch. So ist San Francisco als neue Location deutlich lebendiger und bunter als das triste Chicago des Erstlingswerks.

So ist San Francisco als neue Location deutlich lebendiger und bunter als das triste Chicago des Erstlingswerks.

    Zudem fokussiert die Story stärker auch die Möglichkeiten, die das Hacking Setting in gesellschaftskritischer Perspektive hergibt. Auch viele Spielmechaniken wurden verändert und die typische Ubisoft Formel so weitgehend abgeschüttelt. So verzichtet Watchdogs 2 beispielsweise auf das Freischalten von Funktürmen. Auch viele Nebenaufgaben gestalten sich nun deutlich weniger repetitiv und wurden organischer in das generelle Setting eingebunden.

    Viel kritisiert wurde am ersten Teil auch die laue Geschichte um den depressiven Racheengel Aiden. Insbesondere hier wollte man nun alles anders machen, schafft es nun aber gekonnt krachend auf der anderen Seite vom Pferd zu fallen. Denn die Hipster Hacker Gruppe um Marcus ist so übertrieben und stereotyp dargestellt, dass es stellenweise wirklich schon peinlich wird. Um Watchdogs 2, angelehnt an ein GTA 5, vorwiegend als Satire zu spielen, dafür nimmt sich der Titel am Ende dann leider zu ernst.

    Leider wurde auch das Gameplay eher etwas "verschlimmbessert". Vielleicht hat Ubisoft die Kritik am ersten Teil doch etwas zu ernst genommen und deshalb letztlich zu viele Spielmechaniken nochmal in die Hand genommen, eben auch solche, die eigentlich bereits sehr rund und motivierend funktionierten. So wirkt Watchdogs 2 im Vergleich zum ersten Teil durchaus etwas überfrachtet und vom Pacing nicht gut ausbalanciert. Die neuen Gimmicks, wie etwa die Drohnen, mit denen sich nun nochmals mehr Möglichkeiten eröffnen in Missionen auch völlig unentdeckt ans Ziel zu kommen, sind schon eine coole Idee, sie machen aber die Kamerahacks, die das Gameplay des ersten Teils noch so innovativ gemacht hatten, eigentlich völlig überflüssig. Durch die vielen verschiedene Möglichkeiten, die Watchdogs 2 uns bietet, spielt es sich sehr abwechslungsreich, aber auch deutlich weniger übersichtlich und wirkt irgendwie überfrachtet, was ein gezieltes, taktisches Vorgehen, also ein Abwägen der effektivsten Vorgehensweise, oftmals konterkariert.

    Auch die Fahrphysik der Autos wurde komplett überarbeitet und wird nun deutlich effektvoller umgesetzt, nur in Folge dessen eben leider auch unberechenbarer. So sind, bei all der Action, vor allem die Hacking Tricks um Polizeiwagen abzuhängen oder Helikopter auszuschalten nun kaum mehr gezielt einsetzbar und das Ganze artet meist im reinen Chaos aus. Ob ein Entkommen mit dem Auto gelingt oder nicht, entscheidet so oft mehr der Zufall als das fahrerische sowie hackerische Geschick. Da kann manchmal schon regelrecht Frust aufkommen. Defacto flieht man in Watchdogs 2 meist effektiver zu Fuß, was meines Erachtens aber weniger zum Spielgefühl passt.

    Alles in allem macht auch Watch Dogs 2 dennoch eine Menge Spaß. Nicht zuletzt aufgrund der tollen Inszenierung und der wirklich fantastischen Open World, die einem GTA 5 kaum nachsteht und das Chicago des Erstlingswerks der Entwickler sicherlich bei weitem überflügelt. Hoffen wir, dass sich Ubisoft für einen dritten Teil mehr Zeit nimmt, um das Gameplay weiter zu perfektionieren und vielleicht auch wieder ein wenig zu entfrachten.    … Expand

    This game has a special spot in my heart for sure! It's sunny, exciting, colourful, musical, and downright damn fun. It's set in San Fransisco and boy does the world feel alive and like everyone around you is really living. It's drowning in so much humdrum that everywhere is a joy to explore and have fun in.

    Best of all are the characters. Dedsec is just a joy. They're all so different and work incredibly well together. Their gang feels like it really means something to them all, and you really root for them and want them to succeed. Marcus is a fantastic protagonist; he's funny and you really feel a connection to him. Even more so, Wrench is just a ball of sunshine as a character. He's weird, explosive, crude, and just an absolute blast. Despite knowing so little about him in this game, he's my absolute favourite, and makes me laugh with his antics and his unpredictable fun-loving way of life.    … Expand

The story and characters are also improved from the first game. Overall fun game and I'm definitely going for the platinum. I'm curious to play Legion because the reviews seem mixed … 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]
