    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.

    Un juego muy entretenido, la verdad es genial andar haciendo misiones y diabluras controlando las cosas electrónicas.

    Игра мне очень понравилась. Но хочу заметить, что сюжет и концовка достаточно слабовата. Я ожидал более фееричного конца, а в остальном очень достойная игра!

    I love this game
    While the story in Watch Dogs 1 is better the second improves every other aspect.
    Better hacking, better Open World and more fun to be had.

    I played this game on day release when it first came out, although some reason I didn’t beat it and put it down. I recently went back to it for this first time in like 3 years and wow this game got better with age I don’t know why but it felt so fun and the world felt alive! I don’t know why younger me put it down but damn I’m glad I picked it back up.

    Good - Graphics, sound, map size
    Bad - Boring Story, lame charters, hacking, bad weapon design.

    Much better than his predecesor. Lot of new mechanics but driving still awful. However, i like the direction this franchise is taking. Good game after all.

    This game is garbage, the cops AI is so poorly programmed is a joke, they are absolutely omniscient and know EXACTLY where you are even if you were hidden, the ranges of your guns are seemingly random if it will hit or not, sometimes the red crosshairs are shown for a hit, but sometimes even with the white one it will hit, this game is a **** joke, the person who programmed those systemsThis game is garbage, the cops AI is so poorly programmed is a joke, they are absolutely omniscient and know EXACTLY where you are even if you were hidden, the ranges of your guns are seemingly random if it will hit or not, sometimes the red crosshairs are shown for a hit, but sometimes even with the white one it will hit, this game is a **** joke, the person who programmed those systems should be **** ashamed to put this garbage out.

    This is a unique open world game featuring digital hacking and personal privacy issues. It is GTA-like but also shows distinguishable features.

    This may be my second favourite game. It’s so fun. My favourite thing to do in this game is hacking cars, I don’t know why it’s so fun probably because i’m a maniac and i like exploding things. The story isn’t great i don’t remember a lot of things about the story, but everything else is is great.

    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.

    My first impression was "Oh noooo! A Will.i.am simulator" - I hated the opening of the game after coming fresh from WD1. Once I got settled and changed my outfit (why can't I create my own character? It wouldn't affect anything at all + would also let my daughter play as a girl) it became my GTA San Andreas for this generation.

    Just overall disappointing. Really enjoyed the first game, but here the characters are just really boring.

    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.

    this is also an amazing game, the first one is way better than the second one but they both brilliant, definitely worth buying. story is great, love main character, parkour is amazing and fun, gameplay is sick and I feel connected to the city. this game is that kind of game that you want to buy first when you get a PS4 or XBOX. top quality game

    Basically everything wd1 wasn’t .

    You can hack transportation, construction equipment. Mechanics are great. Graphics are decent and story.

    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.

    Almost everything in this game is great, for real. Nice game Ubisoft, if you didn't had failed in the first game, this game would got the appreciation that he deserved.

    I think I wanted to move to San Francisco after tens of hours I have spent with Marcus discovering this beautiful, well done open-world game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think it's not that bad a story
    Admittedly Marcus may be to lighthearted if you kill loads of people. The characters may not be that fleshed out but they still seem funny and human

    Классная игра. Я хоть и не любитель стелса, но здесь он просто шикарен. Как по мне лучший стелс.

    The story isn´t the best but the gameplay is f*cking awesome. There are a lot of things to do and the way to do it are amazing.
    It was one of the games that I had the most fun playing

    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]
