    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. Your game should not focus on the small details of trying to do some nonsensical hacking nonsense, it is basically all the left over annoying missions from assassins creed's modern day plot rolled into one gamethis game is bad.

Your game should not focus on the small details of trying to do some nonsensical hacking nonsense, it is basically all the left over annoying missions from assassins creed's modern day plot rolled into one game that somehow has an ever worse sequel, Rubbish ubisoft junk video 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. This game also lacks objects to hide behind. And it's not optional,One thing ruins the game completely. It's the police. If you like the GTA police chasing, this game is not like that.

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?

    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]
