    Really didn't expect the game to be this good. One of the best open worlds in a long time, the AI characters actually have personality which makes the world seem more alive and not just an environment to travel from point A to B. You'll still do a lot of that, but it's done in a way to keep it interesting. I thought Watchdogs 1 was only OK and wasn't planning on buying this one.

    WD2 just have the most realistic virtual open city in all videogames history. Anyone that love games like GTA will be surprised by the level of details that Ubisoft put in this game. I never saw a such beautiful and worderfull location like this. Sometimes you can't know if you are watching a movie or playing a game, it is so real.

    Omg! Watch Dogs 2 is a really amazing game. The environment is wonderful. Game mechanics and characters powerful. Graphics is very good. Ubisoft did a great job.

    Wonderful game, massive improvement over the first instalment. So much to see & do. Best thing I have played in years & ace on PC also (very well optimised). Playing on PS4 Pro & PC, loving it. Such a vibrant world & very inspired. Looking forward to many more weeks in this world! Well worth buying!

    Amazing SF setting, original & consistent art direction, improved gameplay including refined hacking: a good surprise from Ubisoft, not used to "irreverence".

    WOW. I was surprised that WD2 is that good. First part of this serie was disappointment, but this was very intense with a good single player and plot. All characters are very specific and interesting. Very good game.

The graphics are amazing, gameplay is fun, side missions are for the first time in a long time actually fun and meaningful. Main story is also really good with a lot of great writing and daring ideas I love it. This is a great game to just immerse yourself in or just mess around. It's truly a sandbox. And is not to be missed by any open world game enthusiast! I might seem a little fanboyed but I just haven't enjoyed a game this much in a long while.    … Expand

    Just like anybody, I have to praise the open world. It's lively, immersing and exciting. A true definition of a good open world. Side missions aren't set objectives but random events that happen regularly in the open world. All of the characters are very well done, with hilarious characteristics and incredible voice acting. The "coincidental" real world references are everywhere. One ofJust like anybody, I have to praise the open world. It's lively, immersing and exciting. A true definition of a good open world.

    the part i enjoyed the most while playing the game was the escape from Alcatraz (from the 911 side mission)
    the prison even had the air vent through which Morris escaped from the Rock IRL, you can enter through the roof, from the water - through a big pipe and i laughed myself silly when i managed to trap the cops inside the cells by hacking the doors:)

    Watch Dogs 2 is as much a stealth game as it is an action game.

    The person who give less then 9 its mean he didn't understand the game!!!

    i give 10/10

    Es un muy buen videojuego, me atrapo desde el principio y algo bastante bueno es que dejaron atrás lo tedioso del primero y a esta entrega le agregaron la diversión que le faltaba.

    This game is simply amazing. Definitely way better than the first one. It's such a big improvement and there's so much more stuff to hack into. The parkour, the story and the graphics are really good, I would definitely recommend purchasing this game, trust me it is amazing.

    Ubisoft listened to the fans and added in dogs within the environment. When I booted up this game I actually could do what the game is intended to do.

    An awesome game if you have little or much time to spend. I find myself arguing with NPC's, starting fights so the police can arrest them, or even calling directly cops on people, making innocent people run over other people so the police arrest them as well lol.
    It's a very dense world, driving is legit good, money is a little hard to get, skill tree and sense of progress in general are    An awesome game if you have little or much time to spend.

    You can play it as a full sandbox, the world is very responsive, playing coop is very nice as well, even with unknown people.
    At the moment I write there's no PVP, invasion or bounty hunt, and I can say that even then it's a very robust game.    … Expand

    Never played the first Watch Dogs, but i am very happy i got to play this.
    First off, the game looks freaking beautiful, the stealth and combat system is smooth AF.
    The Parkour/Freerunning is fast and looks good.

    I haven't played much of the main story as i am just exploring at the moment, but so far the story is great. Overall a great game, that i look forward to spend lots of time with.

    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]
