It's a compelling story that really draws you into the game and makes you want more, not only that, if you don't feel like taking on the campaign at the moment there is so much more to be done. Multiplayer is an amazing trip in itself as well and how seamlessly you can go from single player to Multiplayer is amazing. I believe a lot of people want to compare this to Grand Theft Auto which is ridiculous, yes, they are similar in nature but when it comes down to it they are entirely different. This game is a must play, has great weapons, missions and the hacking system is pretty darn fun especially when used to disarm police or enemy pursuers. Well worth the money to buy this game!… Expand

    Great game, not good as GTA but is so amazing. In the modern uber-connected world, Chicago maintains the nation's most advanced and integrated computer system – one which controls almost every facet of city technology and maintains critical information on all of the city's residents.

It is a delight to run around and stop crimes, screw with people, mess with police, hack into other people's worlds and watch laughing as they stand only feet away from you, yet cannot find you hiding in that old car.

The only downside is that in mid-firefight the controls can get a little crazy, but other than that, this is an amazing game.… Expand

    This games is sooo underrated. Amazing details and graphics. A whole bunch of stuff to do. Its $40 right now and well worth it. Great job ubisoft. The haters are just mad because they had nothing else to play on next gen and were forced to get it.

    This game is far not so bad as you can read about it. I play on PS4 and most of haters, as I see, came from PC. They blame it for: a) bugs; b) not E3 graphics; с) not GTA V; d) high price. I leave PC gamers with their pain. As PS4 gamer I can assert that there is no bugs, graphics is nice and price is standard.

Concerning the GTA V comparison I can say that the open world of Watch Dogs seems to me more alive since you can know everything about passers-by, listen their phone talks, and so on. I feel myself deeply involved in the life on screen and it is amazing feeling. The story is not obsessive, and you can play it at your own pace. Gameplay is rather various and you can choose more action or more puzzles. No doubt this game worth 8 points from professional critics. But I give it 10 to balance all that unfair hate.… Expand

    Excellent game. Don't believe the whiners, they just had unrealistic expectations.
    Certainly one of the best experiences you can get on the ps4 atm.

    I am aware of the issues with the PC version, but the PS4 version is working flawlessly for me.

    the things that make this game fun is the online hacking and tailing because you never know what your opponent is going to do the opponent can be funny its just unpredictable every time you invade an opponent the match is always different

    If today in 2020, look at what Watch dogs has become, then the first part is simply a masterpiece. Her Noir is very much needed today. Instead, we have a masquerade party and hipsters. I want more realism, something closer to mr Robot. I really like the atmosphere of this game and its music. I hope that one day you will make a good watch dogs game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game in my opinion is PERFECT! Of course others may not find it perfect but find it fun and some people hate the game. The amount of effort put in this game is phenomenal. Vehicles feel more realistic while driving. If you're seen as a terrorist in your reputation, people call the cops when they recognize you or when you shoot a gun in public. And the story? Amazing! Although I didn't get emotional during the mission where your family has to go somewhere safe, but I just didn't want to see them go. Character development is also really good. When Clara died, you wanted to kill the hit men badly, jut wanted immediate revenge. Overall, this game is a big slap in the face, but still a good game.… Expand

    Watch Dogs is a fun open world experience. However, the repetitive chases and the formulaic gameplay tend to get tedious and boring after a while. As such, you might want to enjoy the different multiplayer experiences and take frequent breaks to just roam around the city.

    It’s a bold first step on the new terrain for Ubisoft. The game is enjoyable, offers some interesting mechanics and lasts for long enough, but is bland as a whole. The characters lack personalities, the city could use more distinctness and the story is instantly forgettable. [07/2014, p.46]

    Overall, it is almost without a doubt the best platformer that has popped up on the current generation of consoles and is a bedrock on which Ubisoft could build a brand to remember.
