The dialogue for most of these characters is to me quite unbearable but hidden under this dialogue is an interesting premise that fails to pay off with a satisfying conclusion or bigger story. Each of the characters in the game with the exception of the “villian” are goofy. Instead of being a vigilante out for revenge you are a member of the hacker group DedSec out to expose the big corporation Blume for their evil deeds with data collection. The tone of this game is very silly and goofy as opposed to the more bleak and serious nature of the first game. The tone of the story here is vastly different from the first game and I will be going into minor spoilers here for both Watch_Dogs and Watch_Dogs 2. Story Now here in my opinion is the weakest part of the game. The world has a lot of detail in it that appears to make it a real city. Having a little description of each NPC and the ability to listen in on some of their conversations makes it feel all the more real and like these people actually inhabit it. This is perhaps the best living city I’ve ever played, the city feels real and alive and makes sense. The World If there is one thing Ubisoft exceeds at it’s there worldbuilding. Of course you can still go in guns blazing if you want or even stealth around and hack but there being different options keeps the game fresh and can make each situation unique. They’ve also added two RC drones which allow for different styles of gameplay, both the drone and RC car are great additions and add interesting and unique ways to solve the “puzzle” of each mission. There is also way more to hack and control such as cars and other vehicles. For example you can hack into someones phone and have them assassinated by a gang or even start a faction war between two groups to distract them. In terms of the hacking there is way more you are able to do compared with the first game, while the basics from the first game are there you can now do way more and it feels like a main part of the game as opposed to a gimmick. While the game both looks and presents itself similarly to GTA it is vastly different because of the hacking. The gameplay in Watch_Dogs 2 is phenomenal. Gameplay Here is the meat of it and arguably the most important part of the game. I didn’t have any graphical glitches or errors in my time playing however. Graphics The game is quite beautiful but you can start to tell they are a bit outdated. Performance Not much to say here really, I had virtually no issues in terms of performance and stability, while playing I had a stable framerate and only ever had the game crash twice throughout the entire story. ![]() I have played both Watch_Dogs and Watch_Dogs 2 though I played Watch_Dogs when it first came out and on the Xbox One so it has definitely been a while and was on a different platform, with that let's get into it.
