Watch Dogs 2

I would agree the story is not as powerful as the first games was but I would say this game is more fun than the first game. Gameplay amazing, story somewhat weak.

The 1st game had a slightly slugging first half but I ended up liking it a lot overall. The often ridiculed and deliberately unlikable Aiden Pearce and the near nihilistic story stood out to me. The game had an identity, plain and simple. I only need a bit more gameplay variety for a sequel and I certainly got that… but at what cost! The admittedly more involved hacking is now suddenly Pipe Mania and the overall game fully transformed into Ubi-Collect-a-Thon No.X. It work fine, most Ubi-games do, but what makes this one special? I am willing to praise the variety of ways missions can occasionally be solved and the involved multiplayer component is downright fascinating. What can't get my blessing are the story and characters. This is basically Lizard Squad "The Video-Game" and a Best Memes of 2015/16 collection. A rarely skip cutscenes but I ended up being physically incapable of watch this rubbish. The tone is quite broken too. The game is about these oh so "diverse" 20-something hackers and their PC Culture enforcement adventures but multiple trophies demand to kill, despite most enemies being simple security guards. The protagonist even carries a gun on the cover and his stealth attacks only kills too. Again, nothing makes sense and diversity ain 't a checkbox dear developers. I myself am half black and the well done San Francisco setting is appropriately chosen but I abide no pandering, which this 100% is. I ultimately finished the campaign, these Ubi-games tend to work well after all, but the devs need to go back to the drawing board. They made 2 steps forward and 4 steps back. 7,5/10

Greetings from Lithuania.

I loved "Watch Dogs" 2 (2016). That said, this game offered for me even more then i expected. And i did not expected very much knowing (but not playing) how disappointing 1st game was considering how hyped it was by Ubisoft by its fake trailers at E3 back in the day.

"Watch Dogs" 2 is a superb open world game, aka GTA 5 style but with a twist - instead of gun blazing every mission you must relay on your hacking skills - sure you can also go gun blazing here as well, but its more fun to use environment to create distractions, traps, or even a gang wars (and i used a lot of those) to achieve your objective. There are also a tons of fun activities in this world. You can play co-op - which is very fun, but there isn't that much of variety in co-op. Dialog were clever and also funny - this game is funny and its approach is very lighthearted.

Overall, "Watch Dogs 2" is a very fun game. It has great and involving open world with fun activities, good story and superb game play. Hacking itself was very creative and overall experience felt like a breath of fresh air. Highly fun and addictive game overall.

This one definitely has better gameplay and equally interesting missions compared to the first one however the story is quite weak in this one. In fact this one has no story at all.

The characters are very poorly written especially the character of Marcus. The jokes are lame and what made it even more annoying was that every few minutes someone was cracking a joke.

I really like this game, and I don't know why other people hate it so much. I really like the online aspects, and I think they are handled really well. The dialogue is a bit cringe sometimes, but over all the missions are fun, even if they are all very similar. I still love hacking everything, and pulling of awesome hacks still feel satisfying.The shooting could use some tweaking. But all a great game.
