Featured reviews
I have played this and this game makes an amazing story ark. It good craters and villains what we need in the gameplay. Hats off to this 2014 Watch Dogs...
I really enjoyed Watch Dogs and the story, in my opinion, was pretty good. The gameplay and the universe of it make this game pretty unique and have his own identity. The gameplay it s pretty good and integrate very well the hacker's world and the story was pretty good: it have some mysterious moments, a kind of conspiracy, an emotional purpose and i wanted to know the endmof the story. It was quite surprising because generally, the story its just a pretext to have a gameplay and to serve just the purpose of it. But the story can be very engaging too. So thi video game it was a very good surprise. I recommend it.
Everything about this game is so perfect. The graphics, story line, open world, and diversity of life in the bustling beautiful Chicago are a perfect score for me, but unfortunately.. There are a few large flaws.
Lets start by addressing the people. Diversity? Yes. Realistic..? Not really. If you were to pull into a random parking lot at a restaurant filled with other cars, then pull back out at average speed and casually pause at the entrance to make you're leave.. the people would scream and shout dumb things you're way as if you'd shot towards them like a speeding bullet.
But the worst, most colossal problem?? The police. Real police don't try to kill you over a simple fender bender, especially if it was a hit-and-run.. you not being the fleeing suspect or the cause of the crash. The cop that saw the minor accident literally called for backup, and before I knew it helicopters were swarming the skies. No, 'put you're hands in the air' at least??!
Even though this particular flaw is huge, the game was still one of the best I have ever played. And so far, it continues to impress and entertain long after the main missions are through.

Decent enough story largely great gameplay think the handling when driving at speed could be a little more manageable but other than that had a great time playing it.
Sure this game was over-hyped and it's far from perfect, but it is undeniably fun. The hacking is something new and interesting. Chicago is a great setting and the soundtrack kicks ass! I have no idea why nobody likes Aiden, I found him quite intriguing, the whole renegade without fear vibe is always fascinating. The stealth sections were decent and the hacking puzzles were adequately challenging, including for the collectibles. The only downside are the high speed car chases that were infuriating and are exactly the reason I stay clear of GTA games. The game didn't need such frustrations to weigh it down. All in all a great game with some minor flaws, but hardly anything that should keep you from trying it out.
