Watch Dogs 2

If you are one of those let down by the original Watch Dogs, the sequel is everything the first game should have been. Watch Dogs 2, is therefore highly recommended by virtue of its fantastic gameplay and an invigorating...

A great PC port and lovely open world don't give depth to Watch Dogs 2's shallow combat and stealth...

Out West I'm just going to lay it out flat. I'm not a fan of San Francisco, in fact I’m not a big fan of the California area. It's too hot, too expensive, and too crowded. When I heard Watch Dogs 2 was going from the Midwestern setting of Chicago that I...

Being hacked sucks. I would know – a few years ago, I opened my email to find someone had made all these PlayStation purchases on my account for some FIFA DLCs even though the last time I touched a football game was when I was a kid. Anyway, so I find I...

Ubisoft has an interesting reputation when it comes to new IPs. They tend to release a AAA title that gets a lot of hype, and often times, the game doesn't live up to the hype. Despite not meeting the expectations of tons of fans, the potential for...

Where the first game was bland and forgettable, Watch Dogs 2 is full of memorable moments. This is a game where you can blackmail a pharmaceutical monster, blow up tampered voting machines to Creedence Clearwater Revival's “Fortunate Son,” compete in...

Ubisoft sure has learned a thing or 17 from it's past failures, and Watch Dogs 2 is a culmination of all that learning, without rectifying all of the mistakes. Right off the bat, the game sets the tone for a vibrant, pop culture, social media and...

As a proof of concept for a cyber-drama take on Assassin's Creed, complete with all-encompassing hacking abilities, the original Watch Dogs really worked. Where it faltered was ... almost everywhere else. The chief complaint being that its protagonist,...

Even when playing solo, Watch Dogs 2 remains a fun, energetic game filled with possibilities. It's easy see-through enemy AI during missions that are supposed to be challenging, which holds back the game at large, but it's a chance to let loose, logic be damned. Watch Dogs 2's world is a step up from the first game's dreary rendition of Chicago, and even though Watch Dogs 2 can't go toe-to-toe with genre heavyweights, it's hard to walk away from its fun-loving attitude and exuberant cast.

Watch Dogs 2's distinctive hacking and puzzle mechanics do a great job of reminding you that you're not playing just another Grand Theft Auto clone as you tear through it's beautiful Bay Area map. Marcus is a bit too friendly of a guy to be believable...

Watch_Dogs 2 is a textbook example of a great sequel. It takes what was so much fun from the first game, expands it and cuts away most of what the players didn't...

Watch Dogs 2’s distinctive hacking and puzzle mechanics do a great job of reminding you that you’re not playing just another Grand Theft Auto clone as you tear through it’s beautiful Bay Area map. Marcus is a bit too friendly of a guy to be believable as our instrument of mayhem, but the flexible missions let you get through mostly non-violently if you’re good enough at stealth. And when it works, multiplayer is good unconventional cat-and-mouse fun, too.
