Creative hacking and covert multiplayer modes bring exciting new life to otherwise familiar open-world man-shooting.

Watch Dogs is an excellent open-world action game with some unique hacking-magic that makes it a memorable experience.

Rob Keyes

Watch Dogs is an origin story of sorts for a vigilante killer. Aiden Pearce is to Chicago what Batman is to Gotham, or more a more apt comparison would be to describe Pearce as more of a high-tech Punisher. The story is adequate to pull players through to the end and you can play much of the game approaching situations in your own, non-violent way, but the campaign forces extreme gunplay more than we wanted.

All in all, definitely one of the most unique and creative games of this genre I've played. Great voice acting, excellent cut scenes, damn decent dialogue, and lots of replayability.
