Watch Dogs 2 Reviews
Watch Dogs 2 is a title that can secure space within the gaming market but is not able to emerge as it should, in some respects it is also difficult to give it an evaluation as we have a product from a solid foundation that supports all positive side of his predecessor, but from the high point we remain stuck in a mediocre game where the narrative can not spin the fly and leaves us a sense of void and incompleteness.

Watch Dogs 2 might be the best soundtrack and scenic open world game from Ubisoft in recent memory, but inconsistent theme and my failure to really resonate with the central themes prevented me from enjoying it.
I did miss the more serious, almost Blade Runner style vibe from the first game. Despite the fact that Aiden Pearce was an asshole, I always felt cool hacking and infiltrating facilities in that game. Here, that feeling is quite gone, and everything just feels more frivolous. Watch Dogs 2 is an enjoyable, yet flawed, ride. However, poor check-pointing, and putting in place limitations to keep the player underpowered for a long stretch of the game mar this experience.
Watch Dogs 2 is an excellent open world game with outstanding graphics. Recommended to anyone looking for a fun game.
Watch Dogs 2 is a much stronger open-world hacking sandbox experience than the first. While not to the same level as Assassin’s Creed 2 which accomplished much for its similarly divisive first entry, this game’s more varied mission structure and lighter-hearted tone elevates it to a must play this holiday.
Watch Dogs 2 is an immensely satisfying sequel that feels like both an evolution of what worked before, and a complete reversal of what didn't. It's a digital sandbox full of things to see and do set in a beautiful world, and it’s one of the best games I've played this year.
As an open world sandpit to explore and sink your time into, Watch Dogs 2 provides a lot of content and opportunities to have fun. How much fun you can have depends on your capacity for exploration. Things start to fall apart once you are forced to take part in the very structured main missions and the glaring mechanical issues come to the fore. A refurbishment and a lick of paint can work wonders – but if the foundations aren’t solid, then the results won’t be fantastic. Watch Dogs 2 is a massive improvement over its predecessor, but if a stealth game isn’t fun to play in a stealthy way, then you know something isn’t quite right.
Watch Dogs 2 is a great step up from the original Watch Dogs, and certainly seems to be driving the franchise in the right direction moving forward. It’ll be interesting to see where Ubisoft decides to take the series next. One thing for sure, I hope that there is another sizeable gap between this one and the eventual Watch Dogs 3, if there does happen to be another one. Going away for a couple years gives fans of the games time to appreciate them more, especially with Watch Dogs 2 since it is such a great game with a lot of content to hold fans over for now.
Watch Dogs 2 is very different, in a good way, compared to Watch Dogs. Brand new game mechanics, a well done story and a solid co-op mode. Ubisoft have added what was missing in the first game and improved what was bad as well.
Watch_Dogs 2 is what happens when a developer takes feedback, criticism, and all the great parts of its first try, then flips it and turns it into something just short of a masterpiece.
Ubisoft’s particular style of open world game, which is a genre of its own nowadays, has never been as well done as it is in Watch Dogs 2, and it’s clear that, as the company continues to iterate on the formula it started off with in the original Assassin’s Creed, it’s getting very good at making them.
Watch_Dogs 2 improves on the first game in almost all areas, adds a ton of new content and delivers a satisfying open-world action adventure.
Watch Dogs 2 is a well-made game that tries hard to (over)compensate for the dour mood of its predecessor with a peppy script and a vibrant game world stuffed full of life and colour. But the game's ever-changing tone, confused narrative, and undercooked gameplay elements still leave room for improvement. It's a solid open world game, but rarely spectacular. <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kw1dK-st_O4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Overall, WATCH_DOGS 2 is the most fun I have had with an open-world game this year. From a cast of characters almost anyone can empathize with, to a fun, diverse array of missions and side quests, there’s so much to love. Ubisoft has essentially done the exact same thing they did with Assassin’s Creed—taking an innovative, yet flawed, new IP and improving nearly every aspect of it with player feedback. Fans of the original should definitely pick it up, and series newcomers will find a lot to love.
Watch Dogs 2 is more enjoyable, well designed and vastly improved.
Watch Dogs 2 adds a lot to a series that had a poor start. San Fransisco is an incredibly beautiful and fleshed out location for a game that has a much brighter tone that the original. Yet a lot of the good is weighed down by issues returning from past Ubisoft titles (even though those issues had been completely eradicated in the past). While the game feel fun, it is hard to shake the feeling that Ubisoft has taken a step backward thanks to these issues.
The lovely campaign, great character development, improved driving, the beautiful virtual San Francisco, and the interesting gameplay mechanics made Watch Dogs 2 one hell of an open-world experience. The story may not standout but it’s a far better plot than the first Watch Dogs. Watch Dogs 2 is inventive and amazing! A sequel worth playing.
Watch_Dogs 2 heads in a lot of directions, and fails at every turn. Sloppy, contradictory writing and a severe lack of focus and polish make Ubisoft's latest title an internal fatal error.
There are gameplay concerns but the setting helps to make up for it as Watch Dogs 2’s version of San Francisco is faithful, colourful and a joy to explore. It’s not in the top calibre of games this year, but it has interesting characters, unique elements, and more than enough missions to keep you busy for a while.
Watch Dogs 2 takes everything good about the first game, throws out what was bad, and adds some more good stuff to it.
