Watch Dogs 2 Reviews
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.
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.
This is Ubisoft doing what it does best.
Excellent game for all lovers of open world games looking for a more modern touch with Gadgets to hack. Join Decsec, The Technological Revolution continues.

Watch Dogs 2 finally breaks with the "Ubisoft Formula" to create an open-world game that feels somewhat fresh and interesting. What a relief.
Watch Dogs 2 is exactly what the first installment of this IP wanted to be. An enjoyable adventure in the shoes of a hacker. With its vast world and enhanced gameplay, it proves that there's still a chance for Watch Dogs in the industry.

While it lacks the flavour of side activities from its predecessor, Watch Dogs 2 makes up for it with na amazing cast and enjoyable story.

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.
A massive improvement over the first game in nearly every way, Watch Dogs 2 is an extremely successful entry into the open world genre that should not be missed by fans. Hopefully future entries into the series can knock it out of the park.
A fun combination of hacker fantasy and feel-good teen movie
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.

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 an excellent sequel that ditches the earnestness of its predecessor, pumps up the power fantasy, and turns players loose in a vibrant and engaging city. It's one of the best open world games to come around in a while.
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 definitely improves on its predecessor in almost every way.
They've injected more fun and diversity this time around, and they've done so with a city backdrop that is truly alive, and is utterly inviting.
While the sequel is a definite improvement over the original, the improvements are coming in baby steps, not leaps and bounds. A great first step would be to make a game that has a proper tone, because Watch Dogs 2 feels like it doesn’t know what it is.
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.
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>
