    Excellent game! Love the open-world, side missions, and graphics. The co-op capabilities make the game even more enjoyable. My only wish would be more customized characters.

    This games improve a lot on the first one. It's got more freedom to hack, everything can be hacked provided you have the right apps and skills. Beautiful graphics and recreation of San Francisco. If you didn't like the first one I think you should give this one a chance and you will be impressed. Where the first was more of a personal story to the character this one is more about the player and what you choose to do with your hacking abilities.

    Great game and an amazing open world. The drone races are interesting, but hacking everything is oddly satisfying.

    Great game centered around hacking. It is like GTA but with hacking added. Very fun and maybe even better than the first one.

    Watch Dogs 2 takes everything great about Watch Dogs and improves all of it's flaws to make one really fun game! With great graphics and beautiful colors it's very easy to lose track of the time playing this game. This is most likely the greatest open world game of 2016 and I'd recommend it to everyone including those who were not fans of the first Watch Dogs.

    If you enjoyed the original watch dogs you will really enjoy watch dogs 2. The PS4 pro goes hand in hand with the graphics in this game, gameplay is not weighed down with dreaded cut scenes and the games missions are fun to play.

    I saw the ads for this game on TV and started to check reviews to make sure it wasn't another bluff (No Man's Sky brings any thoughts?) and all I found was great. And now I can understand: the game is beautifully made with very hi-res details. I was caught in a loop endlessly playing GTA V as I never found a good replacement for it. This game is pretty cool and it definitely lives up to the hype. Plus the online multiplayer options are seamless. No need to log a separate instance of the game, it's all very nicely blended. My only criticism is the driving mechanics in the game are a bit "choppy", but that's pretty quickly forgotten after you play for a while. All in all, a pretty cool and entertaining game.

    This is game is a lot more fun to play than the first game but I felt no motivation to do any story missions. Aiden pierce was a one note song, but we all knew that note, Marcus has almost no reason to do the things he does. But like I said, it's fun, it's bright, and it can keep you entertained for a while.

    Was a fan of the series since the first one. The story wasn't as great, but the diversity of the sequel is what brought me to this one. Love the game play. Very fun and entertaining. Thumbs up!

    I was a huge fan of the first Watch Dogs. This sequel is better. Ubisoft has fixed most of the largest complaints from the first game and the world is much larger. I love the realism of San Francisco in the game. The mechanics are mostly the same as before but with a few tweaks. Co-Op mode is nice that even if you are not a huge fan of multiplayer games, someone will show up near you and you can go on a couple missions with them or not. It is your choice. The feature can also be disabled in the main menu if you only want to play alone. This is an amazing game and I highly recommend you buy it!

    I have both watch dog games but for some reason I didn't finish the first watch dog game but WD 2 I did, I haven't played it since I beat it (the game you prv ) since there really isn't a reason to. I haven't played online since I don't really care for co op nor hacking nor being hacked it actually pi ses me off to be honest but luckily you can turn off online features maybe I'll give it a try when the dlc comes.

    A good distraction, but not a complete investment

    The characters and story will keep you playing, but unfortunately not for too long. The story design meant to support the open world often leaves it feeling fragmented and short. The main game can easily be completed in a few sittings and many of the side missions begin to feel redundant. Online co-op is limited to specific missions and there are only so many times that inciting a police chase works in place of actual gameplay. Online PVP is very similar to the original game, but lacks the racing component that brought a lot of variety. It is still interesting, but can easily become redundant as well. Overall, it is a great game if you are looking for a quick distraction, but not intended as the game to play start to finish.
