Watch Dogs 2

Pros:

• Graphics
• Relatively fun side material
• Exciting stealth elements
• Mechanics
• Drones/robots
• Large clothing selection
  • (Didn’t care for most of the options, but I found some I liked)
• Beautiful map and environment

• Serviceable gunplay

Cons:

• There are a few pretty cringey and obnoxious characters
  • I found the main Dedsec crew to be really unlikable as a group
    • *Marcus was mostly fine as a protagonist, with a few annoying moments
    • Other than Wrench, all the characters did have some redeeming qualities
  • I think they were going for “quirky”, but it was really forced and shallow
• Not that privacy is an unjust cause, but I was really not a fan of the whole anarchist/activist vibe
• After the dark, personal narrative in the first game, I was pretty disappointed by the largely disconnected, over-extended plot

Nitpickey:

• The back-flips off buildings is dumb
• Would have been cool to change hair/beard and get tattoos

Rating:

• Story **** 4/10
• Gameplay ******** 8/10
• Atmosphere ****** 6/10
• Overall ****** 6/10
