Critic Reviews
- Silly, strange things happen often, but only if you ignore the missions and mess around in the beautifully realized open world. That’s where Watch Dogs 2’s true enjoyment lies—not in its cheeky Hot Topic hacktivism story and frustrating, bland stealth scenarios, but in the nonsense you can pull off in a big sandbox with wacky toys and fast cars.
James Davenport · Dec 07, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - When I had finished Watch Dogs 2 I did it with a huge smile on my face. It’s always nice to see a series completely turn around from something decent that needs work to something genuinely impressive. If you’re looking for a game to scratch that open world itch, then you shouldn’t look much further as Watch Dogs 2 can easily scratch that itch. Plus, you get to actually pet dogs, so that’s a definite improvement.
Samuel Guglielmo · Dec 02, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Overall, Watch Dogs 2 improves on the original game in many ways, the driving controls are a lot looser and more responsive, the visuals are brighter and more colorful and most importantly the hacking mechanic has been utilized to allow a lot more freedom in how you want to play the game and generally adds more fun to the whole experience. There is also a solid musical upgrade thanks to a custom soundtrack composed by the excellent Hudson Mohawke.
Duncan Hawken · Nov 30, 2016 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Watch Dogs 2 adalah sebuah sekuel yang di satu sisi lebih baik dibandingkan Watch Dogs pertama, namun di sisi lain masih meneruskan kekurangan yang diderita iterasi sebelumnya, yakni dalam penyampaian cerita. Terlepas dari kekurangan ini, Watch Dogs 2 merupakan game open-world yang menarik untuk dimainkan, dan saya tak sabar untuk mencoba mode online berfungsi seperti yang dijanjikan Ubisoft.
Risky Maulana · Nov 26, 2016 Reviewed onRead full review - Watch_Dogs 2 is a textbook example of a great sequel. It takes what was so much fun from the first game, expands it and cuts away most of what the players didn't enjoy.
Rosh Kelly · Nov 24, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Watch Dogs 2 is definitely a better game than its predecessor in nearly every way. It doesn’t feel like a leap ahead many have come to expect from Ubisoft sequels going all the way back to Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Rainbow Six Vegas, Assassin’s Creed 2 and Far Cry 3, but instead it’s a very good game that taps some of its potential.
Sean Mesler · Nov 23, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Watch Dogs 2’s distinctive hacking and puzzle mechanics do a great job of reminding you that you’re not playing just another Grand Theft Auto clone as you tear through it’s beautiful Bay Area map. Marcus is a bit too friendly of a guy to be believable as our instrument of mayhem, but the flexible missions let you get through mostly non-violently if you’re good enough at stealth. And when it works, multiplayer is good unconventional cat-and-mouse fun, too.
Dan Stapleton · Nov 23, 2016 Reviewed on PS4, XB1Read full review - It's easy see-through enemy AI during missions that are supposed to be challenging, which holds back the game at large, but it's a chance to let loose, logic be damned. Watch Dogs 2's world is a step up from the first game's dreary rendition of Chicago, and even though Watch Dogs 2 can't go toe-to-toe with genre heavyweights, it's hard to walk away from its fun-loving attitude and exuberant cast.
Peter Brown · Nov 23, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Watch Dogs 2 is the proper way to do a sequel. The series is now back in my category of games I care about, which says a lot after how forgettable the first game truly was. I love the tone, the whimsical nature, and just exploring the gorgeous interpretation of San Francisco. Sure it has some bad story pacing, and plenty of useless open world mission types, but I still had a blast playing it.
Ken McKown · Nov 21, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Watch Dogs 2 is missing a bit of refinement, and has had issues with multiplayer, but joining DedSec is still a riot and a half. It's high energy fun with engaging characters, and you can make an entire city your playground.
