Watch Dogs

It was a thrilling game One of the most ambitious games to be released in the 2010s The setting being in Chicago feels alive with those flickering streetlights The revenge-thriller structure and it has guilt, morality, control. Playing as this broken guilt ridden character obsessed with control in a world run by data. A man broken by the death of his neice. Ngl it’s underrated and a definite play.

very creative game in Ubisoft's library it strives in the fact there's very few competitors in this niche hacking genre its biggest struggle is its formulaic and repetitive story and game play every thing feel like its cycle and repeat would recommend to check it out if its ever on sale for cheap

Un juego con una historia buena y gameplay muy fluido, pero el mundo abierto deja mucho que desear, la exploracion no resulta ser muy atratactiva ni tampoco dan ganas de hacerla, las misiones secundarias son repetitivas, un punto que si destaco es que el hackear el entorno si se siente bien y es buena esa mecanica, pero hasta ahi es lo rescatable de su mundo abierto

How people thought this game was as good as I’ve been told I’m unsure, characters are flat, missions are repetitive and the driving mechanics are just awful, it’s just enter another restricted area, do a bit of hacking, get involved in a high speed chase. Feels like a game that wanted to capitalise off being a cheap GTA clone so added a hacking mechanic with a worse than poor storyline to justify it.

Pros - the various hacking skills feel cool to use - bunch of cool ideas that unfortunately go unrealized Cons - the driving is awful - Aiden is monotone and boring throughout most of the story - the story itself is generic Not much to say about the original Watch Dogs. It is just the most bog standard Ubisoft video game you will play. Open world, meh story and a bunch of side activities. On the topic of those. So many side activities require you to drive. And my god is this driving one of the most broken things ever created. I personally believed that it was created by a group of chimps that thought cars stick to the ground like they weigh thousand tonnes and move like ice skates. I can't overstate how bad it feels to drive in this game. And you are going to be doing a lot of driving. Other than that the game is a standard cover shooter that is beyond braindead easy though looks good at times. And that is the thing with this game that pisses me off the most. This game has all the potential and no execution. Everything is half assed or down right boring. The story is a cliche revenge plot. The protagonist is a brooding monotone dude who has one or two good moments. The villains… Eh, who cares? Not memorable to survive in your head two days after you roll the credits. All in all, Watch Dogs is a bunch of good ideas and promises that go unfulfilled. Shame, I'd rather play the game from the trailers.
