“Watch Dogs 2” now features more entertaining and light-hearted characters, a splash of color, and a sense of being in a technology-ridden playground, all controllable from one’s mobile device.
As basically a game for hackers, once gamers get to realize the importance of hacking devices available at their disposal, “Watch Dogs 2” appears to be a major improvement over its predecessor. It becomes a more enjoyable experience when gamers feel like they have the right ‘toys’ at their disposal.
One other thing that is expected to be appreciated by gamers about “Watch Dogs 2” is its fun, albeit comedic, approach to gaming.
While it carries the attitude of the first game at heart, it is done without the dull and gray coating of its predecessor.
The game also offers gamers more tools. Apart from being able to distract people with prank calls, they can actually call the cops for a more elaborating distraction. Or they can also call a gang hit on the hackers if they wanted to be sinister about it.
The game’s protagonist is also a true millennium. He can insult, pacify, flirt, and even dance with anybody on the streets and can also react positively or negatively.
But the combat in “Watch Dogs 2” lacks the finesse that other Ubisoft shooter video games have, including the recently released “Tom Clancy’s The Division.”
