The game developer has apparently made sure that “Watch Dogs 2” will be a clear jump from the original game by siphoning off the dull protagonist, the rather gray city, and the questionable moral compass that made it quite a dreary experience.
The distinctive hacking and puzzle mechanics of “Watch Dogs 2” do a great job of reminding gamers that they are not playing just another “GTA” clone as they tear through its beautiful Bay Area map.
In fact, another reviewer says that the game feels like making a statement. While “Watch Dogs 2” is not as faultless as Rudyard Kipling’s vision of Northern California, a gamer would still want to spend tens of hours wandering in the game’s virtual recreation of the famous city and into the Bay Area beyond.
The game’s flexible mission also allows gamers to get through mostly non-violently if they are good enough at stealth. The game’s multiplayer mode is good unconventional cat-and-mouse fun too.
Some are also saying that “Watch Dogs 2” is like the TV series “Person of Interest” minus the humor but it has a vividly San Francisco backdrop and a hero that actually likes to joke throughout the plot.
The game is about hacking which is why the setting is in San Francisco because it is the location of Silicon Valley, which means that gamers’ playground is right there as hackers.
