Watch Dogs was a pretty decent game. A bit overhyped, certainly, but the franchise held a lot of promise—much of which has been delivered upon in the newly released Watch Dogs 2.
Instead of offering just more of the same thing, Watch Dogs 2 provides the series with a much-needed injection of zest, offering a sense of character, story, and gameplay. Ubisoft set out to try and fix these issues with the first game, and they were incredibly successful in this regard.
Having played a small amount of Watch Dogs 2, I’m certainly enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. It’s seriously good!
To that end, Jake Baldino has also been playing the game, and he had quite a lot to say about it, with a few thoughts that echo some of my own impressions of Watch Dogs 2. Check it out above.
