![]() ![]() They're cynical but hopeful, they see the world being awful and they decide to help people directly not just themselves. The main cast being hacker archetypes that evolve into quirky little characters as the game goes on. The story is full on cheese but in an endearing way trading the exaggerated dystopia of the first game to one that is identical to our own. You can ghost through levels without ever being seen or taking down anyone almost every mission. The game design is very similar to immersive Sims, crafting mechanics that overlap with each other in ways that make you feel like a badass hacking hooligan. Besides that, the combat works like a puzzle in which you have all the tools to solve it and it feels fucking awesome to unleash hacks and cause havoc. If combat had any glaring flaw, it would be the lack of badass gunkata takedowns that where so much fun in the first game (it didn't include them because the tone was now more about being hackers and homebrewers than vigilantes). The gameplay is buttery smooth, a system of free running that felt like a natural response to assassin's creeds movement system. Watch dogs 2 is a joy of a game, in my opinion it is a masterpiece and one of if not the best of ubisofts entire gameography. Turns out 2 of these reviewers I watched for their love of video games actually really dug watch dogs 2, so I tried it again free of the expectations that it would be like 1 or legion. Then whitelight came out with a video on it as well and he didn't hate it either. While playing legion I saw a Noah Cadwell Gervais series retrospective and I expected to hear him eviscerate watch dogs 2 but he didn't. So I stopped playing and ignored it all together until after legion came out. I didn't like the warm color palete soaked in pastels and vibrant colors and I definitely didn't like the "cool" guy characters that felt like they were made to sound less cool and more like internet cringe comp stars. I didn't want to be impressed, I wanted to hate it and I was successful. I remember feeling betrayed as a fan of the first game that they were abandoning the gritty dystopian, almost cyberpunk esque mood of the first game to "chase gta5." I bought it and I played it for maybe 3 hours and wasn't impressed. I originally didn't give watch dogs 2 a chance.
