Remember when ubisoft used to make great games? Well this one of them.

Not exactly a hidden gem, but definitely underrated. Mostly because of how the E3 trailers set expectations way too high. What we got wasn’t quite what was promised, but it’s still a solid game that deserves more credit than it gets.

The Good:
-The story is intriguing and keeps you curious all the way through.
-The atmosphere is excellent, nighttime rain in the city looks stunning, and the open world feels alive.
-There’s a lot to do: side missions, activities, etc
-Good variety of weapons and unlockables
-Tons of side content for those who enjoy. I really liked the chess puzzle one.
-Hacking is simpler than what the trailers teased, but honestly, it works well for the gameplay

The Bad:
- Driving feels off, vehicles don’t handle great, and traffic AI makes weird decisions like stopping in the middle of nowhere or refusing to stop when they should.
-The aim assist is awful. It's way too aggressive and aims to the chest of the enemies, and worst of all, you can’t turn it off.
-Ubisoft’s launcher...


If you enjoy open-world third-person shooters like Sleeping Dogs, GTA, or anything in that genre, you’ll probably have a good time with this one. It may not have lived up to the hype, but it’s still a well-made game with plenty to offer.

The one and only good Watch_Dogs game.

do not watch the E3 trailer
