“This game is underrated! I played this some 10 years ago on PS3 and I forgot how good this actually is. In my opinion still the best game in the series. Best story with very dark and gritty atmosphere. Main character…”

“Multiplayer has cheaters, but the story and gameplay is good. This is what the democrats/liberals/leftists/socialists/communists want for, a dystopian nation where you are spied on, vulnerable, and powerless. Not…”

“One of the greatest open world games ever made. The overarching story is a bit weak but the amazing characters are well acted and well portrayed and keep you grounded in the story. If the sequels had kept the gritty,…”
“Sometimes i just can't believe that there are some good games like Watch Dogs that was created in 2014. I love the story, i like the atmosphere, combats... The game is also very nice when it comes to details. For…”

“I recently played this game again for the first time since 2014 and it's honestly still holds up, the Blackout skill is still one of the most incredible things I've seen in a video game. It's definitely a game made at…”

“В игре много минусов, такие как корявое вождение, плохая стрельба и достаточно большое кол-во багов даже спустя 12 лет (такие как вылеты игры и после задания для продолжения нужно откатываться на последний сейв). Но все…”
“Juegazo! Recomendadísimo! Tiene bugs como todo juego de BuggySoft. Los autos no son tan geniales como en GTA. Pero tiene lo suyo. El 2 y el 3 son re progres. Este safa bastante.”
“Of all the UbiSlop games, this is one of the sloppiest. Seemingly Ubisoft's answer to GTA, and it fails on all marks. The story says nothing meaningful about living under a surveillance state. The gunplay is mid at…”

“Game is still pretty good! A shame it didn't get much love when it came out. I suppose its competition was fierce: GTA 5. Great game. If you have ultrawide monitor: Download Flawless Widescreen for the FOV and…”
“This game had a bad rep in 2014, but slowly with updates and time it is definitely a classic game + the T-Bone DLC was good touch from devs. Time to replay WD2 9/10 ( -1 point for the atroucious aim-assist, u cant turn…”

“man I miss when Ubisoft actually made great games that aren't in the 50+ hour range of bloated and repetitive content, genuinely a blast to play this game, even though its really just a Ubisoft GTA game with hacking.…”
“One of the greatest of all time. I am a bit sad that achievements auto synced from Ubisoft and I couldn't regain them properly.”
