Yeah, this game's not for me. I appreciate the lighter tone when compared to the first game, but Watch Dogs 2 didn't convince me enough to keep playing.

Aside from a couple of missions, most of them didn't stand out. I'm tired of how Ubisoft handles their open-world games. They add so many things to do, but none of those activities felt fun or rewarding. I can't recall how many missions I had to do that was just hacking into buildings and stealing information. I know hacking's the point of this game, but my god did it get old quick.

That's not to say everything was bland. I liked driving around the streets of San Francisco and seeing the city come to life. Dare I say it's one of the best open-worlds I've seen as of recently. I also liked taking down guards with non-lethal weapons. It adds a lot of variety to combat and gives you more to do with your arsenal.

But at the end of the day, I just couldn't get into it. If you don't mind the mission design or if you're just curious about it, then I would suggest picking this game up. Who knows, you might find some value in it, and with its frequent discounts, you're getting a good deal.

7/10
