I liked the tone of this game compared to the original Watch_Dogs. It felt like it fit with the hacking gameplay and mechanics rather than being a third-person shooter with hacking elements. This also comes into play with the expansion of hacking in-game. You can drive vehicles remotely, use drones and an RC car... thing. The expanded hacking library gives you a lot of freedom in how you approach the mission locations. Overall, this is one of the few open-world games I've done a lot of side quests in after completing the main story.
