Hacking feels amazing, The world is alive, Stealth is so rewarding, Feels so fresh to play
Frame rate is inconsistent, Checkpoints can be unforgiving, Story wraps up a little quickly
Watch Dogs 2 completely washes away the bad taste of the first game. The characters are likeable and fun, and it's a world full of brilliant distractions that you can't stop yourself from taking part in. Although the plot does wrap up a little quickly to...

Great looking open-world, huge and hackable secondary layer, ditches the dark and drab serious nature of the original, go stealth or go hard: play as you desire
Driving mechanics are still pants, lacks polish in some areas, repetition in missions, a bit zany and can feel like it's trying too hard, some frame-rate issues
Watch Dogs 2 is a calculated departure from the original game. It's brighter, zanier, broader-reaching and more focused on fun - without the hype to drag it down this time around.But it often feels like it's trying a bit too hard. The mishmash of characte...
Fun, well-drawn characters, Interesting, varied missions with cool ideas, Open-world gameplay gives you options, Seamless multiplayer co-op offers mixes things up
Combat and stealth are more irritating than empowering, Not enough opportunities to hack creatively
As open-world games go, Watch Dogs 2 provides something that feels a little bit unique in terms of story and gameplay. Its emphasis on hacking as a means of solving problems is unlike any other title of similar formula, and its satirical, comedic but less...
More engaging heroes and anarchic humour, Strong and entertaining mission design, Great setting and fun side-activities, Better tools and more freedom to use them your way
Movement doesn't always feel under full control, Dim-witted AI
Watch Dogs 2 is no great leap forward, but it sees the series headed in the right direction with more colour, more flair and a real sense of fun. The action's solid and the mission design much less generic, while Ubisoft Montreal has given you a great set...

Abstract: For all their talk of realism and authenticity, video game developers rarely seek to reflect modern society, or the lives that most of us are living. Grand Theft Auto V produced a ribald, frenzied pastiche of LA, complete with vacuous movie stars and soci...

Unlike the RX Vega 64 Liquid Cooled edition which fell quite short of its performance target of the GTX 1080 Ti and barely matched the GTX 1080, the RX Vega 56 is faster than the GTX 1070 FE. Using performance as our primary metric, at $399, the RX Vega 5...
Abstract: Last Monday, AMD released its new Vega 64 processor in a vain attempt to beat the GTX 1080 and to take the performance crown from NVIDIA's GTX 1080 Ti. Since the reference version throttles performance due to inadequate cooling, BTR purchased a Gigabyte R...
Abstract: Let me explain how most E3 experiences go. About half the games aren't playable. You go into a theater with a group, watch some footage or watch someone else play, and you're done. The half that are playable tend to be either solo experiences or ones wher...
Watch Dogs 2 is what the first game should have been. If Watch Dogs 2 was released instead of the original, the franchise would have been a bigger hit then it is today. Instead, the reaction to the sequel has been mostly “well, it's better then the firs...
