Watch Dogs 2 for PC, PS4 and XONE is the successor to an open-world action game Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series.

Plot

In contrast to the seriousness and gloomy atmosphere of the first installment, Watch Dogs 2 delivers the player with a more relaxed approach to the formula of a hacking-themed open-world game. The action is set in a completely new town, which is San Francisco this time. The player assumes the role of Marcus Holloway, though what is really important is that he is a member of Dedsec – a group gathering local hackers. Although Dedsec's share a goal, which is to destroy the Central Operating System, they are also focused simply on enjoying their "work". Thus Watch Dogs 2 offers an atmosphere that is significantly more relaxed than what could be felt when playing the original game – a grim avenger was the lens through which the virtual world was perceived.

DualShockers: 8 / 10 by Giuseppe Nelva

It’s certainly not a perfect picture, but despite the wacky balance and the flaws, Watch Dogs 2 manages to be a very enjoyable experience, and a game definitely worth its price tag with its rich content and carefully crafted world at your physical and virtual fingertips. At times it almost feels like the delightful God simulators of old, only with an enormously expanded scale.
