I don't see myself finishing this game. Played it twice and gave up and quit
on it both times. Sure it's not bad for a first attempt at an open world game,
but it is far from a great game, and far from a next gen game. When I bought
this game, I was expecting a game, kind of like the game “Syndicate” mixed
with “GTA”.
The upsides: You can hack a lot of things in the world which can be used to
your advantage. The people all have a profile that makes them slightly more
interesting than generic NPC's. The AI are pretty decent for the most part. The
multiplayer modes are quite fun.
And now for the downsides: A lot of basic visual effects are either bad or
missing, such as some shadows, reflections, etc. No way to shoot your weapon
while in a vehicle, which makes driving takedowns a nightmare. Considering that
I played GTA V on the Xbox 360, It is quite bad that GTA V's graphics and
animations are far better looking and more realistic than Watch dogs. Cars in
the game are very arcadey and unrealistic to drive.
I don't really know how to sum this game up for you. I found it highly
frustrating at times and as I said before, gave up on it each time I played
it. The multiplayer is a lot of fun, but really isn't enough to redeem this
game. I'd say give it a rental, you might like it, you might not.
