  Published: 2014-08-05, Author: Nate , review by: gamecrate.com

  • Abstract:  When Ubisoft's highly-anticipated hacker title Watch Dogs was released this past May, it was met with a mostly positive reception (see the GameCrate review here). The game certainly had its faults, though not so many beyond poor vehicle-handling, somewhat...

  • Entertaining gameplay, Seamless integration of hacking with regular combat and driving that feels like a natural part of the game, Tense, captivating singleplayer story, Ambiance and FX effects look great thanks to NVIDIA integration, but only on highe
  • Demanding system requirements, Overall lack of depth in missions, Poor vehicle handling mechanics, Does not provide much flexibility in character development.
  • Watch Dogs is an entertaining open-world experience, but it lacks depth. A wide variety of skills and vehicles are available to unlock throughout the game, but the skill unlocks don't feel much like rewards and honestly should have been available from the...

  • We don't blame Watch_Dogs for the hype Ubisoft foisted on it for the last two years, but expectations aren't the only problem weighing this game down....

  • Hacking component is fun and engagin, Compelling multiplayer and mini-game, Large skill tre, Chicago looks breathtaking
  • Shallow storytellin, Loose gunplay and driving mechanic, Bad voice acting on the part of the protagonist
  • 'Watch Dogs' delivers big action and creepy thrills by way of its innovative hacking, even if the story falls a little short. Who watches the watchmen? In Ubisoft's highly anticipated "Watch Dogs," the task falls to grizzled protagonist Aiden P...

  • Abstract:  Watch Dogs is Ubisoft's newest open-world IP, where the city of Chicago lies in the palm of your hand, quite literally. You play as Aiden Pearce, a hacker whose life turned upside down after a hotel robbery went wrong and he pissed off the wrong people. W...

  Published: 2014-05-30, review by: techgage.com

  • Abstract:  For the last couple years, Watch Dogs has been taunting both press and gamers alike, with this whole open-world, dystopian, modern hacking adventure. A man with a mobile phone, skulking around, covertly prying into people's lives, stealing bank details, w...

  • Abstract:  You're also kind of a jerk. Though stopping a thief or running over a few too many innocents will affect your overall reputation, the game's morality system is underdeveloped. It's difficult to not feel dirty playing Watch Dogs. Stealing money from some n...

  Published: 2014-05-28, Author: Don , review by: tomshardware.com

  • Watch Dogs is a surprisingly demanding game, particularly when you consider the console hardware it's also running on. But at its most entry-level detail settings and a 1280x720 resolution, you can get by with a Radeon R7 240 or GeForce GT 630 GDDR5. At 1...

  • Every gameplay element, from driving to shooting to hacking to stealth, feels fantastic, Features a large, stunning recreation of the city of Chicago for players to explore, Inventive multi-player that creates all sorts of emergent fun, Tons of satisfying
  • The protagonist is an unrelatable, paper-thin character who can't keep us invested in the story, Uses female characters as expendable plot devices to fuel the male protagonist's revenge, A few story missions strip agency from stealth-minded players to for
  • Watch Dogs' creative blending of proven ideas and excellent execution make it one of the best and most inventive open-world games in years — it's just too bad the premise is marred by a poorly written protagonist and backwards story elements...

  • Watch_Dogs is an extraordinary game that has surprised and delighted this editor who is only just over ten hours into an engrossing main story.  Already, he has played chess successfully to gain ‘focus', been involved in many exciting high speed car chase...
