Review by null_deadaccount - Watch Dogs

Seriously. Don't even look at those low ratings all because of "poor optimization" or "graphics downgrade" or all those stuff. IMO this game deserves more.

UPDATE: I just found out that the reason for the graphics downgrade was because the PS3/PS4/X360/XBONE couldn't handle it. In my opinion Ubisoft did the right thing, if the PC had superior graphics compared to the consoles those PC MUSTARD RACERS will think of themselves immortal and do nothing but bitch about consoles.

Watch_Dogs is in my opinion one of the best games I ever played. Even with the downgrade, the game manages to look better than most games these days. As I have finished the entire game, the story is just damn near brilliant.. At one point during ACT IV the feels just came to me like a wave splashing on my face. The game brings you through a dark, sad and brilliant story showing you the dirty secrets of Chicago.

The game mechanics are really really good, it's amazing. The "Focus" mechanic actually helps during the game, it makes your shooting better and while at low health it gives you a second to react. The "Take Down" mechanic helps in combat more than the guns itself. The many mechanics they added such as Blackout, Jam Comms, etc. And the skills feel amazing.

Some may think the hacking is too overused, but that's the purpose of this game. During each level the game will give you a different challenge, if you're going for a strategy to be undetected then it makes the game challenging, you have to carefully understand the enemy to take him down. But if you're going for the straight-away-shoot-everyone then the game will feel boring.

The game may have some slight flaws, such as when you first play the game the loading time takes FOREVER. And the game tends to freeze a lot, but the more you play it the more the freezing stops. And the story and gameplay may have some REALLY REALLY SMALL flaws, but I didn't mind them.

It's really good and is a MUST PLAY.
10/10 - Really well done Ubisoft.
