Watch_Dogs 2

The developer over promised and under delivered with the original Watch_Dogs, and while it was a decent game with plenty of merits – it was also subject to intense scrutiny and bad press. As such, dumping resources into a sequel seemed like a risky move for a AAA developer. But thankfully Watch_Dogs 2 corrected almost every criticism with the original, and in doing so – delivered a fun open-world game with markedly better action than the original and a charismatic cast of characters. Watch_Dogs 2’s success is perhaps one of the most important factors for the existence of Legion, or any upcoming sequel that the developer might have in the pipeline.
