Watch Dogs 2

The first game may have felt underwhelming but Ubisoft picked up the slack in Watch Dogs 2, crafting an endearing recreation of San Francisco’s Bay Area. Unlike the previous game, Watch Dogs 2 felt more liberating, allowing players to complete missions of their choosing to accrue the required number of DedSec followers. The missions themselves were also a nice mix of infiltration, hacking, combat and stealth. Perhaps most importantly, the driving was completely overhauled, making the city a joy to actually explore.
