HEADS UP: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO 100% WATCH_DOGS THROUGH STEAM DUE TO SERVERS BEING OFFLINE.

I really enjoyed this game growing up and I still enjoy it now. I think it's a very Ubisoft game, a lot of the side quests and collectables are the same things you'll find in all the Far Cry games and so on but I think this game was extremely over-hated/underrated and I think what it managed to achieve was incredibly impressive at the time. To have the city & world be a completely versatile and able to be constantly changing and evolving based on what you choose to do/hack is really unique.

The story is also pretty good, in some parts it's very long winded but I think it does a really good job of confronting morality and what a person will allow themselves to be apart of or get away with or do because of their own moral compass. The main character, Aiden, convinces himself he's doing what he's doing for revenge but really it's closure and acceptance he's looking for but the things he will do and later question in the sake of revenge really help drive home the point the game is trying to make: we are all evil or immoral or flawed in some way and that the world is an ugly place when there aren't allowed to be any secrets due to overbearing/totalitarian governments *cough* China *cough cough* United Kingdom.
Overall, this game holds up pretty well.

Highly recommended
