Overall, I really enjoyed Watch_Dogs 2. The addition of the drones to assist in your hacking, and delivery of explosives is fantastic and well used. San Francisco feels like a vibrant, life-filled city, and the missions always had a little bit of something about them. When not on a mission, there's plenty of "busy work" to be done, but at least you don't need to climb towers to unlock parts of the map; it's all there to begin with.

This feels like more of a stealth game than the original Watch_Dogs, but that's perfectly fine given the cast, and the tools you have at your disposal.

The one thing that I did find a tad out of place was that the group of people you associate with, and play as yourself didn't really fit the aesthetic of killers; I could totally get behind Marcus tasering someone in order to get in and hack a system, but taking them down lethally did feel like a stretch of the imagination, compared to Aiden in the first game.
