Watch Dogs 2 2016

Is it still worth playing?

Marcus Holloway and the hacktivists of DedSec go against Blume and its ctOS 2.0, the system that watches the city, in this 2016 open world game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It moves the series from a grey Chicago to a sunny Bay Area more than twice the size. Anything on the network is yours: traffic lights, cranes, cars and the phones in people's pockets, with a quadcopter and a remote controlled car to hack from a distance, and a phone can overload a circuit box from afar. Progress is followers, since every operation goes out as a video and the count climbs, and the game would rather you did not kill, handing you a taser. Other players wander your city, to be joined for missions or to invade you and steal your data. The phone still turns every stranger's pocket into something to read today.
