I’d go as far as to say this is the best open world I’ve ever had the privilege of exploring.
Even though there are some pleasant reminders and references to the original, this is a new, neon-soaked roller coaster ride of fun, chaos and diversity.Īs for the city of San Francisco, I’ve never seen an open world as alive or as versatile as this one. There are no awkward interactions and no joke falls on deaf ears it may be because I’m a massive nerd, but every bit of banter feels natural and really funny, especially when they delve into science fiction conundrums. The personalities all work well together, and they’re well-acted and voiced. They talk about hypothetical fights between Predator and Superman, what kind of Star Wars character they are, and loads more. For starters, the characters like to have a laugh. The tone is much lighter than the original, though. One of the characters called Josh seems to be on the autistic spectrum, and amongst the humour of the game, Ubisoft treats his condition with the attention it deserves. Marcus, Sitara, Wrench, and the rest of the crew have completely different personalities, yet all are interesting in their own way. The story is exceptional, and throughout you’re hooked on finding out what’s going to happen. Marcus joins DedSec and decides enough is enough, set on making sure those that try and rob the general public are stopped and exposed – like a modern day Robin Hood and his Merry Men. In Watch Dogs 2, we are introduced to Marcus Holloway, a young hacker with plenty of enthusiasm and empathy for those who have been wronged by the digital thieves of the world there are plenty of companies trying to steal from the unaware, manipulating our naivety and our innocence so they can become rich. It’s nice to know people want to protect our freedom, our information and our livelihood it’s nice to know we have DedSec. That’s fucking crazy, right? Well imagine how much of that can be corrupted, altered and stolen by the people who know how.
How many times do we post on Facebook or Twitter and think little of what data is travelling to every corner of the world via a post about tasty breakfasts or a boring party? As a world swallowed whole by internet culture, we create 2.8 billion terabytes of data every year. It can bring about debt with a simple click of a button, ruin somebody’s life through social media leaks, and instate great fear though data control.
