Don't ask me why I replayed this, I just had a hankering to retry it.
Now, I actually quite liked this game the first time I played it on release. After playing 2, I did lower my initial score for this one because I just thought 2 was way better. Now on this revisit, I can safely say that I am lukewarm on this game.
Aiden is still one of my most disliked protagonists ever, the side content is some of the most repetitive and boring shit ever, and the story is still very hit-or-miss, but I do have fun playing around in digital Chicago. I'm actually glad I did a replay, just to cement my feelings about the game.

I actually have a review from my old blogsite (https://mfester69.wordpress.com/2014/08/31/watch-dogs-musingreview/) that pretty much sums up all my thoughts on the matter, although I did rate the game a full point higher at the time of release when I played it.
