If you wanted a modern Assassin's Creed, this is it. I bought the digital deluxe edition and I don't regret it. Usually video game stories aren't too good, but this one really pulled me in and got me invested in every character. Aiden is a badass who wants to take care of his family, you got Jordi Chin who is hilarious but also kind of a psychopath, T-bone who is also kind of a psychopath but also really fun, and you got Clara who's character really gets you to care about them throughout the story.
The gameplay encourages you to use hacking as much as possible but doesn't force it upon you, which I love. The hacks themselves are extremely fun, especially the one where you turn off all the lights in the city. What annoyed me was the whole good guy bad guy system it had, where if you killed civilians the bar would go towards evil, and if you did good and stopped crimes, the bar would go towards hero/vigilante and stuff like that. I hated this system cuz sometimes I just wanted to cause some classic GTA styled mayhem. Unfortunately, I didn't and went full hero and maxed it out.
Here is the thing about the gunplay. I did not go in guns blazing. Instead I used one weapon. The silenced pistol. Its a neutral point of the game, because in my opinion I think this pistol just makes every other gun obsolete. The range is amazing, its silent, and one shot kills to the head. It was the only gun I needed to use throughout the gameplay but it felt satisfying.
The customization was ok, it was just different trench coats for Aiden and they all looked cool, but essentially the same thing. The different cars were also cool.
So now the multiplayer. The multiplayer of the first watch dogs was kind of overlooked in my opinion, but was one of the best aspects of Watch Dogs. The free roam multiplayer sucked, I will admit. There was literally nothing to do, it was the same as the singleplayer free roam but without the consequence of that good vs evil bar I mentioned earlier, which was cool. But the fixer stuff in multiplayer stuck out to me. You could just be chilling in your singleplayer world when suddenly you started to get hacked and you had to find the dude that was doing it in a form of hide and seek. This was so cool and I loved the idea of random people joining your singleplayer game and suddenly making it multiplayer so you had to find and kill them. You could do the same to others by choosing so in the menu, then joining someone else's world and hacking them. First you had to drive over to where they were, then find a hacking place, making sure not to leave and lose them, all the while, a circle is closing in where you might be and it gets more and more stressful the closer they get. It was so fun. They also had this gamemode where you had to escape the police with one player controlling aiden while another controlled the police, and that was really fun, but I never played as the police because it was boring because it was just some menu, although playing as Aiden was very fun. Overall, this game was fantastic in every front and I enjoyed every moment I played of this.
