One of the most underrated games of the last generation. It has super fun gameplay, its combat is almost better than Arkham's freeflow, the driving is weirdly good (not a thing I would expect from a 2014 game), the open world is unique and there's tons of things to be done!

I think, but that's just me tbh, if they had given a bit more focus and polish to the parkour I would have loved this game even more but alas, I can understand why they didn't. It doesn't need it, anyway. The game flows perfectly either way and that is something that I've always loved about this game. Somehow, you can go from shooting out of a car to driving said car into a group of enemies, then you can jump out and, without missing a beat, run full force at one of the goons, grab them and fucking smash their face against an air conditioner. And it literally looks so SMOOTH.

Also I think it lowkey gets forgotten about a lot because it has a very similar name to Watch_Dogs and when I was a dumb little kid I thought they were connected. So yeah, like, please don't do that again thanks. Anyway, as I was saying, game good :)

It's a shame it'll probably never receive a sequel. I quite enjoyed the story and I felt like the mechanics, art style and soundtrack were really fitting with the tone of the game. Definite hidden gem which is almost always on sale, shame for the developers cause this game is better than most AAA games nowadays.
