![]() There's an art to accomplishing your goals without being noticed, but if you prefer to stand tall and carry a big stick, no major character will question your tactics-least of all Marcus himself. ![]() Your smartphone can manipulate electronics and vehicles remotely thanks to its suite of DedSec apps, and hop between closed-circuit cameras to silently enter municipal and corporate buildings. If you've ever wanted to harass the nefarious pharma bro Martin Shkreli or peer into the mind of a social network bigwig, there's a mission for that. Your partners come on strong at times, overflowing with hacker cliches, but outside of DedSec's secret hideout, the Bay Area's biggest tech companies, personalities, and headlines steal the show. With San Francisco's skyline at your back, you guide our upbeat protagonist Marcus into the open arms of DedSec-a well-meaning hacktivist group that fights for privacy and justice against the likes of the FBI and social network giants. ![]() However, the majority of Watch Dogs 2 is designed for solo play and everything outside of multiplayer seems to be in working order.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's We don't know if the issue will be resolved before Watch Dogs 2 goes public, so our full review will have to wait until we can test multiplayer in real-world conditions after launch. Though we only experienced multiplayer-related frame rate issues a few times, it was relentless when it occurred-rebooting the game was the only cure. In response to reports of heavy slowdown during multiplayer events, Ubisoft temporarily disabled seamless PVP last week. We've spent almost 40 hours with the game, and though we were able to beat every main objective and most side missions, not every aspect of Watch Dogs 2 was ready for showtime leading up to launch. In what turned out to be a smart maneuver, Ubisoft dialed back the self-serious cyberpunk drama from the first game, aiming for something closer to an absurd hacker sitcom with Grand Theft Auto's irreverent atmosphere. Watch Dogs 2 makes a life of cybercrime in San Francisco almost irresistibly fun. Stay tuned in the coming days as we continue to asses the game and give Ubisoft a chance in good faith to fix multiplayer. That's missing right now, and it's not clear when it will be fixed. Knowing that we could unexpectedly find ourselves interrupted by a threat, especially one with a human in control, made an average moment in Watch Dogs 2's open world a little more special. When we got a taste of seamless PVP during testing, we experienced a few instances with serious frame rate problems, but when everything worked, being invaded by other hackers and joining the police to chase down rivals made you feel like a part of a dynamic world. There are a lot of diversions on the map and plenty of interesting discoveries to make, but the in-game world is on the small side and only sparsely populated with NPCs. We say that not because Ubisoft promised seamless multiplayer, but because Watch Dogs 2 needs something like PVP to round out its open-world. Our impressions of the game's single player content can be found below, and while we are still playing it for fun-because a lot of Watch Dogs 2 is quite good-it ultimately feels incomplete. You can still team up with a friend to tackle a handful of co-op-specific missions, but you will not run into other hackers on the streets of San Francisco until Ubisoft finds a fix and issues an update. Ubisoft made it official yesterday: there will be no seamless multiplayer at launch. Update: Watch Dogs 2 is out, but it's not complete.
