Yes, Watch dogs is a very underrated game and I am here to defend it.
The representation of Chicago is incredible, the open world might not have many activities but its a pleasure to drive around watching every corner of the city
The setting and tone of the game are very cool. Its very dark and atmospheric, Ubisoft nailed it
The navegation and parkour are awesome, with lots of verticality and buildings to climb
The gunplay is the best one in the series. Aidens animations are reallly well done, specially the executions. Stealth and base infiltration are very fun, with lots of things to hack and options to deal with enemies
Driving can be a little bit stiff depending on the car you are driving but once you learn how it works, its really good. I really like the car chases, they are the best in the series. The AI is super aggresive and its difficult to get rid of them. I like the challenge the game gives in that sense
The writing is surprisingly good, and the actors did a really good job. There are no cringy moments or anything that stand out badly
I know that people hate Aiden but I really believe he is a good character, he has charisma and I really like his stoic behavior. Man of a few words but when he speaks he says interesting stuff. There are other characters that I really like too, like Clara, Jordi or T Bone. They all have good moments in the game
The graphics are still awesome. Yes i know that there was a downgrade and fuck Ubisoft for doing this but the game still looks really good, specially considering that is a 2014 game. Textures are great, the lighting is still really good, the game can look stunning when its raining, so so good.
The campaign has very good missions and they have variety, which is something surprising in a Ubisoft game. I really like the one where you are driving the guy to meet the owner of the club, the ending is brutal
The music is really good, not so much the radio I admit but the score of the game has very good tracks
And I could go on and on. The game has some flaws, yes (side content, downgrade) but i think the backlash from the community was very extreme. There is a very good game here that a lot of people probably missed because of the bad reputation. With a few mods on pc it looks incredible and it plays extremely well too
This is all I had to say :D
