10 Reasons Watch Dogs 2 Is One Of The Best Sequels Ever

1. Hacking Is Everything

Arguably the most important part of the Watch Dogs experience, the hacking in Watch Dogs 2 is leaps and bounds better than it ever was.

Every single aspect of Watch Dogs 2 is related to hacking and each one feels developed. Every entry in this list can actually be related back to the central hacking mechanics. The characters and story are all hackers dealing with data invasion, a very real threat in our day and age. This makes the hacking not only feel like an important gameplay aspect, but also an important theme.

Stealth is complemented by the ability to use hacking, and the ability to make other cars swerve whilst driving allows for blistering speed as you manually clear the highway ahead. Every gameplay mechanic, from parkour to shooting, feels improved by the ability to hack almost everything in sight.

This level of advancement is amazing considering how little the hacking actually featured in the first game, and it's the principal reason Watch Dogs 2 is so much better than the original.
