20 Most Underrated Open-World Video Games Of The Decade (So Far)
13. Watch Dogs 2
What is it with Ubisoft and sequels? Both Assassin's Creed and now Watch Dogs benefitted hugely from putting a step forward and having it snapped at, only to return years later with what should've been there all along.
In Watch Dogs 2's case, every last part of the whole 'hack the world' ethos was taken to the extreme. Suddenly you weren't just limited to hacking peoples' personal data, now you could control cars, forklifts, security cameras, drones and more. If done right, you could even finish some of the missions from outside the combat area, safely tucked away around a corner, ordering your army from the comfort of a laptop.
Therein lies the brilliance of Watch Dogs 2, and although its sales most likely mean Ubi will abandon a third instalment, there's a lot of fun to be had in remotely accessing every device known to mankind.
