I don't like admitting to people im mentally challenged but ive played almost every ubisoft game of the last decade (side quests and all)
Watch Dogs 1 was amazing with the mods, the ones that give you the e3 experience plus the living city mod which does procedural missions. The multiplayer is quite unique too.
Watch Dogs 2 is easy as shit but its exactly what people expected out of the first one. A world where hacking is the main mechanic instead of a cool side one.
The story and characters in 2 feels like the shitty saturday morning adaptation of the first one (like robocop had or police academy)
The first one was great story wise really mature and outside of the fact that the hero and villian are both white and no one mentions it despite most enemies either being black or police. But 90% of the missions revolve around driving and shooting.
