I like the game. The missions, the themes, the graphics, the city, the character switching mechanic are all pretty fun. I just wish each character had more to offer. Characters like Spies or Construction Workers are literally always better than any rando you pick off the street. So all the randoms in my crew are people who give me monetary boosts and I just use the specialists and DLC characters for missions. At the very least the random characters should have access to a full weapon arsenal: the shock pistol is absolutely useless against mobs.
Also, the stealth mechanics in this game are a huge downgrade from Watch Dogs 2 for some reason. WD2 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint do stealth way better and are older games, they should've just implemented those systems.
Honestly the game looks mid, but I just wanna walk around future london. I'd get the game on a sale or pirate just for that tbh. I like to use big city contemporary open world games as exploration games
one of my fav things about WD2 was how you could get thru the whole game with stealth and without killing anyone, but then basically every mission in this one ends with "ohno! the hacked computer is being slowed down by _____! defend this tiny zone while a timer ticks down!"
overall tho, i enjoyed it. the open world looks great and is pretty fun to just walk around, and the customization is great if you have the same brand of autism as me that causes me to sink hours into making all my characters have dope outfits
i was looking forward to play around in london, a setting that isnt particularly common for open world games, and after having played and loved watch dogs 2 this was a massive disappointment. incredibly linear gameplay, tons of features removed, dialogue that sounds like it was written by AI and a story that must have been made on the spot
Game is alright, worth it when on a big discount though. Combat can be very fun though the annoying bullet sponges does show at times. Not bad but definitely mid, especially with its story and driving. Only recommend for recruiting characters to play and mindless killing.
