'Watchdogs 2'

Why do I consider it to be one of my favourites video games of all?

Watchdogs 2 a game created by the company Ubisoft. The company that bought us other awesome games such as The Crew, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and many other awesome games. But I have always loved the Watchdog games, and I want to say why I think Watchdogs is my most favourite game ever.

Before I proceed, I want to say that I talked about the first Watchdogs game and this will be the same sort of idea, and when Watchdogs Legion is released, and when I play it I will certainly will be doing a review on that as well. In case anyone hasn't noticed, I'm very excited for Watchdogs Legions. But that's not what I want to talk about here. I want to talk about Watchdogs 2.

Watch Dogs 2 is an action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the sequel to 2014's Watch Dogs, and was released worldwide for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows in November 2016. Once I heard that Watchdogs 2 was going to be released, I was so happy and excited for the new game. Just like the first game when I saw the trailer for the second game, I fell in love with the game already. I pre-ordered the game for when it was released.

Once I had the game in hand, and a bunch of other stuff that came in the collector's pack—which included stickers, a map of San Francisco, and cards with art on it. I was very happy with everything I got at that point. The game came out on a Wednesday, and on the Saturday I began playing the game. Once loaded in, I was very impressed by the new game play mechanics of the game. The controls were a bit different from the first game, which took a bit of time to get used to, I have to admit.

The main character of the new Watchdogs adventure is Marcus Holloway, Who joins DedSec to take down Blume and cTOS 2.0. Members of DedSec are Wrench, Sitara Dhawan, Josh Sauchak, and Horatio Carlin. Later on in the game, they are met by Raymond Kennedy, Who was in the previous Watchdog game, and joins DedSec. When I was playing the game, I immediately fell in love with the story, the characters, and the whole adventure the game had to offer. Just like the first game "Hacking is our weapon." That quote will stay with the Watchdogs games and Ubisoft forever, I believe.

Aiden Pearce Easter egg in Watchdogs 2.

Not only I think that the Aiden Pearce Easter egg is great in the game, but you can also unlock Aiden's jacket, cap, and trousers (pants if you live in America). I think it's a very neat idea that they got Aiden Pearce to make an appearance in Watchdogs 2. I consider Aiden Pearce a great character in the first Watchdogs game.

In conclusion, I think Watchdogs is a fantastic game, and I think Ubisoft has done a great job with the two games so far. I really do hope that they continue to make many more Watchdog games in the future, or maybe Watchdog-type games. One thing I would love to see is a full Watchdogs movie, I think that would be awesome to see, But I'm not sure if Ubisoft would be confident in making it into a movie. The two games are almost like a movie anyway, in my opinion. But I think watching a Watchdogs movie on the big screen would be an awesome idea, and a great project for directors and producers.

People often ask me what Watchdogs game I prefer, and the answer I always give is both of them. Because both games have a great storyline to them, they both have awesome characters that we know and love, and they have great game play mechanics. In my opinion, that's all you need for a great game, and I can't wait to see what the next game Watchdogs Legions has to offer. I will certainly be doing a review once I have had a look at the game.
