i have alot of thoughts on this game but it would take me multiple hours to say it all
its a mixture of the combat, world, atmosphere, story, levels and progression system with an excellent attention to detail and polish ontop.
I first played this in 2020, it has since become my favourite game of all time.

it would be easier to list the 10 things i dont like about this game:

1. the car radio is poor and inconsistent with alot of mediorce music
2. vehicle handiling takes a while to get used to (not bad, just you powerslide alot and cars have a really fast acceleration and are heavy)
3. midday sunny looks a bit bland and flat (especialy in the brandon docks area and the wards, can be fixed with a mod called "the worse mod"
4. there are some parts in the story that feels a bit contrived (nicky not knowing about the fox, defalt coming in out of nowhere)
5. weird mouse controls that require a ini tweak to fix
6. some of the t-bone missions have an obnoxious difficulty spike
7. the fight with iraq is laughably short and easy
8. preformance problems (is pretty CPU heavy)
9. aiden sometimes has an annoying recovery animation after getting knocked over
10. the game sucks on a controller (please play with a mouse and keyboard after fixing the mouse)

thats it, that is all my issues with this game and everything else is executed brilliantly.

watch_dogs is consistently fantastic from beginning to end, the combat is excellent, the story is gritty and is full of great characters and has tons and tons of great moments. its atmospheric dark, beautiful and extremely fun to play.

10/10 - the best game i have ever played and will probably ever play, please pick this up if you are a fan of action games of any kind i promise you you will not regret it.

bad blood is also really good with it wrapping up t-bone and tobias's arc, hard though.
