WATCH DOGS 2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Watch Dogs 2 trades the first game's brooding tone for a more playful San Francisco sandbox full of drones, hacks, gadgets, and social mischief. It still has action, but it is much more interested in creativity than intimidation.
San Francisco gives the sequel a brighter, looser energy than the first game's grim paranoia, and the hacking toolkit feels more playful as a result. It is less interested in brooding over surveillance and more interested in what mischief and creativity a connected city can support.
