'Watch Dogs 2' review and latest news: Should you or should you not buy the title?

Today marks the release date of "Watch Dogs 2" for consoles and it is common for a gamer to think if the title is worth the money. Here is a roundup of details every player should know before investing in the title.

This month has a lot sequels to anticipate. Aside from "Dishonored 2," gamers are also anticipating the coming of "Watch Dogs 2," which will again put the players' hacking skills to the test. Both titles have been one of the most anticipated premium games especially since Ubisoft has not released any update for the "Assassin's Creed."

The company is betting on "Watch Dogs 2" to perform well, especially since they are applying the lesson they learned from the first title. However, this would reflect when the title finally rolls out in a couple of hours in Xbox One and PlayStation 4 (PS4), and on November 29 for PC.

"Watch Dogs 2" features the main protagonist, Marcus Holloway, whose first mission is situated in San Francisco Bay Area. He needs to hack a collective Dedsec by sneaking into a strict server facility and hack one of the main terminals so as to delete and rewrite the data.

According to ARS Technica, the title has similarities to the "Assassin's Creed" and "Grand Theft Auto" franchises since car theft and gun combat are seen in the gameplay. However, the publication noted that those who are expecting a "realistic" hacking feel will be disappointed as the hacking is just as easy as 1-2-3.

Digital Trends also shared their own review, stating that the title came just in time with the presidential election still a hot issue. "Watch Dogs 2" has apparently improved in substantial ways, but the core gameplay is described as not as "fresh" as its narrative.

Those asking if the title is worth buying for? "Watch Dogs 2" can be a good investment, especially since it has a somewhat unique story and gameplay, the publication noted. Since it needs hacking to solve problems, it is different from what "GTA," "Assassin's Creed" and "Dishonored" have offered.
