The game has a lot for Ubisoft, with promises of greater freedom and greater diversity in this release. Will this release be the next move in the distinctive Watch Dog series with new ideas and a new city? This is what we'll talk about in the following lines of our review.
The events of this part take place in the future city of London in a world dominated by smart and portable devices, drones, surveillance cameras and smart cars, in this part you will return to play with DedSec, but not in the usual way. From the very first moments you will have the option to choose a character from several available characters, each with characteristics, features and skills Different also different anecdotal backgrounds, and as soon as it begins, it becomes apparent to you that your mission to discover the cause of the bomb attacks in London was attributed to Dedsec, which is the work of a group called Zero Day and used by the British government forces Albion to eliminate Dedsec members one by one and to establish their control over the entire city.
And here your mission begins to revive DedSec from scratch by recruiting many characters in the game world, the story is presented in an excellent way and with interesting and sometimes surprising events to maintain your desire to learn more behind every event in the game, all the characters in the city are subject to recruitment, but you have to specify who you need. A person whose skills will benefit you in the game, as each character has special requirements to join, such as performing a task or several tasks in his favor, to join the team and the diversity of the characters 鈥檚kills according to their jobs in a distinctive way that adds more depth to the game. Your recruiting for a doctor will help treat the injured characters as soon as possible, and your recruitment for a year [for building will provide you with the option to use small cargo planes to move around (drones). Your recruiting for a policeman from the Albion will allow you to enter their headquarters more easily. Playing and gives a great value to each new recruitment process you do, and the recruitment system is more profound than we imagined, so your recruitment of someone opens options for you to recruit his family members or friends and vice versa. D. Characters are not accepted to join you. You can reach them by joining their friends or one of their family members.
Speaking of freedom in the game, the game offers you several options to control the game in the appropriate way for you, from choosing the level of difficulty to choosing technical upgrades for the characters, clothes, accessories, weapons, colors, etc. until the option to activate or close eternal death in the game. This option gives an important addition to the style of play, so activating it will give value to each A decision that you do, so the death of the character in this case means losing it forever, and this means that you must complete playing with another character after you mastered playing with the skills of the previous character. Each character has skills that distinguish them from others. Everything, the death of one of your characters or one of the residents of the city may make it difficult or prevent one of their family members from joining your group in the future because of their anger and hatred for Dedsec. Your.
Well, you will not lose everything in the event of the character鈥檚 death. Technical upgrades such as developing drones or weapons will be common to all characters. You can collect upgrade points by completing different missions or searching for them in various places in London.
Distinctive story development with appropriate gradation of events with appropriate movement in gameplay methods to prevent repetition and add diversity between several fronts in the story. The story is divided into chapters, each of which relates to a part of the problems you face as chapters dedicated to Albion missions and chapters for Zero day missions and other tasks on your way to find a link between The two bands and Dedsec revived.
The missions in the game are divided into basic, side and recruiting missions, the main tasks which are the story missions that are branched with several factions and different fronts, and each has a special chapter to finish its tasks to reach the end of all chapters to collect them at the end and form a complete picture of the story of the game. As you progress through the story, you will get to know many of the assisting characters who will request some side missions and when you complete them, you will get money and technical points and finally we have the recruiting tasks which are requirements of the people targeted for recruitment and you must accomplish them if you want to convince them to join your team.
Let's talk here about the dazzling city of London with its details, and here we commend the development studio that has succeeded in presenting a live and interactive world. Everything on the roads is full of life from many cars and civilians who do various jobs and different drones flying around you to ship goods or inspect and not only that, everything in the game is due and perfectly If you pass by a person in the city and he appears sad and pirate his phone to discover his identity, you will be surprised that this person has large debts and that is why he is in this situation and has measured that in thousands of characters, which adds fun to exploring the city and getting to know the characters and why not help some of them and include them in your group. Well, that's not all. There are many side events in this city, such as battlefields, soccer fields, or even options for making paintings on the walls. As a traditional option that has become known in Ubisoft games, you have to liberate the areas of the city of London by performing different tasks, but they have been presented. Better yet this time first you don't have to climb any towers here! Nor do you finish dozens of repetitive missions to liberate one of the areas, but all you have to do is perform three simple and varied tasks in each region and upon completion, you will be required to complete a distinct last mission that offers a different style of play such as car chasing, exploration using drones and avoiding various obstacles.
The style of play is divided between piracy and hacking computers and cameras, the use of various techniques for sequencing, completing tasks stealthily, and attacking with hands, or using the arsenal of weapons that you have to enter the most powerful security headquarters, and the choice here is up to you, as each task has several ways to end it and there are complex tasks that may have a simple solution if you think well as one Highly guarded security headquarters. I was able to fly to the roof of the building and send a robot spider to sequence from one of the ventilation holes and bring the required information without spilling blood or exposing your character to danger and here lies the strength of the game as it leaves all options open to you to choose the most suitable one for you.
The sounds and music in the game are perfect with hundreds of voices for different characters, a world bustling with life, the sounds of battles and loud music, but do not wait to hear the roar of engines, as you are in the future in a world dominated by semi-silent electric cars.
The game mastered the exploitation of the devices of the current generation, and provided us with a distinctive city with a world full of details and attractive graphics, despite the lack of details of the characters' faces, and London looks amazing at night with beautiful lighting techniques and rain effects.
Technically, the game provided stable performance in most of the playing times, but during play the game stopped working twice in addition to some problems that might hinder you from completing the tasks, such as the disappearance of a character that you must kill or the death of a character that you must pursue, so you find yourself stuck in the task without an option to return the file or the task to be required You have to close the game and run it again to find yourself out of the mission and you have to restore some of its parts with the return of all the enemies that you had previously eliminated.
With the huge game world and hundreds of characters, cars and drones in the game world, you will see some elements of the game disappear and appear from time to time, especially when flying using shipping drones, you will feel that the device is suffering to try to keep up with you with dozens of moving details in the city.
Here, let me be clear that I am very excited to try the game on new generation devices when it is released, as most of the simple problems seem easy to solve with the capabilities of the new generation devices and the SSD memory.
In the end, we must pay tribute to what Ubisoft has provided in terms of Arabization in this part, as the game is fully Arabized for texts and menus, and not only that. To offer us one of the best localization processes in Ubisoft games, if not the best.
