Very good "open-world" game in Hacker Milieu

Graphics:
It's all good. Unfortunately, very hardware hungry. I have a GeForce GTX 770 with 2GB of VRAM and can not complete everything watchdogs play in the settings on Ultra especially at night (in the game) there is strong stuttering. Other games, such as Battlefield 4 run smoothly in Ultra settings.

Control:
Oh, that's not a good subject, at least on the PC. The control system is completely designed for gamepads and it shows. Driving and walking is still ok even if you often can not leave the cover quickly enough. But the menus are they are a disaster controlled by mouse movements. It is a circular menu on mouse movements to the left or right you move in the menu, using the mouse wheel single options are turned on. Since the mouse movement is quite inaccurate, you never end up mostly immediately where you want to go fast weapon or gadget exchange in the fight are therefore impossible. Luckily, you can pre-select at least 4 arms, between which you can switch during a fight with the mouse wheel.

Story (no spoilers):
Personally, I find the story interesting and exciting. That is about a vendetta, perhaps it is already known. In the beginning you do not know who the mastermind. Gradually, one discovers more and more. All accompanied with videos that drive the story forward.

Between the story:
By the way you can do all sorts of things in the city. Starting with the trip mini-games (I love it when robotic spider to destroy everything) about poker to many search tasks. Over all in the city objects (sights, phones, Audiologs, briefcases, ..) are hidden. Then there are the side quests target people do with the stick and persecutions by car.

Multiplayer:
Other players can hack into your game between missions. Then it is important to find the opposing player in time. This is often quite annoying, because it brings a out of the game. You can turn off the option, although, it may happen nevertheless. (Only between missions)
By the way, there are several challenges from other players this one has to be explicitly accept, or leave just simply left. There are, for example, race and decryption.

Language:
The game has a German language edition. Since the game of computers and hacking are also many technical terms are used.

Conclusion:
The game is a lot of fun, especially on a motorbike through Chicago heat. The story is exciting. There is always something to do in the city.
Negative is the control and the lack of options that no other player can come in the game.
