The line puzzles that you solved to hack important machines in the original game are now no longer a separate screen – they’re projected onto the walls of the room you’re in.

Another has you defending a hideout using a series of remote controlled gun turrets. Another: a mission sees you attempting to ward off enemies in a crowd, scanning each to see if they’re potential crims before they commit a crime. Under the view of snipers, you simply step out, pull a train to a standstill, get in, and leave. In one early mission, you discover that your escape route is directly next to the Chicago tram line. Another: it knows how cool the Watch_Dogs world could be. So – you can attract a baddie into an office and then lock the door behind them, trapping them inside. One example: in Bad Blood, you can open and close doors behind enemies. You can’t combine hacking one thing, with exploiting another. The world doesn’t feel rich enough to offer options. You can attract guards, maybe make a few things explode, but that’s really it. In Watch_Dogs, when you’re installed in someone’s webcam, security cam, or lap-cam, there’s not actually that much you can do to manipulate the environment around you.
