    You know, the more I look at this game, the more I think about how 2014 was such a disappointing year for gaming. The dawn of the eighth generation of gaming was upon us with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (oh, and the W... Read Full Review

    Disappointment that should have been avoided

    This game had great potential but the whole experience was disappointing in the end. Story was decent. Protagonist is very uninteresting and his personal story is more frustrating than anything else. However, game has g... Read Full Review

    The problem was to be compared with GTA.

    Watch Dogs is considered by many to be one of the biggest disappointments of the generation, is that so? I do not think it's obvious that talking about who would be the competitor of GTA V made a lot of people get excite... Read Full Review
