I also truly enjoyed the comical & light-hearted tone of the second game poking fun at internet meme culture, millennial culture, and the pretentious alternative lifestyles of billionaire tech gurus of Silicon Valley. I adore this series and I wasn’t bothered by the graphical downgrade of Watch Dogs final product versus what was shown at E3. It garnered favorable reviews, but wasn’t as highly lauded with praise to the extent of which Ubisoft was hoping for.
