When discussing pre-orders forWatch Dogs 2however, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot only referred to itas “disappointing”.It did go on to eventually sell over 10 million copies though, which is roughly around the same amount the originalWatch Dogssold, so you can hardly say it wasn’t a success.Likewise, both games went on to receive a roughly similar critical reception, with both games averaging out somewhere in the low 80s on Metacritic.AdvertIf anything however,Watch Dogs 2actually has an ever so slightly lower score when compared to the original game.Personally, I find that kind of baffling, asWatch Dogs 2seems like the clearly superior game.Of course, hindsight is 20/20, so nobody could have predicted that a lot of people would consider the sequel the superior game in the long run.It is absolutely worth checking out if you never got around to it though, and if you have a PS Plus Extra subscription anyway… the only thing you’re at risk of wasting is your time.Featured Image Credit: SonyTopics:Watch Dogs,Ubisoft,Playstation Plus
