San Francisco at your fingertips, a smartphone as a weapon, and a crew of hackers laughing as they own the city.

The profile rests on few votes, so to be confirmed, but the contrast jumps out. The desert island, the game you would take alone, puts Watch Dogs 2 ahead of 92% of titles, very high, with the visual style following ahead of more than eight games in ten, and rediscovery just behind. And yet attachment drops hard, ahead of only a quarter of all games. There is the tension: you would gladly take it along, you love its look and its world, but the intimate bond never quite forms. You admire it without fully attaching.

Among urban open worlds, Watch Dogs 2 bets on a colorful, living city and a generous tech playground, where other showcases aim for the heart before the scenery.

So, who is it for? For you if you love a metropolis that sparkles, a sandbox full of ideas, and a style that catches the eye. Much less if you want a game that ties you to its characters to the point of never letting them go.
