About the Game
Watch_Dogs® 2 is an open-world hacking action-adventure from Ubisoft, set in San Francisco and starring the hacker Marcus Holloway.
Watch_Dogs® 2 sits in the action and adventure genres, and it is built around hacking more than brute force. You play as Marcus Holloway, a young and skilled hacker who joins DedSec, a notorious hacking group, to carry out what the store page describes as the largest hacking operation in history. The main goal is to take down ctOS 2.0, the intrusive system a criminal kingpin uses to monitor and control citizens on a massive scale. The setting is the San Francisco Bay Area, the birthplace of the tech revolution, and the city itself is central to the story.
The core loop centers on exploring a dynamic open world with many possible approaches. Many connected devices around the city can be hacked, which lets you control public facilities and turn the environment to your advantage. As you play, you develop different skills that reflect your style, and you upgrade your hacking tools, which the store page lists as remote-controlled cars, quadcopter drones, and 3D-printed weapons, among other things. That gives you room to choose how you tackle each situation rather than relying on one fixed method.
What stands out in the store description is the multiplayer side. The game promotes a new cooperative mode and competitive multiplayer, and it says you can connect with friends seamlessly while enjoying the game. It also supports Tobii eye tracking, where your gaze can help you find enemies, take cover, and pick hacking targets, provided you have a compatible Tobii eye tracking device.
Feature Highlights
- Hack connected devices across the city to control public facilities and shape how each encounter plays out.
- Upgrade your hacking toolkit with remote-controlled cars, quadcopter drones, and 3D-printed weapons.
- Build different skills that match your personal play style as you progress through the story.
- Join friends in a new cooperative mode or take part in competitive multiplayer matches.
- Use Tobii eye tracking with a compatible device to spot enemies, find cover, and target hacks with your gaze.
- Track your progress with Steam achievements as you work through the game.
Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
If you enjoy open-world games where hacking and environmental tricks matter as much as shooting, Watch_Dogs® 2 is a strong fit. Players who like a mix of action and adventure, and who want to experiment with gadgets like drones and remote cars, will find plenty to do. It also suits friends who want to share an open world, since cooperative play is a featured part of the experience.
Not Recommended For
If you are looking for a short and tightly focused experience, the dynamic open world may feel like more than you want. Players who have no interest in multiplayer will miss a large part of what the store page promotes. Anyone who needs to limit adult content should check the content warning before starting.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Watch_Dogs® 2 holds a Very Positive rating on Steam, shown as 極度好評 on the Taiwan store, with 82% of its reviews being positive. That is a strong result for a game with hundreds of thousands of reviews, so the verdict reflects a large and varied pool of players rather than a handful of early opinions.
Steam review labels are calculated from the share of positive reviews and the total number of reviews, so a high percentage backed by a large volume is generally more dependable than the same percentage from a small sample. A label like this usually signals broad satisfaction among people who bought the game. Individual experiences still vary, so it is worth reading recent reviews that match your own priorities.

All prices in this guide are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Watch_Dogs® 2 is currently NT$ 1699, which is also its regular price, and it is not on a tracked discount at the moment.
Our price record shows a lowest paid price of NT$ 84, recorded on June 26, 2026, and a deepest discount of 95%. Discounts have come up often, so the game has a history of sharp sales. It has not been free to keep on any day we tracked, and we have not recorded any previous free-to-keep promotions for it.
Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative. At the full price of NT$ 1699 with no discount in effect, it is a weaker moment to buy than a sale would be. Wishlisting the game and waiting for a markdown is the more sensible approach based on what we have seen so far, though a deep sale like the NT$ 84 low is not guaranteed to come back.
