Watch Dogs is an action–adventure game played from a third-person perspective and is developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It follows the story of a hacker named Aiden Pearce and is set in a fictional version of Chicago, Illinois. The story is set during a time when every person’s move is tracked by digital trails due to technological advances when it comes to connectivity. A system called the Central Operating System (CTOS) controls each and every piece of Chicago’s technology, and at the same time holds key information on all its residents. As Aiden Pearce, you will be exacting revenge against those that caused the sudden death of a loved one, and you have the power to manipulate everything connected to the CTOS in order to find the perpetrators of the crime. Watch Dogs features an open world map which will allow you to explore and freely roam Chicago. The game also includes scenarios with objectives you need to complete in order for the story to move along. Your greatest hacking tool in the game is Aiden’s smartphone which is equipped with apps called the Profiler (which allows Aiden to access a person’s information), and the Crime Prevention System (which notifies Aiden if a crime is likely to occur nearby). You can also use the smartphone to hack into other people’s bank accounts, unlock weapons, cars, or in-game music. Another amazing feature of the smartphone includes the ability to summon cars, stop trains, or create a city-wide blackout. All these and more awesome features await you in Watch Dogs!
