Mafia III vs Watch Dogs 2
Mafia III
Mafia III is the long-awaited second sequel to the popular mafia-themed action-shooter game, Mafia. Set in the 1968 after the Vietnam War, the game casts you into the role of Lincoln Clay, a Vietnam veteran who had his entire surrogate family, the black mob, wiped out by the Italian Mafia. Vowing revenge for your family, you'll need to build a new mafia from the ground up and bring the fight to the Italian mob. It is either you or them and there is no in-between.Similar to the previous, the game has the same brilliant gun fights, hand-to-hand melee combat as well as heart-pounding car chases with cops and rival mobs alike. You can even choose how you approach a mission the way you like due to the open world nature of the virtual city you'll be roaming around in. Of course, being the leader of a mafia, you will also need to make some hard decisions when deciding who to promote and who to let go as "a necessary casualty". One thing for sure, you'll do whatever it takes to avenge your brothers.
Despite some bugs and glitches, Mafia III is still a great sequel that fans of the series will most certainly enjoy. It still retains its deep gritty feel and the plot, although somewhat cliche (see: Saints Row), is good enough to keep the game going.
Watch Dogs 2
Watch Dogs 2 puts you into the shoes of another brilliant young hacker by the name of Marcus Holloway. This time though, you'll need to join forces with DedSec, a notorious and anonymous group of hackers, to carry out the largest hack of the century to shut down ctOS 2.0, an operating system that has been hijacked by criminal masterminds to stalk and manipulate people on a global scale. Featuring a similarly massive open world set in the San Francisco Bay Area for you to explore, you'll need to use whatever hacking tools you have at your disposal to ensure the success of your missions. The game also offers multiplayer modes where you can play with your friends or against them.However, the best part about this game is the unique eye-tracking feature, allowing you to rapidly target enemies and interact with your surroundings. Granted that not all (well, most) PCs or laptops can run this feature, but for those who can, this little yet significant feature can be incredibly game experience-changing!
Watch Dogs 2 truly pushes the boundaries of what a game can do simply with its eye-tracking feature. Not to mention, if you've been a bit disappointed in the first game, you'll find that this game has improved on almost every aspect possible, especially its diverse characters and deep and meaningful missions. You'll be happy with your purchase for sure!
