Far Cry 4 vs Watch Dogs 2
Far Cry 4
Far Cry 4 casts you into the role of Ajay Ghale, a person who travelled to the remote mountainous region of Kyrat to fulfill his mother's dying wish only to find himself trapped in a civil war between the rebels and the dictator that ruled the region with an iron fist, Pagan Min. Featuring the same epic open world and the freedom to literally do whatever you like, Far Cry 4 has a whole lot more deadly beings aside from humans with guns; the place is teeming with a wide variety of dangerous wildlife that will put your hunting skills to the test. The game also provides you with a whole new set of weapons and vehicles, including the ability to ride an elephant into battle. Far Cry 4 even has a co-op aspect where you can grab a friend to explore the beautiful region and kill Pagan's people along with you.However, the game only has an automatic save (and no checkpoint saves) that severely limits the supposedly sandbox aspect of the game and well, the game has unskippable cutscenes, which frankly can get rather annoying in your second playthrough. Despite its downsides though, Far Cry 4 feels a lot more realistic than most open world games mainly because of the abundant of wildlife that is supposed to be present in a remote region like Kyrat. If you've enjoyed most of the Far Cry games so far, you'll definitely love this one.
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!
