Well, let me tell ya, I’ve been playin’ this Watch Dogs 2 on the PS5, and I gotta say, it looks real pretty, like a shiny new penny. If you’ve got a PS5 sittin’ around, you’re gonna want to try it out. It’s like that moment when you get a good batch of biscuits out the oven, golden and crisp—everything just works better. But let me tell ya, not all is perfect, but we’ll get to that.
Now, this Watch Dogs 2, it’s a game where ya run around a big city, hack stuff, mess with the tech, and even cause a little trouble. It’s set in San Francisco, y’all, and it’s a wild place. You get to see all the sights, hack into all the computers, and mess with all the high-tech gadgets. The game is much bigger and more detailed than the first one. Heck, I was just standin’ there, lookin’ at the tall buildings, and thought, “Well, this sure looks like the future!”
Now, if you’re thinkin’ about playin’ it in 4K, let me tell ya, it really shows off on the PS5. It’s like lookin’ at a photo with good lightin’ and sharp focus. The game looks real smooth, especially when you’re drivin’ around or takin’ a little jog in the virtual city. It feels like everything is runnin’ real quick, but the thing is, it’s not always perfect.
One thing I noticed, though, is that the game ain’t quite at 60 frames per second (FPS) all the time, even on the PS5. It does well most of the time, but sometimes it dips down a bit. On a good day, you’ll get that smooth 60 FPS, but sometimes it hangs around 45 to 50. It’s like when you’re drivin’ your old tractor, it’s goin’ fine, but then it sputters a little. Don’t let that scare ya off, though. Most of the time, it’s smooth as butter.
If you’re playin’ on the PS5 Pro, now that’s a whole ‘nother story. That’s where you get the real treat. The game looks crisp as an apple, and it plays so nice at that 4K 60 FPS. You feel like you’re right there in the city, messin’ with tech and causin’ chaos. I’ll tell ya, I never thought I’d see a game look this good. It’s like a walk in the park, except the park’s full of hackers and tech. But don’t get too excited just yet—Ubisoft’s still workin’ on makin’ it even better.
See, some folks on the internet—those fancy Digital Foundry folks, I hear—said that Ubisoft’s tryin’ to make it run at a solid 4K 30 FPS, or maybe 1080p at 60 FPS on the regular PS5. But right now, it’s not quite there yet. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it dips. But trust me, when it’s workin’ right, it’s a real sight to behold.
Now, let’s talk about the gameplay. Oh boy, it’s fun. If you like messin’ with gadgets and takin’ down big bad corporations, you’ll love it. You can hack anything—from traffic lights to security systems—and make the city do your bidding. You got all these fun little toys to play with, like drones and RC cars, and they sure make things more interesting. It’s a good mix of action, puzzles, and runnin’ around. And the story? Well, it’s better than the first one, that’s for sure. It’s got more heart, more twists, and way more to do.
But here’s the thing—this game isn’t just a simple “hack and run” kinda game. It’s a full-on open world, where you get to make choices. Ya got all kinds of missions, big and small, and it feels like there’s always somethin’ to do. Whether it’s takin’ down a corrupt company or just causin’ a little ruckus, the game lets ya play however ya want. It’s like when you’re at the family reunion, and everyone’s doin’ their own thing, but it’s all part of the fun.
Now, if you’re thinkin’ about the system requirements, well, the good folks at Ubisoft recommended somethin’ like a GeForce GTX 1060 for a good experience. But I’m here to tell ya, if you got a PS5, you’re already set. No need for fancy PC gear or a high-end graphics card. Just pop that disc in, and away you go. It’s easy, like pie.
To wrap it up, I’d say Watch Dogs 2 on PS5 is a real treat, even if it’s not perfect all the time. The graphics are gorgeous, the gameplay is fun, and there’s a whole lot to explore in the city. Just remember, sometimes it’ll run smooth as silk, and other times it might dip a little. But don’t let that stop ya—give it a shot. You won’t be sorry.
