DedSec love skulls, loud colours, dithering, 50s horror movie posters, emojis, and trollface memes. Some find it cringe, as I’m told the kids say, but I think it’s fun camp. They’re wacky outcast kids (the best of whom always wears a studded leather face mask with an LED display for animated emoticon eyes) having fun while fighting The Man from their cool secret clubhouse beneath a board game shop. And having spent time in hackspaces, I do find parts of Watch Dogs 2 more grounded in reality than many might assume.

Watch Dogs 2 is still an Ubisoft open-world game. It is too long and far too repetitive, with too little tension across the storyline. But I’m enjoyed how I’ve been playing it, dipping in and out across two months, taking breaks long enough to largely forget that I’ve already done this mission seven times. It is an Ubisoft open-world game but it has a fun group of friends and some good silliness, and that counts for a lot. Really could do with a bicycle, though.
Watch Dogs 2 is available through Game Pass now, on PC, console, and cloud. Or you, like me, might well have already picked up a free copy or two during giveaways over the years then forgotten about it (check your Ubisoft Connect and Epic Games Store accounts).
As Graham already noted,Inside is coming to Game Passnext week. That’s a good’un.
