WATCH this game crash again DOGS
Before I talk about the game I have to talk about why it is a 1 star. This might be specific to XBOX. The game runs on only autosaves(!), which BREAK if you suspend the game, leave the "App", play without closing out of the app completely!

So my first experience was playing 10 hours not realising that NOTHING WAS SAVED when it crashed to home! I looked it up and saw it was a known issue from when it came out and SIX YEARS LATER was still broken?!?!
Also, most times I launched the game (which again, I have to do EVERY time I play) it would crash to home. I would just have to launch the game multiple times until it would actually load to the main menu. I have never played anything on Xbox so... broken!
Anyway, 1 star! Now onto the game...
It would probably be a 2 or 3-star experience. It is very redundant. You revisit the same locations 100s of times literally! Also the mission types feel more same-y than most open-world games and for a Watch Dogs especially so.
The "be anyone, recruit anyone" idea is interesting but the game is so broad in scope and LONG so it ends up being too diluted and dull. There is a lot of like but they needed a more focused story and adventure to highlight all the cool stuff.
I still would want another Watch Dogs and I am not even against using this system again but they really need to figure out how to prevent how diluted and dull everything gets.
