Regardless whether you are a hardcore gamer or just a casual user who likes to play video games every once in awhile, you have surely heard about the popular game called Watchdogs. In case you haven’t, the game revolves around a revenge-seeking hacker named Aiden Pearce who uses his advanced hacking skills to avenge the death of his niece. The game is rather unique as it incorporates some interesting mechanics allowing the player to hack different technology around the city of Chicago and use it to advance with the game. For instance, you can hijack cars, remotely control streetlights or hack into security systems to achieve your goal. Overall, it is an action-oriented game but it also requires some thinking and planning if you are to have success at completing it.
