When I got sent a copy of Watch Dogs 2 for PS4 by Ubisoft, I was initially worried I wouldn't have much to say about it. Now that I've completed it, it might actually be one of my biggest surprises of 2016.

With the wealth of options a modern Deus Ex game offers and the absurdity of this year's Hitman (along with some surprising takes on the nature of technology and identity politics), Watch Dogs 2 is deeper than anyone could have expected.
