Watch Dogs: Bad Blood

Don't get Watch Dogs: Bad Blood for T-Bone's mediocre adventure, get it for the much more interesting and free-form Street Sweeps. If only those were available separately, they'd be a no-brainer purchase for getting more out of what I loved about Watch Dogs, but with T-Bone and Tobias in tow, it's a little tougher to recommend as a full package.

Bad Blood is more of the same solid Watch Dogs gameplay in a compact five to six hour experience. The campaign is fun and it features a more interesting main lead than Aiden Pierce. New gameplay elements like gun-mounted surveillance cameras (yes, you read that right), the RC car, and online co-op are cool additions and should keep fans happy until the next slice of DLC or upcoming sequel.

While T-Bone doesn’t do too much to differentiate himself from Aiden Pearce, Bad Blood provides a few interesting twists to the core gameplay and some memorable moments along the way. With a great new set of story missions lasting several hours long, and the addition of co-op play, it’s worth picking up despite some repetitive side content.

There's no doubt that T-Bone makes a much more interesting lead than Aiden Pearce, but Bad Blood's gameplay fails to reflect the swap. Fortunately, though, the combination of sneaking, hacking, and shooting feels just as cohesive and enjoyable as it did in the main game. If you could do with more Watch Dogs, you'll have a rocking good time with this continuation – but don't expect any deviations from the original title's solid but predictable template.

Just as Watch Dogs and Bad Blood feature an amalgamation of Ubisoft game designs, this add-on is also an unsurprising compilation of mission types taken from the full game. ...Bad Blood introduces new mechanics that fit snugly within an already fully-featured world. It's these qualities that make Bad Blood an essential purchase for Watch Dogs fans.

Ubisoft da continuidad a la acción de Watch Dogs con una expansión que merece la pena disfrutar debido especialmente a la adición de un modo cooperativo para dos jugadores. Unas 5 horas de juego adicionales en compañía de T-Bone y ciertas novedades menores terminan de conformar este paquete DLC.
