So, having worked in London for years, I was amazed to take a stroll around King's Cross station and find that everything was exactly where it should be! This is a pretty faithful reproduction of London I reckon.....well worth a play just for that alone. It is a grittier and less upbeat game than Watchdogs 2 (also a great game).....perhaps a bit of an amalgam of 1 &2 in feel but with a much improved tech tree and gameplay style. Maybe it is missing a bit of the Cockney humour and the music seems to have missed the mark a bit ( there is a pretty extensive British music catalogue) but I really love the game. The recruitment system is great but this may a disadvantage for people who like more engagement with the character (as in Watchdogs 2) but it shouldn't put you off the game! I wouldn't mind a more GTA style radio station as well but with a British twist! but all in all, a very good game with lots and lots to do! Go give 'em a good hiding Dedsec!

If you like a game that grows in stature as you play it....has characters that you can get to know, a fantastic story line with a life of it’s own, full of unexpected vignettes that don’t necessarily drive the player forward but are delightful and participant to the whole, then play this. If you play it, take it at Arthur’s pace, real slow, and savour the tale with all it’s foibles, good and bad and play it out as it suits you and then play it again as it doesn’t.....maybe. Don’t forget to say ‘hello mister’ .....,,or just shoot ‘em plumb dead!
