It was around ten hours before I even touched the marksmanship skill tree, relying almost solely on gadgets, hacking, stealth, and upgrading my botnet hacking capacity so I could hack more without needing to grab a recharge from passers-by.įlying around in your drone, using the “hacknet” (basically detective vision from the Batman: Arkham series) to tag every enemy, stealing their passwords to allow entry to buildings, it’s so rewarding. It shouldn’t work, but being able to actually move traffic in an open world game is just ridiculously good.Ī lot of the abilities are unlocked through a skill tree, which lets you spec your character out and play the way you want. An instant tap of L1 (on PS4) will automatically activate the most commonly used hack on whatever you are targeting, while a long press will let you pick from four hacking options.ĭriving along and hitting L1 to make a car screech out of the way and careen into a wall never gets old, nor does it stop making you chuckle each time.

Hacking everything is the name of the game, of course, and it’s terrific fun. This is a remarkably inclusive game, and while it’s a shame that in this day and age it even needs mentioning, it’s nice to say “well done” to Ubisoft on this one.

Some of it feels directly aimed at gamers and critics, with snarky comments about reviewers, and Marcus himself mentioning how it’s nice to meet a fellow hacker who’s black. There’s a heavy amount of social commentary at times, but it feels odd that it’s within such an expensive game made by… well, a huge corporation. Politicians are using our data to lie to us, and to sell us to other companies. The plot revolves around evil corporations – Google has become Nudle, and your in-game smartphone even uses Nudle Maps.
