Watch Dogs 2 is out today on PC, though it’s been out for a couple of weeks on consoles. While critics and players alike are lauding it as a far better game than its forbear, we thought we’d spend a little time today talking about the game’s multiplayer – a seamless online experience that an MMO gamer might find enticing.

– The Adventure Begins

Entirely unintentional as I tried to discover how to turn my HUD on, I’d only be in Daggerfall for 60 seconds and already had a bounty on my head.
