Watch Dogs walkthrough: all missions, hacking and access code guide
Ubisoft's open-world crime thriller is finally here and it's huge. We've broken down each mission so you can hack, sneak and kill your way through a virtual Chicago.
The verdict on Watch Dogs is that it's a great new franchise from Ubisoft for both current-gen and next-gen consoles.
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal the game follows hacker Aiden Pierce as he seeks revenge for the death of his niece by combating and exploring Chicago and its Central Operating System, a supercomputer that's being exploited by criminal gangs. Making use of stealth, parkour, hacking, driving and combat, the open-world game is one of publisher Ubisoft's multi-million dollar projects and has been built for multiple formats including PS4, Xbox One and PC, as well as PS3 and Xbox 360.
You can see how well it runs on PC and PlayStation 4 here, and also check out the first of Dave's review journals here.
This is our full walkthrough, and as we continue to explore the city of Chicago we'll update the mission guides throughout the week, so keep checking back. In the meantime, get stuck into Act 1 of the game.
