Check out our full written Watch Dogs review.

Who watches the Watch Dogs? You do. And if you don’t, then you should. The game is out on May 27 (aka tomorrow), and you should know what you’re getting into if you’re considering giving Ubisoft’s latest open world extravaganza a spin.

This video tour of Watch Dogs‘ Chicago from the YouTubers at PlayStation Access started making the rounds at the tail end of last week. The near-future Windy City rendered in the game is a busy place, one that’s packed with stuff to do (two words: spider-tank). We can’t go into our impressions yet, but we can probably get away with telling you that there’s going to be plenty of talk in the review about this open world.

You can get a taste of it here. And stay tuned for plenty more Watch Dogs coverage this week.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot admitted that Ghost Recon Breakpoint had its fair share of issues, which resulted in delayed release dates for three games.

In an earnings call and a statement, Guillemot lamented the disappointing reception for Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Our review of the Ghost Recon Wildlands follow-up found that while gunplay was snappy and the story was engaging, the shooter was dragged down by the bugs that plagued it, as well as a microtransactions system that felt out of place in a game that values exploration and discovery.
