I know what you’re thinking. Watch Dogs? Horror? Yeah right, Adam, you stupid bastard. But before you pick up your pitchforks and light your torches, allow me a few paragraphs to explain myself. By the way, what is this, the 1600s? Who uses pitchforks anymore?
For the most part, Watch Dogs is Grand Theft Auto mixed with a liberal helping of Refn’s Drive. It’s a solid action-packed open world game that lets you do pretty much whatever you want, including using your smooth hackery to track down a creepy ass serial killer who’s roaming the streets of Chicago, murdering people and leaving their bodies in eerie, remote locations. And did I mention the blood markings? Yeah, there are those too.
There are six bodies Aiden will need to find, scattered about the city’s most isolated locales, from lighthouses to abandoned trains cars. Once they’ve all been found, a super secret — okay, not that secret — bonus mission will unlock that lets you take this psychopath down.
It’s an incredibly small piece of an otherwise massive game that has no real ties to our favorite genre, but it stood out to me so I thought I’d mention it.
Oh, and you’ll find these missions by hunting down the missing persons investigation missions (the magnifying glass icons) on the world map. Trust me, they’re worth it.
