Console Obsession says: "Having not played the original game, it is difficult for me to draw comparisons, though based on what I have read about Watch Dogs 2's predecessor, the sequel has improved greatly in certain areas, especially when it comes to the main protagonist. Veering away from being overly dark and broody, the overall tone of Watch Dogs 2 is much more jovial, introducing fun characters, a bright and colourful environment, and new stealth tactics that allow you to have a lot of reckless fun and cause as much chaos as you would like. This lighthearted approach to the sequel is very welcome, as having an open world game where you aren't allowed to have the freedom to do what you want and mess around with the mechanics at your disposal could lead to a rather tedious experience, though thankfully that was far from the case here."

I think Cyberpunk is close in gameplay. Sure it's a futuristic setting but I find alot of similarities with the two games.
