Another hyped Ubisoft release that disappointed, Watch_Dogs had you play as an uninteresting hacker archetype who is given the tools to hack anything electronic in a near-future version of Chicago. Putting us in the shoes of a cyberpunk revolutionary would have been an interesting move if said shoes didn't keep falling through the floor as a result of physics bugs. Still, the game sold well, thanks in part to a misleading E3 demo, a marketing budget roughly the size of Bermuda's GDP, and being ported to basically every platform.
