Watch Dogs, the first one specifically. I know Ubisoft has had a pretty bad track record, especially in recent years, but I’ve played through that game a bunch of times and always had a good time with it. Even in its worse parts its still dumb fun.

The story honestly aged really well too for better or worse with how tech companies and governments are mingling now.

    I didn't like that game for the most part, but for reasons I find difficult to explain, I really enjoyed that minigame with the robot spider.

    that's from WD2, the first game was way more grounded.

    It was definitely the first. I don't own and have never played the sequel. They called them "digital trips" or something like that. It was supposed to be like an in-universe computer game, I think? There wasn't a lot to it--you piloted this tank thing and had to clear a level, by jumping around and sometimes killing some enemies until you reached a checkpoint, in a certain brief time limit. But I found it kinda weirdly compelling.

    I played the first one for a while and enjoyed it, don't really remember if there was a specific reason I put it down. I didn't realize a lot of people had beef with it. I remember that the driving mechanics were clunky as hell after playing things like GTA or Mafia, but other than that it seemed like a pretty cool game.

    Can it be played on Steam Deck without much tinkering? I've always wanted to give it a try.
