15 Payback Single Player Classics That Hit Harder Than Nostalgia

Watch_Dogs

At first glance, it might seem that Watch_Dogs is about hacking. In spirit, it’s about the tragic loss of your niece Lena’s death. Aiden Pearce’s journey through Chicago takes the player through one tech fueled espionage after another, but the undercurrent of that loss remains constant through quiet moments sprinkled between high-stakes missions. Of course, the revenge tale might not be as connected in terms of gameplay mechanics as other entries on this list – but Watch_Dogs is certainly one of the more powerful stories in recent times.
