10 Video Games That Were Too Good To Be True

10. Watch Dogs

As a concept, Watch Dogs is one of the most unique and exciting in recent memory, with the techno-thriller providing an interesting story that grappled with ideas surrounding the proliferation of technology and Orwellian concepts of an all-seeing surveillance state. However, in execution, the game failed to deliver on the experience fans were anticipating based on pre-release information.

With so many analogous features to Grand Theft Auto V released the year prior, Watch Dogs was always going to be compared to Rockstar's premier franchise, and both the game's driving and shooting mechanics were made to look dated on release when compared to their main competitor.

Another issue relating to the game is that the graphics were significantly worse than the game's marketing footage had depicted and that missions had a tendency to be repetitive to a frustrating degree. All in all, Watch Dogs wasn't as critically derided as some of the other experiences on this list, but deserves a mention for how the finished game played compared to what it could have been.
