I would have like Watch Dogs more if there was some sort of magical element to the story. Because what that character could do was basically magic.

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 with how tech companies and governments are mingling now.

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?

Dont forget you can check ProtonDB and see how users have found it on the Steam Deck! The site is a great resource for checking in advance:

It says it’s playable with it on the Steam page so probably. I’m not sure if Ubisoft made it extra janky with something like Ubisoft Connect though.

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.
