HONOURABLE MENTIONS

Saints Row IV

You may be a superpowered US President in this silly sandbox, but you still have to hack into shops for new gear.

Ratchet & Clank

Insomniac’s Trespasser hacking puzzles aren’t Ratchet’s best feature. Still, solve’em all (sans assistance) for a trophy.

Dead Space

Issac’s life sucks. When he’s not lopping off Necromorph limbs, he’s hacking electrical engineering interfaces.
