I never like this question as the breadth of measures and variables is so large, so it sort of depends.

If you're talking about sales then games like Wolfenstein, which were fantastic, but undersold.

If you're talking about review scores then you'd be looking at things like Dark Dreams Don't Die, Destiny, Drive Club, Destiny and Watch Dogs.

If you're talking about reviw scores relative to the degree of marketing and hype, that really is less of a debate, and the frontrunners are Drive Club, Destiny and Watch Dogs. Fortunately for the publishers those three games will all wind up selling well when the dust settles - but the franchises will not last long if something significant isn't done to bring them up to scratch in the second iteration.

fixed it for you

As for your mention of DriveClub in your third paragraph, it wasn't hyped close to as much as either Destiny or WD, yet it performed about as well (In the review score department), so I don't see how that is a frontrunner.

This is a very subjective argument to get into, so I wont. But given it launched to one platform, Driveclub was very heavily promoted consistently for 18 months or more by Sony. On forums, a Forza vs Driveclub mindset was put forward quite regularly (by both fanbases), with the latter ultimately not living up to the quality of the former. It also scored meaningfully (though perhaps not substantially) below the other two titles you just referenced.
