10 Best Open-World Video Games Of 2015

6. Assassin's Creed: Syndicate

Speaking of Asssassin's Creed and zombies, the franchise is currently moaning for help on its own deathbed, as although Syndicate was a solid return to form, it's highly unlikely you can get the mainstream populace back onboard following the shotgun blast to the gut that was AC: Unity. Regardless, Ubisoft put the time in and released something that had its faces intact, taking the once-landmark series to Victorian London. Thanks to the AC-standard attention to historical detail, that then means you get everything from chimney sweeping worker-children to the fur inside Buckingham Palace's Beefeater guards on prime display. Mission points are scattered across the city, and on the way between them you'll dart off to clear out warehouses of guards, free prisoners, go underground to find an old artefacts, or just do a spot of sight-seeing, as the entire city has been nigh-on perfectly mapped out.
