20 Most Underrated Open-World Video Games Of The Decade (So Far)

6. Assassin's Creed: Syndicate

Already it's beginning to feel as though Assassin's Creed was a distant memory, but right after AC: Unity made the entire western hemisphere scream "F-this!", Syndicate delivered a far more solid stealth experience. It just so happened nobody cared.

Still, being set in Victorian London and letting you alternate between twins Jacob and Evie Frye, Ubisoft finally upgraded the core mechanics of the game, giving you a 'threat ring' indicator for encroaching enemies, and a one-button 'stealth mode' toggle, so you could begin slinking around with more confidence.

Gorgeous graphics and the best recreation of Ol' Blighty's capital seen in video games to date, if any part of you has mellowed since The Great Facial Glitch Of 2014, Syndicate provides a playground that's a blast to explore.
