10 Amazing Video Game Series That Should Never Go Open World

SPLINTER CELL

As a Ubisoft franchise, Splinter Cell lives under constant threat of being turned into an open world series (if Ubisoft ever decides to make another new entry, that is), and while an open world stealth game is certainly not the most alien idea, that might not be what most people want to see from Splinter Cell. This is a series that has always been laser-focused on its set of stealth mechanics, with levels that are handcrafted around the idea of getting the best out of those mechanics. Is that doable in an open world setting? Sure. But there’s a good chance that it would lose a lot of the focus that Splinter Cell is known for.
