How many games can you identify just from a screenshot of their open world?

Of all the digital wonders in gaming, I think it's still hard to beat an open world. Sure, pitches like "You see that mountain? You can go there!" have become cliché over the years, but there's still nothing quite as breathtaking as a beautiful landscape stretching out to the horizon that's just waiting for you to explore it.

And when one really captures your imagination, you can end up spending tens or even hundreds of hours travelling its roads and digging around in its every corner. A great open world draws you in and doesn't let you go until you've seen everything there is to see.

It's not as easy as you might think. Without the main character swaggering about in the middle of the screenshot, some of these worlds can be tricky to identify. And there's a time limit, of course—you've only got four minutes to get all 15.
