    Fun, but way too short the storyline can be completed in about 4 hours, and while you can run around finding all the collectibles (ugh!) for 8 hours, what's the point if the attachments they unlock become obsolete 2 hours into the story when you are given a superweapon with unlimited ammo?

    Perhaps the best change that's been made since Far Cry 3 is the removal of tedious crafting and the constant need to run to a trader to sell your collection of miscellaneous junk, although the 2-second looting animation still remains. Your character's ability to sprint indefinitely, jump high enough to perform death from above takedowns on enemies standing right next to him, survive any fall and stay underwater indefinitely are also vast improvements over FC3.

    The writing is awful in an excellent way, I especially enjoyed the perfect deadpan of your unlikely ally/mount toward the end of the game.    … Expand

    A fun expansion that's worth the money. But when it comes down to it, the lack of exploration and relativity short length hurts it in the long run. If you love Far Cry 3 youll enjoy this game. Its funny and entertaining, but its game play is nothing special.

    Even though the game is one big joke it a very good fps nonetheless. The references from the 80's are spot on and it is a load of fun. The secondary missions get repetitives after a while but the game ended before I was overfed. Overall it is a very good game with modern gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has WORST GAME SAVING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. You can't save a game during a mission, and when you try to do so, it brings you an error that "you cant save game during a mission, the game will be saved automically when you reach the checkpoint". I am at the dam level, and reached a lot of checkpoints, and reached the scientist. I have leaved the game here, and guess what? When i launched the game again, i had to do the whole mission again! The game is very nice, has nice graphics and is a good recreation of a '80 film, but this bug doesn't let me play the game normally, thats why i gave it a 5.… Expand

    B-Game that crams as many references in audio, dialog and visual as it can from famous 1980's films, such as RoboCop, The Terminator, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. These are just a few of the many. There is no story, and that's fine, that's what it was made to be, something so stupid and ridiculous you can't help but laugh. However as fun as this may all seem it ends almost as soon as it begins.

    The first thing you're going to notice is how fast you run and never get tired, add that with how shockingly small the map is there is no need for auto/fast travel. You will never take any fall damage and it is almost impossible to die, even on Hard. While the cyber vision is a cool feature you will never use it making it worthless. It claims to help point out enemies, but every single enemy is drastically highlighted in a neon cloud before you even see the enemy itself, in fact, everything but the grass and trees are covered in neon lights. The A.I. is borderline non-existent, a liner script of walk to point A to point B and shoot the player. The side-missions only add an illusion of a sandbox game. There are only two types, Hostage Rescue and Hunt. The fort capture adds more to that illusion. There's also T.V. sets and V.H.S. tapes to find around the map to complete the illusion of a sand box game. Yet if it wanted to be a sand box, it would be much larger and would not have every single item, animal, base and enemy on your map.

    There are two types of enemies you're going to run into. Animals, and Androids. The models are the exact same for the androids except for some very minor change to look like a different class. The animals can be said the same for their type. The weapons again are made on references to films, while there are upgrades for half of the weapons, they are worthless and do not help in any manner.

    The gameplay is the now required linear go to point A, shoot and blow up, rinse, repeat. The story itself (ignoring the side missions, bases, etc.) will be completed in under an hour, and because the weapons are so powerful and no skill at all is required to play any part of this game you may even do it in under 45 minutes. Adding in the other things, you might get about 2 4 hours out of it. All in all, if you want to relive an '80's experience, are a fan of Michael Biehn, or want to laugh at pure stupidity then this is it, but for $15 it's not worth it, maybe for $10 or $5    … Expand

    The game is almost identical with Far Cry 3. Gameplay is the same except of the skill tree and the animals and characters have just been rebranded to look 'futuristic', which they really don't. The only difference in terms of new enemies/characters are the blood dragons. However Far Cry: Blood Dragon is a game where the developers kinda just left when the game wasn't done. Under detailed enviroments and similarity is one of the most worst things of the game. All the quests seem much similar, way more than in Far Cry 3.

    The game however does have its charm with all the its jokes that kinda made me laugh in the start, but just became lame after a while.

    I'd give this a 5 out of 10, because the game would offer a lot of fun to players which haven't experienced Far Cry 3 and just want to get a little nip of it, without cashing too much out.    … Expand

    Unplayable bad lag on a computer than can run Far Cry 3 on high-ultra. Don't know if it's a problem with my graphics card or lazy coding but at this stage I should be able to get above 10 FPS on the lowest settings.

    Was really looking forward to this game and I can't be sure if it's the dev's fault so I'll leave it at a five.

The weapons are bit crap too, as the minigun is so much better than the other weapons that I rarely used anything else.

    Blood Dragon is an interesting off-shoot of the Far Cry franchise. It seeks to fit every 80's cyber punk cliche into one game and it succeeds.

However, that's about all it has going for it that Far Cry 3 didn't already do better. The game is much more shallow than the original. The skill tree is fixed and you have no say in what unlocks next. half of the upgrades are simple health upgrades as well. You unlock attachments by completing missions and then you need to go purchase them at a shop, but it's really not all that worth since you get the best weapon in the game after 3-4 hours of gameplay. The story is full of cliches to make you laugh but it isn't interesting at all. The cutscenes are bad and you have no idea what you're doing in missions other than killing enemies. The worst part is how laughably short the game is. Even for a $15 title, a 4 hour story is quite bad. I even went through and liberated every camp, found every secret, and obtained every achievement and my game time didn't pass 7 hours. It should also be noted that this game requires the Uplay client even if the game is purchased on Steam. Uplay is slow, but I've never had a huge problem with it. Overall, Blood Dragon is an enjoyable game but simply doesn't live up to the standard set by Far Cry 3.… Expand

    But what about the gameplay?

    Well it's dull. The hardest difficulty truly is laughably easy for even the most casual FPS gamer and the main campaign can be completed in a couple of hours. This lack of content is filled by an "open-world" approach. Unfortunately this open world is distinguished by repetitive terrain (exposed hills, windy roads, water) with repetitive side missions (2 types- save hostage or kill animal) and repetitive enemies (6 types; blood dragon cyborg with either pistol, submachine gun, minigun, flamer, or molotov) on an unimaginative map (island with 4 identical sectors). Supposedly adding more depth to this is a collectible system where those with a completionist streak must wander the landscape one-shotting animals, and picking up TVs, notepads, VHS tapes etc. Collectibles and side mission will grant you access to weapon upgrades which will increase their power. These enhancements are superfluous for progressing the main story and entirely unnecessary for it's completion in the late stage- I'm avoiding the use of spoilers here but I mean "unnecessary" in the most literal sense possible. Finally if you thought the final boss in Aliens: Colonial Marines was an epic disappointment then you'll be even more surprised by this one!

    Essentially this game plays like an ambitious mod by a small team. But such mods are meant as fun, and temporary, distractions from a bigger game. If you are looking for such a distraction, and are intrigued by the setting, then you may find Blood Dragon worthwhile for a few dollars on sale- just do not expect to find a complete and engrossing game. Personally, however, I believe better value can be found from among Steam's Indie selections.    … Expand

    I dont like the green alien nature of this game. However, there is something about ii that makes some aspects better than plain Far Cry. Perhaps it is the AI - seems a little more intelligent. But I hate the dragons. And the aggressive animals are not enjoyable at least in Far Cry you felt like you were hunting them for fun. In this game they just make a difficult situation irritating.

    I am about to put this game away because I dont want to repeat same levels again - there is no doubt this is the worst feature of this game, I hope this and the lack of openness are dealt with in future releases then I will become a fan!

Poczucie humoru i dystans twórców są zdecydowanymi atutami tej produkcji - udało im się stworzyć to, czego wcześniej brakowało tytułom takim jak chociażby Duke Nukem Forever. Z minusów warto wymienić ciemną stylistykę całej gry - chwilami miałem bowiem ochotę zobaczyć błękitne niebo i odjechać w stronę zachodzącego słońca… którego niestety nie widać, bo cały czas jest tak cholernie ciemno! ;-) Wszystkie lokacje wydają się również podobne do siebie - jednak przy takiej ilości zabawnych sytuacji, dialogów, czy chociażby komentarzy głównego bohatera schodzi to na dalszy plan. Przejście głównego wątku fabularnego zajęło mi około 4 godzin, jednak jeśli ktoś chciałby wykonać wszystkie misje poboczne, to czas spędzony z grą wydłuży się praktycznie dwukrotnie - co biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że jest to tylko dodatek jest dobrym wynikiem. Powiem więc tak - Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon jest grą zdecydowanie wartą uwagi, na co więc czekacie? Świat czeka na ratunek! ^^

    Plusy:
    + ogólny klimat
    + zabawne dialogi i cut-scenki
    + czysta frajda płynąca z rozgrywki
    + nawiązania do klasyki kina science fiction
    + dinozaury strzelające laserami! ;-)

    Minusy:
    – nie każdemu te klimaty przypadną do gustu
    – mało zmian w stosunku do oryginału
    – krótki główny wątek fabularny
    – zbyt ciemna stylistyka otoczenia

    Retro. Large scanlines that look quite bad in my opinion. Thankfully there is a 3rd party tweak to remove them.

    The storyline is really short and there's no indication it's as short as it is. It doesn't really take you through the whole map even. So you have to go around and somewhat aimlessly complete the map yourself before completing the storyline. The weapons weren't fun to use.    Retro. Large scanlines that look quite bad in my opinion.

    The weapons weren't fun to use. After upgrading them they were ok. But I unknowingly/accidentally finished the short campaign first, and thus had nothing to do with my upgraded weapons.    … Expand

    "It would be disrespectful to the developers to rate this title anything but 7/10"
    No, it is not better than the original Far Cry 3. The thing is it doesn't even try to a better game. Damn, it doesn't even want to be a great game. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon ended up to be exactly what it tried to be: a quick, silly, caricature, parodic but full of fun game.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon ended up to be exactly what it tried to be: a quick, silly, caricature, parodic but full of fun game. This game doesn't try to be immersive or teach you a lesson - on the contrary it reminds you you are playing a video game every time it has a chance to. It is as though it says "Relax. Turn off your mind and have fun. I will take care of everything else." Because FC3:BD is actually a parody of movies from 80's and is a parody of videogames as a whole the ceiling it set for itself is pretty low from the very beginning. You can't create a strong, coherent, deep, moving story when your goal is to create a parody but on the other side you can create a quite funny and action-packed story. That's exactly what Ubisoft did with Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. The gameplay is full of action and shooting and all sorts of explosions. The dialogues are funny thanks to the constant self awareness and self irony of the characters and the caricature nature of the game but the story... That's where the parodic nature of the title shows its flaws: it is hard being a good story while at the same time you are trying to exaggerate and make fun of other plot's flaws. For me the story wasn't consistent or coherent. I remember different missions but don't remember exactly how they all came together, what unites them, how one was necessary for the other, etc. The end also doesn't make much sense to me and the whole ending feels abrupt. Overall it feels like the story in Blood Dragon exists only as a reason to give the player a reason to headshot cyber soldiers, fight dragons and yeah, save the world.

    We could get a great videogame but in the end all we got is a promising game in the begining but which got crippled by the idea of not getting itself too seriously. Yes, Blood Dragon is a mediocre game but it is exactly what it wanted and intended to be. Anyway, it will be hard for you to find a better mediocre game ;)    … Expand

    Лично для меня, игра ощущается так же, как и оригинальная 3-я часть. Естественно оценка была бы выше, если бы я прочувствовал всю "ностальгию", которая заложена в игру. Но так вышло, что я, то время помню очень смутно =)

    Although it wasn't meant to be taken seriously, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a surprisingly good game.

    It's Far Cry 3 dressed as trashily as you can imagine; the joke only goes so far, but it's definitely fun to play. [July 2013, p.90]

    Like wandering through a theme park dedicated to the excess of 80s blockbuster entertainment, Blood Dragon takes Far Cry’s proven gameplay formula and adds humour, a new coat of paint and a script free from qualms of narrative dissonance.
