    Story is dry and uninteresting. Ajay comes to Kyrat to return his mother's ashes, gets assaulted by Pagan's army and suddenly decide to work for some group he didn't even know about. It is not fun solving problems of arrogant Amita and Sabal. It is just busywork. There are no interesting characters other than Pagan. I can't even remember their names.

    Even though gameplay is same as 3 there are many lacking features.

    Hold E to interact still exist.

    Missions, just like in 2 gets repetitive. It feels like you are doing side mission not main mission. Out of ten only three missions are interesting. Himalaya missions on the other hand are very interesting, exciting and fun. There should have been more Himalaya missions.

    You can only modify certain weapons in certain ways **** is not fixed.

    Radio towers still exist and it is still boring.

    Too much collectibles and side missions. You get overwhelmed by them. There was fine balance in 3. Also these side mission givers stays in your house and keep talking and talking and talking until you do their missions. You can't shoot them or silent them in any way.

    Some 2 features like sleeping and convoys, finally being able to shoot from vehicles, gyrocopter, grappling hook are great additions.

    Atmosphere is fine but generally boring.    … Expand

    Solid open world, cities and mountains to explore. The scenery in the game looks decent
    but not the best we've ever seen. The story was rather boring, but adding Pagan Min as a
    villian in the game spiced it up a lot. Good game can recommend just a tiny bit.

    My first Far Cry game...I might try FC3 next for (what sounds like) a better environment and story...but I was looking for a stripped-down, gameplay-focused Fallout or Borderlands, and that's what I got: shooting some guns at a lot of nameless "bad guys" (while progressing at some set goals)
    Overall: 7/10

    Overall: 7/10
    Progress: 100%
    Time: ~75 hrs (a lot of extra time from exploding stuff and chasing down loot chests unnecessarily)

    Gameplay: 7.5/10 (my gameplay style was very stealth-focused, which felt great, though slow)
    - generally felt good, especially grenade launching everything while driving
    - cars, takedowns, and AI were somewhat buggy, so I just had to accept it after a while by giving AI a wider berth and bringing a heavy "panic" weapon while sniping and stealthing
    - animals were frustratingly aggressive and frequent
    - allowed stealth almost anywhere, but difficulty was below average anyway
    - most side quests and collectibles ended up being a chore and regrettable to 100% complete

    Story (including environment and collectibles): 5/10 *SPOILERS*
    - the choices basically boil down to how much you kill or destroy, not enough to flesh out the only ~5 characters that matter
    - the ending options feel awful, and make me ask what I did everything for, other than the journey and gameplay
    - only the Letters, Journals, and Shangri-La scrolls added to the story, which fleshed out how dirty the setting was in an interesting way, but in hindsight the rest of the side quests and collectibles felt like I wasted my time *END SPOILERS*
    - the setting overall didn't feel like it had nearly enough depth for the number of locations visited and information collected...just underwhelming

    Graphics: 7.5/10
    - people and animals looked good
    - environment was repetitive other than the surrounding mountains and Himalayas, with no place really being awe-inspiring
    Audio: 6/10
    - I don't recall much music or any weight added to fights or the cut scenes by the soundtrack    … Expand

    Alla mia 4° run, dopo anni, questo gioco mi ha stupito nuovamente, sia in positivo che negativo.
    Bisogna assolutamente affermare con assoluta certezza e senza timore di smentita che Ubisoft gli ambienti Open World li sà fare.

    Bisogna assolutamente affermare con assoluta certezza e senza timore di smentita che Ubisoft gli ambienti Open World li sà fare.
    Giocando questo gioco mi sono sentito nel Kyrat, non c'è nulla da fare.
    Le missioni della trama sono belle, anche se avrei preferito più scelta missioni con scelta morale rispetto a quello che ho giocato (alla fine su 30 missioni, le scelte che ho dovuto compiere sono state 5 o 6), le armi varie, anche se alla fine tieni sempre le stesse.
    Inoltre non ci avevo fatto caso prima ma ogni luogo che si visita, se si leggono i vari fogli, ha una propria lore.
    Alcuni luoghi sono collegati tra di loro creando tante piccole storie che rendono il tutto molto interessante.

    Ora la parte dolente:
    Avevo iniziato questo gioco con il malsano intento di finirlo al 100%, esplorando ogni singolo buco e raccogliendo ogni singolo tesoro.
    Bhe, dopo circa 20 ore ho capito che i luoghi erano veramente troppi, portando il tutto a una noia mortale.
    Probabilmente Ubisoft ha usato questo gioco come base per creare Odyssey.
    I luoghi sembrano creati come mangime per galline.    … Expand

    А good game relative to the entire franchise. it is a facet of far cry, which we all loved, and the far cry that makes you not get off the game for the purposes of grinding

    Very boring. But the gameplay and plot are pretty good. I was expecting more.

    It lacked the soul Far Cry 3 had. The whole characters even the main villain were not as good.
    But the game overall was still enjoyable tho. I remember just getting bored after the main storyline was done.

    Review só pra lembrar a nota que dei pro jogo:
    Em comparação ao seu antecessor Far Cry 4, faz mais do mesmo, o vilão é tão memorável quando Vaas e aparece por mais tempo, porém os personagens do caminho dourado são fracos e seus objetivos são preto ou branco, em questão de jogabilidade é o mesmo que Far Cry 3 então não tem muito o que falar, liberar torres de rádio e campos inimigos.

    It's like Far Cry 3 but better graphics. In my opinion, I don't care story on Far Cry games anymore.

    If you are fine with playing same game over and over again you can definitly enjoy this one too... But mc just feels non existent and villain feels weak too. Gameplay is awesome don't get me wrong but def 3>4

    Całkiem spoko historia, która kładzie nacisk na poważne problemy świata. W serii Far Cry najbardziej podoba mi się mechanika walki oraz lokacje jakie można zwiedzić. W tej części nie zawiodłem się na tym elemencie. Interesujący antagonista oraz fajny motyw Kyratu.

    Far Cry 4 takes the best bits of Far Cry 3, puts a new spin on them and drops its troubling racial politics and constrained mission design. The story and characters a bit more lightweight, but the core remains the same. Overall, this is a leaner, meaner Ubi-style open world experience and the best iteration on the franchise.

    The PC version of Far Cry 4 suffers of some optimization issues, but is still the best looking and performing one.

    With Far Cry 4 you get what you loved in Far Cry 3 - improved and with some innovations. Playability is great, but it will force you to think of the state of the game industry and everlasting urge of producers to cannibalize their own titles. [Issue#248]
