    Yes, it is a bit the same as Far Cry 3 but the GTA delivers also every single time the same formula and the GTA stories are really lame. One has to rate the game for its content and how much it is to play rather than to compare it versus previous versions. For example if someone hasn't played Far Cry3 would that person rate Far Cry 4 good or bad...?

    Far Cry 4 is one of those games that give you a living, breathing and engaging world. The story talks about our hero protagonist Agay Ghale, an ex-pat who returns to his parent’s homeland of Kyrat to accomplish his mother’s wishes by scattering her ashes. Ajay’s father was a well-known figure in Kyrat and the family name is considered very important to the locals. Shockingly, he findsFar Cry 4 is one of those games that give you a living, breathing and engaging world. The story talks about our hero protagonist Agay Ghale, an ex-pat who returns to his parent’s homeland of Kyrat to accomplish his mother’s wishes by scattering her ashes. Ajay’s father was a well-known figure in Kyrat and the family name is considered very important to the locals. Shockingly, he finds Kyrat filled with political unrest.

    The village is now led by Pagan Min, A smart and ruthless cold blooded killer. The introduction of Pagan is very strong but sadly he vanishes of screen for a surprisingly long time which causes his character to become weaker and less of a threat when he comes back later in the game. Ajay then joins a rebel group called the Golden Path led by Sabal and Amita to destroy the Regime.

    The first thing you will notice is how impressive the Himalayan nation of Kyrat is, large mountains, beautiful tropical forests, ancient ruins and people living their daily lives. The huge world is intimidating with great little touches in the details that are highly appreciated and I did not notice any loading times throughout the game.

    The character animation is very good and you really do feel the suffering of locals through their expressions. The political stakes are high between the Golden Path leaders Sabal and Amita. Both have solid performances throughout the game. Each of them wants to destroy Pagans Rule but have their own vision of doing it. Both visions are logical but you will have to make a tough decision between the two which will affect the future of Kyrat.

    The 32 missions are interesting and don’t feel repetitive because they vary depending on whose side you chose. The world is filled with activities to do apart from the main story like races, controlling sections, assassinations and hostage missions. You will gradually unlock more side missions the more outposts you control. The more you take over outposts the weaker Pagan’s army becomes and infiltrating them this time around is more fun because each one needs a different strategic approach by either going full force or stealth without anyone seeing you. After you control an outpost, it will become your safe house and you will have access to first travel.

    Liberating radio towers early in the game is important because it unlocks various weapons and will open parts of the map that shows new landmarks and animal locations. The AI is smarter this time around, the enemies will guard their area well and if they lose their outpost, they might return at a later stage and fight back.
    The gun mechanics are solid with a lot of weapons at your disposal.

    Wild life in Kyrak is vast and diverse; some will run away when they see you while others such as the eagles, bears and tigers will attack you if they find an opportunity. Most of the animals are tough and attack surprisingly. One time I was on a mission when all of a sudden a Rhino attacks me from the side, luckily I had a C4 equipped and took him out quickly. You can also use some animals to your advantage to turn the tide of battle in your favor by letting them out of the cage for them to attack or by riding an elephant and destroying everything that crosses your path.

    Hunting wildlife for their skins will be used for crafting all sorts of things such as wallets, loot bags, and explosive bags, while collecting plants will allow you to create syringes. You can also earn karma by performing good tasks for the locals or by killing an animal with your arrow instead of a rocket launcher. This rewards you with experience points to improve your skill.
    Traveling from point to point is fun and there are numerous vehicles that are available; however, some worth noting are the return of the hang glider which allows you to see the beautiful world from above. The wingsuit, a cool suit that is activated after a high jump. My personal favorite was the Buzzer, a small helicopter which you can also use to attack the enemies from above. There are some new mechanics in the game; you can now shoot while driving and the grappling hook that is mainly used for hard to reach places.

    fter you complete Act 1, you will unlock co-op. I found co-op very fun to play because it added to the overall experience. Taking over an outpost with a buddy never felt better.

    Far Cry 4 has a 5 on 5 multiplayer mode. You can either be the Golden Path who are heavily armed or the Rakshasa, a stealth group equipped with a bow and arrow. The multiplayer is well balanced, but I didn’t enjoy it much like other multiplayer games and didn’t find much reason to go back.

    The overall story wasn’t very strong and you most probably won’t remember the main character after you complete the game. The lack of Pagan Min throughout most of the game is a letdown because his character could have done so much more. What truly shines is the fun gameplay and gorgeous, unpredictable world.

    Yes, there are a lot of similarities to Far Cry 3 but this isn’t a bad thing because Far Cry 3 was a good game.

    Far Cry 4 is a significant step forward for the series and worth checking out.    … Expand

    Movies can never be good as video games. Specially first person shooter games.

    I love Far Cry 4, Doom, BioShock, Duke Nukem, Metro 2033, Left 4 Dead, Alien: Isolation.

    the game stays interesting with a new villain and a little improvement of gameplay
    graphic ofc is good as last title and mechanic is solid as well
    while i would enjoy the game for a moment now, i think next far cry needs one more big change to get the series going

    This game makes destiny, watchdogs and most other next-gen games look bad. In my opinion it is a 10 without question. Seeing how people only give 10s 6s and 0s on this site this is most definitely a 10. For a single or co-op exploration shooter you cant ask for more. If you play it on hard its super fun.

    the online is ok

    but like other game show on PS4 the game runs only on 30 fps

    fps need to target 60 frames

    Far Cry 4 (and 3) stand to me as among the most remarkable achievements in the videogame medium. They are beautiful, have great gameplay dynamics and offer non-linearity with true sense of freedom and exploration.

From the simple act of scaling the towers to reveal the map through the gunplay and onto the story, the games excel. Also, the world (Far Cry 4 especially) shows such attention to culture and a multitude of references to the real world locations. Very few games have made me read up on history and culture of real locations, except FC4 and Civilization. FC4 made me read up on the Himalayan cultures, and added Nepal to my list of places to see.

    I was also lucky enough to be able to play it on PC with ultra-settings as well, and it is just stunning to look at. I once posted a screenshot on Facebook – something I never do – and received a ton of likes. It was just a landscape shot, but the sharpness of the art was appreciated by gamers and non-gamers alike. Many had to think twice to see it was a game at all.

    This game is a blast from end to finish, and I cannot recommend it strongly enough. The entertainment value here is incredible, and reminds me why I play video games even as an adult in my 30s: at their best, they off a richness that no other media even comes close to.    … Expand

Only thing I think can be done better is the length And focus of the main story can be done better but then again games with open worlds like far cry has this always ends up one of its lowest or weakest points sometimes so I just hope on next far cry Ubisoft addresses this. Lastly one think I would like to see Ubisoft do more of is DLC, something I feel isn't their biggest strength and that they don't seem to ever have a lot of for any of their games, btw I mean DLC like full expansions basically meaningful DLC that adds to or continues the main story. Which is something that could help make the main story in Far Cry 4 longer and stronger and in fact releasing lots of this type of DLC is what is normally done with with open world type games and something Ubisoft needs to do more of and get better at.

    Lastly I would just like to add that one thing I love about Ubisoft is how they stick to what works when it comes to their games and franchises and that I like since going with something completely diferent and new is not always the best route or what's wanted when it comes to what's best or next for a proven franchise/game. Also I feel Ubisoft has been doing some great things for the most part and has some great franchises and games even while all may not have gone right or perfectly like watchdogs, they still have some of the best games and franchises In the gaming industry and with another new franchise soon to be added and born named Division the future is only looking brighter for Ubisoft and I'm only loving it and loving the direction they have gone, just keep the games coming Ubisoft, as long as you deliver you will always have my money.

    I think what's particularly good about having a protagonist who's really laid back and not outspoken, is that you can put your own characterization on him, and choose whatever you want to do without contradicting the characters morals or motivations. He just wants to spread his mother's ashes. Brilliant. I think they took that concept and fully implemented it into Far Cry 5, but that's another review.    … Expand

    Aside from the Himalayan setting and co-op options (which are admittedly great fun) this is basically the same game as Far Cry 3. There are fewer dull missions this time around and the minor additions, such as new take-down moves, all work to improve the formula however meaning that fans of the series will undoubtedly enjoy this latest addition.

What that means is that is a first person shooter with loads of sidequests, big open world, stealth, random events, hunting, crafting, outpost capturing, and the all pervasive tower climbs to unlock the map.

    Pros:
    -Combination of stealth and action is well done and largely up to the player.
    -Capturing outposts, though repetitive, remains fun. Scouting the enemy, planning your attack, disabling their phones so they can't call for reinforcements, and then deciding to silently kill everybody or just go ham is still as fun as it ever was.
    -The overarching story is decent and Pagan Min, the main villain, is likable. He and the radio dj are responsible for the only good dialogue in the game.

    Cons:
    -Friggin wild dogs and wolves. I can't tell you how many times I've been scouting a group of enemies only for some wild dogs to start attacking me leaving me little choice but to shoot them thereby alerting the enemy of my position and ruining all my work. ALSO EAGLES! The amount of times you are attacked by wild animals in this game is the most annoying part of the game. You can throw bait at them but this doesn't work as well as you want to especially if you are scouting an enemy and have to remain in the area.
    -Random events are so numerous that they cease to add that spark of life and spontaneity to the world and just become a nuisance.
    -The motivations of your character and the characters around you are, at times, non existent. Why do I keep going back to people who constantly drug me and leave me in dangerous situations? Why am I fighting this civil war? Why do the main characters in this fictional indian country have no accent while everybody else does? Along with a whole bunch of other minor parts where the question why comes up again.

    Conclusion: Fun game with many annoyances. None of which are game breaking but they are there. It's a great sandbox world chock-full of stuff to do but so many minor things hold it back from being on the level of red dead or a GTA game.    … Expand

    Fairly similar to Far Cry 3 to be honest, but with better graphics. Both great games so that's no insult.
    I did find the Antagonist in this one was inferior to the one on Far Cry 3, just didn't seem to have much of a presence at all.
    All in all a fun game, especially when you use the bow for most of the game.... every kill is satisfying

    AMAZING game. This is the first Far cry game I ever played and I loved it.

    So much to do, so many places to explore.

    The map was really easy to understand also. Some other games I've played, the map makes no sense at all.

    Fairly easy to plat if you're a trophy hunter. Still LOADS more to do even after you plat.

    Recommended to all if you are stuck on a game to buy!

    Not that this game is not a lot of fun to play and has great graphics and audio but it is a lot like far cry 3 as many others have said.

    This game has pro's and cons like any game i ever played. I do like this story more than FAR CRY 3's which was ruined by that whiny jason brody(I still say his brother grant should have been the main character!)
    but even though it is a better story i still don't think it was all that great of a story, (we know they could do much better. get a famous hollywood movie writer to do the damn story if you have to!)
    But overall FAR CRY 4 is still a great game( i have played much ,much worse!!!) has great feeling weapons,awesome graphics,excellent audio(gun sounds/feel is real good and explosions are great,etc) so i gave it a 8 and just hope that FAR CRY 5 does what it really needs to be a perfect FAR CRY game.
    As for this review i will say what i always say,
    My best advice is for everyone reading this to not take my word for it or anyone elses that reviews a game o but just try it yourself or do what i do and watch some high def gameplay on YT.
    I have found from reading reviews it is basically a waste of time, many times i have loved a game even though the majority said it sucked and of course the opposite has happened as well, i hated the game but it was a best seller and high rated game :/
    It all comes down to your own personal feelings and thoughts about any game because what i like you may not and what i hate you may love?
    That's what makes up each individuals,we can't all like the same exact things thats just the way it is.

Stealth is a very big part of this game and taking over outposts feels more awarding when stealth is used instead of gun blazing. There are also lots of vehicles to drive and as well as a day and night cycle. Hunting is also very useful in this game because you can skin the animals and use there skin to craft things like bigger wallets and gun holders. You can alsp harvest plants and use them to make syringes to heal you or let you see through tress and bushes to make hunting easier. When the player does not feel like doing the story missions, they can do side quests like murdring targets or hunting rare animals. If the player has to get to an objective but does not feel like going around the mountain, they can use the grappling hook to climb it.
    Multiplayer is also very fun and competitive. Players will have to be smart and choose what vehicles to drive or whether or not to ride an elephant to help their team. My favorite feature is the map editor which allows the player to create their own map with their own objective and upload them so other players can try them. I love to look up the highest rated map and play them. I never get bored playing other player's map.
    In conclusion , Far cry 4 is a must have for shooter fans who also like open world games but are tired of GTA V. The Map Editor and Multiplayer is like the icing on the cake for this game because the single player was more than enough for me. Buy Far Cry 4!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 2014 was an off year for gaming. Many high profile new IPs didn't live up to the hype with Watch Dogs and Titanfall disappointing with their lack of great innovation. Destiny fell short for many people as it wasn't the persistent, world building MMO imagined. Many games were dead on arrival due to their broken online components, as was the case with Driveclub and (for some people) Assassin's Creed: Unity. It's been hard to find a game of the year, with no true standout efforts like Grand Theft Auto V or The Last of Us. But Far Cry 4 is the one game of 2014 that has really stood out to me. The story is gripping, the gameplay almost perfect and the world massive and highly lifelike. It feels like a proper next gen effort and has somehow trumped the heights of the truly amazing third game.

    Far Cry has recently become famous for its twisted villains. Vaas was highly memorable and while the second foe of Far Cry 3 wasn't quite as captivating, Hoyt was still a nasty bad guy. This time we get Pagan Min- an extremely charismatic and actually kind of likeable antagonist. He was more interesting than Vaas for me and when you first meet him, he takes a selfie with your character after killing one of his guards viciously with a knife. The opening section is well designed and really sets up how truly crazy this guy can be, but he isn't insane like Vaas and is a generally better character, mostly due to the performance of Troy Baker. While Min vanishes for the few starting hours after his introduction (keeping in contact through radio), when he does show up again he hasn't lost any of his entertaining persona.

    The story is actually a little simple and removes the whole "White Savior" metaphor of FC3. You play as Ajay Ghale- a Kyrati man who returns to his fictional home country to spread the ashes of his recently deceased mother. He grew up in America, but he is still in touch with his religion and his interactions with the inhabitants of Kyrat feel realistic. After escaping Min, he meets two rebel leaders- Sabal and Amita. They have warring ideals and your path through the narrative depends on who you side with during various missions. They are always bickering and I almost wanted to jump ship and side with Pagan, but I understand that this is supposed to happen and the varying missions and different endings add a lot of replay value to the whole experience. I wish there was a New Game Plus option (or even just a New Game option that doesn't remove your old progress), but I felt like I received one of the best endings. It's a much stronger narrative than that of the previous game and this is not only due to the more intriguing characters and themes, but also due to the better mission design. I blew down a tower, used my wingsuit to fly through the Himalayas and jumped from a four wheeler to a plane in the 25 hour run time.

    While the story is great, everyone knows that you play Far Cry for the open ended exploration and the giant, beautiful worlds. Kyrat isn't much larger than the Rook Islands, but it is more detailed and the high mountains, red toned landscapes and areas of snow add a lot of variety and there are hundreds of locations that can be discovered, each holding new secrets and hidden treasures. Of course, the place is dotted with distractions, ranging from hunting and assassination side quests, to propaganda destruction missions and supply runs. The cool radio towers from FC3 also return and they're even more puzzling this time around. The outposts are still the best part of the game though and silently infiltrating a base and killing everyone without raising an alarm is tense and enjoyable for many reasons. New fortresses are also included and they're about four times the size of an easy post and are guarded by traps and snipers. There are four in total and the strategy required to bring them down is cool. If you don't want to progress through the campaign for the best odds, best pick a friend in co-op. This new feature only extends to the side activities and open world distractions, but it feels like a perfect fit for the game and can craft even more memorable moments. Best keep that Share button at the ready!

    Gameplay wise it is pretty similar to Far Cry 3 and the only real new features are a grappling hook, shooting while driving and new types of takedowns. You get the wingsuit almost at the start now as well and new driving controls take a while to get used to, but make moving combat smoother. Shooting is still the best in the business, with every gun feeling great and the levelling, crafting and money systems return but are now much easier to navigate. Grappling makes climbing mountains easier, but you can't use it everywhere. Still it looks very cool!

    Far Cry 4 also includes a big map editor, a competitive horde like arena mode and PVP that casts players across two different sides. All of this is welcome and doesn't feel crammed in, but the massive singleplayer is where it's all at. GOTY'14!    … Expand

    Far Cry 4 offers more of the same liberating fun and a beautiful new landscape in which to have it. The Himalayan setting is gorgeous on the PS4, it is unfortunate however that it's filled with flat characters and mediocre story, and the sense of progression you feel as the protagonist goes from hapless tourist to resourceful warrior is absent this time around.

Мне до выхода данной игры нравилась более всего 3 часть. Единственный недостаток которой я видел лишь в битве с боссами в галлюцинационном мире. Это раздражало немного. В данной - четвёртой части, это отчасти тоже сохранилось. Но благо лишь в одном моменте принудительно. Остальные же путешествия в мир галлюцинаций осуществляются по желанию игрока.

    Теперь ближе к делу. Карта стала больше. И заняться на ней больше чем стало - это разнообразные события (кармы), миссии компании, дополнительные миссии.
    Как всегда, экстравагантный главный злодей. Правда один он такой здесь. Остальные так себе. Но зато его с лихвой хватает.
    В целом, геймплей не изменился. Добавились некоторые нововведения. Кое-что упростили. Что только пошло на пользу. Ведь теперь не приходиться тратить доп.время или выделенную ячейку оружия на что-то стороннее.

    Сюжет как и в 3 части хороший. Но на мой взгляд, все-таки слабее. Введение моральных выборов ему добавило остроты. Игра стала интереснее в каком-то плане. Но вот мотивация ГГ не раскрыта так ярко, как в 3 части. Я бы даже сказал, она вообще не совсем понятна.
    Это то обстоятельство, которое сделало сюжет в данной части слабее третьей. В 3 части герой сначала спасал своих друзей, свою любимую. А потом, проникся чувствами и к предводительнице повстанцев. И здесь были понятны его мотивы. В четвёртой части этого нет. Ведь, по сути, по сюжету главный герой не борется за идею, он не одержим ей. Он приехал для другого. Он не проникся идеей сопротивления. Он даже толком и не понял, что происходит, пытался разобраться. Поэтому, с одной стороны сюжет стал интереснее из-за введения моральных выборов, из-за борьбы, из-за интриг, которые разворачиваются. А с другой, главный герой как бы стоит отдельно от этого. И не понятно что его мотивирует. Отсюда, не понятно его такое ярое стремление помогать именно повстанцам.
    В 3 части личные мотивы ГГ способствовали его вхождению и принятию стороны повстанцев. Они помогали ему, он им. А здесь не совсем понятно, почему он выбрал сторону именно повстанцев. Пейган Мин не показался таким отвратительным. И мне лично он импонировал больше в некоторых моментах, чем предводители повстанцев. Да и оказать помощь в исполнении миссии главного героя он также мог.
    В итоге, Аджай легко мог стать на сторону Пейгана. И на мой взгляд, необходимо было добавить именно данный выбор в начале игры.
    Введение романтической линии, могло бы разрешить проблему мотивации главного героя. Проникся Аджай чувствами к кому-то из повстанцев-женщин (Амите, например, или другой героине, которую можно было бы ввести, например, еще в автобусе, где её вместе с ним забирают и судьба ей становиться не известной, и он пытается разобраться в этом, спасти её и т.п.). Но не сложилось.

    Звуковое сопровождение в данной части мне понравилось больше. Оно более в тему, что ли, к определённому моменту. Игра стала более эмоционально насыщенной, включая и вследствие этого.

    Подводим итог. Геймплей, музыка на высоте. Они заслуживают 10 баллов. А вот сюжет, пусть и с моральными выборами стал, но подкачал. Отдельно за сюжет поставил только 7. И именно за моральные выборы. Не будь их, оценка была бы не выше 5.

    I waited for this game to come out for around 3 months and when I first got my hands on it, I loved it. The graphics were amazing, the story was compelling and the game play in general was spectacular. The main campaign could have been longer but the addicting side-missions compensates for it.

    Far Cry 4 has a lot to offer, story that is interesting(unpopular opinion) and a "funny ending"(the ending was a surprise to me like they did on Far Cry 3). The characters is okay, the character of Amita and Sabal are dicks and a**holes while the villain is more interesting and much better than them, Pagan Min is just amazing, yes not as scary and as insane as Vaas but Pagan is just conflicting, conflicting if he is the good guy or the bad guy throughout the game because of the other two who behaves more of a villains than the good guys.

    There so much to do in Far Cry 4 but sometimes the missions can be very repetitive. the game is much easier than Far Cry 3, the hardest version for Far Cry 4 is a normal version for Far Cry 3. The villain even if he is conflicting and lovable (at least for me) is given short amount of time. The main character, we don't get emotional attachment or any interesting things to say and feel about him. The game gives a feeling of the same, if you play too much of the far cry franchise with just a little amount of updated game mechanics.

    Far cry 4 is a good game and sure you will enjoy this.    … Expand

    I am generally not a fan of first-person shooter games. Most of them are just trying to be a bit too edgy in my opinion. Far Cry 4 breaks away from that stereotype by giving exploration, story, involvement in the characters, and side missions a focus and not just mindless shooting without any real gameplay.

Most of them are just trying to be a bit too edgy in my opinion. Far Cry 4 breaks away from that stereotype by giving exploration, story, involvement in the characters, and side missions a focus and not just mindless shooting without any real gameplay.

    By far my favorite part of Far Cry 4 is the open world. I sometimes didn't touch the story for days and instead ran across Kyrat, taking down the Royal Army and just seeing what I could discover. I may not see the same locations or people every day and I may not get into the same situations. The amount of variety on display is simply staggering. It's fun to just mess around in the open world before returning to the mission-based narrative.

    That's not intended as a slight to the story. In fact, I found the story to be much better than Far Cry 3's cliché-driven, over the top drug fest. The protagonist, Ajay, is much more likable than Jason. I actually felt as if I was having an effect on Kyrat and its people. Far Cry 4's story was also much more my style--it is morally grey as opposed to 3's black and white story. Sometimes you may like the leaders of the Golden Path, sometimes you may prefer Pagan. I also really liked the choices dynamic where you decide whether or not you should side with Amita or Sabal. I wish that the writers took it one step further and allowed us to side with Pagan on some missions though. That would've been a real treat.

    I found the gameplay incredibly addicting. The map is simplistic and straightforward as opposed to games like AC: Unity or LEGO Force Awakens (a niche example, I know) where you are flooded with so many things that you don't even know where to start and you don't know what's happening. The sense of progression in the game is very well done as well. You always feel like you can get better. There's almost always skills and weapons out there that are better than what you have now.

    Far Cry 4 is a very, very good game. Though the gameplay is not changed much, the overall experience is a massive improvement over Far Cry 3. It simply cannot be argued.    … Expand

    This is called the "character introduction" phase of story telling, and FarCry just decides to pretty much skip it. But you know what? Screw it. We know what we're all here for - let the chaos commence!

    This game is a lot of fun. It jumps straight into the action and you immediately get a lot of freedom to roam about. The pace is set nicely with a lot of random encounters and a steady scattering of collectables, which helps to keep up the momentum whilst exploring the beautiful landscape. It also has the usual crazy type characters, and good humour. If you liked FarCry 3 you'll love 4.    … Expand

    Far Cry 4 is a great game as it truly is pure fun. Where Far Cry 4 fails is where 3 succeeded: in its surprise. While 3's level of quality came out of nowhere, 4 just feels more of the same. That is not to say it is bad, in fact it is probably a better game than 3 as it creates a bigger, more interesting and beautiful world.

That is not to say it is bad, in fact it is probably a better game than 3 as it creates a bigger, more interesting and beautiful world.

    The beauty of the world is extraordinary and more than ever the world feels alive with pop up Karma events and the sheer volume of animals roaming the land. The draw distance and processing power of the PS4 really make a big difference and the mountains in this game look outstanding. Key to this world is traversal and the game nails this. From buzzer helicopters to wingsuits and simply grappling up mountains, travelling across the map is an enjoyable experience and often a thrilling way to take in the scenery. The auto drive system introduced into the vehicles is a stroke of simple genius. Fast travel is also there when needing to get across the map quickly.

    The characters of Far Cry 4 are very hit and miss. The playable character is very forgettable and perhaps would have been better silent or radical different. Your allies within the Golden Path are very run of the mill characters. The show is stolen by the wonderful work of Troy Baker as Pagan Min, one of the most memorable villains in recent video game history. Far Cry 4 faced the almost impossible job of living up to the iconic Vaas of Far Cry 3 and some how they did it. The only downside of Pagan Min is that he could have been utilised more.

    The story is interesting but not extraordinary, it fails to reach the heights of the world and the villain but does have its moments. Where it success most is in its meaningful decisions which can shape the story and the future of Kyrat. I found myself agonising ver decisions and regretting choices which is a great sign that the choices are implemented effectively.

    The game is filled with additional activities. The variety of side quests are great and often challenging and interesting, especially the Kyrat Fashion Week activities and the racing challenges. some activities get a bit repetitive however such as the hostage scenarios. Perhaps less would have been more in ths=is case and with some other areas such as towers. Its not a Ubisoft game seemingly unless you have to climb a tower to unlock the map and 17 towers is simply too many as after 5 its just not that interesting. Furtherore the amount of drug infused 'trippy' missions ruined the effect, they were impressive stylistically through sound and vision but that effect wore off after a few times. Moreover the Shangri-La activities seemed to fill the same goal of these missions of changing up the style and gameplay. By having these activities too there was simply an over saturation of visions and trips.

    On a performance level the game is pretty faultless. the only annoyance was se failed respawns and often respawnng far away from where the death took part back to the last camp. This is a great and extremely fun game that just didn't really surprise or raise the bar enough from the previous entry.    … Expand

    Let me start off by saying that I was a big fan of the first Far Cry game. Far Cry 2 was fun amidst it's pacing problems. Far Cry 3's setting and gameplay didn't entertain me, so I never continued playing that game. As for Far Cry 4 (the little footage online I had seen), I never wanted to buy it until the Yeti's DLC intrigued me. You jump right into the action in this game.

    Far Cry 4's gameplay is fun and even though you do some of the same things again, it never feels repetitive and boring. I love the fictional land with breathtaking views. The quests are diverse, but the real fun begins when you start doing the main missions associated with the story. The characters are great and memorable throughout. I love the villain in this game. The opening of the game made me laugh and pumped me up for what was to come. There's not very many games that do that right. I was ready to learn more of what the land of Kyrat had to offer.

    Explosions are exhilarating and there are a plethora of weapons to choose from and unlock. The hunting is great as well. I've never been a big fan of stealth, but in this game it does require you to be stealthy at some points in the game. It doesn't take away from the overall experience and I'll condone it for now. I have never gotten a 100 percent in a game before, but this game makes me want to continue playing.

    PROS:

    - Huge and beautiful vast world to explore (The first use of my PS4's snap a pic feature) So pretty.
    - Gyrocopters and many other exciting ways to traverse the landscape.
    - The Villain is fascinating. Memorable characters
    - Fun weapons and gameplay
    - Story is intriguing
    - The Shangri-La and the Yogi and Reggie missions are great additions. They provide a change of pace and scenery.

    CONS:

    - Needs more variety in quests.
    - There's no use for the sleep feature. I haven't used it once.
    - Audio logs would have been a better and memorable use for the countless notes you come across.
    - Driving is awkward since you use the same stick for forward and reverse.

Mistress Factor is at a 10 right now. I'm only about 3 hours in and this game is going to have me wrapped up for a while.

    It's a beautiful game graphically first and foremost. The landscape they used is breathtaking. I'm a big FPS guy so the game play is right up my alley. Exploration in the game is amazing. You can just doing whatever quests you want and you get drawn in no matter how small it may seem. The crafting, the progression, the skill tree. It is all amazing.

    I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to jump on the Far Cry bandwagon but now I'm here and I plan on staying. I was so disappointed with the new games that just dropped and all the hype. COD and Battlefront are just so freaking disappointed but Far Cry 4 gives gamers hope.    … Expand

    One of the best PS4 games with an almost unlimited world. Unfortunately the enemies seemed too easy and the story length was a bit abrupt but the story itself and replayability even it out.

    I actually loved the large open world of far cry 4 there was so much to do and and you could do it in different ways. There were a few brilliant characters e.g. pagan Min, Amita, Sabal and Longinus other not so much. The story is similar to far cry 3 but more weaker with a weak protanganist(The story is still quite good though). But still it doesn't mean you should't buy the game.

If you played far cry 3 (which I haven't) won't enjoy the game in a fantastic way. However for newcomers it will be a complete joy.
    The AI is fantastic and more realistic. As random animals will chase each other or opposing sides will actually fight each other, this is even in outside the campaign. Even when you throw a rock multiple times to lure your enemy it won't go to that particular place but search the area. There is a range of dialogue of the enemies.

    Final verdict: An outstanding interactive open world game with a decent storyline but with a few great character(but none are better than Vaas and Buck.)    … Expand

    Far Cry 4 is a good game. It has a few annoying features and the occasional bug, but the gunplay is solid and the characters are interesting. I don't think it's as good as Far Cry 3, but that could just be me.

This vast and unpredictable country offers visitors opportunity and danger. You quickly find yourself caught up in a rebellion to overthrow the oppressive regime of Pagan Min, a figure known as much for his sense of style and charisma as for his cruelty and naked brutality.

In Far Cry 4, you’ll conquer fortress outposts from the back of a 6-ton elephant and take to the skies as you rain down explosives from your moving perch in the gyrocopter. The vertical landscape of the Himalayas isn’t just a gorgeous backdrop, but a playground that encourages the player to fight, hunt and explore, grappling cliffs or launching into the air, plummeting to the valley below in a controlled free fall with your wing suit.

    Really enjoyed this game, I literally lost sleep. There is so much to do and it forces you to explore to upgrade inventory. Loved battling Rhinos and thw weapons were great. Co-op play was also a lot of fun. Mechanics were great. Flying the little copter was awesome, hang gliding and the wing suit, all legit .wish i had played it slower to get more enjoyment out of it.
