    This is one of the best games of the year in my opinion because it actually improves on Far Cry 3. That's probably extremely debatable, but I think it's true. Far Cry 3's story was really cliche, but 4's story is something I've never seen in a game, and that's because your character's goal isn't revenge or money. It's to scatter your mother's ashes.

It also adds new weapons and vehicles like the crossbow, and (which is in a way a vehicle) elephants.And last but not least, the world is HUGE! And being able to use a gyrocopter to fly around it makes it even better. This game's slogan doesn't lie. Every second is a story.… Expand

    I was REALLY enjoying this game... Then I played co op. And now I am LOVING it! No story is necessary to find your own fun in this living / breathing world! Its incredible watching what naturally happens around the world. Cannot wait to get back into it.

    This game is phenomal. Normally Ubisoft pisses me off with games like watch dogs and assasins creed, but sometimes they come out with a game you cant help but love,for me that game is far cry 4! One of the best shooters ever! Graphics story and gameplay are all great. Highlty recommended.

    Far Cry 4 is fast-based FPS -game, which has beutiful and exotic graphics. So much things to do, even though the story is short.
    This game is prove that Ubisoft doesn't give up with making AAA games. // 8.5 points

    Great game. If you like farcry 3 then no doubt you'll enjoy this game. The world is so huge, there is so much stuff to do, and tons of items to collect that you'll be playing this game for months to complete it. My only complaints about this game is the usual bugs and glitches, some of them can be annoying but not really game breaking.

    Finally a real AAA game from Ubisoft this year. This game is awesome, from graphics to story, the setting is amazing, emotional soundtrack, and Pagan Min is a great antagonist. So in my opnion, excellent game, I would give it a 10 if it wasn't the lack of innovations in the gameplay.

    Simply put this game is just a blast to play!! While the story and the characters aren't anything special, the real fun is found in just exploring the beautiful open world and just doing some crazy stuff that you can only do in a far cry game. This game will keep you busy for a long time and I am so glad it did not disappoint.

    Мне нравятся игры серии FarCry. Пусть у каждого своя любимая часть. Мне до выхода данной игры нравилась более всего 3 часть.

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.
    В итоге общая оценка 9.    … Expand

Go stealth, go guns a blazing, toss some steaks at the enemy and watch the animals do your work for you, perhaps mount an elephant and do some stampeding. It's all good times no matter the approach. The co-op was a blast, hunting missions, capturing outposts/fortresses basically anything I could do with a friend I did. The other online modes all run really well for me and I have spent a few hours mucking about. Nothing to mind blowing but still pretty fun.

    The story was fine, not great but it held my attention. The main quest that you have to do by yourself was really fun, the missions aren't to short or to long, very well paced IMO.

    The biggest compliment I can pay this game is that I did not want to stop playing until I had completed it. 40 hours of pure fun is good value IMO. With solid online modes the replay value is pretty high as well. All in all this game was a very pleasant surprise for myself.    … 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 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.

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.

    Admittedly my opinion of this game might be slightly skewed as I have a hard-on for Indo-Himalayan culture, but I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The only let down was a slightly generic story. Yes it was almost identical to Far Cry 3 in gameplay and functionality, but if it ain't broke, why fix it?

I judge a game by how entertained I am and what I like to call the Mistress Factor. Mistress because I find myself torn between my fiancee and putting time in on this game. 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

    What Kind of Adventure?

    First-Person Shooter Was it fun? Yes, I did enjoy this game. Are there any similar games? Its hard to talk about this game and not bring up Far Cry Primal. The map itself is identical and a lot of the side quests are similar. What did you think of the story? I actually think the story itself was really well done and very enjoyable. Essentially    What Kind of Adventure?

    First-Person Shooter

    Was it fun?

    Yes, I did enjoy this game.

    Are there any similar games?

    Its hard to talk about this game and not bring up Far Cry Primal. The map itself is identical and a lot of the side quests are similar.

    What did you think of the story?

    I actually think the story itself was really well done and very enjoyable. Essentially the goal is to join the Golden Path so you can bring down Pagan Min who is the games villain. Pagan Min is the country’s king and you want to bring him down so you can spread your mothers ashes in a specific place on the map that is locked.

    Favorite Character?

    My favorite character in the game was actually the villain-Pagan Min. He had this charisma about him, it just made him an funny and enjoyable character. In the end you do have the choice whether to kill him or let him live. I let him live because I just liked him too much.

    Favorite Mission?

    The Campaign Mission is called “The Mouth of Madness.” Basically you’re thrown into this battle arena and you have to kill these waves of enemies. Its just a fun thing to do and the end of it, you end up meeting the Noore.

    Would you play it again?

    Probably not, no.

    Any Complaints?

    Initially I hated the driving, the controls were wonky and hard to use. As I played the game, I got use to the driving mechanic and I was zipping around the map just fine. So if you’re struggling with the driving, keep playing and it’ll get easier.

    The way I play games like this is, I run around and I unlock all of the camps and bell towers. So I run around and do all of that and then I focus on the story missions and crank them out, one after another. What sucked about doing this is, there were like 4 or 5 stealth missions in a row. I don’t mind stealth missions every once in awhile but that was too many in a row.

    How many hours did you play it?

    Probably around 25 hours. I know the game tells you but I didn’t look.    … Expand

I passed this game 4 times, and I'll go through another, the plot is interesting.

    After playing FC3 and Primal, this is a great game!
    Yes, the story was not as compelling as FC3 but the playability, side missions, all the things they added were really welcome and entertaining additions.
    Best weapon for me: The Bow and arrows. So many possibilities with the additions of Fire arrows and Explosive arrows (who needs a rocket launcher?)

You can just move around so easily while still feeling limited and not god like and the whole time there is an opportunity to witness funny stuff like a pack of rhinos slamming enemy vehicles into trees. The combat is fluid and you can easily access your weapons in combat. It gives you the opportunity to be an artist in crafting the massacre of your enemies. There are many weaknesses to the game but all of them can be overlooked if you just want to hang out in the mountains and blow stuff up.

    I recommend to disregard the "keyboard warriors" that like to dole out zero's for a game that deserves much more. Is is a masterpiece? No, but any short comings that arise in the single player get extinguished when you play the online co-op with a friend. It is perfectly done and well worth the trip to Kyrat! 8/10    … Expand

    Far Cry 4 plays almost identically to its glorious predecessor, but the lack of change in gameplay mechanics doesn't stop it from being a great game. While the story is not so compelling, Kyrat is beautiful enough you will want to stay.

    after a big disappointment of AS:unity, i thought this would end up with same disappointment
    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

Other gripes: Fire isn't as effective as in FC2. NPC's still suffer from poor sound quality. And I want prone back from FC1. Also, having now played Dying Light, the climbing and grappling (traversal in general) seem clunky. At least the FC4 gun play is still fun.… Expand

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

    Far cry 4 is one of those games where you can take a rocket launcher, walk up to an elephant, and give the immediate are a new paint job. It has a sense of humor that can be appretiated by drug lords and violence enthusiasts. After the prologue, the game hits you on the bum and lets you do whatever the hell you want from then on. In short, it's a fun game.

    Series mainstays and features from the previous installment are still found here. There is a huge open world teeming with wildlife, things to do and collect, and lots and lots of dudes to shoot, stab or go Rambo on. The world seems to have gotten a bit bigger this time around, but not noticeably so. There are a few more weapons to experiment with (I think the game cites around 80 between the sidearms, mains, and specialties), but your go-to will probably still be the recurve bow if that was what it was during 3, because it's still beastly. Ubisoft likes to put ridiculous amounts of collectibles in their games, and that is no where more apparent than here, and it's probably where the game will get most of its gameplay time for completionists. I'd 40-50 hours could be spent diligently picking up all that Ubi has hidden, though the rewards for doing so is unimpressive.

    I know a lot of people, including myself, found the protagonist of FC3 irritating but that narrative strong. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how much you hated Brody), both of these aspects have changed. The main character is no longer a whiny rich kid from California, but he no longer has much of a personality either. Ajay is definitely more of a cipher or blank slate. The actual story is pretty dull - occasionally delving into moral ambiguities, but told in a very plodding and flat manner. There is some attempt at more unique story beats and missions, including a few trips to Shangraila, but the gameplay design causes these bits to suffer. Though, some of the more memorable missions of FC3 have been unapologetically copy/pasted in FC4.

    How much you enjoy Far Cry 4 will depend on how much you enjoyed Far Cry 3 - 4 is unlikely to win you over if you've not been a fan of the series thus far - and if you subscribe to the collect-a-thon value proposition the game has to offer. There is no denying that Far Cry 4 has a huge amount of content to offer and explore and, as a fan of FC3, I can't not recommend it.    … Expand

    Although, I felt this game was a bit "up in your face" at times. When you capture an outpost, there is a prisoner in binds shouting and pleading for mercy and he or she has some annoying mission you have to do. Any time you enter that damn building, they keep saying "HELP SAVE MY FAMILY!!!!" and there's that guy planning a mission outside like "NO THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK!!!! I NEED SOMEONE FOR THIS MISSION *COUGH*". It was a bit overwhelming.

    Far Cry 4 is a good game that continues in the same spirit and style of its predecessor but is letdown by a few disappointing flaws. Far Cry 3 was one of the biggest surprises of the old gen as it delivered a fantastic and vast FPS experience against very competitive games within the genre but this outing struggles to deliver the same impact in quality and gameplay.

    Firstly, the game    Far Cry 4 is a good game that continues in the same spirit and style of its predecessor but is letdown by a few disappointing flaws. Far Cry 3 was one of the biggest surprises of the old gen as it delivered a fantastic and vast FPS experience against very competitive games within the genre but this outing struggles to deliver the same impact in quality and gameplay.

    Firstly, the game looks absolutely fantastic. The visuals, draw distances and effects all look superb and mold the beautiful and thriving world of Kyrat on a grand scale. The island itself is massive but it often feels too cramped with narrow paths, tons of trees and elevated surfaces boxing you in on the ground - it's not as open as the island seen on Far Cry 3 and this may disappoint even die-hard fans. There is a greater focus on elevated gameplay here and scaling heights through climbing which can become a bit of a chore when reaching difficult areas. Despite the size of the map; everything feels more claustrophobic and the general layout of Kyrat and the map seems poorly put together.

    In terms of the gameplay; this outing utilises the same infrastructure of Far Cry 3 which isn't a bad thing. The skills, crafting and general mechanics are all the same which is fantastic as the structure is familiar and works incredibly well. There are animals galore to hunt and avoid plus vehicles to move around easier once again. Guns are aplenty with full customisation options and there is plenty of loot to hunt.

    Sadly, despite its familiar style and stunning backdrop; Far Cry 4 just lacks in a few key areas. The story is rather bland and boring, most of the characters are dreadful along with the acting plus the core gameplay just feels rather uninspiring. Everything on offer in this game may ooze Far Cry 3 but the overall execution is not quite up to par with that game and the above issues really hit home.

    Overall, Far Cry 4 is a good game that follows in the footsteps of it's predecessor but fails to shine in some key aspects. Fans of the series will probably enjoy the experience but may be left a bit underwhelmed with some lackluster features.    … Expand

    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.
    IF they would have combined the best of far cry 2 then merged it with 3,added a killer story then with far cry 4's more modern graphics it would have been the game of the millenium for me! This    I really wanted to see FAR CRY 4 be a hybrid of 2 and 3.

    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.

The gameplay is very fun and gets even more fun once the player gets the wing suit which allows the player to traverse and travel the world really fast. 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

There are excess of influences between the structure and mechanic of Assassin´s Creed, Watch Dogs, Far Cry and Splinter Cell. And i´m not saying it´s a bad game because it isn´t.
