    Its one of the best games of 2014, its doesn't innovate with gameplay when comparing with Far Cry 3, but its still a good gameplay. It has an interesting story and is a fun ride that everyone who wants just get fun from a video game needs.

The story was alright nothing award winning but that was not expected, a nice touch was the ability to make certain decisions in the campaign which was pretty cool, the online portion of the game can be fun at times but nothing that'll keep people up all night playing it. Overall it's a good game and a must buy for fans of Far Cry 3.… Expand

    I got this game when I purchased a PS4 and have logged in about 50 hours in the game and honestly, Far Cry 4 is far too similar to its predecessor to warrant a $60 price tag. However, that is not a bad draw back per say, the gameplay is smooth and competent, the graphics are stunning, (Thanks next gen) and the story is impressive if a bit bland.

    At its core FC4 is a good game, it takes the easy approach and doesn't stray from the excellent path that FC3 lay down. The core mechanics all feel familiar to anyone who has played FC3 before, but just a bit more tweaked.

    I appreciate the extra customisation of your loadouts and all of the skill trees, crafting and looting that you can do. There are seriously huge amounts of activities to keep you occupied in Kyrat.

    Kyrat itself is a great location offering some moments of exceptional beauty... is it a true 'next gen' game? no... but it is a step up. The verticality of the map is difficult to get used to having come from FC2 & 3 which were huge open vistas, and I do find myself missing those beautiful easy to reach islands in FC3.

    The music, ambiance, sound effects and acting is of an excellent quality... but the story seems a tad throw away, with Min's character in particular not getting anywhere near enough screen time.

    The downsides for me were the annoying outposts that keep getting taken over the moment you liberate them and the wonky pathfinding AI - for me it seemed to lose track of where i needed to go and kept having to check my map.

    But all in all, a really solid game and an excellent time waster.    … Expand

    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

    Concerning the gameplay its your typical Far Cry game, which is both its strongest and weakest point; chasing the wildlife, infiltrating or burning an outpost, climbing a tower to clear the map, etc. We've done those things a thousand times before and get ready to do it another couple hundred times. It's fun when you start the game but at the end its just too much of the same thing.

    Same goes for the story with a charismatic antagonist and an undergoing revolution, you can count around 35 hours to finish the game at 100% ,10 of them are for the main campaign the rest for the side-activities which like said earlier are pretty repetitive.

    In conclusion Far Cry 4 is a good game, but despise the original location it lacks imagination and innovations. I advise this game for any gamers who didn't play Far Cry 3 or for the ones that are looking for similar experiences.    … 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.

    In a gaming market flooded with "definitive and remastered" editions, Far Cry 4 sticks to the formula of its predecessor but adds a whole new world to explore with new characters, wildlife and PvP modes. We could have gotten Far Cry 3 Remastered but instead we got something fresher, more crisp and an overall greater accomplishment than an up-scaled port of its predecessor. Job well done, Ubisoft.

    Far Cry 4 is a open world, shooter game. My son wanted to preorder this in Gamestop for 70€ and says its worth it. At first when watching campaign trailers it looks bloody. The game is beautiful and I'm an adult saying this. It contains violence but I think if my 13 year old is not scared by it it should fine. It's a great game and nothing to be too daunted about.

    Reviewer complains about game in a series being too similar to previous games in the same series.

    Oh my freaking goodness. What did you expect that a fourth Far Cry game might actually be like? Donkey Kong Country? I wonder if the same reviewers pick up GTA 5 and say "I cannot believe that GTA 5 is soooo similar to previous GTAs! What were Rockstar thinking?!!"

I wonder if the same reviewers pick up GTA 5 and say "I cannot believe that GTA 5 is soooo similar to previous GTAs! What were Rockstar thinking?!!" There's no way the next Assassins Creed game could be ANYTHING like the previous ones, right? And why is every Super Mario a brick blasting platformer? Can't they EVER be original? Sheesh!

    Anyway, with that shot at hypocrite cloud shouters off my chest, I think that Far Cry 4 is a step up from the excellent FC3. The visual splendor is glorious. The improvements to crafting are welcome. The improvements to some enemy AI particularly around fortress domination is a welcome addition.

    Far Cry 4 is more of the same. In this instance, that's not a bad thing at all. It's a highly entertaining enterprise that they have significantly improved since the disappointing FC2 looked to almost end the series. The downside are that the main storyline is a little ho hum, yet this is overshadowed by so much to do to entertain yourself that you may just want to leave as much of the main quests til last.

    The truly free roam of the world is a sight to be hold. Scaling mountainsides only to bask in the crisp ranges and green valleys is very much worth it. If it looks this good on PS4 I can only imagine how insane it must look on a top end Ultra level PC.

    The only main annoyance I have had with this game is the vicious nature of eagles. It's like they've become ravenous human hunters. I understand if I'm near your nest Mr. Eagle that you may become protective... but I was minding my own business on the valley floor and you had a beef with my existence? Sheesh!

    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 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.

    The beauty of the world is extraordinary and more than ever    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.

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

    Although it sticks too closely to the Far Cry 3 Formula, Far Cry 4 is a welcoming entry to the Franchise and whats missing in story it makes up for in the open world gameplay which is more breathtaking and even more fun and varied than 3 (riding Elephants is a lot more fun than you'd think) , the story and lack of originality hold it back from being great game or even as great as Far Cry 3.

    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.
    - Would love to have different structuring in the radio towers. They all look and feel the same.    … Expand

    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

    The graphics are excellent and the gunplay is fun and firm. Kyrat is absolutely a beautiful Himalayan country but lacks geographical diversity. Most of the places are simply forests or grasslands. I understand the dangerous wildlife is one of the main focus in the series, but adding some sorts of settlements like those in Just Cause would definitely make the game even more fabulous.

    Far Cry 4 is a game that takes many of the good things from Far Cry 3 - the gun play, the large and beautiful open world, and the satisfying feeling to sabotage an outpost of murderous radicals by releasing savage beasts from their cages, among multiple other good factors - and tries to refine them. A lot of the time, this makes playing Far Cry 4 a grand experience! You'll have funFar Cry 4 is a game that takes many of the good things from Far Cry 3 - the gun play, the large and beautiful open world, and the satisfying feeling to sabotage an outpost of murderous radicals by releasing savage beasts from their cages, among multiple other good factors - and tries to refine them. A lot of the time, this makes playing Far Cry 4 a grand experience! You'll have fun traipsing around the Himalayan scene, climbing the bell towers to scan over beautiful vistas (which you'll see at least ONCE from the back of an elephant, with a platoon of angry soldiers on your tail) and raining death upon outposts in a miniature chopper, or soaring over a mass of trees in your wing suit. You'll spend many an hour running supplies for the Golden Path, freeing hostages, killing high officials of the Kyrati Army, racing across the countryside (with incredibly floaty driving controls, sadly), and participating in more than a few hunting challenges to better improve yourself.

    HOWEVER.

    At a certain point, you may find the content of Far Cry 4 to be lacking in substance. Yes, liberating outposts and killing rhinoceroses with explosive arrows is fun! As is sneaking around multiple troops, right before you stab each of them in the stomach, taking all of their Maxi-Pads and old Cell Phones to sell on the black market. But... well, the motivation behind it all feels very lax.

    Far Cry 3's story was nothing brilliant - poor character development/utilization, poor plot, and lackluster reasoning for massive explosions (which we often did not need) - and all of those traits have found their way into Far Cry 4. You WILL find some characters and plot points that are very intriguing, many in fact! But if you ever expect those characters to be given meaningful depth, or have their storylines expanded upon, you will more than likely be disappointed.

    Also, as this is an open world game, you'll find multiple bugs and glitches that will inhibit your time in Kyrat. You may be climbing up a sheer cliff face, only to be dropped by some invisible force into a maw of rocky rapids below, or you'll try to jump over a gap, caught by geometry, plummeting to your death. Thankfully, because Far Cry saves rather often, your progress will not be inhibited TOO terribly, but ten to fifteen minutes lost to a glitch will be a rotten experience.

    Honestly? As long as you don't expect to find a story like Bioshock: Infinite or The Last of Us, and you can ignore its many comparisons to Far Cry THREE, you should have a very fun time with this game. Just... don't overload yourself on it. It's a fun game, yes, but it's very simple to have so much Far Cry at once that it becomes mundane. Y'know what I mean?

    A word of warning, however: for some reason, by default, the Playstation 4 controller has a touch pad functionality that brings up the weapon selection wheel with a swipe. This will be a problem if you have as big of thumbs as I do, because it's a very sensitive function. SO! Turn off that functionality in the options menu before you get too far into your playthrough. Otherwise, have fun in Kyrat! Say 'hi' to a Yeti for me.    … Expand

I spent around 50 hours in this game. According to me, this game can get a bit repetitive (for exemple there are 24 outposts to capture but this is optional). Also, I became annoyed of always hearing the same messages when I was climbing bell towers or driving a car...

    I think we can compare this game to Horizon Zero Dawn even though I gave Horizon 9/10. The game design is really similar. In my opinion, Far Cry 4 is fairly rated by the reviews we can see here. I would also give it around 7,7/10.

    If you want to enjoy this game, I strongly recommend to play stealthy, especially when you don't have yet the best guns.

    There are a few cons to consider also and it almost made me consider give this game a 7/10 rating
    1. Expect some minor glitches and bugs (for exemple, I wasn't able to complete the last Longinus mission as a black screen came up...Fortunately, that was not a main quest where the bug would have been game breaking)
    2. The story is a bit below average. I think there was a lot of potential in the main antagonist Pagan Min but the character was not developed enough in my opinion
    3. Some missions seem a bit copy/pasted....I mean I would have prefered more variety in the way the side quests are introduced

    but I seriously enjoyed this game and this is one of the best open-world I saw. To end the review, here are 3 strong characteristics of this game:
    1. A lot of quality content
    2. A lot of variety in guns
    3. A lot of variety for the transportation (elephants, cars, buzzer, boat, jeep, truck, etc...)    … Expand

    Far Cry 4 is a good open world game, although its not as good as Far Cry 3. The story is average at best but the open world makes up for it. There are a lot of weapons and things to do in the world of Far Cry 4. Overall its a good game, I recommend it to people that don't really pay attention to narrative and are only interested in action.

    The story is interesting and teaches you that you don't walk away from a dinner party (those who have finished the game certainly understand). The characters are well written.

    Gameplay is excellent, Crafting is interesting. The only thing I didn't really like was the driving model.

    This game works surprisingly well. Although I haven't played third part of this franchise, game-play of this part looks for me familiar with all of assassin's creed games. But variety of minor tasks does not allow the player to get bored. Also I can admit that the all of the characters was interesting and unforgettable.

    Far Cry 4 is a fun romp through a well designed, well detailed atmosphere. Neither of these are foreign concepts to Ubisoft, as they've consistently designed amazing locales for both the Assassin's Creed and Far Cry series. Graphically, it looks great and the gameplay is the typical, somewhat twitchy, first person controls that Ubisoft still hasn't really nailed down as well as other studios. I absolutely love the music in the game as it genuinely compliments the locale and really helps immerse the player into the game.

    Unfortunately, that's where my praise ends. Far Cry 4 suffers from the typical Ubisoft sandbox problem of cramming an insane amount of fluff in between a very weak, short, main story arc. If someone simply focuses on the story missions and the character named side missions themselves, the game could probably be completed in 10 hours or less. The rest of the time spent will be looking around a limited amount of side activities, almost all involving going to a point and killing enemies or defending a point or by racing, and (literally) hundreds of collectibles. Collectible hunting wouldn't be bad if they continually added to character growth but after a certain point they no longer matter. Trophies/Achievements generally require half (or less) of each collectible type to unlock and the "Karma rating" is easy to peak at max level before even reaching the northern areas of Kyrat. The player will earn more than enough XP to unlock every single skill long before collecting all of the hundreds of items so, outside of sitting in a menu reading a few context blurbs, there's little incentive to bother collecting EVERYTHING.

    Ubisoft also needs to invest in writers who are capable of character development. Ajay Ghalle is a bland protagonist with whom I feel no connection or investment, much like Aiden Pierce of Ubisoft's Watch_Dogs title from earlier in 2014. Also like Watch_Dogs, the secondary characters are cliched and unremarkable. I feel no compelling reason to care about the Golden Path and their "leaders" do not help their case at all. The most charismatic and humanized characters are the so called villains - Pagan Min and Noore most specifically. While playing, I couldn't help but feel the game would have been so much better if it presented you with a path at the beginning where you could work with Pagan Min, Ghalle legacy be damned. This would have offered much more replay value and could have effectively turned FC4 into two distinct experiences - one as the returning rebel champion (the current game) and one where Ajay turns his fame into despotic power.

    Then there's the stretching of the imagination. For a country embroiled in civil war for at least two decades and extremely remote (the area is basically supposed to be on the borders of Nepal, China, and India), I find it odd that many NPCs you run into will be up to date on technology and social media trends. Radio Free Kyrat's office is a falling down shack with a whole lot of technology in it and its DJ, the annoying Rabi Ray Rana, is constantly referencing "first world problems" as if Kyrat were a Mexican border town stealing U.S. Wifi while dealing with the Cartel. Given the remote tribal areas (look up Sikkim on Wikipedia for a sense of where this game takes place), these references make zero sense.

    All that said, I still give the game a 7.5 overall because it's fun to play and the locale is so intriguing. Multiplayer is hit or miss and coop is particularly fun, except for the fact that Hurk is annoying as hell. Even though it's pointless to collect everything, it's fun to collect enough to learn a decent amount of Kyrati history. Being sent into other places like Shangri-La and The Himalayas adds another layer of depth to the game that makes it stand out. In fairness, the Shangri-La sections were, quite possibly, my favorite moments the game had to offer. Frankly, if you look at my review tendencies, you'll find that a 7.5 is actually fairly favorable, overall.

    But it does get repetitive, and fast. Ultimately, that repetitiveness, plus the very weak story, the continued twitchy driving controls, and the idiotic "lets throw 1000 pounds of armor on heavy mobs to make them 'harder'" Ubisoft mentality make me drop the game down a few notches. It's still very much worth playing, perhaps when the game goes on sale or perhaps as a rental.    … Expand

    I got this game at a killer price and ultimately thought that it was worth the price given the large swath of content in it.

No real explanation of why the main character being seemingly just a normal dude at the start can basically morph into the SAS or Navy SEALs and is able to take down an entire army and a psychotic dictator all by himself. also there is no real detail about Kyrat or its history.
