Sep 12, 2021The story and antagonist is well conceptualised but it's clear the director wanted to tell more. Yet the publisher did not allow that to happen.
-
Nov 22, 2021Content wise, the game was a major step-up from Far Cry 3, though I didn't really appreciate the story and how you're really rooting for the supposed "bad guy" at the end. And at times you're really doing the game side missions over and over. I'm also glad this was the last game with the stupid towers that seemed to plague every Ubisoft game for a time.

Aug 18, 2023Game is fun but it feels like your controlling a sack of bricks for the first half of the game until you get a **** ton of upgrades. Shooting is not very fun because of this.

Dec 7, 2014As much as i enjoyed Far Cry 3, i don't feel like i want to the same kind of stuff all over again (liberating outposts, climbing radio towers, killing animals to get their skins…) , but now in a unnecessarily bigger open world map filled with WAY more repetitive and laborious content, along boring characters (except the villain) and a uninteresting plot.
-
Dec 1, 2014Let me just come out and say it. JASON IS BOOORING! You cant just take a 100 mile open world and fill it with stupid AI and killer eagles and expect it to be epic just because its big. If you are to give your main caracter a voice and a face like gta 5 did successfully YOU NEED REAL CARACTER DEVELOPEMENT, or else the entire open world experience is ruined

Apr 26, 2015Why does Ubisoft keep putting unskippable cutscenes on the Far Cry games when NOBODY wants them. And some are 5 minutes long!! Such a waste of a good game. The game is actually awesome, when you can play that is. Please if there's a Far Cry 5, make it optional to watch the scenes. You do it for Assassin's Creed, why should this be any different

Mar 22, 2015I can't believe this got first person shooter of the year, must've been a crap year for games. The game play is very repetitive and average, the graphics are good but I prefered the atmosphere of Far Cry's 1 & 3 tropical islands. The multiplayer is good but a limited number of players.
-
Mar 23, 2015Far Cr 4 is Farc Cry 3 with a weaker story. The gameplay is the same. It's a different island. I don't think this game deserves the high praise it has gotten. It's a very good game if you haven't played FC3.

Jun 17, 2018UPDATED: The biggest problem is the boring world and side activities. The main quest is alright, and there are some interesting ideas going on. But, the main antagonist barely has any development, and the game feels too much like Far Cry 3.
-
Mar 14, 2016This game was seriously disappointing. After Far Cry 3, I expected this to be even better, but it wasn't. The story didn't move me like Far Cry 3, and while the graphics and gameplay are definitely improved, it was just so boring (Probably because it's completely recycled from Far Cry 3). Pagan Min is a terrible villain compared to Vaas, by the way.
-
Sep 28, 2021Basically newer Far Cry 3, but sligthly worse in pretty much every aspect. 6/10 game, but because of its similiarity to FC3, I bring down the rating by 1.
-
Nov 15, 2017I have played games for over 20 years and this is a mediocre experience. The developers trust that the open world will be engaging enough to keep players playing but frankly its mostly just getting from A to B. I would call this a travel simulator with some shooting and stealth in between. The characters are weak and you feel no connection with them and the story feels plaster on like a band aid.
-
Nov 7, 2020Goods graphics but didn't like the gameplay, guns and combat in general seems kinda bland.
-
Jan 24, 2023Few things improved from far cry 3 but also some annoying things like eagles always attacking, and all the characters are unlikable, meaning i ran through the game not caring about my decisions.

Mar 6, 2020To much of the same thing going on for side quests, I do love the vehicles, weapons and story this game has though.
-
Jan 13, 2021Graphics looks really fine for nearly 7 years game, gameplay is fine, could be better could be worse. Story didn't take me on a best spin but it is always nice to do some shooting and action.

Mar 31, 2022If you are a hardcore gamer and have a bit free time and cannot decide what to do it is a very good game for that.
-
Sep 20, 2022Same as Far Cry 3, still playable but no improvements at all. Even the graphics look the same.
-
Jan 15, 2023It's decent, I ended up finishing it. Story's nothing special. Driving everywhere gets annoying. Towers & other missions get repetitive. Graphics are great.

Apr 30, 2015This game is just like Farcry 3. Just not as good, and with less interesting characters, and story, and lacks a decent multiplayer mode.
Just get Farcry 3 instead.
This release should of been; Farcry 4: Blood dragon 2 - Vietnam 3. -

Feb 16, 2019I couldn’t get into this one. Loved FC3 but this didn’t hook me. Played 2-3 hours and then stopped. Spent too much time aimlessly walking around the map.

Nov 19, 2014It's a very pretty game, with some very nice and well thought out environments. However the I found the gameplay to be pretty lacking overall and the story, characters and overall message of the game was downright embarrassing. I'd rather play the Far Cry 3 DLC Blood Dragon.

Dec 22, 2014I really liked FC3, but this seems like a step back. The gun play is very sloppy. The story in not nearly as engaging, and the location is not as interesting. I played for maybe 4 hours and lost interest. Overall a missed opportunity. They should have focused on blood dragon, and expanded that concept.

Jan 21, 2015Awesome game but COOP doesn't work for me or my friends, this is the part we were looking forward to the most. Because of that it will get a bad score.

Nov 19, 2014On the console do not splitscreen? Oh and what for it is necessary? Console, Convivial platform game sharpened by a cooperative mode, and no splitscreen. The main distinguishing feature of the console. I can not play with friends for a case of beer, right? **** you.

May 14, 2021Decent main story, the rest is mostly trash made to annoy and remove the will to play, so many unecessary functions or events made just to make the game as tedious as possible.

May 18, 2020Performance on a Playstation 4 Pro is appalling, especially because of the incredibly narrow FOV that is unchangeable.
The game looks like a pretty slideshow and isn't worth the trouble to play. -
Dec 29, 2014With new patch 1.6 game started to crash after 10-15 minutes of playing. I almost finished this game, I really liked it, but now I can't finish it!! Ubi, you are worst gaming company.
-
Feb 18, 2015Decent shooting and combat...But the characters and the story are dreadful. There is no motivation for any of the things you, as the main character, do.
-
Jul 23, 2021recycled game are the same scenes of far cry 3. game totally buggy, your character enters into the scene. weak plot, ugly graphics and bad gameplay.
-
Feb 24, 2016This is the fourth time the same game is being released with different skins and textures. Every year theres another Far Cry, which is the same story, the same characters, the same engine, the same same.
-
Nov 19, 2014Way too much like far cry 3, really weak story. I wished they had changed up some things but they play most of it too safe. Maybe next year far cry, ubisoft has been a disappointment so far

Dec 30, 2021Unacceptably buggy. Story written by a middle schooler. Promotes South Asian racism and stereotypes. Pathetic.
