    Farcry 4 has been the most fun I have had in an open world game since Skyrim. PC is well optimized and runs great. I only wish it had a few more new tricks in its sleeve, but fun factor greater than innovation for this sequel at the very least.

    I loved Far Cry 3 and I love Fry Cry 4. If you played previous game you will feel like at home because game mechanics are very similar.

The game looks amazing and the pure scale of this immense world is something special. The game developers deserve alot of credit for giving the players so much freedom and so many options to tackle your missions. The random nature of this world is just amazing. At one point in the game i was busy trying to collect some loot when i noticed an elephant fighting with some of the locals, i jumped on the elephant and took it for a ride and decided to go hunt some rhinos. The elephant was a great way to take these rhinos out and still collect their skin. That's just one of the many different scenarios that make this game just incredible. The story so far is nothing special but it does the job. Online is basic but can provide some cool moments. This game is so much more than just another shooter or simple sandbox game. Sometimes i just run around exploring the vast landscapes and searching for items just because it's so much fun and random. The game is much better than an 85 and is getting criticized for being similar to it far Cry 3 and not changing the formula. If it ain't broken, why fix it?… Expand

    First things first, i read through all the negative reviews and it sums up as, "game is too similar to FC3, story isn't as good, characters lame, no split screen for coop"

    The game is similar to FC3, you could call it a 60 dollar expansion. But this game is so well done and beautiful, lack of bugs, fun, exciting game. Not an issue in my eyes, but i didn't play FC3 so this is probably    First things first, i read through all the negative reviews and it sums up as, "game is too similar to FC3, story isn't as good, characters lame, no split screen for coop"

    The game is similar to FC3, you could call it a 60 dollar expansion. But this game is so well done and beautiful, lack of bugs, fun, exciting game. Not an issue in my eyes, but i didn't play FC3 so this is probably why i loved this game so much.

    Story i've heard is better in FC3, but this story is fine, nothing to give the game a 0 for. They complain about the characters too but I love all the characters so far! Your character, the two high dudes are hilarious, the radio guy cracks me up, the main villain is very Joker-esk. The two people who you fight with are both set in there ways and very distinct. The characters are cool.

    And whoever complained about no split screen coop they need to calm down. The game comes with 10 keys to kyrat that allow you to share the game via share play on PS4 and play coop with anyone who has a PS4 even though they don't own the game. That's the first time a game is doing that. I fully respect that step. I feel that is a very thoughtless move in an industry of how can we milk the gamers wallets. I tip my hat to Ubisoft for having something like that implemented.

    This game is amazing. The landscape is jaw dropping, I often laugh from the script, the combination of stealth into blowing things up is great. If you are looking for a game that fulfills your completionist personality this is it. Good amount of areas to take over and discover, tons of items to search for, good amount of guns to collect. I'm trying to think of some down sides. The only aggravating thing is completing a mission and then a hawk attacks you out of nowhere and takes 3 life bars away and if you aren't at full health you basically are dead. But i'm playing on the hardest difficulty so that would explain that. But you live or I should say you die and you learn in this game On hard you really find the best way to complete missions is to go stealth. Or if you are going to go loud you should defuse the alarm systems first. Sniping is a freaking blast. The stealth kills are brutal! Nothing better than double stealth killing and then take a knife from the second guy and throw it and kill the third NPC. No frame rate issues. only twice did i notice the absolutely tiny tiny lag in frame rate but all i did was stop running for a split second and the game caught back up. It was so small i can so no frame rate issues at all. The game as never froze. Zero bugs experienced. They let you play co-op with your friends via the ps4 share feature even though they don't own the game. I haven't played pvp multi player yet so sorry no comment there. I usually agree with critic scores on here, but 7.8 is way too low. I don't know how 5 mixed reviews can bring it down to a 7.8.

    If you liked Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, and Assassin's Creed, you will love this game. I love how they give the character a personality in first person. I hate when FPS RPG games don't give you a voice. During cut scenes they give you character and emotions and show your hands when you get pissed at people when you hold up a gun to tell them to get out of your house. The little things are what make me give games 10s. If I like a game or even I love it I go for 8.5 to 9.5. But that last .5 is all about attention to detail. And this game does just that. If you don't buy it at the $60 price tag I can't get mad. But if you see this game at $45 dollars pick it up. It is a must have.

    I feel I keep rambling on here but I am just that excited to encourage others to pick this game up.

    I've heard that people say it is too similar to far cry 3. I haven't played that which might be why I find this game phenomenal.    … Expand

This is the first game I've ever even been remotely interested in the term "completionist".....not as an accomplishment....but as a way to stay in Kyrat as long as I possibly can.

    Honestly, I think this game is better than GTA V. That right there says it all. One of the best video games of all time. Right up there in my top 5, without question.    … Expand

I was impressed with the graphics, there was a couple of occasions where I saw trees doing that turning thing from above when you pass them in the air. But aside from that the game is brilliant. The story is well thought out and presented in good bite sized chunks (maybe Bungie could take a leaf out of Ubisoft's book and actually have a story). There are plenty of activities to keep you going, and if you are like me then you can spend hours just exploring the open world (again Bungie take note).

    The similarity to Far Cry 3 is there in the game mechanics but the graphical improvements on the next gen are superior to Far Cry 3. The verticality was touted a lot, and it is great fun jumping off hills and wingsuiting down.

    I would say anyone with a PS4 or xbone should own this title.    … Expand

    I find it hard to believe that others name Far Cry 4 as "Far Cry 3.5", "Far Cry 3 Part 2" or what have you. I went back and played FC 3 after completing the campaign of FC 4 and I find a dismal similarity between the two. Sure, in both games when I run up to plants I hold down E to collect them more quickly and in both games I climb up radio towers in order to discover more of the land.I find it hard to believe that others name Far Cry 4 as "Far Cry 3.5", "Far Cry 3 Part 2" or what have you.

Sure, in both games when I run up to plants I hold down E to collect them more quickly and in both games I climb up radio towers in order to discover more of the land.

    Is there anything wrong with routine objectives remaining the same?

    Especially when Far Cry 4 has significantly better mechanics than its predecessor. The map is no longer based on rectangular coordinates-- all newly discovered lands are less simply defined, which cleans up the choppy map of FC 3. Your camera, instead of displaying 9 obstructing squares in its interface, is now much more simple and intuitive. The skill paths for your character are more delineated and clear. There were many improvements between games that I feel went unnoticed by many other users. I urge you to go back and play FC 3, then comment on this game.

    Also, and I know I'll get a lot of flak for this, the antagonist of Far Cry 4 is better than that of Far Cry 3.
    Vaas has nothing on Pagan Min.

    The one shortcoming of Far Cry 4 is its disparity of Min. After the opening scene, I told myself, 'Eh, I'll play until Pagan's next short-- then I'll go to bed.' I played until 2, 3, then 4 AM rolled by and still he hadn't returned. I finally gave way to sleep only to play for several more hours until unlocking his next short. And "short" doesn't do it justice-- I wanted much, much more out of his cutscene. He is far and away the most interesting character of this game and his snippits of dialogue are simply not enough.

    Still, the choices offered throughout the game and the supplemental characters made me feel as though I actually determined the future of Kyrat. As much as I enjoyed this game, if the franchise is to succeed in the future, the role of the antagonist must be centralized. Who can argue that Vaas had you fearfully excited to continue on in the plot of Far Cry 3, and that you had trouble deciding what to do with Min in the final moments of Far Cry 4? This is the only thing that the sequel failed to improve upon; the presence of the antagonist. I enjoyed Min much more than Vaas, he just lacked the presence that Vaas had.

    In all, Far Cry 4 is a fantastic game that greatly improved upon its predecessor and had me eager to continue playing, though I wish Pagan Min had more airtime.    … Expand

    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!

    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

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

    The map is so huge and you can find everywhere something to to. The machanics of the Game or not much different between the other Far Cry games, but the Story is amazing and to play togehter with a frriend, makes Far Cry 4 to best part of the Series.

After 50 hours of pure, unbridled fun I am still only 40% complete and have many more places to explore and people to kill with a golden AK-47, pink handgun and tiger-striped sniper. On top of that, there is an entertaining and brilliant map-editor and browser, where you can make preposterous battles and play them as many times as you want, alone or in co-op. there's even an incredible multiplayer that I got hours of fun out of, with perks, customizable guns and even the opportunity to be brazen bow-and-arrow killing machines.

    Graphically speaking it is gorgeous. The environment itself, colour palette used, the animations when you liberate a bell tower, the psychedelic Yogi and Reggie levels, Shangri-La. I can't think of anything prettier. It really is a work of art. So much so it actually surprises me sometimes when I remember it's a Ubisoft game. Gameplay    Brilliant game.

    Gameplay is excellent and really smooth. It's just downright fun. That's surely an essential element of any game.
    I'm generally more of a fan of 3rd person games, but this has made me rethink that.

    Massive open world, a really solid campaign. Loads of side quests, which can be ignored, if you like, and I ignored plenty. Personally I enjoyed the story. Good characters with some good twists. I like buddhism, in general, and I loved the contrast between the peaceful environment and ideology and some good old ultra violence! Not sure if it was intentional or not but it provoked thought in me.

    First Far Cry game I've ever played, so can't comment on the progression from Far Cry 3. Ignoring that it's a solid game in its own right. I will give Far Cry Primal a go when it comes down in price.

    Played a little multiplayer lately. It was ok. I'm more of single player, particularly with a game like this.

    It's not cool or the critically acclaimed thing to say, but for me, it's easily on a par with GTA5 and The Last of Us.

Completely Co-op (which was everybody's complaint about 3) and larger in scale. Much more detailed environment, the story WAS lacking, but it is EVERY time. Who genuinely thought playing some snot nosed teenager out to save his frat buddies was an engaging story? More of a good thing isn't bad, it just means a franchise found its niche. This series does an incredible job of giving players a set of tools and creating circumstances where those tools can be used in creative ways.

It took me about 30 hours to complete the main story and I enjoyed every bit of it, I'm hoping Far Cry 5 is even better.… Expand

    After the big disappointment of Destiny I needed a game like Far Cry 4 in my life. I've been playing it for 4 days so far and there's still SO much stuff to do. The map is pretty huge, you can create your own levels and share them with other people to play, tons of unlockables (well, more than Destiny at least) and more than enough content to keep me busy for the winter.

The map is pretty huge, you can create your own levels and share them with other people to play, tons of unlockables (well, more than Destiny at least) and more than enough content to keep me busy for the winter. I'm already addicted to exploring, hunting, crafting and missions right now.

    I bought this game to show support for a sequel to the amazing Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and I'm a little bit pissed that that game isn't happening but the more I played of Far Cry 4 the more I liked (specifically the inclusion of the A.J.M. 9 auto-pistol (essentially the Auto-9 from Robocop) from Blood Dragon. Maybe it's because I never played the original Far Cry 3 and I was expecting just another unpolished game from Ubisoft but colour me impressed. I can't comment much on the story as I'm only about 1/4 through the story and, while I deem story to be pretty important with AAA titles, I'm just glad we didn't get another snooze-fest like Watch Dogs. I have yet to actually play it online because I tend to get disconnected at home with my wi-fi from time to time.    … Expand

    This has been my very first experience with the Far Cry series, and I absolutely love it. Far Cry 4 brings many non-traditional elements to the fps genre, and the overall execution is almost flawless. The game is beautiful, featuring vibrant colors, fast gunplay and great detail. The game handles very solid, though there are moments where it feels a bit buggy. Overall, I love the gunplay.This has been my very first experience with the Far Cry series, and I absolutely love it.

The game handles very solid, though there are moments where it feels a bit buggy. Overall, I love the gunplay. It definitely takes some getting use to, but when you do get the hang of things you just feel very engaged in the atmosphere. Far Cry 4's main antagonist, Pagan Min, is one of my favorite in video games history. Think Handsome Jack from Borderlands, only add an even greater metrosexual flare. Min is incredibly sarcastic, yet can snap at the blink of an eye revealing his darker, deadlier side. There are a many, many, many things to do in Kyrat, from rescuing hostages to destroying enemy propaganda, to spending hours hunting down animals to upgrade your equipment. It's almost overwhelming at first, and will easily distract you from the main story line, giving the game even greater longevity. I haven't been so enthralled and excited for a fps title since Call of Duty Black Ops first hit the market, and I can easily say that I have fully jumped on the Far Cry band wagon for iterations to come. This one is a MUST have for the 2014 holiday season.… Expand

    If you have played Far Cry 3 you will be right at home with Far Cry 4. Similar game mechanics and feel are most certainly prevalent throughout the gameplay as well as the plot in both titles.

Good first person shooting, stealth (if you want it) and fun to explore. The survival aspects of Far Cry 2 are really non-existent, but the game is still fun to play. The multiplayer is pretty bad and doesn't at all compare to any versus multiplayer out there currently. I would have been fine if it never shipped with the game. The Co-Op and I had issues for a bit there, but they seem to have been ironed out. The Co-Op gameplay is really fun, but I wish you could reset outposts within the host players game world. On top of the similar gameplay and feel of Far Cry 3, there are many other additional random events sprinkled in the open world and tweaks throughout the game. If you enjoyed Far Cry 3 then by all means I suggest you play Far Cry 4.… Expand

    A great sequel to Farcry 3. Great graphics, sound and game play. Haven't had a dull moment in the ten hours plus I a have started playing. Only complaint I have with it is the driving takes a bit of time to get used to. But the autopilot makes up for it. Must own for all FPS fans.

    Far cry 4 provides fans with many bonus features, along with the essential breath taking graphics. Though the structuralist storytelling and some what repetitive narrating has become most noticeable as a continuous theme within the sequel. Do not fear, this is an excellent game that fans will LOVE. Best open world game of the year and one of the most enjoyable games of 2014. Well done Ubisoft!

    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

    Although at first it feels like it borrows too much from its predecessor, "Far Cry 4" accomplishes the one goal games have been trying to do for years: experience your own story.

    Far cry 4 is the best fps on this year the graphics are beautiful, game play is very 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

    is an indispensable purchase for the PS4 users

    Far Cry is a rich beautiful open world game with so much to do. The action is great, the graphics are great, there is heaps of content and is an all round great experience. The co-op is disappointing and should have been split screen instead of forcing you to buy 2 copies and 2 consoles just to play with a friend.

    Plays just like far cry 3, which was what I was hoping for. Too many games try to add new features that take away from the gameplay. Ubisoft has a good thing going here. It's also great to play a game that works at launch.

    This is the most (pardon my langugage) un-f---ed Ubisoft shooter games. I still having alot of excitement in Far Cry. But seriously, It's still crucial, due to the American-Canadian evirovment was still used by Ubisoft. The shooting mechanic, was kicking, the graphics is beautiful, the game is fun, & I loved it!
