There are multitudes of wild animal to hunt, vehicles to drive/ fly (the buzzer is amazing), tasks to complete, missions to carry out and so many collectibles that any completist will be tearing their hair out! If you liked Far Cry 3 then you'll love this and if you didn't then you're loco!! So good!… Expand

    A very good game, though maybe a little too similar to FC3. The story falls short compared to its predecessor, however, there were a lot of improvements in the gameplay, and the world they created is fun and invites us to explore it with the help meaningful in-game incentives. Definitely worth it!

Drive and shoot is rather nice, but the driving controls will take time to get used to. I did get stuck while climbing off a cliff in the first half an hour, which sucked! But that is really no reason to go bananas, guess that's part of the day-one patch. A diverse range of side quests and actual incentive to deliver packages this time around! The range of weapons so far are the same as before, but the additions brings in a fresh perspective and ability to get things done. The villain looks like an interesting fellow, clearly lost his marbles a while back!… Expand

    A very decent version for the XBOX 360 though it's an already outdated machine. FC4 is a fantastic -and vividly colored- journey for every FPS/RPG fan. It sports great atmosphere, great graphics and sound (I like this guy on the radio and all this Indie music...LOL) and it also has many new elements (riding an elephant was a great idea since there are no tanks on the game) compared to FC3.A very decent version for the XBOX 360 though it's an already outdated machine.

The player's interface is much more user-friendly than that of FC3 as well as the camera controls. OK, there are some issues as well (which is logical for an open world game), like sudden pop ups here and there, character clippings, the mountains look too blurry (even like...they are made of paper) from a distance, but these are not strong enough to keep you away from such a game. I recommend this game for every FPS/RPG fan out there.… Expand

    So far I've played 4 hours of Far Cry 4. I was expecting to be giving this game a 9 or a 10 but from what I've played so far I'll be sticking with an 8.

The game is a tonne of fun, but that's just because it's so similar to it's predecessor: Far Cry 3. Few mechanics have been changed from FC3 which is good and bad in some ways. Far Cry 3 is one of my favourite games of all time and it's extremely satisfying to go back to playing with those same open-world mechanics in this game. However, it sort of feels more like an expansion than a full game, despite having a completely new open world setting. This is mostly because a lot of the missions I've played already are just so similar to Far Cry 3's missions. One huge disappointment I've had so far is with the story and characters: the story simply isn't as engaging as it was in Far Cry 3 and Pagin Min is the only character that I even remotely like. Aside from those issues, though, the game has been excellent so far. There are a few new tools introduced such as the new bait items which makes it easier for wildlife to attack enemies at strongholds. Animal attacks on enemies also feels a lot more functional than it did in Far Cry 3, though the animations are still a bit clunky. The new mini-helicopters also help make the open world much more fun to explore. The missions also feel a lot less linear than they were in FC3, there are occasional branching paths and you have some choices as to which character you want to do a mission for first. These new additions really help the open world experience feel more immersive. I haven't had time yet to try out the co-op or the multiplayer, but I'm enjoying it so far!… Expand

    Far Cry 4 is a grand game, but with a few problems.
    The game itself looks amazing. The lighting in caves though, they are too bright, rendering your flashlight useless. The trees become 2D and spin when you look down upon them. Some NPCs have rather plastics hair as well, though that may just be a bug.

    The plot is well done, with a few different outcomes dependant on your choices. The characters are well presented and built, though Ajay Ghale (The player) could use a little more background.
    Co-Op is a bit of a disappointment. Being able to do the campaign with a friend would be riveting, and it has a few bugs, often times with getting stuck I've seen. Hunting with my friends, Liberating outposts and Bell Towers and doing side quests are plenty of fun though. The servers are a bit unreliable, crashing at random. The multiplayer in this game has three different modes. I've only played Propaganda, a demolition game mode. You destroy three different areas as the Golden Path whilst the Raksash defend. Overall, Far Cry 4 is an amazing game, definitely worth buying.    … Expand

    A new game, a new story and a new villain, can not have the same air of brilliance from the first, even more so is a great FPS .

    What starts out as an almost painfully familiar derivation of its predecessor, slowly descends into an inspired piece with enough mechanical flair to separate itself from the common FPS rabble. A final act twist also helps elevate "Far Cry 4" past its initial narrative shortcomings, adding a masterstroke development to many of the game's characters, and giving the player a lot to think about.

I feel that Far Cry 4 deserves to win the best shooter game of the year even though Titanfall is miles better but Far cry 4 is just a class apart !… Expand

    It took me a while to decide if I would get this game for my 360 because of the bad user reviews that I've read.
    Some of those were pretty horrific, stating that graphics were terrible and the game being riddled by bugs and such.
    They really had me doubting. And I'm glad that I did not listen. I'm thinking they tried to play it on an old Pentium 2 computer or something like that.    It took me a while to decide if I would get this game for my 360 because of the bad user reviews that I've read.

    Because I am playing this on my 360, and yes the game is not perfect, but it still is Awesome with a capital A!
    Beautiful surroundings, awesome storytelling, sweet gameplay and yes a few little bugs.

    But still a solid 8 from me so far and enjoying every bit of it.
    Bioware has learned from part two and made up for it bigtime!
    They really delivered.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought fc4 & Assassins Creed Rogue on their release date @€65 each.
    Fc4 was a let down only, and only because of the happy clappy
    aspect to it. I don't care about the spiritual side of it. It's a SHOOTER
    game!!! I got gamer rage with the Shangri La mission where you have to fly round.
    Having had that rant, it has spectacular scenery and where else can you ride an elephant? I loved the copters, they made some of the towers easy to climb and jeez, those honey badgers are pure nasty!
    Overall, I'll play it again.    … Expand

    I wasn't a fan of FC2 or FC3 and i wasn't expecting to enjoy the fourth game. However, if you excuse the fact that you can predict the ending from the first minute of playing, it's a brilliant game, and the vast library of user created maps only adds to the fun.

    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.

    Eu achei o jogo fantástico! Tem Muito conteúdo, combate e tiroteio emocionante, muita exploração,inimigos e missões não acabam tanto igual o Far cry 5 depois de zerar, muitos deveres que grande parte são elegantes, sistema de update das habilidades e utensílios do personagem são completos e divertidos de conseguir e a história vale a pena saber.
