The Far Cry series has always been a favourite of mine and Far Cry 3 is probably my 1st favourite game in the series just ahead of Far Cry 5, so as you can imagine I was quite looking forward to this particular remaster. I was however a little worried as well because remasters often take away a game’s true identity and you don’t end up enjoying it as much as you did the first time around. Thankfully this isn’t the case with this remaster because it feels just as good now as it did back in 2012, which is awesome. The story which was one of the best aspects about the original game is thankfully just as good and interesting as it was back then and it was a pleasure to play through it again. I was however a little worried to see how the gameplay had aged, but thankfully these worries were soon relieved. The gameplay has aged extremely well and the shooting mechanics still feel fun and most important of all responsive throughout your time with the game. The missions also remain fun and interesting throughout and the amount of variety in each different mission keeps things fresh and interesting for quite a while. This is a very good thing because in terms of content the game has a decent amount for you to get to grips with and the best thing is that the content has a lot of variety dotted throughout. Despite the decent amount of content the game has I was however a little disappointed to see that both the online co-op and map editor modes weren’t included. This is a shame because both these aspects in the original game worked really well and gave the game even more replayability back in the day. Whilst I was disappointed by them not having them inclusions in the remaster I was still able to look past this and that was mainly down to the game’s fantastic world. Exploring this fantastic world again was as exciting as ever and the best thing is that I forgot about some of the locations so it was nice to jog my memory and revisit them again. As far as remasters go there isn’t that many improvents about but there is in terms of the presentation side of the game. Visually the game has more polish this time around and when the newly improved visuals combine with the very good sound design you do end up having even more of an immersive experience this time around. At the end of the day if you’ve never played Far Cry 3 before then I fully recommend that you try this version out first because it does feel more modern than the original. That being said I would recommend this version even if you’ve played the original because it’s still a great game in remastered form. Two thumbs up!… Full Review »

The story is typical and cliche, with various mindless actions and decisions, typical missions to endure enemies or rare, with dreams and magic potions. Vaas is a pretty bad villain and hoyt a little better but still, friends are hateful, like all characters.

    Clear the map, towers, areas ... skills that you learn with points instead of learning and improving them. stupid i.a., who stare at a wall or lose you if you are behind a plant, bad physics, bad moves for a first person game.

    Perhaps in his year of departure all this was not so evident but today he has aged very badly. There is nothing that stands out for the better.    … Full Review »
