    Far Cry 3 was one of my favourite games of 2012, in fact I think it was in my top 5 game’s of the year. 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.

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!… Expand

    Y'know what, I haven't played original FC3, but I can say that when I watched on YouTube differences between 'Classic Edition' and Original, I understood that this is not a remastered edition, it's just Far Cry 3 for Xbox One and PS4!

    I have loved the game very much. The mechanics of shooting and driving, exploration, hunting, enemies that react in a greasy way to anything, and the cherry on the cake, Vaas Montenegro, one of the best villains that have happened in this game. There are bad things about this game, like that Vaas's participation is very short and he reappears when he dies. They take you away from where youI have loved the game very much.

    Even if you do not enjoy the storyline (which is near impossible because it is a hell of a ride), there is so much rich details and wonderfully engaging distractions that make Far Cry 3 an exceptional adventure game with truly bullock adventures and villains.
