    A streamlined version of Far Cry 4, Valley of the Yetis is a worthy addition to the franchise. [Apr 2015]

    Although it features a greater emphasis on defense than we had originally expected, Far Cry 4's Valley of the Yetis DLC ended up being almost exactly what we'd hoped for. It's fun, complementary and affordable, presenting lengthy and memorable gameplay.

    It’s Far Cry 4 simplified into a four hour experience of looting, exploring, climbing and injecting exotic herbs into your bloodstream all over again, in one short and sweet DLC expansion.

    It is not as daring or clever as Blood Dragon, but still, Valley of the Yetis is a fairly decent expansion, with a whole new area to explore, new mechanics and fresh activities.

    This one is the less attractive adventure that you can play on Kyrat. Despite the tower defense mechanics and the Yetis, there's not enough innovation to keep us playing this expansion.

    With a new tower defence mode and a pretty entertaining appearance by the snowmen Valley of the Yetis manage to bring something new into the Far Cry series. Sadly the world is a bit dull, and the story is poorly written.

The game focuses on a cult that is obsessed with the Yetis and they are cool and could have been interesting but they just don't have any real depth or even a hint of motivation other than desire to sacrifice people. The survival of night raids aspect of it gets very boring and is the central focus of the game. The real redeeming factor is the Yetis are cool and fun to fight but they are wasted in my opinion. This campaign could have been great but is wasted In similar aspect to the base game.… Expand

    Yetis are fun and initially challenging but the addition of a QTE for no good reason brings them down from great to good. The DLC is shortYetis are fun and initially challenging but the addition of a QTE for no good reason brings them down from great to good. The DLC is short which is nice and isn't filled with a bunch of fetch quests. Story is good but every other mission is a defense game which is horrific on many levels including the fact that if you prefer stealth then you are utter outgunned. Furthermore if you try to play the campaign before getting all the defenses you'll die. Pretty bad approach to me. The fact that you begin the DLC in a new area but why devs feel the need to strip you of all your gear is beyond me. Because the XP awards are so outrageous, you'll finish the DLC with the same stuff and skills you had before so why they felt you needed to repeat all this is beyond me.… Expand

En effet, cette nouvelle zone trèsLe second DLC de Far Cry 4 n’est pas aussi abominable que l’autre, celui du minable Durgesh mais… presque ! En effet, cette nouvelle zone très enneigée fait ressortir en version miniature (par rapport à l’énorme carte originale du jeu principal) tous les défauts d’origine, ce qui les rend plus irritants encore !

    Mais non content de faire (déjà) bien chier, ce DLC en rajoute (encore) une couche ou deux dans le genre bien lourd, histoire de faire chier encore plus ! les défenses obligées de la station-relais notamment avec ses hordes d’ennemis à n’en plus pouvoir ! encore plus lourdingue que les fameux yétis qu’on peut croiser ici et là, lesquels consomment beaucoup d’explosifs… avant de faire éventuellement une indigestion… et de crever (enfin !).

    Ils sont à l’image à vrai dire de tous les ennemis standards, encore plus enragés que d’habitude tandis qu’on tente de les envoyer péniblement ad patres : ces éponges à bastos, putain !! Comme dans le jeu original, l’infiltration est toute pétée, la faute à leur nervosité, aux prompts renforts et bien entendu à leur précision hallucinée et hallucinante : à tous les coups, ils vous cartonnent !

    Sans compter les animaux sauvages (enragés eux aussi) et par exemple, ces saloperies d’aigles qui viennent plus ou moins régulièrement vous faire bien chier, eux aussi ! Tout n’est pas autant galère lors des missions (quand même) mais il est clair que Far Cry 4 et ses DLC reste en général et en particulier le plus casse-couilles et le plus mauvais de tous les Far Cry fabriqués par Ubisoft… malgré pourtant les bases très saines du précédent épisode !

    Cela est dû (aussi) comme dans le jeu principal à l’imprécision notoire de la manette, mal calibrée ainsi qu’à la simulation de la ballistique complètement fumée ; en un mot comme en cent, Ubichiottes a donc bien fait de la merde sur ce coup-là ! ces crevards de baltringues, putain !!    … Expand
