And yet, despite all the flaws, Far Cry 4 pounds out an open-world FPS maelstrom of ridiculousness. It's always in your face and it's never afraid to throw numerous and diverse dangers in your path, just to see if you can adapt and survive. There's a distinct sense of power when you make your assault on the criminals of Kyrat and that's something I can get behind.

It may just be Far Cry 3 with a Himalayan skin and a more believable story but Far Cry 4 is a game you'll struggle to put down. Whether you're battling through story missions, liberating outposts or riding elephants into battle it is one of the best current-gen games out there.

'Far Cry 4' is not a revolutionary game in the series (no pun intended), but it continues to build on the addictive open world gameplay of its predecessors. Kyrat is the best character and has enough content to keep players busy for countless hours. The campaign co-op is a welcome addition. A weak storyline, last-gen visuals, and unfinished multiplayer keep it from the upper echelons of greatness.

Where it lacks innovation Far Cry 4 makes up for it in quality gameplay, memorable characters and a breathtaking world begging to be explored. A worthy instalment in the series.

Far Cry 4 doesn't do much to differentiate itself from its predecessor, but it doesn't necessarily have to.

در نهایت اگر بخواهیم پاسخی به سوال آغازین بدهیم می توانیم بگوییم FARCRY4 نسخه پيشرفته و تكامل يافته FC3 بحساب می آید که در هر بخش از آن شاهد اضافه شدن و قرارگیری ویژگی های بهتری هستیم . از محیط های باشکوه متنوع تا حیات وحش بی نظیر Kyrat و از مراحل متنوع داستانی تا ماموریت ها و اهداف جانبی همگی در کنار هم مجموعه ای بسیار لذتبخش و وسوسه انگیز را تشکیل داده اند كه اگر برخی ایرادات در زمینه داستان و شخصیت پردازی نبود به واقع این عنوان می توانست مدعی جدی برای کسب عنوان برترین بازی سال باشد . در پایان اگر این عنوان را هنوز تجربه نکرده اید بهتر است در اسرع وقت آن را ترجيحا بر روی پلتفرم های نسل هشتم تجربه کنید و ماجراجویی جذابی را در دل کوه های هیمالیا رقم بزنید .

Far Cry 4 isn't really pushing the franchise forward, but it's a fun and robust entry all on its own.

The game could have used a better and more nuanced exporation of the psychology and morality of rebellion, and it would have been stronger for it. Still, the beautifully crafted world teaming with life and and almost never-ending sequence of quests is an alluring hook to keep players coming back, in the same way that it doesn't seem to matter how empty a Hollywood blockbuster is, so long as the explosions get bigger and better every time, the audiences will keep flocking back to them.

Far Cry 4 is a stunning iteration in the series that manages to bring forth great gameplay, superb visuals, and a pretty good story with a fabulous villain. While the competitive multiplayer may not feel all that great and there are some lackluster story missions, overall you'll have a great time with the first-person shooter.

This is a vast game and as such definitely worth your time and money.

Far Cry 4 excels because it provides the depth that so many other shooters lack. It is not revolutionary, and it doesn't push the boundaries of the genre, but you know what? Far Cry 4 knows that in the end, all players want to do is "shoot some goddamn guns" and have fun doing it. Far Cry 4 delivers that in spades.

Though lazily framed and under-scripted, Far Cry 4 is a gorgeous, systems-oriented playground that provides endless hours of entertainment. And exploding elephants.

It's hard to imagine that Ubisoft had a hard time working on Far Cry 4; all they had to do was build upon what Far Cry 3 established, and that is exactly what they have done. Far Cry 4 is by far the most complete and well crafted game in the series thus far; it has none of its predecessors' faults and all of their strengths, and as a result this is an easy game to recommend. However, it is unfortunate that the developer didn't put a little extra effort into changing the formula up a bit. Far Cry 4 is sure to keep its players entertained for a good while, and I'm hoping that Ubisoft spends a little more time to expand on the series more dramatically in order to prevent it from going stale.

Far Cry 4 builds on the features of the Far Cry franchise and remains true to the quality of storytelling, delivery of mechanics and awe of the environment that we’ve come to expect. A Game of the Year contender without a doubt but the franchise will need a little freshening up with its next installment.

Far Cry 4 takes what made Far Cry 3 so special and expands on a winning formula. With lots to do in both singleplayer and cooperatively you'll find Ubisoft's latest entry to the series a worthwhile investment.

Far Cry is a game that you can start up and play for both a short amount of time and for long, gaming sessions. There is just absolutely so much to do in the game. If you are looking for an open world game from a FPS perspective and have yet to try the Far Cry series, you definitely need to check this out.

Far Cry 4 certainly features a lot to love, but Ubi's continued buffet-style approach to content has the game wearing out its welcome far earlier than it should. Still, if you're willing to adopt a pick-and-choose approach to its unbelievable amount of stuff to do, you should have a good time—just don't expect to digest everything it has to offer.
