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 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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

UbiSoft Montreal's latest first-person open world shooter is crudely violent and frequently illogical, but it is beauty in motion when it's not killing things that move.

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

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

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' 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.

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.

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.

Far Cry 4 may just be more of the same from Far Cry 3, but, in the best possible way. Ubisoft took what was great about the third game, and improved it in almost every way, making this one of the most refreshing, fun and addictive open-world titles available. With solid fundamental mechanics, a superb open gameworld, multiplayer to come back for, and some fantastic DLC, this psychotic voyage through a deadly paradise is worth setting a course for.

As adventure park, Far Cry 4 performs admirably well. There are ample opportunities and excuses to do within its bounds whatever it is you want to do. The particular darkness of its narrative might be a bit more basic cable than HBO, but there are other parks if that's not your sort of thing. This is the kind of place where even your enemies love you, as long as you say yes to everything. That's the price of admission. Well, that and $60.

It is the Assassin's Creed effect, playing it safe and not doing anything different leads to frustrations. If this was the end of the series, then it is a perfect time to bow out it does nothing wrong and is a perfectly fine game, visually impressive and a wonderful world to explore and play in, but the end of an era.
