Far Cry 4 Reviews
Far Cry 4 is well worth a visit, but it's more a backpacker's delight than a five-star island paradise.
Great story with more of the same open-world. Visit Kyrat and you won't regret it.
Far Cry 4 is so much like Far Cry 3 that if it weren't for the mountains and elephants I might well have forgotten which game I was playing
Evolution rather than revolution, and better for it, Far Cry 4 is the best the series has to offer.
Far Cry 4 has weak characters, but its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer feature incredibly fun freedom.
It may not bring many new ideas to the table but this is a hugely enjoyable open world shooter, with the best co-op options in the genre.
Cry 4 truly shines in the almost bacchanalian sense of freedom it bestows on the player as they traverse through its environment. In Kyrat you have the ability to go anywhere and do pretty much anything – much as Pagan Min would advocate. Here, the only pact you need keep is that with your conscience. God help you.
Far Cry 4 could have all of the multiplayer elements stripped away and it would still be a very strong game. If you enjoyed its predecessor and didn't grow tired of Ubisoft Montreal's open world formula, you'll have a blast living the experience again.
Far Cry 3 remains the series' peak, but Far Cry 4 is a lovely-looking, accomplished offering that suffers from lacklustre writing and an odd lack of purpose.
Far Cry 4 is a visually beautiful game that borrows elements from Far Cry 3 and improves upon them, but the sad and lackluster storyline keep it from being worth the price of a full purchase.
Far Cry 4 is the latest illustration that the best open worlds are those designed to function as playgrounds — where goals can be pursued even when impulsiveness thrives. While it received a good deal of help from a rock-solid foundation that is Far Cry 3, this sequel introduces more than enough new features that both games should be regarded as companion pieces to each other.
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.
Like the terrain if depicts, Far Cry 4 travels both high and low, representing the good, the bad, and ugly of video games all at once. It's awesome and messy and dumb and fun and annoying and gross and beautiful.
In taking players high into the mountains, Far Cry 4 often reaches even higher and very nearly touches the skies above it — it's only in a few areas that its ambition slightly avoids its grasp. Despite its weaker aspects in story and characters, it keeps players coming back to Kyrat.
Keeping everything that made Far Cry 3 so fun, but also adding a few new elements to shake things up a bit, Far Cry 4 is a fantastic successor.
It's a brilliant toy, a fantastic tool for players to screw around within when they feel like some lighthearted fun.
Far Cry 4's open-world provides ludicrous moments and enough chaotic fun to make it worth your while.
Although the stealth missions can be annoying--as is the fact that cut scenes can't be skipped and how there's only one save slot for the campaign--I can see myself returning to Kyrat despite its faults. There's so much to explore, and the world has so much detail that it's hard not to be drawn back.
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.
