Far Cry® 4 Reviews

I remember enjoying this game when I was younger, but playing it again all I can think is "Man this game sucks" or "Man I wish I were playing a better game right now". It's probably not fair to compare them, but I keep thinking about Just Cause 3 and Metal Gear Solid 5, games that both came out in the same generation as this, and both games that are SO MUCH MORE FUN. If you REALLY want to play a Far Cry game, play 3, 5, or Blood Dragon, because all of those are better. I think there's nothing in this game to make it stand out from it's peers, or even stand out in it's own series. I guess it's fun to ride elephants? WAIT! I just thought of another thing! Throwing rocks at NPC's heads. That never gets old.

I have 7 hours of gameplay in this game, it's quite fun but when I try to download the map editor the game always refuses to launch, I've tried reinstalling it many times but it doesn't work.

Honestly i don't know what it is about this game but every time i have tried to play this far cry i just get bored or just stop caring and end up uninstalling it also why the hell did they even give us co op if we cant do story co op :\

its good on consoles but is terribly ported on pc with the never ending bugs that are just annoying making the game a drag the more you play the more noticeable it is. oh and its made by ubisoft unfortunately

Very fun. Its basically Far cry 3 with more to do and more weapons, but a worse story and characters. Would recommend!

Love this game, I've played it so many times over the years and it still manages to be very fun

The game itself is fun enough but I don't recommend it if you like 100%-ing games. When will developers learn that putting mp achievements in single player games doesn't work. a player that cares about achievements isn't likely to enjoy multiplayer. And players that enjoy multiplayer often do not care about achievements. It makes it so your game can't be completed unless there's a very active community.

Far Cry 4 lets you live the dream: being a Nepalese-inspired Maoist insurgent with style. Forget dialectical materialism, our material of choice is grenades, flamethrowers, and the occasional angry honey badger. I liked that even in a hypothetical maoist insurrection, half your playtime is watching your leaders argue about ideological purity and ends with a purge. Excellent detail. No notes.

When discussing the Far Cry series, we can’t overlook this installment. While Far Cry 4 didn’t revolutionize the franchise and largely followed in the footsteps of its predecessor, it’s far from a bad game. As someone who’s completed the entire series, I’d even rank Far Cry 4 in my Top 3, narrowly surpassing the legendary Far Cry 3. Yes, Far Cry 4 faced criticism for being too similar to Far Cry 3, but in my opinion, it carves out its own identity. The immersion in Eastern culture, one of the best stories in the series, refined gameplay, and solid visuals make it stand out. Every character is vibrant and well-developed, with their own motivations and backstories. Pagan Min isn’t just a generic madman, no one here is purely good or evil. Everyone has a purpose. What I love most is how your choices matter, even in small ways, shaping the ending. Gameplay-wise, it’s a delight. Everything Far Cry 3 did well, this one improves upon, making mechanics smoother and more intuitive. There’s also a wider arsenal of weapons and gear. Graphically, while not groundbreaking, the Ultra settings deliver stunning landscapes, perfect for screenshots, and performance is polished. I experienced zero crashes, bugs, or glitches during my playthrough. That said, the game isn’t flawless. The AI leaves something to be desired, as both allies and enemies can be hilariously incompetent at times. But at the end of the day, Far Cry 4 remains a game I look back on fondly, one I’ve replayed multiple times. If you’re looking for an open-world shooter to sink hours into, this is it.

This game is well made. The story is actually one of the best story games I've ever played, it is so much fun and the story is insanely good. I think, gameplay wise, it's better than Far Cry 3 in almost every aspect of the game. Overall Rating: 8.9/10
