It is the successor to the 2012 video game Far Cry 3, and the fourth main installment in the Far Cry series. To read Jason’s extended review of Far Cry 4, grab the Dec issue of CGM.Far Cry 4 is a 2014 first-person shooter game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. As a leading AAA publisher and developer, the company had a real opportunity to break their own mold and create something daring in terms of the protagonist and side characters, yet they’ve once again gone the path of least resistance and given players an entertaining, but standard open world game.

The formula is definitely starting to wear thin though and Ubisoft is in desperate need of learning some new tricks if they want the series to truly push forward. The bow is even better this time around and there’s no denying that exploring the world is incredibly entertaining. The combat is a raucous, visceral kick and there’s an incredible array of weapons to choose from. Yet, it’s so much fun that we’re relatively willing to give it a pass this time around. It’s a vast, dumb, testosterone-fueled action game, every bit as clichéd as the tropes Blood Dragon was making fun of. Far Cry 4 doesn’t hold up to intellectual scrutiny. The odd thing about all this criticism is that it only really affected us when we stopped to think about the game. So, while there are a ton more side missions, there’s nothing in Far Cry 4 that you haven’t already seen and done before. The game even still has Ajay taking over radio towers to expand the map. There are some nifty little updates-the mini-copter, avalanches, and the option to replay base attacks whenever you want, among other things-but this feels less like a sequel and more like a half step up.

At least if he had been native born and raised, there would have been some back story for how he’s a complete killing machine.įar Cry 4 is only a slight upgrade from the previous game.
FAR CRY 4 PC REVIEW HOW TO
How, for instance, does a kid from the States suddenly become a master of all weapons? How does he instinctively know how to kill a man from behind with a large knife? Or fly a mini-copter, or use a wing suit, ride an elephant, or a horde of other nonsensical questions. Ubisoft plays the ethnic game as safe as possible and it’s to the detriment of logic. Yet, here we are again with a character who might be ethnically Asian, but still acts bland and pasty white in action. Ubisoft claimed they learned their lesson about bland, unlikeable, stereotypical white boy characters in Far Cry 3. The game’s writers make highly questionable use of gay stereotypes in general (the whole ‘Kyrat Fashion Week’ subplot is astounding in all the wrong ways) and the entire narrative wrapper is pretty stupid. He’s a walking, talking, blood-stained cartoon character. He’s a blond, psychotic Asian guy whom we will politely refer to as effeminate and flamboyant. It’s so hard to take Far Cry 4 seriously because every aspect of the game is just so outlandish.

Why does it take four rhino skins to craft a single wallet? The game is full of hilarious gaping holes in logic like this, but hunting isn’t really optional.
Just like Far Cry 3, the crafting mechanic is outrageously ludicrous. Killing beasts earns you both karma and the ability to craft things. In fact, there are special missions to kill “rare” animals, so-that’s right-you get extra goodies for wiping those pesky endangered species off the planet. A major part of Far Cry 4 is killing animals… lots and lots of animals.
The use of wildlife is another hold over from the last game.
