FAR CRY 4 REVIEW SERIES
You seriously won’t regret it, especially if you are a fan of any of the previous games in the series or are a bit of an open world adventure type.įar Cry 4 also gives you the chance to take in any, or all, of the campaign with a friend – co-op style! Aside from the very rare occasion when I haven’t been able to access the Ubisoft servers, this works near on flawlessly and it’s a joy to take in the story or hit an Outpost with a friend in tow. The best way of finding out about it though is by going out there, purchasing Far Cry 4 and getting involved for yourself. The campaign Ubisoft have given us is seriously big and without ruining stories or spending many many hours making this review stupidly long, can’t even begin to be told fully.

It’s all well and good flying high and getting where you want quickly, but in the long run, it may just be safer to slum it on the ground.
FAR CRY 4 REVIEW UPGRADE
And without a big money bag, you won’t be able to carry much Kyrati cash which in turn will see you struggling around with a rather useless weapon instead of the fully customised semi-auto beast that you could otherwise have.Īdditionally, Far Cry 4 runs with a rather complex but simple to use skill tree which gives the chance to upgrade your senses, your health, your skills and your all round game, but it’s only by exploring each and every nook and cranny, liberating every outpost and climbing every telecommunications tower that will see you be able to make the most of your skills. Much like the hunting that took place in Far Cry 3, it’s a pretty essential part of the game as without the clean skins that you’ll get from a decent kill, you won’t be able to upgrade your tools, your pouches or indeed your money bag. Once you manage to get yourself airborne (and I’ll let you figure that out without ruining any story for you), inspecting the areas below you are much easier…and much much quicker.īut, and yes, there’s a but, as take to the air too much and you won’t be able to go out on the hunt….either for Pagan Min’s guards or indeed the wildlife that covers much of Kyrat. Those mountains also make traversal a little tricky, especially in the first few hours of the game as one wrong step or misplaced turn of a vehicle steering wheel can easily see you sliding down the cliff face, eventually ending up miles from where you wanted to be. The Himalayas are a daunting place for even the most hardened of explorers, with exploration possible both on the ground, in the air and through the many lakes that are dotted around the mountain sides. It is that sheer size however that makes it come across as a little intimidating. In fact, Far Cry 4 is so massive, both in style and size, that I’d guestimate at near on 100 hours will need to be placed in its open arms if you even wanted to think about completing every single thing on offer. As with all decent open-world sandbox style titles, Far Cry 4 is gifted a main story campaign that would eat up many hours of game time by itself, but if you put it alongside the numerous side missions, jollys around the countryside and general huge scale of exploration on offer, Ubisoft have thrown us a game that could well keep us going right into 2015 and possibly beyond. It’s thanks to Pagan Min that Ajay will get to take in the remotest of remote Himalayan places, discovering small factories, smaller villages and even smaller caves, all frequented and filled with loot, hidden masks and just the right number of NPC’s to stop things from getting boring. And Pagan Min quickly takes a bit of a liking to old Ajay, subjecting him to a bit of abuse, a bit of love and a bit of his crazy crazy ways. But Kyrat is a war torn region, one that sees the crazy, self appointed tyrannical king, Pagan Min rule over each and every citizen that may still be present. Set in Kyrat, a hidden region of the the Himalayas, Ajay Ghale has returned to his birthplace in order to fulfill his mother’s last wish to have her ashes scattered over her homeland.
