When I hear the words ‘Far Cry' mentioned, memories of 2012 come flooding back. Memories such as walking through luscious forest in fear of being mauled by a nearby wandering tiger, driving along rocky paths at breakneck speeds you just wouldn't dare to do in real-life, to taking down those...

A lively; vast and very graphically rich world of Kyrat with lots to uncover; Plenty of dynamic and structured missions to keep you focused/distracted; Flying the mini copter vehicle alone is worthy of the entry fee

Eagles! Those pesky air-attacking eagles; You can spend hours outside of the main campaign; Auto drive AI is terrible and some enemy AI could be improved

Being a stranger in a strange land has always been one of the core conceits of the Far Cry series. As a foreigner in an unfamiliar country, you explore the landscape and learn about its varying cultures just as the protagonist does, helping to ground you in their shoes, the world and its story with...

Far Cry 4 is an FPS set in the fictional region of Kyrat. You play as Ajay Ghale who is returning to his home country of Kyrat in order to scatter the ashes of his deceased mother. However shortly after arriving in the region, your bus is attacked by Amaka government Zulu forces and Ajay, along with...

, which might disappoint some long-time fans of the series looking for their usual dose of innovation.

Beautiful; Chaotic fun; Smart gameplay additions; Huge amount of content

Occasional bad mission; Dull PvP multiplayer; Glitches

Ubisoft has been quite ambitious to release three open world games within days of one another, and so far, we at Action Trip have been fairly pleased with the Assassin's Creed games that the publisher/developer has released.

Beautiful scenery; large open world with seemingly unending side quests; and a fully interactive and immersive environment make Far Cry 4 one of the best shooters of the year

The assumptions required for the story weaken it overall; the co-op occasionally feels to be more of a necessity than an option; and the eagles dropping out of nowhere to smack you around is just cheap (damn those eagles)

At the start of Far Cry 4 , the despotic yet not wholly despicable Pagan Min invites you to simply sit at his table and eat. You don't have to join the rebellious Golden Path in fighting him for control of your native homeland, as you can indulge in the crab rangoon instead.

Far Cry 4 does little to improve on the Far Cry 3 formula but there are enough additions and fun to be had to warrant a purchase.

Badgers and tigers and bears, oh my! Far Cry is back and deadlier than ever on the latest generation of consoles. What this iteration may lack in new features, it absolutely makes up for with improved content and a beautiful world.

There's no denying that Far Cry 3 was one of the great games of the last generation of consoles and Ubisoft absolutely nailed the feeling of open world, crazy adventuring, coupled with a strong and well driven narrative. Hell even the psycho was, well, a believable psycho.

Far Cry 4 certainly features a lot to love, but Ubi's continued buffet-style approach to content has the game wearing out its welcome far earlier than it should. Still, if you're willing to adopt a pick-and-choose approach to its unbelievable amount of stuff to do, you should have a good time-just...
