Fantastic game. I took my time with it. Gave me a sense of adventure. One of my favourite games on PS4

The winner of the overall GiN Game of the Year, Far Cry 4, continues to improve and expand. Whereas the first DLC, Escape From Durgesh Prison, brought us a perma-death 30 minute thrill ride which could be extended by activities during the brief adventure, Valley of the Yetis offers more of a...

Far Cry 4 is an amazing game, although the story isn't the most thrilling, it keeps you entertained as you run, gun, sneak and fly through a beautiful Kyrat landscape. For me it got a little repetitive towards the end, but I had pretty much completed everything in the game, so it's not a big issue.

It's hard to believe that the Far Cry series started ten years ago with a tropical island and a story about mutants. As a series, it's travelled a long way since then, from the more serious overto

Fantastic characterisation; Visually incredible; Will make you feel guilty; and thus care; like no other game

The best part of Far Cry 3 was the game's massive tropical setting and the sense of total freedom. The snow-capped mountainous landscape of Kyrat delivers the same thrill, but also layers it on top of a treacherous terrain filled with dizzying cliffs and unpredictable topography.

Far Cry 4 offers an amazing environment to traverse and explore; It features ultra-satisfying first-person-shooter gameplay along with new vehicles and equipment; And yes, you can ride elephants

The main character is underwhelming and it has a nearly identical game structure to Far Cry 3; including cookie-cutter enemy design and archetypes

A wonderful open world playground to explore alone or co-operatively; Pagan Min is a superb villain in an enjoyable story; Verticality of the world changes the gameplay for the better; Visuals are often sublime; Tons to do and collect; with a map editor to add more longevity

Some glitches and pop-in; as well as poor checkpointing and difficulty spikes; Multiplayer isn't anything special; It's a little bit too familiar for Far Cry 3 players
