Far Cry 4 was one of the dominant shooters of 2014, and it was GT's Shooter of the year. We've been given various add-ons to the core campaign like weapons, missions, and modes, but Valley of the Yetis is the first expansion to enter completely new territory.

There truly is nothing quite like Far Cry. The sandbox shooter series has seen random tourists become Rambo-like killing machines that tear a bloody path across tropical locals, and this latest addition to the series continues that trend.

But there's a reason Ubisoft pared back Far Cry 4's story - it knew it was never going to be the main attraction. Far Cry 4 does all the things that its predecessor did and more - more weapons, more vehicles, more modes, more ground to cover - so if all you're looking for is a big old wide open...

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.

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

Occasional bad mission; Dull PvP multiplayer; Glitches

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.

The Far Cry series has come a long way since the days of Jack Carver and genetically engineered monsters. He was a game protagonist from an earlier time. He had a dark ex-military past, his goal was to rescue a damsel in distress, and the islands where he plied his trade existed solely to serve the...

Action games often struggle to reconcile storytelling with killing. A narrative of ordinary heroism, for instance, can't easily accommodate a game's average mortality rate. The everyman with the machete is hard to relate to after he's slain several thousand people, even if thrust into a...

Far Cry 4 is a stunning iteration in the series that manages to bring forth great gameplay, superb visuals, and a pretty good story with a fabulous villain. While the competitive multiplayer may not feel all that great and there are some lackluster story missions, overall you'll have a great time...
