If you played Far Cry 3 at all, you'll feel right at home with the latest installment as the fourth game in the series doesn't change much. Sure, Brody may have been a dude-bro who went from afraid of even holding a gun to rampant killing sprees to quickly, but there was a sense of desperation to his character and his quest for his friends, with Far Cry 4, Ajay just seems like he's doing it because it's what his parents wanted, like, "I guess I'll get involved in this civil war, it's what mom and dad wanted!" It's a pretty basic story, and follows the path of Far Cry 3 pretty well but Ajay is a decidedly one dimensional character compared to Jason Brody of the previous game. Minn sends his troops to stop Ajay's bus and bring him back to his fortress and Ajay begins to align with a group known as The Golden Path to usurp Minn's reign. Ajay's mother was a freedom fighter in the region before she died, a fact that isn't lost on Pagan Minn, the country's eccentric king with a passion for violence. Still, fans of shooters, adventure games or just plain fun shouldn't miss their flight to Kyrat.įar Cry 4 follows the story of Ajay Ghale, who returns to his home country of Kyrat to carry out his recently deceased mother's final wishes to spread her ashes at a place called Lakshmana. Far Cry 4 is similarly packed with gorgeous action set pieces and jaw droopingly fun moments, it just lacks an interesting enough story to make you care why you're doing any of it. He's the friend who convinced you that the last minute trip to Vegas on a single tank of gas was a great idea and that you could definitely take that guy in the bar. If you're looking for a fun and seemingly limitless shooter to pick up this holiday and pass the time, you can't go wrong with Far Cry 4.įar Cry 4 is a lot like that one friend that everyone has the one that's able to convince you to do some incredibly stupid but fun things even against your better judgement. The story may not be the most inventive but it never seems to get too much in the way. It all gets even better when you invite a friend in for co-op and you put both of your destructive minds together. You can tackle the main story, hunt, go exploring for treasure, go boating and even go mountain climbing. Run, drive, swim and yes, even hang glide around the island, shooting bad guys and interacting with wild life in effort to restore balance to the region. If you've played Far Cry 3, you'll feel right at home with Far Cry 4. Packed with things to see and do, Kyrat puts Rock Island from Far Cry 3 to shame both in scope and size. Much like the Grand Theft Auto series brings it's worlds to life, so has the team at Ubisoft with Far Cry 4.
