Review of Far Cry 4

Far Cry 4 (2014 Video Game)
7/10
So close, but so far away
24 November 2014
Some might say it's Far Cry 3.5 or Far Cry 3.1. But to me, it's just a glorified mod for Far Cry 3. The animations are same, the characters are the same, the missions are the same, the gameplay is the same. These might get old for some.

I liked the game very much in comparison with other Ubisoft releases this year. I didn't notice any bug or graphics glitch. The graphic design was amazing. A beautiful vast open world with so many mysteries. Many people worried that absence of Vaas is a downer. And yes it is. But Pagan Min is also a fantastic antagonist. Ubisoft advertised him cleverly, saying he is "Anti-Vaas". Where the truth is Pagan is a lot like Vaas. The story is touchy, but felt cheap in a way.

For some reasons Far Cry 4 annoyed me a lot. For starter it depicts Nepal in a wrong way. Vehicles in Nepal drive on the left. The developers completely got the design of autoricksaws wrong. And Kalinga should speak Sanskrit. The Radio Free Kyrat is the most annoying part. That RJ is the worst RJ in the history of the world. I miss Brian Tyler's musical score.

Other than those, Far Cry 4 is a regular Ubisoft open world game. With the obvious game structure.

Final Verdict: 79%. If you feel like you couldn't get enough of Far Cry 3, then this game might not be for you. The campaign is kinda depressing.
