I completed this game and I loved it. It started with normal story based game a ruler and have dictatorship character showing his name on money of Kyrat. Far Cry 4 takes place in a fictional country called Kyrat, but it's a place that feels very familiar to the real world. It's sort of a cross between Nepal and Bhutan, but with its own fictional history - it even has its own religion. Graphics, mission and sounds played superb role describing the story.

Story is kind of relatable to real life scenarios like traders moving for trade, asking for help or can take you to Himalayas. I loved auto and truck visualization inspired from locally livelihood of these countries. In a single game a came across various mode of transports like car, jeeps, snow-scooter, boat, super-boat, paraglides, buzzer (missing plane and helicopter).

The mountains experience with oxygen level count was interesting. Experience enhances when flying between mountains with parachute. Keeping white clothes for enemies in Himalayas and red/blue in country wide makes good shooting experience. Overall shooting can be improved with gunshots or headshots.

The best part is Shangiri-La - A path to heaven that describes in their native language Hindi. This was lovely part where you could feel hindi in the game. Including other amazing things like religious moments aka shrine, racing, fashion, tree plantation, saving villagers from animals and collecting animal skin (worst for me but kind of enjoyed).

The game mission titles are also inspired on story like Kyrat, Himalayas, shangari-la. Overall game is enjoyable and I spent almost 25 hours and completed all quests (leaving letters/masks/propaganda). You can give a try to play this game for getting Indian environment experience.
