“A fun Far Cry game (3 is still the best)...but the cracks were beginning to show. Future Far Cry games are drowned in the Ubisoft formula we're all very, very sick of.”
“[h2]Far Cry 4, a beautiful setting, an incredible antagonist, but with bugs throughout the entire game[/h2] Coming into this after playing Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4 feels like a more polished version of the same formula… but…”
“Helping two clowns overthrow a fruity dictator simulator, was more fun then I expected”

“Far Cry went from being a bit of a tech demo and joke of a game to being a very solid open-world game between versions 1 and 3. Far Cry 4 is a continuation of that and as such, it is becoming formulaic. That's both good…”
“I bought this game back in 2021, and it took me almost 5 years to finally finish it xD. It was just sitting in my library all this time, and honestly, I regret not playing it earlier. I finally completed the campaign,…”

“The Himalayan backdrop, environment, story, and gameplay were frankly AMAZING. It's unbelieveable that ubisoft made such gems once upon a time.”

“Nice game and running good with Kubuntu”
“After you escape the first screen then it gets much easier, i think. The game theme is cool, man have I got killed by more animals then gun fights. Then my system is set in LINUX and the game runs well with my hardware.…”
“Good old classic Far Cry at its finest. Really loved Kyrat and the story was great. But I do hate collecting those masks and lost letters. 9/10 for me. The ending is depressing and I love the topic of how Kyrat will…”

“Worst Far Cry ever to date. It also doesn't activate your achievements so no point of playing it. I will play just to finish but I don't recommend buying it. 4/10”

“Far Cry 4 — A Bigger World, but a Weaker Story Far Cry 4 is a strong continuation of the legendary Far Cry 3. The world is larger, more diverse, and filled with even more activities. Exploring Kyrat feels great, and the…”
“"Far Cry 4" begins strongly, presenting Pagan Min as a psychopathic, humorous character with a surprising level of understanding. After escaping Pagan Min, you quickly get thrown into the horrible factions, which…”

“who tf at ubisoft thought it would be a good idea to block games off after losing your old ubisoft acc yet, owning the game on steam. scummy fkking devs”
“Love it when my offline game refuses to open, Ubisoft connect is absolutely disgusting”
“As usual more Ubisoft ♥♥♥♥, dont know why i thought for a second that my experience of old back in the day with the PS3 and X360 when i didnt even had WiFi could be enhanced by playing this game on PC, of course that…”

“Extremely fun game that is better than the previous parts. The main villain is charismatic and fun to listen to, whilst the main character is also great. The collectibles do get a bit tedious (especially the 150…”
“Amazing game with incredible value and stealth mechanics. Money is too abundant and practically useless though.”
“10 hours of hunting and crafting, 1 hour of playing the story game of the year.”

“Typical Farcry experiece. If you are coming from FC3, you feel right at home. Only certain additions to the gameplay mechanincs. Too much to do while you try drive from point A to point B. You have parcels to stop,…”
“The guns in this game were fun. The map was full of useless objectives, and even the main objectives were not obvious (zoom way out on the map and "where's waldo" your way to the next one). You could only have one…”
“This is a bad game. FC3 was a great game, comparatively. The gunplay is ok, but the aim is pretty bad. There are a ton of guns to choose how you want to approach things, but there are 2 bows and one of them is garbage.…”

“Sometimes you go on a holiday towards what seems like an escapade to a boring, repetitive life, and find yourself in the middle of a civil war in a small state close to India and Nepal. Well, in that case always try to make the most of it, like improving your wasted tourist…”
— a player, Steam review · 65 hrs played“10/10 , I went to the Himalayas right after my session with this game, and i was shocked by how realistically that game captures the real-life atmosphere into a game. Every day, at each new spot, I felt like I had already been there :)”
— a player, Steam review · 13 hrs played“Similar to Far Cry 3, you encounter a villain right at the beginning of the game. The psychopathic and not only because of that unforgettable Vaas has been replaced by Pagan Min, a villain who revels in good old-fashioned violence, theatricality and eccentric suits. It is clear…”
