   The game is actually really good. It performs really well, and it is a lot of fun. If you enjoyed Far Cry 3, you will like this one aswell. And well, unlike AC Unity this one actually works. ;)… Expand

The main thing people are saying about it is that it's Far Cry 3.5, which is definitely not true. I have played Far Cry 3 when it first dropped, beat the story and all the side missions and collected all the collectibles and I thought it was amazing and was really excited for the next iteration, and it is safe to say I wasn't disappointed at all. This game has the best graphics I have ever seen in a video game, even better than Metro LL in my opinion. The gameplay is amazing with tons of things to do from hunting animals for upgrades to collecting plants for syringes to killing thugs for.... Justice! The environment is also the best I have ever seen, you can randomly see alligators killing deer near the lakes to wolves hunting yaks to even eagles hunting pigs AND FLYING AWAY WITH THEM! The game gives you the option for stealth gameplay (which is very polished and robust) to action packed fun. The story and the characters are the main downfall of the game but they are still serviceable. Overall this game is a must, especially if you liked Far Cry 3.… Expand

Its a shame the story isn't more engaging but the side quests and sheer amount of exploration alone make up for that lost aspect in some ways. It is an enjoyable game. Its fun, its witty, and the elephant combat sequences are great but I was left wanting more. More out of the story, more innovation, and more reason to care about what was going on around me. Hopefully Ubisoft can give us more in the inevitable Far Cry 5.… Expand

In total I nowHaving played Far Cry 3 the anticipation for Far Cry 4 was high. After playing the game for some hours however I felt let down. In total I now played 30 hours of Far Cry 4 and have it de-installed, while with Far Cry 3 I played almost 100 hours before de-installing.
   
   Story
   Far Cry 3 had been commented on for having a poor story, but the story of Far Cry 4 is worse by a million times. Far Cry 4 has the story depth of an average Steven Segal, Sylvester Stallone or
   Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. If you only care about action and not about story than you wont be bothered. If you like to have some sense of emerging into a story than this is total crap.
   
   Gameplay
   Gameplay is exactly the same as Far Cry 3. Some things slightly changed as you can read in other reviews. Some weapons are added, different side missions, but the core gameplay is exactly the same. Wish they changed the need for the skinning of animals from the start. It was a nice touch in Far Cry 3, but going to that again just bothers people. It's just how fast can I get to all the animals to have proper gear. The expansion of the wallet, ammunition and weapon belt is almost mandatory before going very far into the game.
   
   Online
   For me the replay value of Far Cry 3 was in the ability to go online and play coop against AI with other players and go through a level together. This has now been taken out of the game and you get a default FPS online environment which is the same as with other FPS games. For me this is absolutely a big negative as a really enjoyed the online gameplay in Far Cry 3. In Far Cry 4 the gameplay is nothing new to someone playing BF or CoD and is even worse than those competitors.
   
   Coop
   Far Cry 4 has coop gameplay in the open world, which was pretty much the only thing new that I enjoyed. The coop gameplay is however far from what it could have been. It will only be possible to do side missions with you coop partner and no main missions. Taking down a fort is fun with a coop partner, it doesn't really feel as much fun as going through a mission together. The missions is where the chaos and the mayhem are biggest and most fun. One of the last missions where you encounter a lot of opposition would be great to play coop. This isn't possible however. What I also didn't get is why taking a fort together isn't taken into account in the game for the person joining. Like this is feels like duplicate work. Also freeing towers isn't taken to the joining players game. Coop was nice but could have been much better.… Expand

It was too easy and the hand holding was unbearable. I was going to skip Far Cry 4 and someone told me they QTEs are gone and you can disable all the hand holding items (minimap, etc...).
   
   This game is WAY too easy, you can't make it hard. It's so easy, it's boring. I thought it might get better. Then it happened. I recovered some supplies and suddenly I have 2 minutes and 10 seconds to get them somewhere they needed to go.
   
   I uninstalled Uplay and both FC3 and FC4. I'll keep Far Cry 2, it was the best of the bunch.… Expand
