Still good in 2025

The good old 2000s shoter experience with it's slight jankieness and a lot of charm. The developers are from Germany. The English voice acting is what it is. After the first few levels you won't think to much about it... at least I didn't. It is most of the time more a stealth shooter because you die very fast if you get spotted. Don't expect modern conveniences. Listen to what others tell you in game to figure stuff out. Not a lot of hand holding here. Sometimes very strange enemy placements but that is fine with me. Let that guy from the other side of the map have a rocket launcher on a tower and blow me up. Sometimes you can manage to attract enemies to fight each other. You can acctually hide in the bushes here. The levels are large and varied. Remembering where you saw some ammo or health earlier will pay off. I got 5.1 Surround working with Alchemy on Win10. I think I found that through Deus Ex sound restoration. You can only change the difficulty level mid game with developer mode activated. Found a guide by BattleMaster in Steam Forums. To do that: - Settings Button right next to the "Play" button - Configure - Features - Duplicate the Default FarCry.exe (should be in \Bin32\FarCry.exe - ad Argument "-devmode" (without the quotes) In game open the console, this varies by your language. On German Keyboard it is "Zirkumflex" next to Number 1, above "Tabulator" Here the guide from BattleMaster:" Start the game and load into your save. Open the console with the ~ key (the key to the left of the 1 key, no matter your keyboard layout). You can close the console again with the same key. To see your current difficulty level, type "#Hud:AddMessage("Current difficulty: "..game_DifficultyLevel)", again without the outermost quotes. You can change your difficulty level by typing "#game_DifficultyLevel = 1", and replace 1 with the number of your desired difficulty level. If you would like to disable devmode again (recommended if you ever play online), type "#Game:Save()" to save your game, then quit the game and remove the "-devmode" from the launch options. When you now restart the game, the newest save should have the changed difficulty."

Good graphics, fun, but lacking plotwise

Even today, the graphics look pretty good, but personally, having played Far Cry Instincts on the original Xbox, I think that game was much better in terms of plot and overall atmosphere. Sure, this is not a game you might want to play for the plot, and even the Xbox version is quite cliché plot-wise, but still. The PC version might be much more impressive from a technical POV, but I feel that it definitely does not have a soul. The stages sometimes feel like a hodgepodge without anything to actually unite them, and the enemies you will encounter during the final levels of the game feel too out of place. Yep, it does have sandbox elements, but I feel like this aspect of the game is hugely overrated, since you still have to complete objectives in a certain order, and given that the game uses a checkpoint system, you will be using them as much as possible since you'll have no desire whatsoever to lose your progress, considering how challenging some portions of the game can be even when played on easy (some of the enemies will kill you in just one or two hits during the final phases of the game). Is it overall still a good game? Yes, sure, it is still quite fun, but frankly, I feel like it's slightly overrated. The antagonists feel pretty generic, with the main villain being the standard tough guy in a cowboy hat, whereas the one found in the Xbox version was menacing or downright scary. I know you'll be wondering why I even gave this game 4 stars, but I do believe this game is definitely worth it, especially if bought at a discounted price.

The first!... and the last of its saga?

Far Cry is undoubtlessly one of those cases where the idea behind it was scrapped and repurposed. Basically, the saga kept the name as a commercial move: for attracting the players base who grew fond of the game. Question is: was it worth it to change completely the formula from the original? Short answer: maybe? The first entry of the usually open world franchise is exactly the opposite: its level design, while granting the player the opportunity to visit large maps, is clearly thought for the classical single mission campaign, which was the most common practice back in the day. Speaking of common, Far cry does sometimes something seen rarely, and other times it follow the mainstream ( of its time, mind you. never pull out a game from its temporal context). Gameplay wise, its a shooter from early 2000', and that really about it: common weapons, common enemies ( for its genre). Although, to be frank, the shooting is done with more of a strategical idea behind it, albeit the player suffers a quick death due to the excellent aim of the enemies or to the ambush zones ( almost 60 percent of the game). Another thing worth mentioning is that the game has a problem ( it's not a feature, I consider a serious problem) in dealing with its unfair difficult spikes ( which again I must remind you that are inherently a bad attributes, but it can be a detriment for the whole experience when does not follow a well made pace). For other things: the story is unworthy of mention ( sometimes its actually hilarious how the ''edginess'' of the protagonist was handle), and the soundtrack is nothing to write home about. Graphics wise, it's one aspect that must be put into context: for its time, magnificent, but for a more contemporary point of view: decent even now. So not so bad. So, was it worth deviate from the path of the original? yes and no . The game is perfectly enjoyable for nostalgia gamers and retro, for all the rest? a mild yes. still worth playing. But nothing major.

Difficulty is too hard

Difference between challengin & hard. Normal mode is unbearably hard - To the point that It is just not fun. Gunplay is great, gameplay has potential... But sneaking is not an option @ all & GL with trying to fight head on.
