Far Cry®

I had a fun experience but didn't realize how hard the game was. The game would bug out here and there, but for the most part, it ran smoothly.

Played on Normal difficulty with FarCry Addon Mod version 1.99. I have to say, as much as I enjoy seeing where a long running series came from, this game surprised me. It holds up - it's fun, and lengthy, but consistently gives you new things to do which doesn't wear out its welcome. The vehicle sections don't suck, the escort missions don't suck, the guns are fun and have multiple modes of fire and the pacing is really, REALLY consistent. I know this series continues but it's sort of baffling to me that we so reverently remember Halo, but people tend to think that Far Cry starts with FC 3. That being said. The story is utterly BONKERS and I don't think I'll be surprised at all to see all of this plot completely thrown out in the next entries, holy moly. It doesn't take itself seriously, at least. It has shades of Just Cause, Half-Life, Goldeneye, and while it certainly isn't better than those titles, it holds its own. Recommended

It is a fun game that can get very hard after a few levels. I like it how they have finally solved the enemies shooting through walls problem.

I was driven to try this simply due to my love of Farcry 3 and everything that followed. I have really enjoyed it; it reminds me of Return to Castle Wolfenstein. It's got a classic cheesy plot with some deliciously bad acting. Only had to drop a star because there are a few bugs, mainly around being trapped in collision in such a way that you have to restart.

This is probably the FPS game that changed my perspective on FPS open world shooters! The enemy AI is simply fantastic. They will attack, take cover, flank you & force you out of hiding spots. Simply wonderful to go back to this masterpiece.
