Far Cry 2 is one of my favourite games of all time, just behind the STALKER series, which I hope will be coming to GOG soon so that more people can enjoy its strange beauty. Some people say that this game is boring, but like all open-world games it comes down to how you play. If I were to traipse through Morrowind or Skyrim killing everything with the same spell or weapon, it would get pretty lame. In Far Cry 2, you've got to take the initiative to make your own fun and challenge yourself — and when you do, the game will reward you. It's true that there are many other problematic design decisions in the game, but if you like thinking about games as a medium and not just playing them for fun, then you will probably love Far Cry 2 as I do. Even the flaws in this game strengthen and support its central theme. For what that central theme is, I leave it to the player to decide.
