Surprised by the good quality
Completed the game with about 60% achivements unlocked. I will be honest I did not expect the game to be so fun. It is basically farcry 2 but without the flamethrower and a cool sniper mechanics instead. You have an open world, that doesn't really bring anything other than having some boxes with collectibles hidden here and there, but it's enjoyable to drive around, the the setting is really well designed. The graphics over all hold up really well IMO. You can see the game has it's years, but it's still looking good. The story is decent, althought there were moments where I laughed because of the delivery. If you treat it as a pulpy soldier adventure it's okey. It's really good in fullfiling that macho man power fantasy actually and I liked that a lot to be honest. As for the gameplay it's really good. The gunplay is top notch, using the sniper rifle to clear out an outpost of the bad guys from afar is very satisfiing. You also have some cool tools at your disposal, like the drone, or special ammo to scout ahead. The locations of the missions are well designed, with many paths to your objective, which I appreciated a lot. I played on the middle difficulty and it was okey for me, not insanely hard, but not too easy, there were missions that I had to take multiple tries but was never frustrated bc I felt it wasdue to my mistakes and not the game being unfair. The enemy AI is okey, there some quirks ofc, but it's nothing you can abuse, In general they will react to bodies, sounds and will spot you if you are in the open. If you are sniping them, they will take cover and try to reach you without showing themselves. I was happy with that. Now there are some bad parts as well. The game crashed on me a couple of times, but other then that I did not experienced any major bugs. Sometimes the savepoints are quite far apart and if you fail you need to retrace but it's nothing too atrocious. All in all, I will be picking up the other parts of the series :)
