It was pretty great. When it came out.
Far Cry. Interesting game. On the one hand it lead to Crysis, a truly unforgettable shooter, and on the other hand it lead to a shooter-RPG hybrid called Far Cry 2. But what is it as an individual title? It is primordial. My experience of Far Cry when I first played it (I dunno, around 2004?) was remarkably similar to my first experience of Crysis. (In fact my playthrough of FC probably informed my approach to Crysis entirely) That is to say, I crept around the islands engaging in Operation Flashpoint-range firefights. Far Cry doesn't have a stealth mechanic. At least, I don't think it does, not during the opening sunlit levels. I insisted on crouching and sneaking around behind bushes for dozens of minutes, just because I loved the graphics, the atmosphere, and the setting (which at the time was heavily reminiscent of the GoT of the early 00s; LOST) but I was often spied by enemies through those bushes if my route of self-denial took me into their vision cones. Regardless, I created hours and hours of fun distraction for myself and loved exploring the lush, beautiful island environments. I had a blast, I see the more glowing reviews are remembering this moment too, but in 2019 I can assert for you, potential buyer, that it is no longer such a blast in this sense. Why? Because Crysis does it better. If you want to play this game like a kind of poor man's Halo, you can. If you want to do what I did and try to turn it into a first person sneaker, you kind of can (see above). If you want it to be a really great game, in the context of it's genre as it has grown into since release, you won't get what you expect. I heartily recommend Crysis, an all-time classic, and Far Cry 2, which I (maybe controversially) consider to be the best game related to this original title (no games were made after Far Cry 2, as far as I'm concerned). I do not think Far Cry is going to be as good as the more contemporary titles that are available to us in 2019.
