Still tons of fun in 2020
I remember seeing Far Cry for the first time not long after its release. It was magnificent. I can hardly remember any other game that showed us such a big leap in terms of graphics compared to what we were used to (well, Crysis, obviously, and surprise, it's the same company). Back then I could barely pass the few first levels (disadvantages of being a kid), and I've decided to finally do something about it. Being a more seasoned gamer nowadays, I didn't fool around and chose the hardest difficulty right away. OH BOY, was it painful at first. It's a damn difficult challenge, but a fair one nonetheless. After a few quick deaths I finally adapted and managed to push through, learning the subtleties of the game mechanics and understanding how the enemy AI works. It still was hard as hell, but every time I died I knew I died because I screwed up, not because the game screwed me over. The plot is your regular FPS story with a Ramboesque showoff named Jack Carver as your main character. Still, going in Rambo at the hardest difficulty will humble you quickly. You need to sneak around and pick the enemies off one by one, or even better - wreak some havoc in one area to draw the bad guys to the noise, then silently circle around them and avoid them altogether to get to your objective. The levels offer a nice variety as well - you'll see tropical beaches with the best looking water a video game could offer in 2004, beached aircraft carriers, thick jungle with amazingly thick and detailed foliage for its time, marshes, bunkers, volcanoes - you won't be bored by the scenery. Far Cry is all around one of the most solid FPS games you can find - there's hardly anything to moan about. Still extremely enjoyable and satisfying over 15 years after release.
