The first!... and the last of its saga?
Far Cry is undoubtlessly one of those cases where the idea behind it was scrapped and repurposed. Basically, the saga kept the name as a commercial move: for attracting the players base who grew fond of the game. Question is: was it worth it to change completely the formula from the original? Short answer: maybe? The first entry of the usually open world franchise is exactly the opposite: its level design, while granting the player the opportunity to visit large maps, is clearly thought for the classical single mission campaign, which was the most common practice back in the day. Speaking of common, Far cry does sometimes something seen rarely, and other times it follow the mainstream ( of its time, mind you. never pull out a game from its temporal context). Gameplay wise, its a shooter from early 2000', and that really about it: common weapons, common enemies ( for its genre). Although, to be frank, the shooting is done with more of a strategical idea behind it, albeit the player suffers a quick death due to the excellent aim of the enemies or to the ambush zones ( almost 60 percent of the game). Another thing worth mentioning is that the game has a problem ( it's not a feature, I consider a serious problem) in dealing with its unfair difficult spikes ( which again I must remind you that are inherently a bad attributes, but it can be a detriment for the whole experience when does not follow a well made pace). For other things: the story is unworthy of mention ( sometimes its actually hilarious how the ''edginess'' of the protagonist was handle), and the soundtrack is nothing to write home about. Graphics wise, it's one aspect that must be put into context: for its time, magnificent, but for a more contemporary point of view: decent even now. So not so bad. So, was it worth deviate from the path of the original? yes and no . The game is perfectly enjoyable for nostalgia gamers and retro, for all the rest? a mild yes. still worth playing. But nothing major.
