The best Far Cry
I've played Far Cry 2 through 5, and this is the only one I come back to. It's harder, it's a more consistent experience, and it's much less "gamey". All the subsequent Far Cry games have an inverted difficulty curve. They start out pretty normal, then by the end when you've "skilled up" and got all the best weapons, you can't be stopped. FC2 gets harder no matter what gear you get. If you don't actually enjoy the gunplay, run and gun, fight your way across the map experience, this is not for you. The map never becomes safe. All patrols and checkpoints constantly respawn and are constantly hostile. Traversing the map is part of the game and it only gets harder. You need a car to cross areas, and you have to fight, stealth or try to race through - but the AI is hard and aggressive, they will pursue you, flank you, shoot mortars at you, snipe you, set fire to the building you are in... Weapons degrade, especially if you take them swimming. Then they jam at inconvenient times. This applies to all weapons taken from enemies. This mechanic completely disappears in later games, but it changes the game a lot. You can do missions and pay to get access to decent weapons, but you can grab a launcher or sniper rifle early on and it's pretty good. The plot is OK and the setting is great. So in theory you're dropped in to do an assassination of an arms dealer, but you get drawn into the conflict. You don't join a side, you're an interloper, everyone shoots at you. You have to do some good things, but only because you need malaria medication. Every other thing you do just makes things worse. There's other mercenaries who you can work with, and who can save you from death - every character you don't play, you will instead see in game - and they can die in missions or when saving you. Basically it comes down to this - Do you actually enjoy the combat and exploration of a Far Cry game? If so, this has the most of it. If instead you like the RPG elements, not for you.
