Everything else feels wasted. The station defense battles are spectacles, but not that challenging. The Yetis are intimidating, but don’t stay scary for long. With no legitimate lead into or out of the story, it’s hard to take any of it seriously. It’s definitely the biggest chunk of extra content to come out of the game, but not the best.

- 6.8The new setting is an exhilarating wingsuit playground of snowy peaks and icy valleys, and the breakneck defence missions force you to make clever use of all the game’s many weapons and tactics. And the yetis are cool, when they decide to show up. But, really, it’s just more Far Cry 4. That’s totally fine, but I was expecting something a bit more ambitious. And more yetis.
- 7.6While Valley of the Yetis fails to provide a truly engaging story or a convincing reason why we should go through the hassle of unlocking our weapons and skills for a second time, its new defensive missions and monsters add some depth to the already excellent core gameplay of Far Cry 4. Despite not having much to do outside of the campaign new defense missions, exploring the Valley of the Yetis is good fun - both as the hunter and as the hunted.
- Valley of the Yetis is easily Far Cry 4's best post-release offering. It's small enough where you can see everything it has to offer in a reasonable amount of time, but large enough where you feel like you're getting a whole new Far Cry 4 experience. It's more Far Cry 4 in the best way, and there's enough new content here where nothing feels like a retread – it feels like an extension.
- 7.0Fortunately, even though you'll be repeating yourself when it comes to character progression, all of the parts that made Far Cry 4 so great the first time around are present and correct. ...Valley of the Yetis feels like a medley of Far Cry 4's greatest hits, and while none of the missions stray particularly far from the established formula, you'll still have fun scavenging for weapons and building your defences, which at least makes up for the disappointing Yetis.
- 7.5Para redondear la idea: Valley of the Yetis es una expansión en el sentido más formal de la palabra. ¿Es tan buena como Blood Dragon? No. ¿Vale la pena? Sí. Es decir, si ya terminaron Far Cry 4 y quedaron con ganas de más, éste es un buen lugar para encontrarlo. El ambiente cambia un poco, también las mecánicas ―la historia no es especial, pero es aceptable― y no hay nada como trepar a un yeti, apuñalarlo y después sacarle el corazón, aunque después de hacerlo unas 18 veces deja de ser mágico.
