Far Cry 4 is more of what made Far Cry 3 a great game, and that’s OK. So long as Ubisoft doesn’t get too comfortable here. The franchise probably needs an engine upgrade for the next iteration as some aspects of the game feel a little antiquated. Gameplay wise though, they’ve got a good formula, that works, but Far Cry 4 is more of a side step rather than forward progress. That doesn’t make this tale of tourism gone awry any less enjoyable.
Far Cry 4 is a great game that just feels like a lot more of the same. Granted as I said earlier, it has been just long enough since the last one to drag me right back into the mix. I hope they take note though and really go outside the box for the next game. Again feel free to use my idea and make it an island full of dinosaurs, then I will completely forgive the rest of the mechanics feeling like more of the same.
All of this is wrapped in the same sort of nice-looking visuals that you saw in the previous game. It's a well-rendered world with a good draw distance and foliage that is as fun to hide in as it is to burn. It runs well on both PS4 and Xbox One. It also runs great on PC, where the higher potential resolution and better image quality really stands out. That's the version to play, if you have a PC that's capable of running it properly.
