If you're familiar with the Far Cry series, this game has a great combination of features that made the previous games a lot of fun, with a few new surprises. Some critics have pointed out that much of the game play was too similar to Far Cry 3. I can see that, but it's not a negative for me. I loved Far Cry 3, so experiencing some of the best aspects of that game in a new setting is big plus for me. The controls and options are fairly complex and detailed, so to be able to carry some of the functionality over from a familiar game saves time in learning, and you can just get right into it. I like how they've simplified the ability syringe system. I found that clunky in the previous game, and so it discouraged me from using it. In this game, I find myself using the syringes a lot more, which gives me more tactical options. Some of the new features, such as the helicopter, grappling hook, being able to shoot while driving and riding elephants add a new dimension to this game that really draws you in. The setting is fantastic and detailed. Probably my favorite aspect is that this is a seriously long and detailed game, but you can chip away at it with a pace of your choosing. What I mean is that if you've got a few hours, you can really immerse yourself, but if you've only got 30 minutes or so, it's pretty easy to find a short mission or just explore for a while. There's much to do and see. If you're a fan of the series, you have to play this game. But even if you've not played the others, you won't feel like you need to do any catching up, as the story and characters are mostly unique. A good combination of action, exploration and decision-making makes this an adventure game for a wide range of players. Finally, I have not done any of the co-op or online versions, so can't comment there. Looking forward to that once I finish the solo campaign!Read full review
