Not as ground breaking as Far Cry 3, but it does everything a little bit better.

Pagan Min is a really charismatic villain.

Setting is spectacular and the graphics are beautiful.

Far Cry 4 é, sem dúvida, o último jogo da franquia que verdadeiramente captura a
essência que define um título Far Cry. Considero que apenas Far Cry 3 e Far Cry 4
conseguiram manter-se fiéis aos padrões estabelecidos pela série, enquanto tudo
que veio depois são cópias malfeitas e erros grotescos.

Visualmente, Far Cry 4 supera muitos dos problemas de seu antecessor e os aprimora
de forma surpreendente. A Ubisoft conseguiu criar um mundo aberto muito mais
vívido, repleto de conteúdo vasto. As cutscenes continuam impressionantes, e mais
uma vez somos apresentados a um vilão marcante.

O jogo mantém o sistema de combate característico da franquia, oferecendo uma
árvore de habilidades interessante e uma ampla variedade de novas armas para os
jogadores explorarem.

Pagan Min, o antagonista de Far Cry 4, é uma figura que fica gravada na memória,
assim como Vaas, seu predecessor em Far Cry 3. Embora sejam personagens
completamente diferentes, ambos personificam o ideal de verdadeiros vilões. Pagan
Min não é necessariamente superior a Vaas; ele é um vilão consciente de sua
maldade, determinado a impor sua vontade a qualquer custo. Enquanto Vaas era
um louco em busca de destruição indiscriminada, é evidente que sua presença teve
um impacto muito maior sobre Jason do que Pagan Min sobre Ajay.

Deixando de lado a comparação, Far Cry 4 apresenta uma narrativa incrivelmente
envolvente, com um ritmo empolgante que se mantém do início ao fim. A
capacidade do jogador de tomar decisões que influenciam indiretamente o curso
da história é algo que me fascina profundamente.

Em relação à trilha sonora, Far Cry 4 está no nível "ok", sem músicas verdadeiramente
marcantes como em outros jogos da franquia. Nesse aspecto, ele passa
despercebido quando comparado aos demais, mas ainda assim consegue sustentar
a atmosfera do jogo de forma competente.

Man I love pagan min I kinda like him a lil bit more than vaas ik ngl but that's only cus he fruity with it and he had the same effect on me as vaas like how you gon write this kinda consistency for your villains and still not learn to give em like 2 minutes of screentime man that's crazy but yeah I hate the golden path tho ion know if like it's a 4d chess move and there purposely like that annoying and unlikeable on purpose like for the fuck of it or too make you like pagan min even more but either way I'm still dealing these annoying ass charcters at the end of the day so like yeah not that fun but the combat and grinding and allat is way better in this game fo sure like air traversel still feels the best in this game than all the other far cry's like it's just got the sauce also really like the gun selection in this one specifically ion know just felt like mentioning that but yeah great game 9/10

the game begs for a mission replay system. having something similar to GTA 5 would be perfect.

although I was a bit let down by the ending, the more I think about the game's nuanced take on war and rebellion, the more I think this game was ahead of its time. The gameplay can become a bit repetitive (I barely touched the "mini" side missions), but is fun enough and keeps giving you more guns and perks to improve your skills. It's definitely not a game that should be brushed off just because of the game that came before, as in many ways it exceeds the highs that game had.

For how cheap you can get this game nowadays, it's worth a shot.

Far Cry 4 is lauded as a game that didn't try too much by its community. It is noted as "too safe" and "too samey" by many, yet I cannot for the life of me see as to why this is the case. The Far Cry 4 I played was a grand improvement to the last 3 games in the series in pretty much every department. The gameplay loop is much more tight, the levels and open world activities are actually built without the "one size fits all" mentality that plagued FC3's early game with the added benefit that it ties into the game's narrative. Even speaking on that narrative, this game had the unwieldy task of making a fictional culture based on actual Nepalese and Himalayan culture, while also finding a fine ground in its worlds politics between multiple characters and personalities, and it did so with flying colors.

Far Cry 4 unlike its predecessors is a game about rebellion, about not being complicit and striking terror down while the iron is hot. You play as Ajay Ghale, the son of a legendary revolutionary, going back to his cultural roots in Kyrat to scatter his mother's ashes. Along the way you are stopped by King Pagan Min, the dictator of Kyrat and former lover of Ajay's mom. He kidnaps you and tells you to sit down, to enjoy a platter of Crab Rangoon while your tour guide is being tortured for information on a revolutionary cell called Golden Path. The player has two options, be complicit, or take matters into your own hands, but the latter is easier said than done. Ajay finds himself in the middle of the Golden Path and while on this journey, he meets countless characters, all with their own motives and beliefs in how Kyrat should be ran, whether with or without Pagan Min.

Far Cry 4's biggest call to arms in its story is within the two characters Sabal and Amita. Sabal was Mohan Ghale's brother-in-arms, the proponent of conservative culture in Kyrat, believing that tradition should come above all else and that the present is more important than the future. Amita is the opposite, believing the views of Kyrati religion to be backwards and demeaning to women and children, and wants to push Kyrat into modern times. The game does not sugar coat these two at all and I love it for that. Both leaders have strong beliefs, plans, and yet have their drawbacks to them too, and it is done with such nuance. Far Cry 4's theme of "ideology" is played out strong between these two.

As to not spoil too much, the gameplay is crazier in this game. While I found the side content lacking in the third entry, this one doesn't have that problem. It smooths out all of the issues I had with the last installment and makes everything feel to be a part of this massive, beautiful world. Towers are re-contextualized to be traditional structures ravaged by Min to feed his propaganda machine. Outposts have multiple ways of engagement and escalating difficulty as you move up the map. The standard side activities are given narratives, whether its just simple hunts and assassinations, or meeting genuinely interesting and charismatic characters, like Min's old fashion assistant, a youthful radio rebel, or a self-made pornstar looking to cash in on other film genre opportunities. This is nothing to say about the actual side missions introducing bombastic and out of this world characters, like a warlord from the time of FC2, two British dudes who sound like they came straight out of a Edgar Wright movie, and uncovering the lore of Kyrat's first ultimate warrior. All of this and I mean every single one connects to the main narrative unlike any open world game I have ever played.

Far Cry 4 is a marvelous game that I implore everyone to play. I can't sing its praises enough. It's got something for everybody, and that something for me was an open world experience made with tact I didn't think was possible.
