Pros:
- Single player has lots of diverse content, such as races, the Arena, Shangri-La missions, and other stuff
- Other content includes co-op. a map editor and (probably defunct) multiplayer
- Setting is absolutely gorgeous and believable
- Weapons are numerous and super-satisfying to use and customize
- stealth works better now that you can pick up bodies
- buzzers are the fastest and most fun way of traversing the map
- Pagan Min (the antagonist) is a better antagonist than Vaas imo, yet unfortunately he is rarely encountered
- Different endings that make you think about what you've been doing this whole time
- Ability to choose between two different Golden Path leaders is an interesting choice, which has consequences for the end
- That hidden ending :)
- Way better optimized than Far Cry 3

Cons:
- Ajay Ghale (the protagonist) has practically no character development, and his backstory is almost non-existent. You actually have to read a wiki to somewhat understand why he's so proficient with weaponry
- There are few interesting story moments, as most of the story involves you doing things simply because you are fighting "bad guys"
- Unskippable and unpauseable cutscenes
- Some of the sidequests such as the Longinus and Yogi & Reggie missions can be extremely boring, especially with the pointless cutscenes
- Being a 100% freak, I didn't mind the numerous collectibles. What I did mind was that there was no meaningful reward for them. Seriously, what happened to getting some real cool, almost easter-egg-type rewards for completing tasks that the average player wouldn't do?
- Wingsuit is the most annoying thing ever, as it has the same key as sprint, so you gotta be extra careful that you don't accidentally "sprint" while in the air. Also touching even the smallest branch mid-flight is an instant kill
- some buggy undiscovered location markers that only seem to unlock if you go under the map
- some side quests either have missing voiceovers as the subtitles appear, while some quests have voiced lines that cut to the next before the sentence is finished, no matter what you do

Far Cry 4, lançado pela Ubisoft em 2014, transporta os jogadores para Kyrat, um país fictício nas montanhas do Himalaia. A história segue Ajay Ghale, que se vê envolvido em uma guerra civil ao retornar ao país natal de sua mãe. O vilão, Pagan Min, é carismático e memorável, trazendo profundidade à narrativa.

A jogabilidade mantém a fórmula de sucesso da série, oferecendo um vasto arsenal de armas e veículos, além de novas mecânicas, como montar elefantes e usar o wingsuit. O mundo aberto é incrivelmente detalhado, incentivando a exploração e diferentes abordagens para completar missões.

Os gráficos são deslumbrantes, capturando a beleza e a periculosidade do Himalaia. A trilha sonora e os efeitos sonoros aumentam a imersão, tornando cada momento do jogo envolvente.

Far Cry 4 é uma adição robusta à série, combinando uma narrativa envolvente, jogabilidade expansiva e um mundo aberto deslumbrante. É uma experiência imperdível para os fãs de ação e aventura.

I decided to re-play Far Cry 4 for the fourth time. But this time, I finished this amazing game. This is perhaps Ubisoft's last solid game. The game is the pinnacle of the Far Cry series, and the antagonist, Pagan Min, is one of the best characters that I've seen in any gaming series.
The world is wonderful to explore, the side missions are enjoyable, and you can complete them in any style you want, and my favourite way was to use the Bow and move stealthily.
Riding an elephant into an army base is just something you can do...
The game forces you to choose between two sides, but once you realise that everyone in the game is fucked up, the story telling makes the playing experience much more enjoyable.

While it's not too different from Far Cry 3 in terms of gameplay, I did enjoy this one a little bit more. I think this could be due to the setting, since I can't recall playing another game set in the Himalayas region.

I also enjoyed the option to choose who you want to side with during the campaign, it reminded me a bit of Far Cry 2 in that regard. Though I wish this feature was more meaningful, since in the end, it didn't feel like the choices mattered all that much.

Aside from the repetitive gameplay, I have to say that by far the most annoying part of this game like many others, is the obnoxious characters. The siblings you do campaign missions for or the "funny" weed guys, are extremely unlikable. I really do wish that a game that covers serious topics, would follow by having a serious tone throughout. Unfortunately this is a problem that has plague all the recent Far Cry games.

If playing on PC, I would recommend using the "Golden Path" mod, since there are some nice fixes and additions you can activate to make the gameplay more enjoyable.
