Far Cry 4
About the Game
Far Cry 4 is the fourth main game in the open world action series. It has no narrative ties to Far Cry 3 , but carries over many gameplay elements. The game is set in Kyrat, a fictional region based on the Himalayan regions of Nepal. It is governed by the depostic king Pagan Min.
Story & Setting
Next to the main quest there are various side quests and random karma events for separate karma points. When playing alone and in a difficult situation, you can send a request for help for someone to join you, and vice versa.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Vertical heights can be scaled using a grappling hook, and a glider or a zipline is used to move down. The player can follow the story missions or explore freely. There is an auto drive option where vehicles follow the roads to the next waypoint while the player can concentrate on shooting. Typical game elements that return are hunting animals (rhinos, pigs, bears, eagles, wolves, elephants ...) to craft upgrades, collecting plants for syringes, exploring locations for loot that can be sold at shops, trading points and sherpas, and a large amount of weapons including a bow, both melee weapons and long-ranged guns, grenades, mines, and explosives. Next to money and experience gained to level up, skills points are provided.
Standout Features
- These can be spent in The Tiger (aggressive) or The Elephant (defensive) skill tree.
- Guns for hire tokens can be used to call in back-up for tough missions.
- Stones can be thrown as a distraction.
- Ajay: The game has a day and night cycle and Ajay can now sleep in a bed for a certain amount of time to skip the night for instance.
Modes & Ways to Play
The single-player campaign can be played cooperatively (except for the main story missions). Online multiplayer is also supported through Battles of Kyrat, with different types of game modes such as Outpost, Demon Mask or Propaganda.
Presentation & Atmosphere
Both animals and enemies can be tagged with the camera to track movement.
