GOATed game. Took me around 25 hours on a replay, doing all base game + deleted content, on the highest difficulty setting (which I highly recommend). Play with the Redux + Realism mod pack to avoid technical issues, restore deleted content and get some welcome balancing changes.
Good game. Very pretty scenery and the ai are surprisingly smart. Ubisoft haven't ported the game from console very well though. It is fully functional barring a few sound glitches so long as you limit the games framerate each time on the main menu. To do this, press the ` key next to 1 and type in: gfx_maxfps 60 Hopefully that helps!
The story and atmosphere are uniquely honest about the nature of war in a way the other titles of the Far Cry series simply weren't. Other entries in the series - while great in their own way - never really confronted the in-universe moral implications of killing so many people, even if they're enemy combatants. This game does; wounded enemies cry out in fear, and late-game enemies often plead for their life before you even pull the trigger simply because you've killed so many people that you've developed an almost legendary (in the monstrous sense) reputation. Enemies aren't portrayed as one-dimensional monsters, and the protagonist is repeatedly portrayed - correctly - as being no better than them morally, just better at killing and not dying. Almost everything is transactional, which is very accurate to real warfare social dynamics. It's not a perfect representation of war, sure, but it was a massive leap in the right direction for gaming - and it beats the hell out of later entries in its realism. If you value games that are actually grounded and not just pure power fantasies with a "gritty" aesthetic, this game is for you! Even late game with the best gear and most optimized loadout, I found myself constantly hiding in bushes and tall grass whenever I even heard a vehicle in the distance because combat is almost always intensive and high-stakes. Enemy AI is surprisingly more advanced than later entries of the series, with enemy drivers attempting to ram the protagonist (usually fatal), enemy gunmen flanking as their buddies lay down suppressive fire so you can't stop them immediately, enemy snipers usually spotting you before you even see them, etc. You often have to think on your feet - running in blindly and shooting everything that moves rarely works on its own. Stealth is often more theoretically viable, but its brutal - if enemies find one body, they'll sweep the whole area and remain on high alert for quite some time - not to mention that most guns aren't even suppressed and you don't unlock the camo suit until mid-late game.
