Far Cry® 4

I really enjoy the aspect of how open world it is and that you have the freedom to choose what to do.

The indian touch to it, the hindi absuses, the scenic views, the story of the game, in all the whole game itself.

game crashes on launch and doesnt allow you to even play the game. DO NOT BUY

garbage ubishit launcher that ask me that "i dont have access to the game" and "linked to different account" even my main account has far cry 4 and it still wanna linked into another account that i dont have far cry 4 and i cant log in for what?

i played 14 hour ago with my main accout perfectly fine but when i bought DLC on sale this shit got broken and cant play it any more

ubishit launcher cant log in even u using the right password XD their said u password is incorrect but when u try changing u password it said u use the same password LOL what a freaking clown launcher

Just to get this out of the way, I played #1 on PC, completed it and enjoyed it, #2 on PS3 completing most of it, I enjoyed it for a while, but overall found it tedious and repetitive and #3 on PS3, completed it an thought it the best of the series, and still do, of those that I have played.

So, #4... well, first time I launched the game, I couldn't get it to work, despite updating Uplay, logging out and back in, rebooting etc, Uplay kept telling me it was out of date and the game would not launch... then randomly it worked... I look forward to the next time I try to launch the game.

As for the game...

The prologue is just a linear tutorial/intro of sorts, and now on Act 2, while the game appears to have a reasonably sized map, it feels claustrophobic and still linear. I've just been going back and forth doing missions, spending more time travelling then anything. There thus far seems very little to do in terms of having a little fun along the way to doing said missions, and even less in terms of enemies (other than an over abundance of wildlife) outside of missions... other than the occasional random encounter of friendly's being ambushed on the road.

As eluded to earlier, animals/wildlife respawn way too often/quickly and early on this can be a problem due to the limited ammo you can carry and that certain wildlife can be absolute bullet sponges.

Gunplay, even for the games age isn't satisfying, it's limp and sloppy with no feedback and every gun (of the same type), just feels exactly the same.

The hang glider mechanics and controls are absolutely terrible, and ground vehicles feel way to twitchy and floaty.

To interact with something, or to talk to someone, you literally have to shove your face right up against the object/person you feel like you are trying to physically merge with it/them.

Audio levels at times are all over the place.

There are a few graphical glitches, the most notable and frequently encountered is when approaching an animal you've killed, to skin it, the animal develops a texture overlay akin to old timey television static. Alt tabbing back to desktop and then back to the game seems to be the root cause of some of the glitches occurring and definitely makes them far more frequent.

Unskippable cut scenes, not something I would normally do with such a game, but some are just too cringe to bare.

FC3 had memorable NPC's and a half decent plot, overall it was a fun and enjoyable game that I still largely remember to this day, with FC4 I'm only 5 hours in, yet I've not met a single NPC I care or give a toss about and frankly I've already given up on the plot. Sadly, I genuinely don't see me completing very much of this game, let alone remember any of it when I move on.

I realise that I have not played much of the game yet, but the reason that I have chosen to write this review at this point is as follows...

I recently got access to use a gyrocopter, which given the terrible implementation of the hang glider, I was very happy about, that was until I tried to land near the settlement of Banapur.

There was ample room on the ground around the settlement to land, yet despite this as I descended, the gyro got thrown up into the air, which appears be the result of an incredibly lazy design choice to prevent you from landing somewhere that isn't entirely flat or prevent colliding with something, which coupled with the hit box for either trees, the gyro or both being much bigger than their actual models, sadly these poor decisions lead to a rather serious problem.

The reason being, the gyro can only go so high, and when it goes too high, it stalls, so I proceeded for over 15 minutes to bounce into the air, stall, bounce, stall, in a near infinite loop where I had no control over the gyro.

Eventually, after spending some time reading the news online while listening to a couple of YouTube videos, constantly having stalling sounds from the gyro playing in the background, the gyro had managed to work itself out of the loop.

It's fair to say that I won't be getting in a gyro again anytime soon, which given the terrible controls of the glider and floaty controls for land vehicles which, coupled with the cluttered map containing no memorable POI's that just makes land travel tedious.

Pleasant game with a good story and plenty of action 8/10 cuz F**k those mountains...

A story in which my childhood memories live. I remember and love this game endlessly for 6 years. As Ishwari Gail said, this path will tell you more than I could tell you. Go through it and you will understand everything.

Genuinely cannot recommend this game. I tried to like it, I really did.

The story has no pacing. Talk to a person, go kill this guy, go clear this outpost. No sense of where you are in the story at all. Just got tasked to kill a guy in power of a region. No prepwork or anything, just "oh yeah sneak on a truck and you're in". And the forced stealth missions have got to be the worst ones I've ever played in my life. Also the wildlife in this game can suck my dick. I've never seen eagles this aggressive and I love getting stunlocked by a random boar, yak, rhino, etc.

The game tries so hard to get you to be nice to the people with Karma and have you make moral choices that effect the future of Kyrat. Or atleast that was the idea behind it, even though none of your choices matter at the end of it all. Didn't care about Kyrat or anyone involved. In fact, I found almost every single character to be infuriating with how they keep insulting you or just being the most annoying characters in existence. Ajay is a nothing character that lets literally everyone shit talk him and he just stand there like a moron and takes it without saying a word back. The main bad guy is actually one of the only characters I didn't hate. I wanted to burn Kyrat down myself and everyone in it.

Gameplay is also disconnected. There's almost no sense of power scaling. You just hop in and immediately find a grenade launcher that one-shots most things in the game. And then you get like 24 grenades for it to boot. Where is the sense of progression? I just ended up with a MG42 in the early game that shred through anything. The wingsuit can also be bought almost immediately and always fucking auto deploys because I hold shift to run. The whole thing doesn't flow or feel natural at all. You just become overpowered in the first few hours. This is what happens when you build on a good game and just think making the player more overpowered is the answer to keeping it entertaining.

In coop this game is buggy as all hell, but still very entertaining. Easily the best part of the game, even if only the free roaming stuff can be done with a buddy.

People like this game, but with the abundance of problems and annoyances mentioned I just didn't have a good experience.

I had my fair share of trying to fix this game. Countless hours spent looking at YouTube fixes with third party and/or fan made "fixes" that don't work. I simply cannot and will not support a developer that failed to put out a playable game that doesn't require a fix and is not ready to play upon installation and launch. STRONGLY don't recommend this one. Go and play FC3, this one is a pale shadow with minimal work and effort. They changed a story a little bit, added 2-3 new weapons and called it a game. Refunded multiple times and I am done with it.

Far Cry 4 enhances the Far Cry 3 experience with a more diverse world, new gameplay mechanics like riding elephants and using a grappling hook, and a compelling antagonist, Pagan Min. It's essentially Far Cry 3 with more content, better graphics and refined features.

You are gonna love it!

its a super fun game the graphics are amazing i highly recommend to other up coming gamers

very very poorly optimized port. took over a decade just to get achievements. controller support is laughable. FIX YOUR GAME UBISOFT

Still one of the best Far Cry games for sure. Nepal is a very scenic setting. The game also runs perfect. Never had in issue running on any of my PCs since the game came out.

Do not buy. You cant play this 10 year old single player game offline. if you don't have internet, they will not allow you to play the game you bought. Do not buy this game. Do not buy Ubisoft games. Have respect for yourself.

Not the best Far Cry but pretty good. Beautiful world, challenging outposts, decent story. The villains in Far Cry games are just amazing.

Ubisoft finally comes grovelling back to Steam. Now they are barely adding achievements to games, some more than a decade after release.

Better late than never?

I mean they put out some good products over the years, but their management team never listened to their customers during that same time period. So I have no desire to give praise to their company.

The game itself is great, one of the best in series.

Being forced to play the game in Russian due to the region one lives in (without the ability to change the language), however, is extremely scummy.

Rating: 8/10

Overview: Far Cry 4, developed by Ubisoft, is an open-world first-person shooter that offers a vast and immersive experience. Set in the fictional Himalayan region of Kyrat, players assume the role of Ajay Ghale, a young man who returns to his homeland to fulfill his mother's dying wish, only to find himself caught in the middle of a civil war. The game builds on the formula established by Far Cry 3, offering a huge, dynamic world filled with action, exploration, and freedom.

Story: The narrative of Far Cry 4 revolves around Ajay, who becomes embroiled in the conflict between the oppressive ruler Pagan Min and the rebel group, the Golden Path. As Ajay, you are tasked with making difficult choices that will shape the future of Kyrat. The story features themes of power, rebellion, and identity, with multiple factions vying for control.

While the plot may not be groundbreaking, it provides a solid foundation for the game’s various missions and encounters. The characters, particularly Pagan Min, are memorable, with Min being an eccentric and unpredictable villain that adds a unique flavor to the story. The player's choices during the game influence the ending, adding replayability.

Gameplay: Far Cry 4 offers a rich, open-world experience with a variety of ways to tackle objectives. Players can approach missions in multiple ways: stealthily, with guns blazing, or by utilizing the environment and wildlife. The game introduces new vehicles, weapons, and mechanics, including the gyrocopter, which allows for aerial exploration, and the ability to ride elephants into battle, which is as fun as it sounds.

The game’s core mechanics are built around exploration, combat, and taking control of outposts, with side missions and collectibles scattered throughout the map. There's a lot to do, and the game rewards exploration with hidden treasures, wildlife hunting, and optional storylines. The combat is satisfying, with a variety of weapons, from bows to automatic rifles, as well as explosive gadgets to help you take down enemies.

The gameplay is smooth and enjoyable, though some mechanics can feel repetitive over time. The AI can be a bit predictable, and the game occasionally leans too heavily on its combat-focused gameplay, with less emphasis on puzzles or deeper strategy.

Graphics and Performance: Far Cry 4 offers a stunning visual experience, with breathtaking landscapes ranging from snow-capped mountains to dense jungles. The detailed environments and realistic weather systems help immerse you in the world of Kyrat. The character models and animations are solid, though they can sometimes feel a bit stiff during cutscenes.

The game runs well on most modern systems, though players with lower-end hardware may experience some performance drops during intensive firefights or while exploring large areas. The game’s optimization is decent, but the open-world nature of the game can sometimes cause minor technical glitches.

Audio Design: The audio in Far Cry 4 is excellent, with a diverse soundtrack that complements the setting. The sounds of nature, wildlife, and combat are well-designed, adding to the immersive experience. The voice acting is strong, particularly from key characters like Pagan Min, who is portrayed as a charismatic yet disturbing antagonist. The music also helps to build tension during action sequences, making encounters feel more intense.

Challenges: Far Cry 4 is an engaging game that offers a good challenge, particularly on higher difficulty settings. The combat, while fun, can become repetitive, especially when it comes to taking over enemy outposts or dealing with waves of enemies. Some players may also find the game’s side missions a bit tedious, as they often involve the same tasks like clearing outposts or hunting animals.

The game's difficulty ramps up during story missions, but it’s mostly manageable, with the ability to upgrade Ajay’s skills and equipment. The game also offers a co-op mode, allowing players to team up with a friend to complete certain objectives together, which can add a layer of fun and unpredictability.

Final Thoughts: Far Cry 4 is an exhilarating open-world shooter with plenty of content to keep players engaged. The vast, diverse world of Kyrat is packed with activities, and the story provides enough motivation to keep pushing forward. While some elements can feel repetitive, the game's gorgeous visuals, satisfying combat, and memorable characters make it an enjoyable experience overall.

Pros:

Massive, beautiful open world to explore
Engaging combat with a variety of weapons and vehicles
Interesting characters, especially the villain Pagan Min
Tons of side content, including collectibles and outposts
Fun co-op mode for added replayability
Cons:

Some repetitive gameplay elements, particularly with missions
AI can feel predictable at times
The story can be a bit shallow and unoriginal
Far Cry 4 is a fantastic title for fans of open-world games who enjoy action-packed gameplay and exploration. While it doesn’t necessarily reinvent the wheel, it builds upon the success of Far Cry 3 and delivers an engaging experience that will keep you entertained for hours.

By far the best game in the entire franchise, it perfects what FC3 did and puts both past and future entries in the franchise to shame. A literal roller-coaster of non stop action with barely any pacing issues, Kyrat is the best map we've had so far, especially in terms of looks, which makes traversing it a treat. Like in FC5 they tried doing 4 villains instead of one, but really Pagan is the only memorable one out of all of them. I really do think a campaign where you can side with him would've gone hard. He is a much better option than either Amita or Sabal. However you sadly cant really side with him except for a secret ending so it is what it is. But regardless, FC4 really makes you feel like a guerrilla fighter, and combined with all of the things said above, its well worth your time

Except for Overrun, every DLC adds single player content to the game (Season pass includes a bonus mission). Valley of the Yetis DLC is the only one worth playing. Its probably the best DLC out of all the Far Cry games. Everything else is incredibly mediocre, boring and inconsistent. Not having a DLC set in Shangri-La is a massive missed opportunity. As for Overrun, its a multiplayer DLC and the multiplayer in Far Cry 4 is terrible.

9/10

This is the third platform I’ve played this on, and it has gotten better each time. It should’ve had steam achievements working from launch day!

awkward family story with ur father-in-law

Very formulaic but the formula is fun. I got this in a humble bundle years ago and decided to play since it just got steam achievements. It's pretty much the same formula as far cry 3, but with more content and a weaker story. Personally I like the mountainous setting more than the tropical setting of Far cry 3. It's more interesting to navigate, and once you finish exploring a section of the map you can just wingsuit off a cliff or use a glider to go check out a new place. Running around, completing side quests, and grabbing collectibles is very fun. I'm not impressed with the story so far, so I've just been playing the game is short bursts where I run around, complete some side missions, and then play a story mission. The gameplay is a little jank at times. Interaction ranges feel to short and vaulting ledges feels clunky. Overall I'm having fun, but if you don't own this already I would maybe check out the newer games instead as they are probably less clunky and have the same formula + more content. I don't think you would want to play this game and then Far Cry 5 or 6 as I feel after I complete this game I will be a little tired of the formula for a year at least. Still very fun and scratches the Skyrim style open world itch.

grew up watching my brother play. will never get tired of this game. from the graphics to the commentary to the story mode farcry 4 has so much to offer with zero bordem.

This game is absolute trash in 2025. This game can only be played in fullscreen with aspect set to auto or it shifts the entire game off your screen, even if you only have one monitor active. I also get no sound in-game. Every other game in my library (300+) works fine except Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4. Ubisoft sucks. Gonna try Far Cry 5 next, but I'm expecting a similar result. Avoid this trash.

OH, MY, GOD

So first of all, the game itself is completely OKAY - fun to play, long game play (even though a bit repetitive) and good graphics and MOST IMPORTANTLY if you are NOT interested in getting all the achievements then I can only fully recommend this game to any.

BUT

If you ARE interested in getting all the achievements, well then good fucking luck because the multiplayer CO-OP achievements are almost impossible to get because in this 21st century, somehow Ubisoft is of the attitude of "fuck all" and is not able to provide with stable connections between two players and whenever you are trying to host / join a session the game either crashes on your side or the other guy's.

I somehow managed to get the achievements nevertheless, but with a 4th person and on a 3rd take after trying to obtain TWO achievements for 7 long hours.

NEVER AGAIN I'M BUYING A UBISOFT GAME with achievements on. No thank you, sir.

playing it on a laptop with a 16:10 resolution and got black bars on the screen.... but hey, we got achievements now...

To play Far Cry 4 you first need to waste 1-2 hours to:
1. Install mod to skip cutscenes (coz they all are unskippable in game)
2. Install mod to skip cutscenes by pressing spacebar (experimental)
3. Find, download and manually install English sound (coz game is region soft locked)
4. Every frakin time change interface language coz it resets on every game launch
5. "4uck ubisoft"

Tyranny of opening production credit screens, cut scenes, can't get mods installed. Basically DOA.

If you ever wanted a little bit more of Far Cry 3, then this game is perfect for you.

While it doesn't make an enormous leap of change from the standard Far Cry 3 Formula, I feel like this Far Cry 3 Gameplay but perfected.

The Villian, Pagan Min, is great and really is the only great person in the whole story. The Golden Path Buddies all are insufferable and really makes you hate working for them.

This is one of my most favorite Far Cry Series so far. I would hugely recommend it to you if you are looking for a solid Open World Game with the standard Far Cry Formula.

Far Cry 4 was amazing game. Great story and beautiful graphics. 10/10

The game mechanics are the same as in Far Cry 3, but there's a lot more to it!

Great game to just switch off to. Really glad ubisoft came around with achievements. Hats off

This is the first Far Cry game I played on Xbox years ago. I basically 100% completed the game, and now years later decided to play through the game on PC. Far Cry 4 is just as amazing as I remember it to be! I enjoy all the Far Cry games, but this one in particular since it got me hooked on the series. They also just added steam achievements to the game which is great!

Unable to start the game anymore, even if it is shown in my ubisoft connect.
Back in the days it was fun, thanks for breaking it.

multiplayer no can play more bug ... Save gone if very bad game play multiplayer

10/10 experience
Potrąciłem quadem sigma wilka alphe mega realistyczny gameplay polecam serdecznie z rodzinką bez ojca

Very good story, pay attention what your last decision is, and you'll get the best ending in my opinion.

Gameplay is good but the story seems a little bland. There is not much character development for the main character but all in all it is an enjoyable game

Bought it on sale for 5$ because I remember I had a blast with it 12 years ago. Game is still great and that nostalgic feeling hit me hard. The only big problem I have which is very annoying is the random crashes... It usually happens when I access the configuration menu and the error is with the gameprofile.ini file.
I modified it to fix a mouse problem but now, even after deleting it and letting the game recreate the file, I keep getting constant crashes...
Still a great game for its age, though.

I have waited 10 years to play this game and it was worth it. This possibly best game from the series. The soundtrack fits perfectly and the story and the characters are amazingly written. Playing this game is pure joy. Oh and even if you are not 100% completionist, don't forget to do side missions for certain characters (Jogi and Reggie, Hurk (DLC) and Longinus for the reward he will give you), you surely won't regret it.

Far Cry 4 is essentially Far Cry 3.5. It doesn't feel like a full mainline sequel, but at the same time it doesn't feel like a simple expansion to FC3. There are a handful of new game-play mechanics to differentiate itself enough from the other titles, but there's not much more to boast about otherwise. Regardless, it's still an incredibly fun and well-made open-world action game with lots to do and see. The far eastern setting is full of aesthetically-pleasing eye-candy thanks to its high visual prowess, making traversal and exploration around its large map enjoyable. This game gets the cold shoulder and a lot of undeserved flak because of its shortcomings, though it's nowhere near a bad game. It's not as groundbreaking or refined as the other mainline Far Cry games, but it's still worth checking out regardless.
---
Overall: 8.25/10

I absolutely love this game and was so excited to see it on sale and do believe people should play it but also want you to know i made the fatal mistake of just wanting to make my own maps and create outposts and now my game doesn't start after only playing for 10min, its very concerning that a game that is 11yrs old now still is doing things like this so dont use the editor at all if you want to play this game

Doesn't top FC3, but it's also absolutely amazing. The scenery, the vibe, the Story. Hell yeah

O jogo é muito foda, e a dublagem me ajuda a deixar de ser preguiçoso de entender a hístoria do jogo!
o tiro é bem trabalhado

Good story great villain (be cause they have a connection with the protagonist) Amazing for a 10 year old game it think and replayable has multiple endings

F**k Ubisoft

Getting emails about logiins via VPN (yes I have VPN) abou the lame 'Requires 3rd-Party Account: Uplay (Supports Linking to Steam Account)'.

I will not buy any UbiSoft products again. Upholding the need for external accounts on a 10 year old game is retarded.

Just as good as I remember when I was watching old videos on it. Would highly recommend, especially on sale.
The story is pretty good and the game play is fantastic. The balance is pretty good as well.
