The Guardian: 5/5
Far Cry 4 truly shines in the almost bacchanalian sense of freedom it bestows on the player as they traverse through its environment. In Kyrat you have the ability to go anywhere and do pretty much anything – much as Pagan Min would advocate. Here, the only pact you need keep is that with your conscience. God help you.

Eurogamer: 8/10
But there’s a reason Ubisoft pared back Far Cry 4′s story – it knew it was never going to be the main attraction. Far Cry 4 does all the things that its predecessor did and more – more weapons, more vehicles, more modes, more ground to cover – so if all you’re looking for is a big old wide open space to tear up with a friend, go forth and make merry with mortar. That said, more does not necessarily mean better, and the truth is that the wilds of Kyrat simply aren’t as beguiling as the Rook Islands were. Far Cry 4 is well worth a visit, but it’s more a backpacker’s delight than a five-star island paradise.

Gamespot: It’s a problematic campaign, certainly, forcing you to restart an entire mission from scratch if you arrive at your destination and realize you’d like a different loadout, and making you reach for the radio dial so you don’t have to listen to the worst radio personality this side of the Great Wall of China. It’s when you circumvent Far Cry 4′s major thematic flaws, inconsistent missions, and incessant nagging that you find the game you came looking for, breathing easy and enjoying the mountains that rise in the distance and the valleys that stretch beneath you. Like the terrain if depicts, Far Cry 4 travels both high and low, representing the good, the bad, and ugly of video games all at once. It’s awesome and messy and dumb and fun and annoying and gross and beautiful. Take any given adjective in your vocabulary, and chances are, it will in some way describe Far Cry 4.

Joystiq: 4.5/5
There’s a staggering number of adventures to extract from Far Cry 4, whether you chase the ones laid out by the game explicitly, or the ones that develop naturally as you take in the sights. It’s another interesting and absorbing world to fall into, shoot through, burn and then guide to new beginnings. Far Cry 4 may have installed a despot, but it’s still the undisputed king of the open-world shooter.

Destructoid: 9/10
"If you enjoyed its predecessor and didn't grow tired of Ubisoft Montreal's open world formula, you'll have a blast living the experience again." - Chris Carter [Full review]

CVG: 9/10
"Don't let a lackluster multiplayer deter you, though. The strength of the world and its systems alone makes this one of the year's best games and one whose enormous potential for experimentation means you'll playing it well into 2015. By taking things to the Himalayas, Ubisoft Montreal has managed to skilfully weave an attractive partnership of awe-inspiring landscape and exhilarating, surprising action." - John Robertson [Full review]

Metro: 9/10
"Far Cry 4 might not be doing anything terribly new, but it does do almost everything it sets out to extremely well. And there's few games, no matter what they are, that can ever say that." - David Jenkins [Full review]

GamesRadar: 4/5
"Far Cry 3 remains the series' peak, but Far Cry 4 is a lovely-looking, accomplished offering that suffers from lackluster writing and an odd lack of purpose." - Edwin Evans-Thirlwell [Full review]



GameInformer Rating 8.75
  • Concept:Take the Far Cry 3 formula to the Himalayas and add a half-baked co-op mode that only applies to side missions
  • Graphics:The breathtaking mountain vistas are marred by pop-up, which is worse than many last-gen games like Grand Theft Auto V
  • Sound:Cliff Martinez's Tibetan-influenced score perfectly sets the mood for the unique setting
  • Playability:Carrying over the polish from Far Cry 3, the weapons handle well. I wish I could say the same for the vehicles, which can be tricky to drive on the default settings without independent speed and directional controls
  • Entertainment:The rich setting is fun to explore, but the familiar gameplay experience doesn't stray far from Far Cry 3
  • Replay:Moderate

I typically like Vanord reviews. His review for DAI seems spot on. I dunno tho. I'm still excited for this. metacritic score is still high. And I watched a video for the co-op. Brehs. So much potential for fukkery. Dudes were riding a gyrocopter and one dude took off while the other was attacked by what seemed like a bulletproof weasel or something LMAO. shyt was jokes tho. it looks like its gonna be so fun.

I just have so many problems with Uplay. Its so goddamn terrible. It makes Origin look like Steam. So I'm probably gonna cop this on PS4, tho my pirated version on PC looks BEAUTIFUL. Just got it to see how it would run on my pc and it was running...well it seemed to be running better than FC3 did for me lmao.
