Just like Far Cry 3, it’s very easy to get distracted here. Of course, I spent the first 20 hours hunting and completely ignored the story. There’s also two major characters in the campaign to side with, and choosing one over the other will change the course of the story slightly and give you access to different missions. The story itself takes place over the course of 32 campaign missions, which will no doubt take ages to complete as you get distracted by pretty much everything else. There’s 24 outposts to take, over 200 collectibles to find, radio towers to scale, and 100 extra quests to complete. His army has some more flavor than your typical mercenary crew found in most sandbox games as well, with proper in-world context to justify their outfits and abilities. Even the in-game guide is written by Min, offering up some humorous takes on the lore. His outfit, mannerisms, and actions all make him a villain worth pursuing, and he steals the show every time he’s on-screen. The real star of the main event is easily Pagan Min himself, played to perfection by Troy Baker in one of his best turns yet.
While I’d definitely prefer a well-written, vocal lead character, Far Cry 4 puts the spotlight on the supporting cast, allowing players to focus on the action at hand from Ajay’s position as someone simultaneously new to Kyrat, but not quite an “outsider”. Ubisoft deliberately downplays most of the main character’s dialog, and while Ajay isn’t quite a silent protagonist, he doesn’t say a whole lot. This time around Ajay is a bit less in-your-face than Jason was in Far Cry 3, and the game is more enjoyable for it. Ajay is thrown in the middle of an all-out war between Min and the Golden Path, a resistance movement led by Ajay’s father, thus sparking the narrative and giving you reasons to shoot things. Min has history with Ajay’s family, and knows he’s coming. The only problem is Pagan Min, the ruling warlord. The new protagonist, Ajay Ghale, has returned to his homeland to spread his mother’s ashes in Kyrat at her request. But for me, it’s still pretty damn fun.įar Cry 4 (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One)Īway from the archipelago of the Rook Islands, we now find ourselves in the vast expanse of the Himalayas in a land called Kyrat. It didn’t stray too far from the normal sandbox conventions set before it, but gallivanting around beautiful island vistas and flying about with wingsuits was sweet.įor some that wasn’t enough, though, and for those folks, Far Cry 4 won’t be enough either.
