If Steam would have a points score system, i would give it 5 or 6 maybe. So i should give it a negative review. It's an ok game, but after playing this i know i don't want to play any of the other Far Cries (and i haven't). It is bland and repetitive. Story missions and the theme is ok, but nothing really engaging, spectacular, at times stupid even. I get that this was an intention to beat on trash movies cliches, but it was too much some times. Outside of the main story it is an open world which is pretty empty. Yeah with some fights between scientists and commandos going on here and there. It was fun to roam in a jeep, but not for long. Side quest are all similar (go and kill someone and maybe save some scientist jerk). I hated missions requiring you to do stealth in an open field surrounded by 20+ enemies. "Cutscenes" were often too long and, i don't know, i just didn't liked how they sounded and looked. I didn't get the leveling thing as you couldn't choose a skill, it was just a linear progression which happened automatically. I hated some animations like pilfering cyberhearts (which you needed sometimes to distract dragons) or shotgun reloading cycle which took to long to start shooting again.

Then the general design. Saves somethimes weren't working. So i ended up only using checkpoints. And once i had to listen to some story dialog like 10 times while dying on some side quest and loading again. Stupid system of repeating everything when you load a save. After a recent uPlay update it started to mess with Blood Dragon launch and jumped in front of it making BD starting in a windowed state, so i had to restart it every time (that' because uPlay wasn't already running, yeah, i don't want some program to run all the time when i only need it for one game occasionally). That's another point why i won't play Far Cry or other Ubisoft game.

All in all, it was fun to shoot enemies and ride the jeep at times, but it was also a bland, sometimes boring game with an overdone humour. Can't call it a good game.
