Initial Thoughts On Far Cry 4

I was a huge fan of Far Cry 3, so the fact that its successor, Far Cry 4, is essentially the same game on steroids is great.  The insane amount of debauchery I have caused with my controller is unprecedented and the freedom of experimentation is top notch and allows the player many angles to complete each objective.  The world of Kyrat is an immense playground with something to do and/or see around every corner and an equal amount of threats hiding behind each turn.  Far Cry 4's numerous dynamic events keep you on your toes, but sometimes it doesn't know when it's just too much all at once. 

Far Cry 4's story leaves you wanting more.  The main antagonists are portrayed amazingly, but are only on the screen for very short periods of time.  It feels as though the game robs itself of an amazing story of struggle by hiding these characters away instead of creating a tension between the main character and his adversaries.

I'm only a little over half-way through the main campaign, so all opinions I have now are subject to change.  Look for PBG's review of Far Cry 4 next week!
