Did I ever tell you, the definition of insanity? No? OK well Insanity is how often people quoted this game and still thinking it was clever. OK but seriously this game was really awesome when it came out and honestly it still holds up for me to this day. So I've never really been hugely into the Far Cry series, I never played the first two and I was not a fan of Far Cry 5 (though I might be willing to give it another chance). This however was a a seriously breath of fresh air in the FPS genre at a time when it was becoming stale and overly saturated. So first, the gameplay. This is more or less your standard FPS however it's also a totally open world game where you can explore this entire group of islands by foot or by vehicle and there's a ton for you to do besides just complete missions. There's plenty of radio towers for you to climb and give you access to more of the map, there's enemy outposts you can liberate in order to give you and your team their own bases, there's treasure hunting, animal hunting, crafting new items, there's a ton you can do here. One thing that I love about this one is how you really don't have to follow any sort of set path, you can just go anywhere you want and do things how you prefer to do them, do you prefer the stealth approach? Or do you prefer to just go in all guns blazing? Either approach is doable here and you play it how YOU want to.
OK now let's talk about the story, so the basic story is that you and your friends are supposed to be enjoying your vacation on a tropical island but instead you get kidnapped by pirates who are led by Vaas, a really awesome and absolutely crazy villain who you will encounter on many occasions. Vaas and his pirates basically rule this island and keep its inhabitants in check, however there is a small resistance group that you will help fight back against him and in exchange they will allow you and your friends a safe passage out of here. For the most part the story isn't amazing or anything, but it's good, the only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the ending which I won't spoil for you here but I will say that it involves you making a fatal choice at the end of all things, this choice will determine which ending you get and to be quite honest neither one is preferable, but the game is still well worth playing.
