A high school staple. This is Ubisoft at their peak, when they first designed their open-world formula but before this became their entire identity. The gameplay loop of activating radio towers, taking outposts, doing a main quest, rinse & repeat is perfect "no thoughts head empty" gaming for folks who just want to relax while they deliver headshots. The Apocalypse Now/Heart of Darkness-inspired story is surprisingly effective even now, even as the dudebro main character and his buddies come off as more and more corny with the passing years. Modern Far Cry at its best.
