This review contains spoilers

Man, remember when Ubisoft actually made really good games? While I enjoy playing 4 more, 3 is still a lot of fun and actually has a (mostly) well told story with good characters. Jason is actually a really compelling character unlike basically every other Far Cry protag. Vaas is a really good villain, sadly once he's out of the picture Hoyt doesn't really pick up the slack like you'd hope. At least the final island has Sam and he's a neat character. Sadly, the ending choice feels really forced and kinda ruins Citra's character just to force you to have a choice. Like kidnapping your friends makes no sense when they're already going to leave and Jason straight up told her he was staying. If they had put a moment before that where Jason hinted that maybe he was planning on leaving after all then this wouldn't be a problem, but they dropped the ball there. Also the bad ending makes no sense at all because even if she was going to kill Jason and groom their kid into a warrior, she wouldn't have had any way of knowing if the couple times they have sex actually made a baby that quickly and if it didn't work and she killed him she'd be fucked. If we cut to like a couple weeks later and she told him she was pregnant and then killed him so he couldn't stand in her way it would have worked a little better imo. Despite those problems though the story is quite good and does a pretty good job showing Jason's descent into madness, even if they rush it at the beginning.
