This is the best Far Cry game, yes. I still have issues with it. I think I preferred the art style and atmosphere of Far Cry 2 in terms of colors and danger, but I'm not against what they did in this game. I also don't like the lack of variety in how you can be damaged and how you heal yourself. Gameplay is fun, if not repetitive, in terms of the shooting and movement. But, my biggest negative this game does is that it was developed by Ubisoft, and that's an issue because I do not like Ubisoft games generally. The main reason is because I have side-mission brain-rot, or, as I like to call it, I have Ubisoft Brain. The fact I can do every single side mission and get fully upgraded before the second mission of the game is not a great thing in terms of gameplay. And I know, this is a me problem, but I can't help myself. And a lot of these side missions are not very creative and can be accomplished doing many of the same things as before. Other than that, I actually like a lot of what the game does. I like having a named and speaking person to play as, I like Vaas a lot, and enjoyed the story.

Part of the reason I kind of hate Far Cry 3 for existing is because of what it did to the rest of the series. This game is fun, and I like the main villain, but it feels way too similar to Far Cry 3. I mean, the map is the exact same. The only real difference this game made was making the playable character mute and putting us in the Himalayas. This game is less egregious than some other games in the series when it comes to copying Far Cry 3, but it does impact the quality of it.

It's alright. I don't like all of the changes it made to the world of the series because it makes the first game feel as if that didn't matter. But, I tend to care less about story in video games, and so we go to the gameplay. Things I liked the most: making health more scarce and having to plan appropriately for it, the atmosphere, and the feel of the weapons. The things I did not like the most: the weapon design, the world layout, and the fact we have bullet-time again. That last part is important to note because it isn't any better than the first game and shows how much the people making this game couldn't have thought of anything new or creative for this game. It genuinely just feels like worse rehash of the first game.

I don't think it accomplished much of what the first game did right, but it is better than the previous game. I liked the things they brought back from the first game, and I liked how there is a cool multiplayer aspect to it. However, my biggest complaint and criticism of this game is how much they strayed from what made the first game so good. I feel like I'm playing a slightly more spooky Call of Duty most of the time, and that isn't what I'm playing the F.E.A.R. series for. The gameplay is good, but it feels soulless and uninspired, which becomes a detriment to me and how I look back on it.

Fortnite is fun, although, I think it is lacking when it comes to the gameplay. It's fine and serviceable, but it also makes it so there is not much variation in how to play. Sure, they can add as many new weapons and power ups as they want, but it always just feels the same. It is an enjoyable gameplay loop, but it can easily get tiring if you're not really enjoying it.
