I originally skipped over this game in the series upon release, having been a bit burnt out from Far Cry at that point and not thinking it was anything special. After a while since having beaten the 6th game, I finally decided to come back to 5 and give it a try, and I wish I'd played this one first as it's so much better. While the gameplay is the same typical, somewhat repetitive loop the series is known for, the story of this one really drew me in and kept me with it, especially with the wonderfully crafted villains and a buildup to two powerful endings.
