Yet another iteration of the ubi formula, capturing fortresses is just fun enough, but said fun gets absolutely obliterated once the actual mandatory story missions get in the picture.

This game features some of the most obnoxious characters I've seen in a video game, coupled with unskippable cutscenes, annoying checkpoints and really boring and predictable missions. The story is honestly a slog and it just keeps padding itself with missions that serve as a time wasting hindrance until the player regains control.

And when that control is back there's not that much to do either. Once the same hunting and outpost capturing motions from Far Cry 3 are seen and done, all that's left is a dead open world full of little annoyances that serve no purpose and remind you you were just checking boxes all along.
