Far Cry 2 is the perfect definition of a 6.5/10 game. It tries to be a fps with a more survivalist approach but it quickly becomes annoying with that, enemies deal ridiculous amount of damage at times, sometimes you have a hard time spotting them, you get chased to the pits of hell, it all gets annoying after a while, I installed a mod that helped with that so I had a better time with FC2 than what I would have if I had completed it without any mods. The scenery looks quite good for an almost 16 year old game! Some parts of the game are very pretty to look at. The open world itself is meh, feels too empty and a bit boring, which is a shame, it could've been used better for story purposes too. The story was okay, could've been better but it wasn't bad. Most of the characters were extremely forgettable or just okay. The gameplay is clunky and it feels weird to play even on KMB. Still, I had a mostly good experience with it. I gave the same score to FC5, which has a much better open world and gameplay, but its story and characters were very, very forgettable. FC2 at least tried to implement some stuff in the franchise, I wished the sequels tried to do that too instead of playing it safe.
