I've played from Far Cry 1 and I'm currently playing number 4. There is a certain sameness with 4 to 3 and the plots always feel too 'bro' in a cringy way to me.
I really did like the first two, but with these latter ones, it just got really arcade like. Too many collectibles to unlock things, one of my post peeves with modern game designs.
They still are a bit of fun, but I wouldn't hold them up as great pieces of gaming. I pick them up when they are really cheap (FC4 was recently 8 euros)... I did really get into the Blood Dragon expansion though!
The first two were great! The third was refreshing and interesting at the tame. All that comes after that - the same shit in a different bag.
Exactly... that was my impressions as well. Still it is fun for a bit of light gaming... no deep thought required, just the fun of playing!
