Diversity is one of Far Cry 4’s strongest assets, and it overwhelms the mostly disappointing story with countless opportunities for free-form adventure and fun. Visual variety, tons of distinct side-quests, and a dense world with plenty of options always gave me something I wanted to do, and its satisfying economy had me obsessing over completing every side-quest. It’s a little safe, overall -- its competitive multiplayer stands out as a gamble that paid off -- in that it has many familiar elements from Far Cry 3 transplanted to an amazing new place, but those elements are incredibly empowering and rewarding.

Of course, the main aim throughout the game is to get back to Pagan Min, who sadly features very little throughout the game despite him being one of the strongest characters.

Big, brash and chaotic, Far Cry 4 is perhaps not a huge step on from Far Cry 3, but it’s more (much more) of a good thing.
