NEVER leave a stranger ALONE with your crab rangoon

A videogame review on Farcry 4, by MathiRaj

Farcry 4 was a 2014 release in the Farcry series. This game was developed by Ubisoft Montreal in partnership with Dunia engine. Upon its first release on 18th November 2014, Farcry 4 was released in Playstation 4, Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and Xbox one platforms. The entire gameplay was very smooth, the graphics felt far better than that of Farcry 3. There was'nt much of background scores as I could remember, but the ones included were ideal and apt. The side missions and quests were unlocked just like Farcry 3, you liberate an outpost and you unlock side quests, but these side quests in comparison with that of Farcry 3's were much more interesting. Other important feature that was new here when compared to Farcry 3 was the guns for hire, where you can hire NPCs who fight by your side. There were other kinds of side missions which branched out a different fantasy side story, which I found to pretty interesting too. The fact about the story missions too were that you get to actually decide how the plot goes, to some extent. As of boss fights, this game has four main bosses and many other boss fights in the side missions. With that being said, after completing that game thrice, I'll drop a pro-tip hint, if there is something that the Farcry games taught me, it's always to choose bros before 'you-know-who'. We get to play as Ajay Gale, an American citizen who returns to Kyrat, a fictional country neighboring India in the Himalayas. Upon arrival, we get to know that Kyrat is going through a civil war because of the dictatorship and atrocities caused by a self-proclaimed King, Pagan Min. It so happens to be that Pagan Min is who we first meet in the opening of the game as he is the one who knows where exactly our mother wants her ashes to be scattered. We are kidnapped and provided a lunch with Pagan Min, where he steps out for a moment. That is where we decide and start our journey, whether we go peacefully, or join with the local rebel group, Golden path which was founded by our father Mohan Gale and fight against Pagan Min. The game has two obvious endings and one secret ending. The secret ending felt more logical and peaceful, but did not offer much of a gameplay. Being an Indian, I really enjoyed how the game portrayed Indian traditions and culture to a decent extent, if you know hindi very well, the game even had hindi cuss words which increased the atmosphere of the game. I sure do recommend playing this game, it gave me hours and hours of fun.
