I recommend watching a Let’s Play on Youtube if you’re very interested. This game was actually developed by Crytek, not Ubisoft, so it’s perhaps interesting in that retrospective sense as well. It’s very much the epitome of the mid-2000’s string of “buff white military man with big guns power fantasy.” Again, these graphics were really impressive in 2004, but today… well, we’ll just say they haven’t aged as well as we’d have liked. You’ll follow former Spec Ops officer Jack Carver to an unnamed tropical island to rescue a journalist who’s gone missing, and take down a mad scientist conducting horrific genetic experiments. Impressive at the time of release in 2004, and pushing the Cryengine to its limit, Far Cry set up the franchise’s tentpole features (like exploration, upgrades, and biomes) in a solid way, but the clunky gameplay just isn’t worth the admittedly interesting story. While it presented a lot of neat ideas, and the basis of what would become the “Ubisoft open world formula,” it hasn’t aged well. ![]() ![]() Unless you are already a fan, do not bother with Far Cry 1.
