The gameplay, on the other hand, is where вЂњFar Cry 4вЂќ really shines. Even Pagin Min, whose actions drive the entirety of the plot, is played for comic relief more often than not and, as a result, never seems to be that much of a threat. Most of the other characters arenвЂ™t much better, either ending up boring or adhering a little too closely to racial stereotype. Ghale himself is as bland of a protagonist as you can get, passively moving from one set piece to another with almost total ambivalence to everything that is happening around him. While the story starts off fairly interesting with plenty of intrigue surrounding the founding of the resistance and the playerвЂ™s relationship with Min, the story falls apart thanks to bland and poorly realized characters. The plot, for the most part, is a mixed bag. From there, you are tasked with helping the rebellious Golden Path wrest control of the country from MinвЂ™s clutches one region at a time, all the while trying to uncover the hidden mysteries of the country and learning the truth of what happened to GhaleвЂ™s father years before. His plans go awry, however, when he discovers that his late parents were the former leaders of an armed resistance against the countryвЂ™s tyrranical ruler, Pagin Min, immediately forcing Ghale into the role of messianic figurehead of the rebellion and sworn enemy of MinвЂ™s regime. вЂњFar Cry 4вЂќ follows the exploits of Ajay Ghale, an American-born immigrant whoвЂ™s traveling to the fictional Himalayan country of Kyrat in order to spread his motherвЂ™s ashes.

While I canвЂ™t say this game does everything perfectly, I am impressed with what I have seen thus far and am excited to jump right back into its violent and beautiful world. The result is one of the most beautifully realized worlds IвЂ™ve seen in a while coupled with rock-solid gameplay that makes almost every moment stand out. From sprinting through an enemy camp, knifing everyone in my wake to killing wild animals with grenades and watching their bodies fly through the air, this game seems to have been built for the singular purpose of creating as many вЂњwowвЂќ moments as possible. ItвЂ™s rare to find a game that embraces total chaos as much as вЂњFar Cry 4вЂќ does. While I do feel confident in my opinion of the game so far, I will not be giving this game a final score as a result. Disclaimer: Due to major issues resulting in the loss of my save data, I was not able to complete the game in time for this review.
