I have only previously played the 3rd installment of Far Cry which was absolutely fantastic and one of my favourite games on the PS3.



Bold statement to make when you know that I'm usually not a big fan of first person shooters.



I bought this one off the back of that hoping that it would be everything that it's predecessor was and more but I was slightly disappointed.



I'm roughly around 4 hours into the story I think and it hasn't gripped me like FarCry 3 did. The villain isn't as good but that may be because Vaas was obviously the best ever video game bad guy! The graphics are good, but with this being on the next gen console, I would've expected a little more of an upgrade. At the minute, they're very similar to FarCry 3.



The game play is exactly the same as the 3rd instalment which is a very good thing as I was a fan of it and still am now. The only problem I have with the controls on the PS4 is that the touchpad can get in the way a little bit. What I mean by that is when you're using the analogue sticks to make your way around the HUGE open world on the came, if you gently hover over the touchpad and make the faintest of contacts with it, it bring up the weapon wheel on screen which can get quite frustrating.



Overall, it's a good game but when you compare it to FarCry 3... it's not quite it the heights I would've hoped it would
