After seeing way too many negative reviews for this game I figured I needed to write my own. Just so it is clear I am writing this review after playing 31 hours and beating the campaign.
  1. Gameplay
    The basic gameplay is very similar to Far Cry 3. You have campaign missions, side missions, liberate towers, and of course attack outposts. The biggest gameplay differences are throughout the main campaign you have two leaders arguing and you always need to be the decider. Second gameplay difference is now there are fortresses, which are a lot more fun too attack since they pose a little more difficulty. Third, the map being based in the hills has a lot more opportunities to make use of the grappling hook and the wing-suits. Finally the side missions are a lot more common and varied to keep it interesting even after you have finished the main campaign. A Quick side note, the economy is unballenced but since it is only in single player it isnt to horrible that way. I know I still have a ton of the map to explore. Overall the gameplay was familiar and I really enjoyed it but it didn't feel like an exact replica of Far Cry 3, they really improved the base model of gameplay

  2. Graphics
    I have a custom built hi-end PC and I was able to take full advantage of the high graphics quality. Everything from the characters to the terrain to the animals all looks so amazing and only a few games able to compare with that level. I know that for people with lower end computers it may not be as important, but for someone who can run it, the graphics are amazing. I understand many (too many) players have had issues with the game from black screens to frame stuttering, I have not had these issues since the launch day but I hope Ubisoft fixes them all for everyone's sake.

  3. Story
    While I was very skeptical of the story having to follow the amazing story brought to us in Far Cry 3. That being said the story is very well written. It has plenty of hooks and switches to keep you guessing from the start. One thing I will mention that there are several opportunities to shoot a person before they tell you their part of the story, I just wish that was a little more obvious so nobody misses any.

  4. Sounds
    As usual the background music for the whole story was amazing as well as all the sound effects. Everything fit very well together and made the game one step closer to perfection.

  5. My Closing Opinion
    I loved the game. I do feel that the story was unable to match Far Cry 3 but was still amazing. I love the vehicles and coop was a nice addition. I know I will still be playing this game every second of my free time for probably another month or two. I know I still have plenty of submissions and collectibles lying around to keep me entertained for a while.
Thank you @Orbitaldrop for the vertical gameplay and side missions addition
