I can't really Recommend this game, but that statement comes with a caveat.

Let me say right off the bat that this game isn't in any way a bad game. In fact, it's a fairly good game. But ultimately it's a pretty forgettable game in my opinion. ultimately I'd give this game a solid 5/10. It's a good game, but the flaws and rather mundane bits just make it very meh. It's not bad, it's just meh. Get some guns, do one or two modifications to them, nothing special. Get a few totally forgetable perks to 'upgrade' your character, but only a few of them actually feel signifigant (grappling hook which is far underused and extra holster which is oh so needed) There's some challenges in the game that test your skills, but don't really feel that exciting over all. There's multiple vehicles, but attack helicopters just dominate everything so why use anything else?

Don't think it's bad, there's some enjoyable bits, and some humor to the game. But the forced sequences are so forced they're teeth gnashingly bad. The ending is downright terrible, though I'm given to understand pretty standard for the Far Cry series. There is one bit where I felt like the game really shined and held my interest for a few hours, the arcade mode. I spent a few hours, after beating the game, messing around with the quick play arcade mode, trying out player created maps. I enjoy seeing the creativity of other players, and I went from a stealth mission to a shoot out in the old west, to an assassinate and escape map, back to back and felt like each was different and interesting.

Ultimately I wouldn't suggest anyone pick this one up, UNLESS they are a fan of the franchise, or can get it on sale cheap, OR are just looking for a kind of brainless open world shooter. In which case, this one isn't too bad and you might enjoy yourself.
