Far Cry 3

The best entry in the franchise, finally nailing the blend of open-world freedom, RPG-style progression, and linear scripted storytelling. Its standout strength is the menacing villain Vaas, who anchors a strong narrative and gives players constant reason to engage with the main story. Killing him off halfway through is the one fatal flaw, but the mix of free-roaming distraction and compelling story makes it timeless.

A scathing comedic takedown that pans the game for its despicable, shameless protagonist Jason Brody and its boring scripted sequences. The open-world sandbox and creative, dynamic mission approach are acknowledged as the game at its best, with decent graphics and a fun licensed soundtrack. Overall it lands at the harshest possible verdict, 0 out of 5.

Phenomenal open-world FPS with the best character acting Mack has ever seen in a game. 'If you don''t own this game, buy it — doesn''t matter how much it is.'
