Jan. 2025

Started the game. "Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?" Went hunting. Needed goat skins for a bigger wallet. Killed 10 goats. Still broke. Tried to be stealthy. Set everything on fire. Climbed a radio tower. Fell off 4 times. Made it to the top. Got vertigo. Made friends with Vaas. 10/10, would question my sanity again.

Jan. 2025

Played through Far Cry 3 for the first time. Is the game really from 2012? The game looks really cool for its age! Or was there a graphics update? I was really amazed.

Nov. 2024

10/10 game. Highly recommend. Great story, characters and fun gameplay. Best Farcry game.

Aug. 2024

It's clear why Far Cry 3 became the blueprint for what the open world genre would become, even to the modern day. It may be missing some of the quality of life features we see in modern open world games, but even to this day, over 12 years after its release, Far Cry 3 remains a fantastic time and something I recommend all open world fans play. Far Cry 3 above all else feels authentic and its clear the developers had a great time making this game. The story is wild and crazy, the characters are full of life, the open world is vast and fun to traverse, and the game isn't afraid to get weird. REALLY weird. Overall a fantastic time, even 12 years later.

April 2024

The best Far Cry so far, the game really feels nostalgic considering the great performance in plot and the game design had back in 2012. When ubisoft really cared to make good games.
