Unlike the previous game where, in contradiction with its gameplay style, the story almost always had a sense of urgency between one mission to the next, Far Cry 4’s mission’s plot compliments the exploratory nature of the environment and gameplay that is the staple of the franchise. Though some might prefer wackier interactions in their sandbox FPS experience, the change in approach seems to be for the better as a quitter protagonist and interesting yet saner NPC interactions make the experience that much more believable and hence a more immersive experience.įar Cry 4 also has better narrative pacing than Far Cry 3. While Far Cry 4 has its share of eccentric personalities, most characters are more grounded than what was present in Far Cry 3, this includes the main protagonist as Ajay is far mellower and less talkative than Jason Brody was in the previous game.
