I really can't say how much everything just seems so prefect in farcry 4 . I mean back in 2014 when it was released it was hated for being repetitive , but nowdays I'm seeing nothing but love from people for the game
Not to mention it has the best flight traversal of all FC games with the 1man gyrocopter. The world in FC 4 is utterly beautiful.with crazy wildlife. Elephant riding was a hoot.
Ya the problem with far cry 4 at the time of release was it was just too similar to 3 and 3 was a better game. Like for me when I played on launch I hated it but when I waited a few years and played all the way through I really liked it. It's the last good far cry imo.
I liked far cry 5 map. I always liked farm areas they always felt alluring to me the peace and quiet with a gorgeous warm backdrop creates a Heavenly ambiance. Hope County Feels like HOME to me
As a non-American, I really liked hope county in FC5, the game had some really good aesthetics to it and on occasion I genuinely found myself going to certain areas to take screenshots, the place felt lived in and the lack of water meant driving wasn't as difficult if you wanted to take yourself off the roads, it's not exotic but I've seen the tropical aesthetic sort of overused to the point I liked the grounded areas of 5, I hope they do something unique in FC7 that isn't just tropical islands.
I hope they do some sort of Soviet-80's suburbs kind of thing... Or maybe the Australian outback vibe mixed with very modern city-like pieces. I personally have had my share of asian or south-american vibe.
I love the maps of 4 and 6 because the culture of the area is infused into every facet of the world. In 4 in particular, you can really appreciate the history and life of the region more than any of the other games
I actually think the Montana setting is super cool and “exotic”. It’s just perspective, but I personally find that sort of nature/setting/area to be more interesting/beautiful. It was also cool to see the far cry games go somewhere less remote and with a western euro American style architecture/setting/environment.
Gotta agree, after playing all Far Cry games so many times Far Cry Primal imo has the most beautiful and unique open world in the series and clearly doesn't get enough credit for it but FC3 will always be the better all around open world for me and 4 is also right there at the top.
Thank you for giving Primal the love it deserves. The world is truly incredible, just close your eyes and listen to the environment around you. IMO it's emersion done right. You can feel the tension during the night as something hunts you and the sun and wind on your face as you explore and hunt for food. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Master Assassin.
Primal was my first far cry game one of my friends was finished with it and he let me borrow it absolutely amazing game I then played far cry 3, 5 and new dawn I have yet to play 4 and am currently playing 6
YES! YES! YES! That's exactly what I would rate the FC4 world as. I think appearing to be lived in is the secret ingredient in this awesome world. No matter where you go in FC4 you always encounter some interesting thing. It is hard to explain for me but FC4's world feels so real, and that's the real beauty of it. Primal, man! it is a beautiful world but what it does best is the night time. I have not played many games but I'm pretty sure it does the night time better than most of the games out there. The moonlit night filled with predators is just terrifying yet beautiful at the same time. I love free roaming in FC Primal's nights. FC5, I hated the first time I played it but may be it was because I was fresh coming off of FC4 and The Witcher 3. Playing on its own merit, FC5's world, like you said, grew on me. It is beautiful and the traversal is very smooth but the emptiness is its biggest let down. FC3, it is very beautiful and the epoch of FC's successful formula but technical limitations hold it back. In technology, the pioneers, no matter how revolutionary those are in their time, are always one upped by the polished version, i.e., FC4. Thanks for making these awesome videos.
FC5 is still my fav. I loved the atmosphere, the different terrains and towns made exploration unique, the side quests, the vehicles, fishing, hunting... I even liked the story. I never understood how so many disliked it, but too each their own 🤷🏼♂️
I REALLY want Far Cry to come back to Africa. I personally would have ranked FC2 in the top 3 personally and I loved it. Far Cry I feel used Tropical maps too much which is why Far Cry 4 & 5 are some of my favourites so I personally think going to Africa for like Far Cry 7 would be really cool in a newer game with different terrains.
They should add more iconic African wildlife too. Far cry 2 only had some zebras and antelope. I would love to see elephants, giraffes, lions, hyenas, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs etc.
Far cry 2 is the best map, its immersive and believable and has a great moody tone and is quite unique. I dont like this video because he is talking about the world in each game but when he came to fc2 he started bitchin about fc2's game mechanics, like wth?
I love every far cry game (exxept new dawn) and I love all the open worlds, but I think far cry 6 is the best for me, I think it is the most interesting. I just love the whole vibe of it.
I would have mentioned how Far Cry 4 weaves the collectibles into the story much better than the other days. The masks of Yalung specifically but also the lost letters and Mohan Ghale's journal in FC4 are always in custom, interesting, challenging, & gorgeous locations. The collectibles in FC3 are generic, there are too many, & the environment they are found in definitely doesn't help further the story. The same can be said of FC5, do you remember the barrel collectible? So boring! My favorite part of FC5 was the prepper stashes, & they should have invested more time into those unique environments that are rich with story.
My most favorite map from the all the Far Cry games in my opinion is Far Cry 2, whenever the player travels through any of the games 4 major biomes. The greatest feature the devs have ever put in Far Cry 2, were the animal sounds that went just purely perfect for the sounds of ingame ambience. In real life, if I ever travel to Africa and go further inland in each one of those biomes I would exactly hear the same ambient sounds I heard before when playing Far Cry 2.
They did a great job with 2, my dad understands both Afrikaans and Zulu and whenever I was around ‘outposts’ i’d hear him chuckling in the other room coz of what they were saying🙈😂
I'm happy you gave Primal good recognition that was my favorite Far Cry literally because of what you said, it makes you feel like a caveman. Also I love the animal companions in Primal.
and I am disappointed he did not give FC 1 the proper recognition. This game was a benchmark back in 2004, the best looking game of that time. period. And it wasn't meant to be a f*** sandbox which should be taken into consideration.
@@maripyter Primal is the only one I really liked or kept my attention. I played one but don't remember to much about it because I had it on the wii and didn't like the wii. I also tried a little of the others but none drew me in. Primal was different then a normal far cry game and could easily be it's own game instead. However I enjoyed the land of oros, the creatures, the enemies. I always wanted a caveman type game and this delivered that fix for me.
Another awesome thing with FC4 open world is that the landscape gradually changes when you are going north - more rocks and mountains, different foliage with different colors - it makes game progression more interesting.
YES, Far Cry 4 is exactly like a painting - what's cool is when you explore a new location a little 'intro' to it displays and there's always a cool file to read about it - I remember the crashed plane on top of a massive hill that took ages to get to and was worth it. Feels a lot more time/care was spent on it vs. other games. Great video!
I appreciate you were willing to put 3 as low as you did on the list. A lot of people are trapped by nostalgia saying that it’s the best game ever made
Each region felt the same to me besides the city, and even then Esperanza was an expanded version of the smaller towns. El Este was my favourite as it had the long road to the south, the jaguar's and decent outposts to the west, and probably the best region to have a gun battle in.
Far Cry 6 is by far the worst imo. The whole world feels exactly the same, it's soulless and there isn't one spot that I would remember. None of the cities have any character and even the capitol is mostly blocked off cause it's unfinished.
I would have Hope County, Yara and Kyrat on the same level, traversing the world in Far Cry 5 with the great music feels relaxing, Yara for its colorful tropical world, and Kyrat for the Himalayan mountains. Great video as always, Merry Xmas
I haven't played Primal yet, but I think you did a great list. Happy to see Kyrat getting the appreciation it deserves, FC4 was one of the first games I got platinum trophy on. Also, couldn't agree more about Radio Free Kyrat, although it had repeated monologues, it was still funny and I personally missed things like that in other FC games.
I liked the world of Far Cary 5. I think for most players Montana is exotic. And from my experiences in Montana they got the culture and tone nailed pretty well (a lot of the side characters’ archetypes can be seen out there if not quite as dramatically represented in the game)
My favorite is Far cry 5 , I was baked out of my mind while playing through it and you can imagine how beautiful and trippy it was. The entire story was awsome and mainly because i always wanted to see a cult take over a town and see how the government reacts. by the end i believed in everything Joseph Seed said, he was right the whole time he just went about it the wrong way to help people. in far cry new dawn he's still alive and he's a good man now that everyone understands he was right, even people that he tried to have killed respect him and he helps you, and the rookie is still with him but silent and wearing a mask. i chose to spare him after i killed his evil son, not because i wanted to torture him but because i respect and admire his ideals and beliefs, you could say he converted me lol.
Only thing I missed from all Far Cry open worlds is the weather. I haven't played with 6 yet, but rains and storms could have been soooo amazing in previous titles.
I would be okay with either Far Cry 3 or 4 when it comes to specifically ranking the world. Although it is not specifically part of the world in FC4, Shangri La is absolutely gorgeous and my favourite visuals in that game. I wish so badly that the narrative wasn’t horrible in FC4. I always want to go back and replay it for the world and gameplay, but I can’t stand it. Far Cry 3 will always be my go to as it has by far the best narrative. FC4’s story alone brings the game down from a 9 to a 6 or 7 for me.
Out of all the games I'd put Far Cry 5's Montana at #1. It has so much more life than the others and it's just... realistic and beautiful. Hunting in the woods american style, walking in the big open fields watching the far away mountains. Far Cry 5 is the only one that has really impressive side quests, I really loved the Larry Parker side quest, felt really unique.
Agree 100% I really enjoy the quiet Kyrat mod with 4. Primal is so unique I often find myself loading that one up too. 5 has really well made roads and avenues of travel which help strengthen the vehicle gameplay.
For me, it is very difficult to choose between Yara and Kyrat. Both are wonderfull in their own ways. 3rd place, also with a very special place in my heart, would be 5's Hope County. Granted, I have never played Primal.
Hope county is definitely my favorite setting. Sure, it isn't exotic, but it's one of the few open worlds that felt real. I for once was able to relate and appreciate the open world because it's so similar to where I live. I live in Alabama so the farms, country accents, weird attractions, and all the other little details they added really made it work for me. It's also hilarious, the humor in that game is amazing.
Yeah fr, the views above the mountains are so refreshing and beautiful. And uuuh, u love in Alabama? Hehe, sry to be that guy but. "Sweet home, Alabama" xD
For me personally, the only downside to Yara is that you can't access Esperanza after the prologue except if you're on specific missions or bruteforcing your way through. They could've at least made curfew temporary like in Concepción or free the city once you finish the game. Other than that, Yara takes the top spot for me because it's beautiful, the setting is great and most importantly, it's not as sparely populated as Kyrat and therefore feels like part of a modern society.
I think 5 is the best game overall but I have a soft spot for 4. When I was younger I took a road trip from Pune India all the way to Kathmandu Nepal. Far Cry 4 nails the Nepalese locale. I always feel nostalgic playing 4. I think back to that last 150 miles or so. Riding through the mountains in our TATA Sumo. Passing trucks with the abyss inches away. Terrifying and exhilarating all at once. I have to say - I have spent far more time in India. But when I crossed that border into Nepal it was magic. Suddenly the Deccan Plateau gives way and the land looks as though it has been broken. Stabbing up into the sky. The change from flat ground to mountains is the most abrupt you will ever experience. No real foothills. Just BAM mountains. And the women seemed to change just as quickly lol Nepalese styles were similar yet different. The nepalese women were gorgeous. The people in general in both India and Nepal were the most welcoming and hospitable I have ever encountered. If you can do it- go visit. Don't stay in the large cities. Have a local take you to a dive bar. Buy everyone drinks and talk to them. Be polite and humble and you will get warmth from the people there. Act a fool and you might get slapped like a child LOL
Something I love abaut the valle de oros map, is the feeling of progress it gives to the player. I remember that the mountains and I first had to craft a special close in order to stay warm, you can also use the torch to do that.
Far Cry 6 is the first far cry game I've gotten, and I've got to say, I'm in love with this game. I like playing open-world RPGS like Fallout, Skyrim, etc, and the game really just speaks to me.
First video of yours I've seen. Completely agree with Kyrat in first place. The locations were so diverse. The notes, King Min's Encyclopedia, and other world building made it super immersive. I'd be happy to return to Kyrat. Maybe see how the Golden Path internal struggle turned out with Pagan gone. Anyhow, excellent review. New sub.
I didn't notice that connection between far cry 4 and primal. It's a minor detail I think, but Primal is still an amazing game in its own right. I love the permadeath mode. oddly enough it made me more willing to hunt and run around at night. I did a live stream where roughly a quarter of the way through I grappled down a wall, on my last life (since playing on second chance) and I glitched through the ground and got game over. Frustrating? Yes. Immersion breaking? Yes. Funny? In hindsight, yes... sorta lol
The Rook Islands, specifically the denser north island, is the only landscape that feels alive, and Jason turns this terrifying, hostile environment into his domain. It's incredibly immersive. I remember in the beginning I hesitated to collect plants at the bottom of a small lake in broad daylight, being cautious of alligators. Then by the end, I was swimming through a near pitch dark cave, daring anything to come and get killed.
I honestly cannot tell you which ones my favourite , each Far Cry world has just completely made me far in one with them , and if you look from my perspective you will understand . So I live in South Africa first off ( keep that in mind ) . I played the first but at the time I was like 8 so I barely remember it but it was ok , when two came out I loved it , since I live in South Africa the open savannah was instantly recognisable to me , not to much the old towns am dirt roads but Ubisoft nailed that , 3 was just phenomenal , it really captured what my perception about Oceania was about , and it was just brutal and unforgiving , 4 is just blimmine FANTASTIC , I love that region of the world and since we have quite a large Indian/Hindu community in South Africa parting with some of my Indian friends made it wholesome and just getting rammed by a rhino or attacked by an eagle really made the world dangerous , not to mention the constant backdrop of the Himalayas made you feel completly isolated and separated from the modern world , 3 and 4 also gave me the vibe of how life is in a war-torn , third world country and made me feel appreciate of where I live . 5 was great , Ive never been to the states but it basically summed up my thoughts , beautiful landscape , good roads and I felt like a real American just going around blasting shit up (we don't really have guns in South Africa ) . 6 is just WOW for me , I've been to Cuba and its like looking in a mirror , the cars , roads , towns , people , from the jungle to the farmlands if felt real . As for new dawn , primal and even blood dragon , New Dawn was ok , I didn't really like it but I still enjoy the world , with primal it really made me feel like I need to find a campsite when night comes or I really need to eat tis food , it it brutal , hostile , unforgiving and wild , and thats just awesome . Now blood dragon , dragons and 80s style gin , just awesome
This made me remember how much I loved Kyrat. ❤ Recently I 100% completed the game again had such a strange feeling at the end. I started thinking about the fact that I probably wouldn’t be playing the game for awhile, and it saddened me that I wouldn’t be seeing the people that I’d gotten to know so closely. It felt like I was actually leaving that world and the characters were all going to go on without me and live their lives like they were real people but inside a game. One of the strangest feelings ever next to the feeling I get when I revisit dark souls 1 every now and again.
I haven’t played every FC but this is my list: 1. FC 2 (the jungles felt deep, immersive and dark) 2. FC 5 (beautiful distant landscapes and nature) 3. FC Primal (loved the deep, untouched woods) 4. FC 4 (same as FC5 but I didn’t like the cold landscape as much) 5. FC 3 (lacked the deep jungles I loved from FC2 but had beautiful tropical beaches and blue seas) This ranking is purely based on the open worlds and not story, gameplay or anything else though.
I'm from Nepal and the beautiful mountain on the back drop is Ama Dablam. I remember pausing and taking screenshots a lot an even recording some clips and sending it to my friends because they looked absolutely stunning !
I remember those days. Just bought the SVD Sniper and went to a hill nearby an outpost. Lay down soms mines on the roads for the convoy and just went to town on them. Far Cry 2 is still a legend, hope they will ever do a proper remaster. The only games with AC Brotherhood i played up to 5 times
Hi, Thank you for appreciating the beauty of open world of Kyrat. You are correct I have never played a game that was located in Nepal or other Asian countries. I felt very connected when I played this game and it looks stunning even in 2022, so many years after the release date of the game.
in far cry 6 i love getting on a jet ski and just cruising in the sea past islands and mangroves also, sometimes a fisherman’s boat topples over and you can turn off your engine and watch them get eaten while they cry out for help and try to swim to you for help. bubbles even appear as you slowly see them drown. it’s hilarious
Far Cry 4 is my favorite. As someone who can understand Hindi and love Himalayan regions I really enjoyed the game, the setting and background music. The journey of Kyra was top notch especially someone who understand the Hindi
Ngl my favorite is Yara just bc i was born in Venezuela, a caribean country and several of the locations made me nostalgic bc i left my country a few years ago and it made me remember some good moments
I rarely agree 100% with any review like this, but this is one time I just can't find fault with your rankings, or anything you've said. Brilliant! I'm currently replaying Far Cry 4, because to me it's by far the best game in the series.
Many complained about Primal just copy pasting the FC4 map but in all honesty when I first played it, I didn't even notice. I only learned it later from videos ranting about it. I also liked the world and itnwas very immersive and well done.
I want a redux version where you can fly to each of these locations and experience them as a kind of tourist character (like what Jason was trying to do). It'd be cool to do this for the Grand Theft Auto/Manhunt franchise too.
I think the map that stuck with me the most was Yara. The other maps are great and it sounds super pretentious when people say “the location itself was a character.” But it really was in far cry 6.
I feel like a good area for a future far cry place would be a snowy Alaska or Northern Canada-like location far from actual civilisations but there would still be a couple villages scattered throughout
@@XvlerLorenzo well I'm not sure honestly I was just thinking since we haven't really had one in a snow filled location so Siberia, Alaska or Canada I don't really mind whatever time period it could be in tho
I agree with you about Far Cry 4 being number one, becouse I also enjoyed the atmosphere. But when I played the game I couldn't help to feel a downgrade from the second region. The map felt very dead and not as beautiful then I completed the mission in which I had to capture the bridge that led to the second region.
The second region is my favorite part of the game for some reason. Whenever I play the game again, I'm always in the second region and rarely in the first.
Far Cry 2's world, while it can't be interacted nowhere near to the degree of the future games, is unpredictable. The only one of the bunch which has actually caught me off guard and one can't forget about the detail and aesthetics - best in the series, all though that's just my opinion. I'd honestly rank Blood Dragon lower if anything.. the map itself never really sat well with me.
While I agree that Kyrat is the best, Hope County is my 2nd favorite partially because I’ve never played Primal but mostly I’m from Montana and I can say that it really feels like places like the Bitterroot Valley and the Eastern Helena Valley, and I think they also depicted the culture of Montana really well (unlike other media depicting Montana like the movie Clancy)
The only problem I have with far cry 2 is that the enemies spot me even when I don't make any noise at all, that's the only problem with the game, and the malaria thing is kinda of a problem too
FC3 will always have a special place in my heart. First time when I launched the game and played for 30 mins I was blown away by the immersive, vibrant open world and the possibility it offers. Recently, I started playing FC4 and yes I am loving it. FC2 I tried but dropped cause of its dry, colorless environment, I know it is suitable for Africa, but I can't relate to it tbh.
Love the music in Far Cry 6. I could drive around or fly around in the Uni-Copter and listen to it. A lot of that music is very catchy. I love the detection system if flying in areas and you get a warning about being shot down. So, go take out the Anti-Aircraft artillery cannons. My 2 favorite companions are Chicharron and Guapo.
4 was the best in the series for quite a few reasons. The map and open world is certainly one of them, but also the rpg elements were the best balanced against the shooter elements out of any of the games, plus it had the arena which idk why they haven't done that again since because that was so much fun I want more maps and challenges for it
Far Cry 5 was unbelievable, in both atmosphere and immersion. one of my all time favourite games, and it combined by love for both a country setting and the post-apocalyptic genre into one masterpiece
I have not but I do own some of the games and have been wanting to try it for a long time now! Do you have any suggestions for which games in the series I should try?

Same
When it comes to story 3 steals the spotlight
The story is a minor factor in FC for me
4 Improved on everything from 3.
For me 4 is better because u have more guns and other things. Far cry 3 had a good story but thats not really a big reason for me to like far cry.
I liked far cry 5 map. I always liked farm areas they always felt alluring to me the peace and quiet with a gorgeous warm backdrop creates a Heavenly ambiance. Hope County Feels like HOME to me
I think Far Cry 5 felt a bit better mapwise if you did not live in the USA. I really enjoyed that world.
I enjoyed the farm areas as well, and the rivers.

I hope they do some sort of Soviet-80's suburbs kind of thing... Or maybe the Australian outback vibe mixed with very modern city-like pieces. I personally have had my share of asian or south-american vibe.

Gotta agree, after playing all Far Cry games so many times Far Cry Primal imo has the most beautiful and unique open world in the series and clearly doesn't get enough credit for it but FC3 will always be the better all around open world for me and 4 is also right there at the top.
My favourite is Primal mostly because they did something really different. Also inventing new languages with language experts. Creative and very fun.
Thank you for giving Primal the love it deserves. The world is truly incredible, just close your eyes and listen to the environment around you. IMO it's emersion done right. You can feel the tension during the night as something hunts you and the sun and wind on your face as you explore and hunt for food. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Master Assassin.
The northern part of the Primal map is my favourite. The snowy northern wastelands look incredible.
Well i thought farcry primal would be last but its finally is getting some recognition
Primal was my first far cry game one of my friends was finished with it and he let me borrow it absolutely amazing game I then played far cry 3, 5 and new dawn I have yet to play 4 and am currently playing 6

YES! YES! YES! That's exactly what I would rate the FC4 world as. I think appearing to be lived in is the secret ingredient in this awesome world. No matter where you go in FC4 you always encounter some interesting thing. It is hard to explain for me but FC4's world feels so real, and that's the real beauty of it.
Primal, man! it is a beautiful world but what it does best is the night time. I have not played many games but I'm pretty sure it does the night time better than most of the games out there. The moonlit night filled with predators is just terrifying yet beautiful at the same time. I love free roaming in FC Primal's nights.
FC5, I hated the first time I played it but may be it was because I was fresh coming off of FC4 and The Witcher 3. Playing on its own merit, FC5's world, like you said, grew on me. It is beautiful and the traversal is very smooth but the emptiness is its biggest let down.
FC3, it is very beautiful and the epoch of FC's successful formula but technical limitations hold it back. In technology, the pioneers, no matter how revolutionary those are in their time, are always one upped by the polished version, i.e., FC4.
Thanks for making these awesome videos.
FC5 is still my fav. I loved the atmosphere, the different terrains and towns made exploration unique, the side quests, the vehicles, fishing, hunting... I even liked the story. I never understood how so many disliked it, but too each their own 🤷🏼♂️
The fact that so many parts of it are based on real locations in Montana sold it for me. A greater chance of ever actually going there.
i also loved in Far Cry 4 when you get to harder areas, the enemies have higher tier weapons, its a subtle thing but it goes a long way.
I REALLY want Far Cry to come back to Africa. I personally would have ranked FC2 in the top 3 personally and I loved it. Far Cry I feel used Tropical maps too much which is why Far Cry 4 & 5 are some of my favourites so I personally think going to Africa for like Far Cry 7 would be really cool in a newer game with different terrains.
Yeah I wouldnt say Farcry 2 looks tropical but it has the tropical fauna and things like that
They could go back and do a story of what happened afterwards from far cry 2
I would love far cry 7 to be in Africa, to resemble fc2 in a way, and have realistic gameplay and a good story,
Is that too much ubisoft ?
They should add more iconic African wildlife too. Far cry 2 only had some zebras and antelope. I would love to see elephants, giraffes, lions, hyenas, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs etc.
Far cry 2 is the best map, its immersive and believable and has a great moody tone and is quite unique. I dont like this video because he is talking about the world in each game but when he came to fc2 he started bitchin about fc2's game mechanics, like wth?
I love every far cry game (exxept new dawn) and I love all the open worlds, but I think far cry 6 is the best for me, I think it is the most interesting. I just love the whole vibe of it.
Facts
I look forward to your videos man, they are great
I would have mentioned how Far Cry 4 weaves the collectibles into the story much better than the other days. The masks of Yalung specifically but also the lost letters and Mohan Ghale's journal in FC4 are always in custom, interesting, challenging, & gorgeous locations. The collectibles in FC3 are generic, there are too many, & the environment they are found in definitely doesn't help further the story. The same can be said of FC5, do you remember the barrel collectible? So boring! My favorite part of FC5 was the prepper stashes, & they should have invested more time into those unique environments that are rich with story.
My most favorite map from the all the Far Cry games in my opinion is Far Cry 2, whenever the player travels through any of the games 4 major biomes. The greatest feature the devs have ever put in Far Cry 2, were the animal sounds that went just purely perfect for the sounds of ingame ambience. In real life, if I ever travel to Africa and go further inland in each one of those biomes I would exactly hear the same ambient sounds I heard before when playing Far Cry 2.
They did a great job with 2, my dad understands both Afrikaans and Zulu and whenever I was around ‘outposts’ i’d hear him chuckling in the other room coz of what they were saying🙈😂
I'm happy you gave Primal good recognition that was my favorite Far Cry literally because of what you said, it makes you feel like a caveman. Also I love the animal companions in Primal.
and I am disappointed he did not give FC 1 the proper recognition. This game was a benchmark back in 2004, the best looking game of that time. period. And it wasn't meant to be a f*** sandbox which should be taken into consideration.
@@maripyter Primal is the only one I really liked or kept my attention. I played one but don't remember to much about it because I had it on the wii and didn't like the wii. I also tried a little of the others but none drew me in. Primal was different then a normal far cry game and could easily be it's own game instead. However I enjoyed the land of oros, the creatures, the enemies. I always wanted a caveman type game and this delivered that fix for me.
@@danielperry8532 Primal is the only game I didn't bother finishing. I never noticed the open world cos I was too busy getting eaten 😂
Primal is definitely top notch. It’s the only one that I’ve gotten most of the trophies in
Another awesome thing with FC4 open world is that the landscape gradually changes when you are going north - more rocks and mountains, different foliage with different colors - it makes game progression more interesting.
it changes in FC 3, the second island is environmentally different
There's even more variety in Far Cry 1
and FC 5 sucks completely
@@maripyter hm, seems I have no memory of this. But I think the changes are less obvious than in FC4.
@@Resvain It's actually kinda hard to miss, Hoyt's island is much more urbanized, with less foliage and all that.
@@pera_king3720 fair point, I just wish the flora would change in some way as well
YES, Far Cry 4 is exactly like a painting - what's cool is when you explore a new location a little 'intro' to it displays and there's always a cool file to read about it - I remember the crashed plane on top of a massive hill that took ages to get to and was worth it. Feels a lot more time/care was spent on it vs. other games. Great video!
Far cry 6 does the same thing I think they pulled that from 4
I appreciate you were willing to put 3 as low as you did on the list. A lot of people are trapped by nostalgia saying that it’s the best game ever made
Far Cry 6 is my favorite open world, the story leaves more to be desired but the world is amazing
Each region felt the same to me besides the city, and even then Esperanza was an expanded version of the smaller towns. El Este was my favourite as it had the long road to the south, the jaguar's and decent outposts to the west, and probably the best region to have a gun battle in.
Far Cry 6 is by far the worst imo. The whole world feels exactly the same, it's soulless and there isn't one spot that I would remember. None of the cities have any character and even the capitol is mostly blocked off cause it's unfinished.
I would have Hope County, Yara and Kyrat on the same level, traversing the world in Far Cry 5 with the great music feels relaxing, Yara for its colorful tropical world, and Kyrat for the Himalayan mountains. Great video as always, Merry Xmas
Hop county so boring, so is Far Cry 2. New Dawn is just disgraceful.
FC 4 >>>>> FC 3 >> FC Primal >> FC 1

For me Yara is no doubt the best, enormous and the colora fit so well
Yeah not the best story but the open world is just amazing
The music, the landscape, the people everything is perfect in FarCry 4. Also Farcry Primal gives a vibe of the very old early men era.
I haven't played Primal yet, but I think you did a great list. Happy to see Kyrat getting the appreciation it deserves, FC4 was one of the first games I got platinum trophy on. Also, couldn't agree more about Radio Free Kyrat, although it had repeated monologues, it was still funny and I personally missed things like that in other FC games.
I recommend getting Primal. If you want something fresh and immersive you should definitely go pick it up.
@@nazeemthedream4764 Bought it today! :)
@@lukagajiic7921 Have Fun Bro! :)
They all have really good worlds and design
Nice video 🔥
I liked the world of Far Cary 5. I think for most players Montana is exotic. And from my experiences in Montana they got the culture and tone nailed pretty well (a lot of the side characters’ archetypes can be seen out there if not quite as dramatically represented in the game)
My favorite is Far cry 5 , I was baked out of my mind while playing through it and you can imagine how beautiful and trippy it was. The entire story was awsome and mainly because i always wanted to see a cult take over a town and see how the government reacts. by the end i believed in everything Joseph Seed said, he was right the whole time he just went about it the wrong way to help people. in far cry new dawn he's still alive and he's a good man now that everyone understands he was right, even people that he tried to have killed respect him and he helps you, and the rookie is still with him but silent and wearing a mask. i chose to spare him after i killed his evil son, not because i wanted to torture him but because i respect and admire his ideals and beliefs, you could say he converted me lol.
Yep if your absolutely bbq’ed hope county is the greatest
@@etangbose4755 worst, you mean
Only thing I missed from all Far Cry open worlds is the weather. I haven't played with 6 yet, but rains and storms could have been soooo amazing in previous titles.
I would be okay with either Far Cry 3 or 4 when it comes to specifically ranking the world. Although it is not specifically part of the world in FC4, Shangri La is absolutely gorgeous and my favourite visuals in that game. I wish so badly that the narrative wasn’t horrible in FC4. I always want to go back and replay it for the world and gameplay, but I can’t stand it. Far Cry 3 will always be my go to as it has by far the best narrative. FC4’s story alone brings the game down from a 9 to a 6 or 7 for me.
Out of all the games I'd put Far Cry 5's Montana at #1. It has so much more life than the others and it's just... realistic and beautiful. Hunting in the woods american style, walking in the big open fields watching the far away mountains. Far Cry 5 is the only one that has really impressive side quests, I really loved the Larry Parker side quest, felt really unique.

Primal is the most underrated FarCry game, and for me its the second best one after FC 3
Agree 100% I really enjoy the quiet Kyrat mod with 4. Primal is so unique I often find myself loading that one up too. 5 has really well made roads and avenues of travel which help strengthen the vehicle gameplay.
My top 3 from my favourite to least favourite (relatively):
Hope county (Far cry 5, not new dawn)
Oros
Kyrat
For me, it is very difficult to choose between Yara and Kyrat. Both are wonderfull in their own ways. 3rd place, also with a very special place in my heart, would be 5's Hope County. Granted, I have never played Primal.
Hope county is definitely my favorite setting. Sure, it isn't exotic, but it's one of the few open worlds that felt real. I for once was able to relate and appreciate the open world because it's so similar to where I live. I live in Alabama so the farms, country accents, weird attractions, and all the other little details they added really made it work for me. It's also hilarious, the humor in that game is amazing.
Ikr it felt very real
Yeah fr, the views above the mountains are so refreshing and beautiful. And uuuh, u love in Alabama? Hehe, sry to be that guy but. "Sweet home, Alabama" xD
Its exotic to people outside of America
Man I am also from 🇮🇳India and I love your work and I would like to have such a video for assassin creed games
I am also from india bro
For me personally, the only downside to Yara is that you can't access Esperanza after the prologue except if you're on specific missions or bruteforcing your way through. They could've at least made curfew temporary like in Concepción or free the city once you finish the game. Other than that, Yara takes the top spot for me because it's beautiful, the setting is great and most importantly, it's not as sparely populated as Kyrat and therefore feels like part of a modern society.
I think 5 is the best game overall but I have a soft spot for 4.
When I was younger I took a road trip from Pune India all the way to Kathmandu Nepal.
Far Cry 4 nails the Nepalese locale. I always feel nostalgic playing 4.
I think back to that last 150 miles or so. Riding through the mountains in our TATA Sumo. Passing trucks with the abyss inches away. Terrifying and exhilarating all at once.
I have to say - I have spent far more time in India. But when I crossed that border into Nepal it was magic. Suddenly the Deccan Plateau gives way and the land looks as though it has been broken. Stabbing up into the sky. The change from flat ground to mountains is the most abrupt you will ever experience. No real foothills. Just BAM mountains.
And the women seemed to change just as quickly lol
Nepalese styles were similar yet different. The nepalese women were gorgeous. The people in general in both India and Nepal were the most welcoming and hospitable I have ever encountered.
If you can do it- go visit. Don't stay in the large cities. Have a local take you to a dive bar. Buy everyone drinks and talk to them.
Be polite and humble and you will get warmth from the people there.
Act a fool and you might get slapped like a child LOL
I don’t know if you’ve done this already, but if you are doing all the far cry games definitely rank the villains
Would anyone be able to dethrone Vaas?

Appreciate your content master assassin i like how u know ur audience btw im an indian too
far cry 4 environment hooked me in so much.. i felt so calm just sitting in one place and looking at the landscape
I remember everytime I'd play far cry 4 I'd just get amazed by the map everytime I always would find some amazing view to look at
Something I love abaut the valle de oros map, is the feeling of progress it gives to the player. I remember that the mountains and I first had to craft a special close in order to stay warm, you can also use the torch to do that.
Far Cry 6 is the first far cry game I've gotten, and I've got to say, I'm in love with this game. I like playing open-world RPGS like Fallout, Skyrim, etc, and the game really just speaks to me.
Hope county is my favourite. Walked around saying “this is beautiful” over and over. Far cry 4 is second
4 & 6 are hands down my favorites and could play them again and a again.
First video of yours I've seen. Completely agree with Kyrat in first place. The locations were so diverse. The notes, King Min's Encyclopedia, and other world building made it super immersive. I'd be happy to return to Kyrat. Maybe see how the Golden Path internal struggle turned out with Pagan gone.
Anyhow, excellent review. New sub.
Took some parts? The entire Oros map is Far Cry 4s map, Oros Valley swaps places with Far Cry 3
I didn't notice that connection between far cry 4 and primal. It's a minor detail I think, but Primal is still an amazing game in its own right. I love the permadeath mode. oddly enough it made me more willing to hunt and run around at night. I did a live stream where roughly a quarter of the way through I grappled down a wall, on my last life (since playing on second chance) and I glitched through the ground and got game over.
Frustrating? Yes.
Immersion breaking? Yes.
Funny? In hindsight, yes... sorta lol
yeah its a shame, i just searched it up and practically the whole map is a reskin basically
The Rook Islands, specifically the denser north island, is the only landscape that feels alive, and Jason turns this terrifying, hostile environment into his domain. It's incredibly immersive.
I remember in the beginning I hesitated to collect plants at the bottom of a small lake in broad daylight, being cautious of alligators.
Then by the end, I was swimming through a near pitch dark cave, daring anything to come and get killed.
ah yos, Oros was a wild place just the setting makes me replay the game multiple times
I honestly cannot tell you which ones my favourite , each Far Cry world has just completely made me far in one with them , and if you look from my perspective you will understand . So I live in South Africa first off ( keep that in mind ) . I played the first but at the time I was like 8 so I barely remember it but it was ok , when two came out I loved it , since I live in South Africa the open savannah was instantly recognisable to me , not to much the old towns am dirt roads but Ubisoft nailed that , 3 was just phenomenal , it really captured what my perception about Oceania was about , and it was just brutal and unforgiving , 4 is just blimmine FANTASTIC , I love that region of the world and since we have quite a large Indian/Hindu community in South Africa parting with some of my Indian friends made it wholesome and just getting rammed by a rhino or attacked by an eagle really made the world dangerous , not to mention the constant backdrop of the Himalayas made you feel completly isolated and separated from the modern world , 3 and 4 also gave me the vibe of how life is in a war-torn , third world country and made me feel appreciate of where I live . 5 was great , Ive never been to the states but it basically summed up my thoughts , beautiful landscape , good roads and I felt like a real American just going around blasting shit up (we don't really have guns in South Africa ) . 6 is just WOW for me , I've been to Cuba and its like looking in a mirror , the cars , roads , towns , people , from the jungle to the farmlands if felt real . As for new dawn , primal and even blood dragon , New Dawn was ok , I didn't really like it but I still enjoy the world , with primal it really made me feel like I need to find a campsite when night comes or I really need to eat tis food , it it brutal , hostile , unforgiving and wild , and thats just awesome . Now blood dragon , dragons and 80s style gin , just awesome
This made me remember how much I loved Kyrat. ❤
Recently I 100% completed the game again had such a strange feeling at the end.
I started thinking about the fact that I probably wouldn’t be playing the game for awhile,
and it saddened me that I wouldn’t be seeing the people that I’d gotten to know so closely. It felt like I was actually leaving that world and the characters were all going to go on without me and live their lives like they were real people but inside a game.
One of the strangest feelings ever next to the feeling I get when I revisit dark souls 1 every now and again.
New Dawn's map is a majority of 5's. Not just a small piece. But, these are some pretty good and fair rankings.
Great video :)
Dead channel 😍
I haven’t played every FC but this is my list:
1. FC 2 (the jungles felt deep, immersive and dark)
2. FC 5 (beautiful distant landscapes and nature)
3. FC Primal (loved the deep, untouched woods)
4. FC 4 (same as FC5 but I didn’t like the cold landscape as much)
5. FC 3 (lacked the deep jungles I loved from FC2 but had beautiful tropical beaches and blue seas)
This ranking is purely based on the open worlds and not story, gameplay or anything else though.
I played far cry 4 shortly after climbing to Everest base camp in Nepal. That game gave me goosebumps. Beautiful AF
The atmosphere and the vibes far cry 4 gives you are so good
I'm from Nepal and the beautiful mountain on the back drop is Ama Dablam. I remember pausing and taking screenshots a lot an even recording some clips and sending it to my friends because they looked absolutely stunning !
I remember those days. Just bought the SVD Sniper and went to a hill nearby an outpost. Lay down soms mines on the roads for the convoy and just went to town on them. Far Cry 2 is still a legend, hope they will ever do a proper remaster. The only games with AC Brotherhood i played up to 5 times
i thought far cry 4 introduced the roaming trucks, hell it’s the same sound effect when i honks
i love how you have something positive to say about each game
Hi,
Thank you for appreciating the beauty of open world of Kyrat. You are correct I have never played a game that was located in Nepal or other Asian countries. I felt very connected when I played this game and it looks stunning even in 2022, so many years after the release date of the game.
I fully completed far cry 4 like 6 times ❤ and u right the world is just stunning 😍
No. 1 is Kyrat for me
in far cry 6 i love getting on a jet ski and just cruising in the sea past islands and mangroves
also, sometimes a fisherman’s boat topples over and you can turn off your engine and watch them get eaten while they cry out for help and try to swim to you for help. bubbles even appear as you slowly see them drown. it’s hilarious
I got far cry 4 a while back I enjoyed it a lot and might get the third game
Far Cry 4 is my favorite. As someone who can understand Hindi and love Himalayan regions I really enjoyed the game, the setting and background music. The journey of Kyra was top notch especially someone who understand the Hindi
Ngl my favorite is Yara just bc i was born in Venezuela, a caribean country and several of the locations made me nostalgic bc i left my country a few years ago and it made me remember some good moments
Kyrat is one of my favourite video game open worlds.
I rarely agree 100% with any review like this, but this is one time I just can't find fault with your rankings, or anything you've said. Brilliant! I'm currently replaying Far Cry 4, because to me it's by far the best game in the series.
Many complained about Primal just copy pasting the FC4 map but in all honesty when I first played it, I didn't even notice. I only learned it later from videos ranting about it.
I also liked the world and itnwas very immersive and well done.
I want a redux version where you can fly to each of these locations and experience them as a kind of tourist character (like what Jason was trying to do). It'd be cool to do this for the Grand Theft Auto/Manhunt franchise too.
Would be amazing, but it would take a ridiculous amount of time to do, especially if they were building each map from scratch.
I think the map that stuck with me the most was Yara. The other maps are great and it sounds super pretentious when people say “the location itself was a character.” But it really was in far cry 6.
I loved far cry 5. It was really cool exploring the map in my opinion because I live in an area where is not much beautiful scenery like Montana
Awsome video I sat thru and watched all of it and I subbed have a good day!
I feel like a good area for a future far cry place would be a snowy Alaska or Northern Canada-like location far from actual civilisations but there would still be a couple villages scattered throughout
What do you think about Far Cry 7 set in the early to mid 1980s, taking place in the entire state of Alaska?
@@XvlerLorenzo well I'm not sure honestly I was just thinking since we haven't really had one in a snow filled location so Siberia, Alaska or Canada I don't really mind whatever time period it could be in tho
I agree with you about Far Cry 4 being number one, becouse I also enjoyed the atmosphere. But when I played the game I couldn't help to feel a downgrade from the second region. The map felt very dead and not as beautiful then I completed the mission in which I had to capture the bridge that led to the second region.
I agree, it was really mountainous as well so traversing took ages as everything was uphill
The second region is my favorite part of the game for some reason. Whenever I play the game again, I'm always in the second region and rarely in the first.
Far Cry 2's world, while it can't be interacted nowhere near to the degree of the future games, is unpredictable. The only one of the bunch which has actually caught me off guard and one can't forget about the detail and aesthetics - best in the series, all though that's just my opinion. I'd honestly rank Blood Dragon lower if anything.. the map itself never really sat well with me.
Blood Dragon sucks completely, I will never know why some people are so fascinated about it
I agree with your top 3 worlds. Those are also my top 3 favorite Far Cry games but not in that order
9:27 Not everyone in India speak hindi only 40 percentage speak it . Other like me speak 21 different languages .
While I agree that Kyrat is the best, Hope County is my 2nd favorite partially because I’ve never played Primal but mostly I’m from Montana and I can say that it really feels like places like the Bitterroot Valley and the Eastern Helena Valley, and I think they also depicted the culture of Montana really well (unlike other media depicting Montana like the movie Clancy)
Just wanna point out that fc5 didn't introduce stealing supplies trucks, that would be fc4 (I think)
Farcry Primal open world is absolutely my favorite
I’ve been replaying fc4 for the past few weeks and I love it it’s amazing.
I really like the FC 6 map. It's immersive and has an actual Urban area that isn't just a small town like FC 5 or FC 2.
I liked the map too. don't know why but far cry 6 map kinda gives off that Florida vibe to me
Nice video man, really well presented :)
The only problem I have with far cry 2 is that the enemies spot me even when I don't make any noise at all, that's the only problem with the game, and the malaria thing is kinda of a problem too
For me, Yara is absolutely the best. It is just huge
FC3 will always have a special place in my heart. First time when I launched the game and played for 30 mins I was blown away by the immersive, vibrant open world and the possibility it offers. Recently, I started playing FC4 and yes I am loving it. FC2 I tried but dropped cause of its dry, colorless environment, I know it is suitable for Africa, but I can't relate to it tbh.
Love the music in Far Cry 6. I could drive around or fly around in the Uni-Copter and listen to it. A lot of that music is very catchy. I love the detection system if flying in areas and you get a warning about being shot down. So, go take out the Anti-Aircraft artillery cannons. My 2 favorite companions are Chicharron and Guapo.
4 was the best in the series for quite a few reasons. The map and open world is certainly one of them, but also the rpg elements were the best balanced against the shooter elements out of any of the games, plus it had the arena which idk why they haven't done that again since because that was so much fun I want more maps and challenges for it
Far Cry 5 was unbelievable, in both atmosphere and immersion. one of my all time favourite games, and it combined by love for both a country setting and the post-apocalyptic genre into one masterpiece
Have you played Prince of Persia games before? It’s the very series that came before Assassin’s Creed. Just wondering.
