This includes Far Cry 3 and every game after that, presumably including the upcoming Far Cry 6 (at least based on what I’ve seen so far).
And that brings me to the second type of Far Cry game, which is very much what most people currently consider a Far Cry game to be nowadays. This was a fine stretch of games in its own right, but it by no means represents the formula we identify as Far Cry today. In this category I include all of the earlier games that adhered to the template or story structure of the original game, such as the Far Cry Instincts and Far Cry Predator titles. There is the old-school category, which includes the original Far Cry, the game that in so many ways set the template for the future of the franchise (which allegedly sprung from a tech demo called X-Isle: Dinosaur Island before a full-fledged Far Cry game would be commissioned). The way I see it, there are three types of Far Cry games. And for as much as Far Cry: Blood Dragon appeared to deliver a drastically different take on the formula, aside from the aesthetic overhaul, at its core it was still very much a traditional Far Cry game, albeit in a smaller, more self-contained, 1980s neon-fueled fever dream way. Of course, entries have built upon those that came before them, like Far Cry 3 adding “RPG lite” skill trees or Far Cry 4 adding new traversal tools like the grappling hook.įar Cry Primal is most notably the largest departure for the series, doing away with traditional gun-based FPS gameplay and turning the back the clock to prehistoric times (it did reuse the Far Cry 4 map, so there’s that). It’s one of those series where each entry is mostly the same in its DNA and execution, just slightly re-branded with differing locals and despots. I have played some version of every Far Cry game to date.
