Overview
Description

Far Cry 2 drops you into a gritty open‑world set in a fictional African country torn apart by civil war. As a mercenary, you must hunt down the arms dealer responsible for the conflict while navigating dynamic weather, spreading fires, and hostile wildlife. The game blends first‑person shooting, stealth, and sandbox freedom, offering both single‑player and cooperative multiplayer modes across PlayStation 3, PC, and Xbox 360.

Far Cry 4 drops you into the rugged kingdom of Kyrat, a land of towering Himalayas, dense forests, and snow‑capped peaks teeming with wildlife and danger. As Ajay Ghale, you must navigate a civil war, topple the tyrant Pagan Min, and survive the unforgiving environment using a vast arsenal and unique transport options. The game blends first‑person shooting, stealth, and sandbox freedom, letting you pilot a gyrocopter, glide in a wing‑suit, or ride a six‑ton elephant while hunting resources, crafting gear, and confronting both human foes and fierce animals.
