What is Far Cry® 4?

An open-world first-person shooter set in Kyrat, a region of forests, valleys, and snow-covered mountains under Pagan Min’s forces. You hunt wildlife and attack outposts with stealth, firearms, crossbows, explosives, or war elephants, traveling by gyrocopter or wingsuit alone or in drop-in co-op.

For you if...

+you enjoy switching between stealth, gunplay, and animal attacks
+you want drop-in co-op for exploration and hunting

Not for you if...

−you prefer tightly guided, linear shooter campaigns
−you dislike traveling across large open-world maps
