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.

  • +you like open worlds filled with outposts and side activities
  • +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

What players say

84% of 74,865 reviews are positive · 87% of 687 in the last 30 days

Players praise Kyrat’s mountain setting, varied weapons and activities, flexible stealth and combat, and Pagan Min. The most common complaint is Ubisoft Connect: players report ownership authentication failures, lost access through linked accounts, and an online launcher requirement for solo play.
