After his brother is killed, Jason is forced to adapt and survive by any means necessary. You play as Jason Brody, an obnoxious dudebro who finds himself captured by pirates, following what appears to be an outrageous gap year. It’s a beautiful setting, acting as a charming tribute to the original Far Cry, while simultaneously introducing a formula with which we’re now all too familiar. Set on a fictional archipelago known as The Rook Islands, Far Cry 3 is all about tropical beaches and dense, dangerous jungles brimming with wildlife. For better or worse, you’ll feel right at home with Classic Edition, if you’re at all familiar with Ubisoft’s first-person experience. After a few hours, it became clear that the foundations of the series have hardly changed at all in the past five years. Outposts, vehicles and a huge world ripe for exploration are present and accounted for.

The core elements of 2018’s Far Cry 5 are alive and kicking in this remaster. But does it stand the test of time, and do the improvements make a revisit worthwhile?īuy Far Cry 3: Classic Edition from Amazon UK

Now, with a remaster of Far Cry 3, we’re returning to where the modern formula began. Heck, it’s even ventured into prehistoric times with wooly mammoths in Primal. It’s travelled from the snowy mountains of Kyrat to the hot, sprawling fields of Hope County, Montana. Ubisoft’s Far Cry series has come a way since the initial release of its third instalment in 2012. Available on PS4 (version tested), Xbox One and PC.
