The Far Cry series has long stood as a great example of what Ubisoft can do with an open world, known for its exotic settings, charismatic villains, and chaotic gameplay. Over the years, the Far Cry franchise has taken significant evolutionary leaps by introducing new mechanics and expanding its world design. Unfortunately, this evolution hasn’t always been welcomed with open arms by its fans. With each new installment, Far Cry has faced nearly insurmountable criticism as it attempts to offer something both veteran fans and newcomers alike can appreciate, but that's difficult to do when nostalgia is often at stake.
