If you enjoy open-world shooters with lots of freedom, side content, and emergent moments, Far Cry 4 delivers a highly engaging experience.

I first played Far Cry 4 on Xbox One back in 2015 and it quickly became my favorite in the series. The setting, the plot, the characters, etc. were all incredible back then. Replaying it again on PC is no different. It's still my favorite in the series and one of my favorite games period. The PC version does have some bugs, like the no audio issue after the opening cutscene, but disabling the enhanced modes in my audio settings on Windows 11 fixed it right away. Funny enough the backwards compatible Series X/S version looks better than on my high end PC at ultra settings. I'd imagine it has better current optimization and upgraded graphic output compared to the PC version still being the original that released alongside the 360/One/PS3/PS4 version from 12 years ago. Plays well on Steam Deck too, just have to adjust some of the in game graphic settings and lower the frame rate to 60 to not have twitchy movement on there with anything above medium graphics. I found custom settings with a mix of high and very high worked well on Steam Deck. Overall Far Cry 4 is one of those games alongside classics like RDR, GTA San Andreas, Borderlands 2, etc that I could personally play repeatedly from start to finish and still love every time.
