Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is the epitome of what a DLC should be, delivering a tightly focused, neon-drenched campaign that proves to be far more than a lazy reskin of the base game.
The gameplay turns you into a total killing machine with fun dragon mechanics and over-the-top weapons, offering a pure power fantasy that even removes fall damage for maximum freedom.
While the story is a self-aware cliché, it captures the perfect 80s action satire through corny characters and jokes that frequently break the fourth wall. Although the campaign length is relatively short at around 4-5 hours, this game is highly recommended for anyone seeking a nostalgic synthwave vibe and unapologetically ridiculous actions.

Absolutely awesome game. I think I enjoyed it more than FC3 base game. Initially it seems like a mod but it has a really cool 80's synthwave style which is just awesome. Guns are fun. The dragon and base mechanic is really cool. Its too long around 10 hours but that was the right amount of time for the game. Characters are over the top and funny. Its actually pretty corn and funny at the same time. I strongly recommend it to anyone who likes shooters and especially the purple haze / neon of the 80s.

It's the Ubisoft formula with all the "fat" aggressively trimmed away. It's extremely short compared to Far Cry 3, you've got approximately 8 to 10 hours of gameplay. It feels unfinished at times, but it never overstay its welcome. It’s just pure neon-soaked chaos fever dream, and distilled fun.

The cyberpunk art direction and 80s-action-movie plot are the true MVPs here. The game is a relentless barrage of references and pop-culture riffs that actually land. The punchlines are literal punch-lines that kept me smiling. Pair that with a soundtrack that is an absolute banger. Go play it.
