1. Far Cry 2 (2008)
There exist some Far Cry players who hate Far Cry 2 They despise the way weapons break, or the more realistic tone and approach to combat. However, these features, along with the buddy system and a unique African setting, also make Far Cry 2 stand out among all the other games. No Far Cry title has quite captured the feel of Far Cry 2 You really do feel like you are fighting for your life at times.
While some may find it a bit dull compared to later outings, it might be time for this slower and less bombastic tone to return. The Far Cry 3 formula has had ample chance to develop. It’s overly familiar now. Now seems like the best time to shake things up and return to the more grounded, survival-focused feel of Far Cry 2. As former Kotaku writer Harper Jay once said, “[Ubisoft] should look back to Far Cry 2, a game that wasn’t afraid to let things break.”
