3. Far Cry 4 (2014)

In many ways, Far Cry 4 is just more Far Cry 3. But considering how great Far Cry 3 is, that’s not a bad thing. And after all the tropical and desert settings from the previous games, setting a Far Cry game in a more mountainous and snowy region was a smart move. I also think Pagan Min might be my favorite Far Cry villain. He’s both evil and formal, the kind of guy who will stab you in the face for sneezing, but with style and a scary smile. Far Cry 4 also added more vehicles and introduced the grappling hook, adding more verticality to the world.
