Far Cry 3 gets all the plaudits, but in hindsight, it marks a regrettable turning point in Ubisoft's outdoors FPS series - if the bloatedness, wackiness, and directionlessness of Far Cry 6 finally proved too much for people, it all started with FC3, a game of contradictory ideas and empty, junk 'content.' After a rough couple of years, thanks to Assassin's Creed Shadows, Ubisoft's fortunes might f...

The first Far Cry game was something of a blank slate. Created by Crytek, the studio that would go on to make the Crysis series and Hunt: Showdown, 2004's Far Cry was more of a proof of concept than anything else. Far Cry 2, the sequel from Ubisoft Montreal, ended up a much more confident game when it launched in 2008, outlining a future identity for the long-running action series while also estab...

There's something about Far Cry 2 that I just can't shake. It's a special kind of magic, a game that isn't afraid to make your life awkward in service of true immersion. The open-world playgrounds of Ubisoft's various Far Cry games are something I've long delighted in, with the FPS games always having incredible gameplay at their core even when the likes of Far Cry 6 fell a little short elsewhere....

Far Cry 2, still the pinnacle of Ubisoft's gritty, realistic, open-world FPS game, has somehow been made even better thanks to an ambitious new mod that addresses its mission structure, guard AI, and visual performance, a perfect solution for anyone who wants to return to the PC classic, or those of us disappointed by the middling Far Cry 6.

The best Far Cry game - no, not Far Cry 3, and definitely not Far Cry 6 - is more brutal, tough, violent, and realistic than ever thanks a transformative new mod that remakes and remasters the Ubisoft open-world FPS into something closer to The Day Before or the upcoming Road to Vostok.

You emerge from the iron shack into a luminous dawn, a blue hour vision of crushed darks and saturated colours to the susurrating of strings, pregnant with tension. Before you, a stretch of scrubland that peters out into the gleaming desert at the reddening horizon. But in front of that is a car... Read more.

Great moments in PC gaming are bite-sized celebrations of some of our favorite gaming memories. I'm glad Sea of Thieves finally came along to conclusively win the battle that has raged on in gaming for years. Which game has the best water? That's over now. That's done. Sea of Thieves wins by containing what I assume is some sort of magic that permits a real ocean to exist insi...

I love permadeath in games. (Also in reality, too, I guess, but one thing at a time.) Permadeath imbues every decision with consequence. It makes every HP loss a terrifying proposition. It can turn some games into dramatic, terrifying, exhilarating adventures. It can lead to soul-crushing defeat, or fist-pumping jubilation. It’s why XCOM, Spelunky, and Invisible, Inc. are three of my favori...
