Far Cry was different: its maps were huge, with paths through and around island jungles that let you observe and plan each encounter before engaging with the enemy. Games like Call of Duty, Doom 3, and Half-Life 2 were built around tight, linear corridors with scripted sequences and obvious enemy spawn closets. Back in 2004, most shooters were designed around linear corridor combat. What made Far Cry stand out was its impressive level design. Most of the script is written with lines like “I’ll paint his little red wagon!” and bullet spongey monsters show up halfway through the game. Published by Ubisoft but developed by Crytek, Far Cry told the story of a generic first-person-shooter protagonist who was trying to go on vacation but ended up getting shot at by pirates. The first Far Cry game is an exceptionally weird game. With Far Cry 5’s release, it's a great time to revisit one of the most interesting games Ubisoft has ever made. Far Cry 2 has its moments, and my plunge off a cliff in Bowa-Seko remains one of the most exhilarating experiences I’ve ever had in a video game. I couldn’t believe my luck when I dragged myself out of the river, somehow living to fight another day. I stumbled off the cliff and fell several storeys into the river below. That’s when the malaria hit, causing me to lose balance. I scrambled for cover, not ready to give in even though I was out of first aid supplies digging the bullet out of my hand would be the only option.


My gun jammed, and my buddy was nowhere to be found. There I was, with a cliff behind me and a dozen angry mercenaries in front of me.
