Far Cry Games From Worst To Best 

Best: Far Cry 2 Worst: Far Cry 2

Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, and GTA 4 have the color palette of a dog's eye.

In Farcry Primal, if you tame a wolf or lion their presence will actually scare away most smaller predators. It makes exploring way easier.

One of the biggest reasons I was hyped and played Far Cry 3 was because the setting looked similar to FC1. Chaotic and gorgeous tropical islands filled with abandoned WW2 era Japanese bunkers. FC1 still has a special place in my heart. Those graphics were insane from 2004...

Far Cry 3 was the game that introduced me to the series. It's got a special place in my heart.

I think we can all relate to skydiving with our supermodel girlfriends.

I played Farcry 3 first but Farcry 4 really brought me into the franchise. It was a upgrade from FC3 for me with better gameplay, graphics and a beautiful setting. Storywise it was ok but the world alone makes me play it more than one time

Far cry 2 was a remarkable game, no detection meter from the enemies and even no mini map but an actual physical map to hold on to. The combat was so realistic. you'd be walking around in the jungle then all of a sudden someone starts shooting you and you'd be in shock to where the shots came from, like I said there's no detection meter and not even a little radar map on your screen like these other far cry games where it shows you where the enemy is located. I even panicked whenever that happened and ended up pressing the wrong controls to switch my weapons lol. even when you're under heavy fire and your gun starts jamming because you haven't properly maintained it, It's a fucking good game.

"I'm not your pal, you bastard guy" CLASSIC LOL

FarCry 3 will always have a place in my heart, I remember one day I was playing and my grandfather walked Into the living room and asked what the game was about, I took him hunting and hang gliding, and he was genuinely amazed of the technology! One of the few times I seen him awestruck and the ONLY time I ever heard him audibly say "wow". Rip granddad🤟

Far Cry Primal is indeed really underrated. My dream is to see a sequel someday.

Far Cry 2 is one of the most immersive games I’ve ever played. The lack of a hud and mini maps makes combat feel like a horror game at points. All you can do is guess where the last gunshot come from and listen to footsteps. Ubisoft’s best game

Far Cry 2 is king of the 360-era "brown filter". Seriously, playing that game is like sticking your head straight into an apple cobbler.

Far Cry has always sort of had this problem where it wants you to take it seriously while it also wants to be an action movie. This is why I adore Far Cry 2 and Blood Dragon so much. Blood Dragon fully embraced the whacky, stupid shit. Immersion doesn't matter if the game is self aware to that point. You're having so much fun you don't even realize it. On the complete other side you have Far Cry 2. There's no action movie here, it's just sending a message that Africa doesn't give a fuck if you're alive or dead. I really wish we'd get another Far Cry game that took this route but I don't think Ubisoft would want to alienate casual players in such a way.

I love Far Cry 2. It was the last game I played before moving to another country, in another continent, to find my life. I got here with no money or resources to continue gaming, so I have very fond memories of spending long hours playing this game.

"being constantly attacked by cougars and not the good kind either" that line there🤣🤣🤣🤣

"How long have you been with the rebels?" "I'm not that kind of rebel pal." "I'm not your pal, you bastard guy!" Pure poetry.

Your complaint about Pagan Min being more likeable than all other characters in Far Cry 4: that was exactly the point of the game. Overthrowing a dictator who isn't at all worse than the guys you're replacing him with: that's pretty much the message this game was breathing out.

im replaying FC1. i am actually impressed with how well it still holds up. I forgot how many enemies can exist at the same time on the map. honestly wish there was a remake with a mixture of FC2 and FC3 mechanics.

I'm so upset I put off playing far cry 5 because of all the mixed things people were saying about it. That game was a masterpiece! I was hooked from the first cutscene! I hate doing side stuff in games because I feel like I'm wasting my time, but this is one of the only games where I actually felt like doing them. Even saving the people on the road and in the vans, that's how immersed I was. I played mission after mission wanting to know what happens next!

Vaas: Most insane Joseph Seed: Most religious Pagan Min: Best hospitality 😁

"I'm not your pal you bastard guy!" What a high tier scriptwriting

Far Cry 5 was definitely my favorite. I actually enjoyed the story, and some of the main quests were pretty awesome

Jason has used guns before landing on the island, because during the quest mushrooms in the deep, you can hear Grant say, "what are you afraid of? You're a natural with a gun."

I think for far cry primal, when he brought up the fact that you're always attacked by something is true, but when you get the bigger pets (like a bear or lion) the other predators get scared away and it feels very rewarding after you've been getting slap around for awhile.

I still enjoy FC4 simple because the Himalayan setting is really refreshing.

Far cry 2 was amazing at the time - the feeling that you could spread fire across a camp was incredible.

The biggest beef I got with Far Cry 3 is that Vaas is brought down way to early instead of being one of the end game enemies

"I'm not your pal, you bastard guy." "He's not your bastard guy, buddy." "I'm not your buddy, pal." "He's not your pal, bastard guy."

Far cry 4 was actually my favourite. I just made more memories than in far cry 3. I absolutely loved how it was the first time where it was truly debatable whether the rebels or the military were the bad guys. It was the first time I felt compassion for the main villain. It was also really cool jumping into it after playing far cry 3 and seeing a much broader weapon selection. Every far cry does this, but Far cry 4 made me feel the most as if I were smaller than the world.

I'm so glad you put 2 and 3 at the end. I feel like 2 is so underrated. Like you said, it is one of the most immersive games I've ever played

Crazy how wrong this list is 🤯

Gman : “No the Jackal is totally not Jack Carver, dumb fan-theory.” Also Gman : “That kid in FC6 is totally a young Vaas.”

"Im not your pal you bastard guy" did they put in a South Park reference?

I remember I completed the entire story to FARCRY 3 in one sitting, start to finish. This was shortly after it released.

Far cry 5 is my favourite game in the series by far. There is just something about the setting, combat, enemies and antagonists I love so much. But I can also see the argument for far cry 3 as well.

I really might be the only one who thinks far cry 4 is amazing... Fun fact i remember when the game had amazing soothing ambient music that for some reason they took out :(

"I'm not your pal you bastard guy" Pagan is such a good villain, he's like: everything i did was to make Ajay the hero Kyrat needed

I'm the only one that loves Far Cry 2? I love the map, love the physics, love the dynamic between the three groups... A really underrated game.

Far Cry 2 had some of the best weapons in any shooter I have played so far. The immense power of the grenade launcher, like really short travel time, deadly and satisfying blop sound when firing... I would love it if launchers in other shooters were like that.

"STAY here. ENJOY the Crab Rangoon. Don't MOVE. I'll be right back." - One of the sexiest villain lines ever.

Who else never even knew "Far Cry Vengance" or "Instincts" or "Evolution" existed?

"i'm not your pal you bastard guy!" -bastard guy's pal

I platinumed FarCry Primal at 2:15AM today, 7 and a half years after I got my first trophy and now this has popped up on my home page

Plottwist: far cry blood dragons main character is johnny silverhand

Far Cry 4 is seriously underrated because the setting alone is incredible and also the supernatural elements in the later parts of the game were amazing, way too intense than any other game in the series.

I first played Far Cry 2 in 2012 about 8-9 months before 3 came out. Knowing nothing about the Far Cry series nor that it was developed by Ubisoft I downloaded it on my PS3 (it happened to be a free PlayStation Plus game that month). I was so blown away by the fact that a first person shooter could work in an open world. I had never seen that before as I was used to the COD/Halo type games where the gameplay was confined to narrow corridors and separate levels.

My top 3: 1. Far Cry 3. Had a bit of everything, such a memorable villain and a good main character arc, really cool spiritual missions and mix of outposts and hunting, beautiful place, and a separate story campaign for co-op. So great, more bang for your back! 2. Far Cry Primal. Loved the change from modern weaponry and the map was beautiful, the characters were likable (especially Karoosh, Dah and Roshani), and it was fun as hell to throw bee hives, club dudes in the head as a knockout, and ride around on bears. 3. Far Cry 2. Despite the buggy AI, it had a very realistic and depressing look at how African countries were (still are at times today tbh), a realistic and immersive way of navigating the world, a huge world and an awesome experience in a hellish nightmare of a war-torn country.

Islands : *EXIST* FarCry Franchise : "Its free real estate"

Vaas and Gus together Better Call Saul: “Am i a joke to you?”

Used to play og farcry with a mod that replaced all the mutants with regular soldiers,made the game so much better. Also another awesome feature that died with farcry 2 was the ability to snipe out peoples legs and bait other enemies to come and help them,sniper wolf style

I was introduced to the series in 2018 with #5. It was a gift from my son.

11- Far Cry Vengeance 0:54 10- Far Cry New Dawn 2:17 9- Far Cry Instincts 3:59 8- Far Cry 4 6:31 7- Far Cry 5 8:35 6- Far Cry Evolution 10:39 5- Far Cry Primal 12:24 4- Far Cry 16:16 3- Far Cry Blood Dragon 19:13 2- Far Cry 2 22:32 1- Far Cry 3 26:24 Just for my own sanity...

That Vaas animated intro was slick. Nice work.

You are plain wrong, but it's christmas, so I forgive you.

Blood Dragon has the BEST tutorial in the history of gaming evolution....

Dying Light is my favorite Far Cry game.

Personally I liked Far Cry 5 the best just something about the setting being as close to real as possible in Montana, the cult like villains, and the npc characters in the story you met along the way made for a great time.

Far Cry 1 had so much hype behind it and all the PC stores at the time had it running to show how powerful a rig was. Personally, I'd love to see it get a remaster, it absolutely deserves it.

Talks about farcry 4 "I feel like it's just a watered down version of farcry 3" moves to the first farcry ever made "i feel like it's just a watered down version of farcry 3"

"next up is far cry 4" P A R D O N ?

I pretty much agree with the list although for me 5 overtakes 3, while 3 is the game that brought me into the series and caused me to explore it a little more, 5 was just amazing, the world looks stunning and i'd often find myself just staring at a mountain or valley because of how beautiful the scenery is. the story is pretty well written too and although not as likeable as vaas, i really think joseph embodies the perfect "persuasive cult leader" that makes for a compelling antagonist. with the siblings only strenghtening that. and dont even get me started on the music, i still find myself going back to the music of far cry 5, which at times just gives the perfect USA backcountry vibes, making you stop and chill rather than the constant shooting and killing. so yea, for me, far cry 5 is top of the list with 3 holding a special 2nd place

I vaguely remember far cry instincts had a custom gamemode online for 360 where you could use map editor and people created a gamemode where you were in jail and other players were prison guards (basically cops and robbers) it was so much fun!

Vaas isn't the kid from Farcry 6, he's only the way he is because he was forced to play Farcry Vengeance for 3 weeks straight.

“I’m not your friend, bastard guy.” “Problem makers need to be solved.” I see Ubisoft never bothered to hire a writer in the 13 years between Vengeance and New Dawn.

I actually really liked Primal, there's a few downers with it but nothing game breaking. I hope one day it gets a sequel with how it was left

I honestly don't like how in Far Cry 2 you have to fight enemies at EVERY checkpoint that you go through, even if you've cleared it before. And they start shooting at you from like a mile away like they already know you are there.

It's like Ubisoft are afraid of Blood Dragon's level of success...

"I'm not your pal, you bastard guy" I love it.

Having played both 3 and 4 pretty recently and throughly, I can say that 4 is like a (mostly) successful attempt at a polished 3, like all the ideas that devs got while doing 3 but couldn’t implement in time are 4, with the core experience of 3 mostly intact. now ofc, villain personality is a whole aspect of that core experience and, despite how charming Pagan undoubtedly is, like seriously, I’d actually want to kick it with him for funsies-can’t say the same about Vass 😳-the sheer shocking abandon with which the devs molded both Vaas as a compelling character and the game as a package; story, sound, mechanics, and honestly general understanding of its audience and what it wanted to say, was pretty unprecedented at the time, and the reason we love and remember Vaas so fondly is because he was the personification of that statement and of the holistic game experience. This is also why every game since focused on the villain as the player’s primary attraction to playing it. Every game since, especially in its villains but in general, follows the pace that 3 set, and that’s why it’s the game that tops everyone’s lists, and why the later games feel increasingly stale to some players (looking at you, 6).

You know a series is good when you have most of the top comments talking about separate games and the love they deserve

"You think Far Cry 5 is a good game?" "I do, and I'm tired of pretending it's not."

Far Cry 3 is my favorite. Michael Mando's performance as Vaas is incredible. The good parts of the story (the drug trips and Vaas encounters), the open-world sandbox and the soundtrack made it an unforgettable experience for me. Still my favorite game to this day ✌🏼

Honestly had a blast playing far cry instincts evolution and predator on xbox live back in the day. Predator filled this weird niche for a while prior to Halo 3 coming out by having a really interesting map editor that created all kinds of different levels to play including gamemodes where it was mercs vs predators on horror inspired maps. There was also puzzle maps, skill maps all that kind of stuff years before Halo 3 forge maps.

New Dawn is criminally underrated. I’d have been delighted if FC6 was more like it.

Primal is seriously underrated

I realy liked the moment in FC3 when you rescue your girlfriend and she is righfully shocked by you now beeing a killer who cracks jokes while blowing up people.

As a kid used to play the first Far Cry with a like 32 port lan just so we could play right next to each other. Loved it so much. Bought far cry 2 collectors edition and never got to play it because our pc could'nt run it, still have never played it.

I loved the creator levels in 5. That kept me playing the game for an extra year and a half.

I have really fond memories of far cry 4, Loved that game. One of the best villains in the franchise, great story, fun missions, it was one of the first games i beat when i got a ps4.

this is so accurate! -- me before he ranked far cry 4

the "until you realize its 2 am and your still fishing" hit too close to home as far cry 5 felt so comforting with that little acoustic guitar music that would come on

Currently playing Far Cry 3 as my introduction to the series. Didn’t know the series kinda have some other spin offs that looks good too. I def want to try the FC Primal I already have FC3, Blood Dragon, New Dawn and FC5 lined up. I enjoyed the video, good explanation with jokes and curses that made me laugh lol.

"The performance is absolutely horrible with framerates that can cause epileptic seizures" Im stealing that one you bastard guy

Hey Daddy, love your content you’re uploading to RU-vid. Mum wanted me to thank you for “going down under” on her. Whatever that means. Well, I have school work to get back to. Love you Dad. - From your son, Jim

dont know what took me so long to subcribe to this channel, but now I am complete.

i think new dawn is one of the most underrated far cry games. i personally really enjoyed it and i played it directly after 5.

Both 4 and Primal needs to be much higher up in the list. 4 had one of the most thoughtful antagonist in the series, even if Min was less eye-catching than Vas. Primal is downright excellent for the attempted philosophy!

Far Cry Primal was my favorite. I got so immersed in it, I was able to recognize words in the three tribes' dialects and use that to my advantage. They're saying "predator"? Let me sneak up the other way and pick them off while they're dealing with that. They're saying "Weenja"? that means they've either spotted me or someone from my tribe, I have to move fast. It made me appreciate how even small innovations and bits of knowledge could be incredibly valuable to early humans. Now if only there was a way to remove Urki from the game...

I honestly just really enjoy the farcry games from 2 to 6 because of the guns.

"What kind of death?" "The dangerous kind, Rex"

For me Farcry 2 and Farcry 4 were amazing .... Farcry 4 had some of the best and soothing background music ...

Me: seeing far cry 4 and 5 so down bellow. Let me guess: is far cry 3 stil the best? Oh,.wait , it stil is.

I've always thought far cry primal was super underrated. I love that game and had so much fun going through it and playing it through. I wish more people enjoyed it as much as I did.

fc5 is still de best for me, the songs, the characters, their backstories, the real based events, the message behind, the fact that there is no good ending, the deep story of joseph seed, the love based on religion and not in trust... I love all of it.

I’ve only played Far Cry 3 Guess I picked a good one

Far cry 2 features some of the coolest weapons shopping-menu to date, I really wonder why modern game doesn't do this anymore, instead we got a generic and simple menu screen,when we buy something (2077)

3 got me into open world games. It really made me see games differently and for that im greatful for that!!

i always played with my brother, you could build you own maps and play on it , loved it

Far cry 4 was how i got introduced to the series and it's just a game that makes me feel like home Like idk there are some games that make you feel peace I can't be the only one who feels that way haha
