Review: Far Cry 3 (New Gamer Nation)

If there’s one thing that gamers love, it’s adventure. Sure, some of us enjoy getting up and going outside to climb mountains and explore rain forests. Most of us, however, enjoy adventure from the comfort of our own homes. Over the past few months, games such as Bethesda’s Skyrim and Gearbox’s Borderlands 2 have kept our adventuring thumbs busy, but let’s face it, eventually we all get bored of dragons and futuristic wastelands, right? Far Cry 3 brings something different to the open-world game genre. It paints a disturbing picture of life in the beautiful tropical islands of the Indian Ocean, throwing together humor – both lighthearted and dark – with a healthy dose of gun fighting to create a cocktail of FPS questing that’s truly hard to beat. 9/10
