I write rarely reviews because tastes vary so well known. But after all the bad criticism of FC4 I would like to influence the vote something positive. Graphics: When I first got started the game, I looked long over 1 hour only looked at the beautiful, vibrant and graphically Outstanding world with wide open mouth hanging. Something cool I last made visible to only in "Skyrim" ... Sound: Super, crystal clear, even though many of the same weapons sounds have such in FC3. But the music is just great. Somehow reminds this in part to the movie: Life of Pi, if you at night, when the moon is high up and the world is easy shimmering green runs through the area. In short, the music matches the colors rich world and is building the right atmosphere on.
Of course, many familiar from FC3 as: conquer bell towers and bases, hunt animals and skins, etc. But was here in FC4, in my opinion, everything was a lot better. Bases must be defended sometimes even after the conquest, Hostile Patrolien there even if you have taken a base yet, animal AI is a lot better, etc. Especially the weapons behavior now feels much better. About the story, I do not say anything, except that it fails leaner than in FC3, but I also have just 48% game progress. Could still happen what.
Conclusion: A graceful successor to FC3 (which indeed many have gehatet) the much does better in a game world that it has never been so in an open-world game.
