EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FAR CRY® 4 GAMEPLAY
WELCOME TO KYRAT
In Far Cry 4, players find themselves in Kyrat, a breathtaking, perilous, and wild region of the Himalayas struggling under the regime of a despotic self-appointed king. Using a vast array of weapons, vehicles, and animals, players will write their own story across an exotic open world landscape.

The Guardian 5/5
There are some hangovers from previous iterations. Far Cry 4 occasionally boxes players into a style of play they may not appreciate in a couple of story quests – stealth missions, for example, in which being spotted is an instant fail – and a lot of the game’s best equipment is off-limits for far too long.
But Far Cry 4 truly shines in the almost bacchanalian sense of freedom it bestows on the player as they traverse through its environment. In Kyrat you have the ability to go anywhere and do pretty much anything – much as Pagan Min would advocate. Here, the only pact you need keep is that with your conscience. God help you.

There's a staggering number of adventures to extract from Far Cry 4, whether you chase the ones laid out by the game explicitly, or the ones that develop naturally as you take in the sights. It's another interesting and absorbing world to fall into, shoot through, burn and then guide to new beginnings. Far Cry 4 may have installed a despot, but it's still the undisputed king of the open-world shooter.

This is probably the best that Far Cry has ever been. And that's saying something.
The scale of the environment is stunning to behold and interactive with.
Consistent surprises mean it's impossible to ease into a predictable routine.
Competitive multiplayer is functional and nothing more. Disappointing.
Some missions are overly linear, at odds with expansiveness elsewhere.

Far Cry 4 could have all of the multiplayer elements stripped away and it would still be a very strong game. If you enjoyed its predecessor and didn't grow tired of Ubisoft Montreal's open world formula, you'll have a blast living the experience again.

In Short: It may not bring many new ideas to the table but this is a hugely enjoyable open world shooter, with the best co-op options in the genre.
Pros: Fantastic open world environment that’s a pleasure to explore, especially with the great vehicles and fun weapons. Excellent co-op and interesting story branching.
Cons: Very similar structure and features to Far Cry 3. None of the characters are sympathetic and some may cause offence. Hunting certainly will if you love animals.

Far Cry 4 does all the things that its predecessor did and more - more weapons, more vehicles, more modes, more ground to cover - so if all you're looking for is a big old wide open space to tear up with a friend, go forth and make merry with mortar. That said, more does not necessarily mean better, and the truth is that the wilds of Kyrat simply aren't as beguiling as the Rook Islands were. Far Cry 4 is well worth a visit, but it's more a backpacker's delight than a five-star island paradise.
Videogamer - 8
And there can be no doubt. Far Cry 4 is a superb Skinner box, staving off monotony with constant upgrades, and it's so expertly crafted to appeal to baser instincts, so rewarding of you embracing them, that there's a strong chance you'll miss the broader point that all of what you're doing is utterly despotic. Like, say, a dictator might. A lot of games are about killing. Far Cry is about hunting. They're not the same thing, and it is as disquieting as it is enjoyable.

CHARACTERS
Meet the intriguing personalities you’ll encounter in Far Cry® 4’s Kyrat.
AJAY GHALE :Ajay was born in Kyrat, but his mother took him to the United States when he was very young. He grew up knowing little about his place of birth as his mother, Ishwari, rarely spoke of it. Now Ajay has to return to Kyrat to fufill his mother’s dying wish: Take me back to Lakshmana.
PAGAN MIN :The charismatic ruler of Kyrat is as ruthless as he is charming. The Hong Kong native came into Kyrat with his own army and took control during an unstable period in Kyrat’s history. The self-appointed king rules as a violent dictator, installing deranged governors to exploit the people and land resources for his personal gain. Pagan Min is obsessed with self-image and with the pastPagan Min, the well-dressed, disturbing antagonist in Far Cry 4 is also voiced by one of the most prolific voice actors in gaming today. With recent, high-profile roles as Joel in the The Last of Us, the Joker in theBatman Arkham Origins, and Batman in Lego Batman 3, we talked with Troy Baker about what it takes to play a very different sort of character: the sadistic dictator Pagan Min.
Full interview with Baker on the role www.gamespot.com/articles/exploring-far-cry-4s-sadistic-complicated-villain-/1100-6422572/
YUMA is a deadly tactician, a general of the Royal Army, and Pagan Min’s right-hand woman.
ANIMALS
While out in the wild, you’ll cross paths with a wide variety of animals, both exotic and deadly. They can be useful resources or unforgiving enemies—it all depends on your approach.
VEHICLES
A vast expanse of hills and valleys bordered by the Himalayan peaks, Kyrat’s varied landscape and biomes mean getting around isn’t always as simple as jumping into a car or tuk-tuk. Going up will be more important than ever. In rough terrain, you might need to climb aboard a powerful elephant, or take to the skies with a gyrocopter, jump from it, and wingsuit down to any hard-to-reach point.
WEAPONS
From the traditional kukri blade to the high-impact mortar, you can choose the right approach for the job. Here are just a few weapons in a diverse arsenal that will be at your disposal in Far Cry® 4.
