Before trying out this game, I've literally played five games unsuccessfully—download, play, uninstall. Just like this. So, when a 2004 game could do what some modern games can't (captivate me), you know there's something special here.
First of all, Far Cry 1 is surprisingly atmospheric, mostly because of the audio design, though the graphics are pretty cool, even for today. Also, the game can easily run at 144fps, which guarantees you some fluid gameplay, a thing that not most old games can deliver.
The story is not a big deal, but it works well as a background to what is happening. Now, what really is good here is the gameplay. It didn't get old like wine as Halo CE, but it still holds today for sure. It is responsive and challenging. Mostly, you can't run and shoot like an typical brainless COD campaign. You die a lot on higher difficulties, and you're forced to learn the mechanics, as well as the level design and enemy locations. Feels good when you outplay them.
I'm curious about Far Cry 2. It's a shame that, beyond Far Cry 3, we just got the same formula over and over.

Started on 3/21/2021, ended on 4/28/2021. Around 20 hours of gameplay. I found it very entertaining and its diffuculty could only make it more addictive. The story is as stupid as you can expect and the locations are amazing.

A confusing, messy, bizarre FPS. Does enough novel and interesting things (massive levels, destructible vegetation, bright new setting) to make up for the multitude of problems in the game. Only bears a vague resemblance to later entries in the series.

Far Cry is a stereotypical but somehow sooler Shooter. I usually like critical Content and Stories that are a little demanding. However, I see in Far Cry a successful and welcome Change, here you can just sit down in the evening and make Mutants flat. For absolute Bration you should choose the simple Degree of Difficulty, because the middle one is already quite tricky when it goes to the Mutants.
The Story is wonderfully cluttered with Stereotypes, felt after every Downing There is a silly Saying, the insane World Conqueror has sadly lost control and of course there is a female Side-kick. The Weapons are also to be used, the human Opponents sometimes turn up a bit stupid, but usually quite clever (medium Difficulty). Somewhat annoyingly, they shoot through Tents. Well. The Mutants are then a bit trickier, but also solvable.
What surprised me in a positive way is the Graphic of 2004, which can still be seen ten years later. This also applies to the Game Mechanics, which consist of blunt Overlooks and Rum Ballers, but there are various Solutions for the Hose level. It is precisely this Mechanic that I find welcome as a Change, because you really don't have to do anything else that suits me quite well if I just want to get angry.
All in all, Far Cry is a welcome Trash-looking shooter, where you only have to shoot for the most part. If that is enough, you will enjoy the Game, who is looking for more realistic Games and wants to deal with a little more complex Mechanics, can then deal with Far Cry 2, because that is the start of a completely new Series.

Review: Far Cry I took 12.4hrs to play through the Story and bought the Game for £2.50in in the Steam Sale. I used a Quick Save Mod.
Then you are already inside the beautiful South Sea Adventure with two different Types of Enemies: The Mercenaries of the mysterious Dr. Krieger and completely failed And frightening looking Mutant monkeys. We play Jack, a casual Guy with a cool Hawaiian Shirt and then there's Valerie as well. Like to Play the 20 beautifully designed and very varied Levels yourself and experience the Adventure of Jack through the dreamlike island World! Whether, in time, this one is still as dreamlike and idyllic as it was in the Beginning?
25% Atmosphere: 9/10 + extremely beautiful design of the Locations + Beautiful Game Feeling + holiday atmosphere + partly also with Shudder elements + everything seems very lively 20% Story: 6/10 + At least 12h play time + good end + very interesting Basic idea + very special Basic Idea Characters, good Main Character +/-no real side Strands-told too little at some Playpoints-overall Quite thin 15% level Design: 10/10 + very nice design of the Locations + extremely large And extensive Levels + very many possibilities for Solution + varied + tactically advancing opponents 10% Graphics: 10/10 + then revolutionary good + still nice + still nice to add to it today by mods even further appreciable + beautiful Island World with Then very nice details + water 10% Sound: 8/10 + consistently good and Pleasant Without large 10% Balance: 7/10 + five different Levels of Difficulty + very many different weapons with good Weapon balance + very good AI + good control + good game entry +/-very demanding, just starting from ' heavy ' +/-difficulty level ' heavy ' only for experienced Shooter Player +/-steep difficulty Increase +/-EXTREMELY demanding Final fight +/-Checkpoints neither too much nor too unfair-AI partly with ' Wallhack '-partly far too large ammunition shortages-for shooter newcomers possibly too heavy 10% price/price/performance: 9/10 Game Circumference: Story 12-15h, (Multiplayer) Very cheap Price! (£1000 Normal Price; £2.50p Salary price)
Conclusion: The Classic Far Cry From 2004 is definitely still recommended and passed the Test of Time wonderfully even after 12 Years. In addition, a very good value for money. Bay your Summer holiday right here, in Far Cry!
