The other Far Cry game that was unlike others in the series, was 2013’s spin-off Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, which had an 80’s atmosphere, and fantasy weapons and enemies (like dinosaurs that shot lasers from their eyes…). One was this year’s Far Cry Primal, which eschewed modern weaponry and vehicles in favour of bows and spears, as it took the series to the Stone Age (and actually did a pretty good job at it). But not all games in the series have sported realistic settings and featured firearms, as there have been two notable exceptions in the franchise so far. These games have featured realistic action in a first-person perspective, and featured a large arsenal of modern weaponry which players could use in the game. The Far Cry games are well-known for taking players to conflicted, war-torn parts of the world in order to fight for a rebellious cause, as was the case in 2014’s Far Cry 4, in which players took part in an armed conflict between a dictator and a group of rebels in a Himalayan country.
