Far cry 4 dlc review11/10/2022 These range in quality, from just fire fights to pure story driven and narrative sections. On top of the distorted reality, there are several events that move to unfold the story. The story development and the fleshing out of Vaas as a character and his motives is what is truly most important in this DLC. Which is connected to a scene that explains this thought process in Vaas’ mind. The first moment that really made me start paying attention to the world around me (besides the sky sharks) was the fact that the ocean and a whole waterfall is blood red. The world design is intense, thought out and truly unnerving at times. The ghosts of people that Vaas had killed coming back to haunt (and explode) on him during the night cycles. Sharks flying in the air visibly above the beach, dozens of Vaas heads in the sand staring at a large boulder than looks sort of like a head. Where this DLC truly excels however, is in the visual world design. A little more of an explanation of the slightly less obvious mechanics would go a long way here. I then also didn’t realise I had to go into the upgraded weapon cache and BUY the upgraded version of the gun. Case in point, that I didn’t upgrade my gun at all until the very final section. Beside a little tutorial for the traits upgrades, you’re essentially thrown into the deep end. Frustratingly, the mechanics involved in the DLC aren’t explained particularly well. This DLC feels like a roguelite with a scoring system, that delves into the events prior to Far Cry 3 and develop the character’s of Vaas and Citra more deeply. There are traits that help you retain more cash upon death but realistically. On top of that, you collect cash which you need to unlock higher traits, additional buff slots, and to upgrade your weapon tiers, as well as buying the weapons themselves. The buffs are fun, they drop regularly enough from enemies, whilst also being found in chests scattered across the map. Upon death, any buffs you pick up, which can range from giving you more cash gain, to blast damage reduction, to even damage reduction in the rain. That is the only things you get to keep permanently. Whilst you unlock permanent traits and weapons (plus their upgrades) through your playing, that carry across all difficulties. If not, the roguelite aspect of the DLC is what really stood out to me. A scoring system allows you to push for high scores and encourages intelligent play, whilst also be optimal about your routing, if you intend to push for high scores. There are multiple levels of difficulty, and you unlock the next tier by completing the previous level. In the first DLC, we get to explore the depths of Vaas’ mind and explore the insanity in his mind that led to his confrontations with Jason Brody, and his falling out with Citra that led to her using Jason Brody against Vaas. Not too far removed from Anton Castilo himself, Vaas is wildly delusional in his view of the world and why the events are occurring. A mad man steeped in his own delusions, ambitions and insanity. The first DLC lets us becomes Vaas from Far Cry 3. A month on we are getting out first taste of the 3 major DLCs that will be coming out for the game, that allow you to become and fight as the major antagonists from the previous titles of Far Cry 3, 4 and 5. Anton Castilo was a fantastically thought-out villain, and the follow up emails that you would receive from the Lion of Yara himself mocking you for leaving things unfinished, kept the game in your peripherals. Earlier this year we got to go hands on with Far Cry 6, and it was a late contender for my game of the year.
