17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Playing this a few months after Far Cry 3 is a bit dissapointing however, the story feels incredibly messy and disjointed in comparison, I found some characters fun and the voice acting was good but I just couldn't connect with it and treat it seriously like it seemingly wanted me to.
