Far Cry 3
Far Cry 3 helped cement Ubisoft’s open-world formula, a template that still holds firm to this very day. And, well, it’s for good reason since Far Cry 3’s flow and gameplay loop confidently addicted players from day one. Far Cry 3 proved that you could have a somewhat flimsy story as long as you have emergent gameplay systems and a fun, chaotic environment to engage with them in. The jungles of the Rook Islands are teeming with dynamic wildlife and an impressive host of NPCs that protecting outposts and roam the land. Smashing hangliders into enemies and blowing up outposts is still a hoot to this day thanks to the timelessness of Far Cry 3’s open-world mayhem.
