The writing here is sure to make you laugh, thanks to the hilarious cast of characters. While the first was a great proof of concept, the second had us in stitches for 20+ hours while we shot up bandits and bonerfarts with guns that set living creatures on fire. Gearbox Software's FPS/RPG hybrid is basically Diablo in shooter form. If your three favorite things on the entire planet are guns, toilet humor, and min/maxing RPG stats, then Borderlands 2 is a dream come true.

There’s a reason every game since 2012 has borrowed at least one aspect or another from this sandbox classic. Every act in Far Cry 3 moves towards giving you more empowering control of your character.

Earn extra XP by capturing an enemy encampment without raising an alarm, which you can then spend on useful skills, like takedown kills from the water or faster movement while crouched.

Changing developers and settings – first it was the one with the Doctor Moreau monsters, then the sequel that gave you malaria – it wasn’t until Far Cry 3 that the series found its voice.Ī mechanically brilliant open-world shooter, there’s always a sharp purpose to motivate your murderous Rook Islands acts. Before Jason Brody’s tropical sandbox made base takedowns and scaling towers to demist the map video game staples, Far Cry was lost. The breakout moment for the iconic open-world series, and arguably the most influential Ubisoft game ever made.
