Far Cry 4

Kyrat hides high in the Himalayas, a land where ancient tradition and brutal violence sit side by side. You play Ajay Ghale, who travels there to honor his mother's dying wish and is instead drawn into an armed revolt against the oppressive regime of Pagan Min.

The map is the most varied the series had offered to that point, sweeping from dense forests up to snowbound peaks, and it is far from empty. Leopards, rhinos, black eagles, and aggressive honey badgers all roam it, and any of them may be hunting you while you gather resources.

Mobility and firepower shape the play. A new gyrocopter scouts enemy ground before a wingsuit drop, a six-ton elephant can be ridden straight into a fight, and a broad arsenal keeps you ready for jobs both ordinary and absurd. A second player can drop in or out of the open world at any moment through co-op.
