Far Cry 3 for Windows

In Far Cry 3 you play Jason, part of a group of American tourists who have been captured by sadistic pirates on a tropical island. You escape, and are saved by a native tribe, who set you on the path of becoming a warrior who can rescue your friends from the sadistic pirates. It's an open world adventure on an island that is absolutely packed with things to do.

You uncover Far Cry 3's island map by climbing 18 radio towers, each of which uncovers more objectives and allows you to get better weapons. Once activated, you zip-line back to the ground. You will meet lots of animals, many deadly, in the jungle. Hunting these, as well as collecting plants, allows you to craft new items that open up new skills.

You have to scope out and conquer Pirate outposts, putting them in the hands of the friendly natives, and giving you safe-houses. Far Cry 3 gives you tons of vehicles and hand-gliders to speed your travel around the island, as well as a fast travel option, so you can quickly jump to any of your safe-houses.

Gameplay

Far Cry 3 is a violent game with a mix of stealth and shootouts. There are lots of missions and side missions, so many that it’s almost impossible not to get sidetracked as you’re making your way around the island.
The outpost missions are excellent mixes of strategy, stealth and brute force, and are very satisfying. You have lots of tools and strategies open to you: from silenced pistols and landmines, to caged animals and Rambo-like explosive arrows. In one mission I encouraged a tiger to move near a pirate camp so it saw the guards and attacked them, leaving me with much less to deal with. Animals such as these and Komono dragons are very dangerous if you stumble upon them accidentally.
