Review Showcase

Far Cry® 3 Blood Dragon

10.5 Hours played

1) How much do you care about 80's pop culture?
2) Do you like...fun stuff?

These are the only 2 questions you need to ask yourself when buying this game, esp the first question, because half of this game's awesomeness comes from you appreciating all the little references, hints, details, and culture from 80s' music, movies and games.

Pros:

- It's got Far Cry 3's gameplay/gunplay mechanics
- Weapons: You're going to become incredibly overpowered by the end
- A good amount of collectibles like video tapes and CRT TV's
- Open world
- Animals, or cyber-animals to hunt and mess with
- Great nostalgic cutscenes
- Artstyle and visuals, it's very retro yet gorgeous.
- Blood Dragons, fun to fight and add a layer of creepiness when being stealthy
- Cheesy: The dialog, story, characters are cheesy as hell. The one game where I wouldn't want it any other way
- Music, absolutely fan- FU*&#QHREHFUH#U%HQUFAUFN- tastic soundtrack (my fav aspect of the game)

- Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese from The Terminator)

Cons:

- Short, It'll take you about 10-12 hours to beat everything (Sidequests, main quest)

Future:

I'll buy whatever sequel this expansion gets, and I highly recommend this to everyone bec even if you're not a big 80's fan, there's still a great game here.
