![]() ![]() ![]() NOTE: The Far Cry video games are completely unrelated to the novel of the same name. The protagonists are often forced to continue doing terrible things to survive and win (that are just as awesome as they are disquieting), and the games often draw parallels between the protagonists and their villains, and how both are linked through violence. The series also notes how the incredible levels of carnage you inflict, while fun (and sometimes productive) are incredibly horrific when examined from an objective perspective, and how often times solving issues with violence only leads to more violence. The games all take a look at escalated military conflict and extremism, examining how the two often go hand in hand. Past the first game, the series' main theme can be summed up as " War Is Hell, but Violence is Fun". Outside of console-only spinoffs to the original game, Far Cry is a Thematic Series where the games do not share a common story, main characters (only a few secondary characters), and settings. ![]() The environments featured in the games are exotic and beautiful, ranging from Pacific islands to the forests of Africa and the mountains of the Himalaya. The games are known for featuring Wide-Open Sandbox gameplay in a wild environment, where players can encounter animals, drive vehicles, and fight enemies. Crytek eventually developed their own Spiritual Successor to the original Far Cry, Crysis. The first work in the series was made by Crytek and published by Ubisoft, but subsequent entries are made entirely by Ubisoft due to a legal dispute, from which Ubisoft emerged with rights to the Far Cry name, whereas Crytek kept the engine they developed for it. Far Cry is primarily a series of First-Person Shooter video games developed by Ubisoft.
