Featured reviews
Apart from the premise, I really had no idea what to expect from this stand alone expansion pack of Far Cry 3. What I found was a TRUE GEM.
This had nothing to do with Far Cry 3's story. It only takes place in a similar island, but in a futuristic world heavily influenced by the 70s and 80s sci-fi films, especially B-movies. In fact, this whole thing plays out like an epic exaggerated homage to them. Cheesy and corny dialogues, hilarious one liners, cliché ridden and ridiculous story, manly/gruff voice tough guy hero, everything you could possibly think of is here. And Its execution was perfect. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! Even the loading screen texts and tutorial was hilariously awesome.
Cutscenes were meticulously crafted to resemble the older times animation. The humor was SO WELL DONE in a cheesy and simple way that I was like "Genius!".
The game had this filter on it, that gave that old sci-fi movies feel. The lighting, colors everything were made to match those era in an exaggerated way. And the soundtrack, oh by, it was so awesome. Perfect for what they were going for.
Game plays out exactly like Far Cry 3, but with futuristic weapons and tools and stuff.
Geniuses at Ubisoft really showed what they can do with this work of art. Everyone should experience it. It is like only 4-5 hours long.
9.5/10
It's cheap "DLC" and it does not require Far Cry 3. It's standalone and great. Optimisation for PC is excellent in all aspects, Ubisoft really made this game playable and enjoyable even on low-end pc.
As i said, go try the game. You will not regret it.

- GoofsRex's starting handgun is an homage to Alex Murphy's Auto 9 handgun in Robocop, even the description says it was made in honor of the late Murphy. However, the events of the game take place in 2007, the events of Robocop wouldn't be until 2027.

Sgt. Rex 'Power' Colt: What's with the needle, Doc?
Dr. Elizabeth Darling: Listen. This will make you more like Sloan. Powerful but without the side-effects.
Sgt. Rex 'Power' Colt: No Doc. No way. I swore an oath to a special lady.
Dr. Elizabeth Darling: Your... wife?
Sgt. Rex 'Power' Colt: No. Lady Liberty. She taught me that winners... don't use drugs.
