There's something about Far Cry 2 that I just can't shake. It's a special kind of magic, a game that isn't afraid to make your life awkward in service of true immersion. The open-world playgrounds of Ubisoft's various Far Cry games are something I've long delighted in, with the "FPS games" always having incredible gameplay at their core even when the likes of Far Cry 6 fell a little short elsewhere.

Far Cry 2, still the pinnacle of Ubisoft's gritty, realistic, open-world "FPS game", has somehow been made even better thanks to an ambitious new mod that addresses its mission structure, guard AI, and visual performance, a perfect solution for anyone who wants to return to the PC classic, or those of us disappointed by the middling Far Cry 6.
