I always liked the Far Cry series, the third game had a great story and the fourth a great gameplay. This one had everything to be the best of them, but I was disappointed about how easy it is to do somethings. I could take entire settlements just using animals, sometimes the bombs the owl dropped were almost enough.
While in the fourth game of the series we had some difficult side missions, having to be completely stealth to save captive allies, or doing an assassination, in this game we can just swing our weapon crazily that it will make little difference. The scenery is perfect, the game is gorgeous, the story is simple, but very truthful and objetive, I really thought I was playing a masterpiece at the beginning.
As the game progressed I became simply too powerful, there were no tension about stealthily taking down all the opponents like in previous games when I would feel like I'm a great player when I took a settlement without being seem. The owl should not throw bombs, we should not have such powerful animals as allies or the enemies should be able to counter those powers in some way.
This game had everything to be the best of them, the best ambience, a nice story, that nice feeling about building your tribe, but the gameplay becomes boring at the end, as your power grows. I was expecting something on the line of the hindu archer warrior against demons we can see on the fourth game, those were great. Still it's a great game, I had a great time playing it, it just saddens me that it could be the best of the series, a 10/10 game, if just they added some challenge to the missions.
