In Far Cry 4 the player plays as Ajay Ghale. Ajay is returning to his homeland, Kyrat to fulfill his mother's dying wish. Kyrat is a Himalayan country where Ajay was born. He was told by his mother to spread her ashes by Lakshmana, her deceased 1-year old. Little does Ajay know that Kyrat is undergoing a civil war between King Min and The Golden Path, a rebel group founded by Mohan Ghale, Ajay's father. The bus Ajay is in is captured by King Min. Many killed, Ajay manages to survive he is then taken to De Pleur's Mansion against his own will to have a lavish dinner with King Min and De Pleur. The Golden Path is notified of Ajay's arrival and quickly sends a group to rescue him from the wrath of King Min. The Golden Path believe that it is fate that Ajay's mother has sent him to Kyrat in this dreadful time of need.
How to survive.
The player will need many essentials to survive in the dangerous land of Kyrat. I recommend the Harvester skill to harvest twice as many herbs to craft healing syringes. I recommend this because syringes are an essential part of the game because they are a quick way to regain your health bars. I also recommend upgrading your weapon holster to maximize the amount of weapons you can carry. To do this, you must slay different types of animals for their fur. I recommend using any type of bow to slay the animals for this gives you double the fur and will make your journey for the furs much quicker. Can't find any of the animals? Look on your map and they should tell you where you can find the animals.
CO-OP
Need help liberating an outpost? Or need help hunting a few Asian Rhinos? If you do there is always the co-op option on Far Cry 4. This option allows you to play with one of your friends or a stranger simply offering help. Co-op is a great way to have fun with friends and explore the land of Kyrat. However, you can not proceed in the main story with an ally. This is a small price to pay though because enjoying this vast world with a friend can be a great amount of fun.
Alternative choice
Going all the way back where King Min invites you for a fine Crab Rangoon, instead of escaping with The Golden Path, you can stay in the mansion for approximately 12 minutes (real time). After doing so, King Min will come back, compliment you on how you are such a gentlemen, and take you to Lakshmana to spread Ajay's mother's ashes. King Min then discloses the information that Lakshmana was not a place but rather his daughter he had with Ajay's mother, Ishwari Ghale. He then tell you that Mohan Ghale grew jealous and had Lakshmana killed. After you leave your mother's ashes, King Min takes you on a helicopter and then the credits roll. I know, what a sad and surprising story, right? Could all this be the reason for Min's evilness? Did he simply just lose it?
Here is a picture of King Min. This could be a propaganda poster most-likely created by The Golden Path.
VERDICT
Overall, Far Cry 4 was an amazing game I enjoyed playing with my friend Tristan. I would definitely recommend this game to most gamers who can handle a bit of gore and little strong use of language. Not only was this game well-made but it left me in awe when I learned all the things I could do in this game. In conclusion, AWESOME
