15 Most Overrated Video Games Of The Generation (So Far)
14. Far Cry 4
After Far Cry 3 hit shelves and became a surprise sleeper hit, Ubisoft attempted to capitalise on its success with the swift release of a fourth game. Unfortunately, despite moving the action away from the tropical islands of the third title to the snowy mountains of Kyrat, the only big difference between the two games was their settings.
Attempting to mimic the third title's success by casting another zany, compelling bad guy to carry the story, the campaign was content to riff on the same beats as the previous game while avoiding all of the controversial moments that made it so memorable.
Sure, people criticised Far Cry 3's story, but it at least gave them something to criticise; the fourth game's plot was so by the numbers that it inspired neither hate nor adoration.
Ultimately it was another case of a sequel trying to be bigger and better than what came before, and only succeeding in achieving the former. The world was larger and there were more activities to take part in, but they only reminded you of how much you enjoyed them in the the third game, alongside how little you were now enjoying them here.
