20 Best Open-World Video Games Of All Time

There's 'Before Far Cry 3', and 'After Far Cry 3'.

In fact, Ubisoft crafted such a perfect template for their revamped first-person action game, Far Cry 4 was pretty much a re-release with fancier graphics, asking fans to do everything all over again with only minor tweaks to core mechanics.

Thing is, it was one of the only times where we couldn't be happier.
