Far Cry 5: 10 Best Franchise Moments So Far

6. Far Cry 3 - First Tower Puzzle

Look, the amount of radio towers in Far Cry definitely warrants the reputation it gets as one of Ubisoft's most obnoxious trends, but their use in Far Cry 3 was actually pretty memorable.

Nowhere is this more apparent than the first time you ever climb a radio tower. As it takes place early on in the game, you've only really hunted a few animals and shot a few people, nothing too groundbreaking.

The moment you climb this tower really solidifies just how big Far Cry 3 is in scope. You get to see how vast the land is and getting up there is surprisingly well done.

Having the screen wobble turned up to the max and hearing Jason swear as he climbs higher is really immersive, and one of those stomach-turning moments that the Far Cry does so well.

It's a shame that Far Cry 5 will be getting rid of towers, but at least we can fly helicopters to get the same feeling of verticality.
