The fourth major instalment in the Far Cry franchise follows Ajay Ghale and is set in the fictional Himalayan town of Kyrat. As a young Kyrati-American, Ajay soon finds himself caught in the middle of a civil war between Kyrat’s Royal Army and a rebel faction known as the Golden Path.

However, with the Kyrat Royal Army being led by tyrannical leader Pagan Min - who is voiced by Troy Baker - Ajay must help the rebels free the beautiful land from Min’s oppressive grip.

The official synopsis reads: “Hidden in the towering Himalayas lies Kyrat, a country steeped in tradition and violence. You are Ajay Ghale. Traveling to Kyrat to fulfill your mother’s dying wish, you find yourself caught up in a civil war to overthrow the oppressive regime of dictator Pagan Min.

Explore and navigate this vast open world, where danger and unpredictability lurk around every corner.”

Originally released for the PlayStation 4, Far Cry 4 is now heading to the PS Plus service and will be free to download for all PlayStation Plus Extra members. Additionally, a free trial is also available to check out if you want to try before you buy.

With the entire game, including main and side missions, points of interest and random events to complete, equalling around 50+ of gameplay, this FPS is not one to miss out on if you are interested in diving into an expansive open-world.

Incidentally, if you are interested in playing the older entries in the Far Cry series, you can check out this new-gen overhaul for 2008’s Far Cry 2.
