As good as the gameplay is, this game is a mixed bag for me.

First of all, it will crash at random moments. It can go on for 2 hours or 2 minutes. However at some point it crashes to desktop or ends up with a BSOD. It is not about my PC, there are many suffering the same situation. I cannot play the game at high performance power setting, because that ,for some reason, causes an instant crash. I play the game on balanced power profile.

If you can find your way around all these technical issues, the game is brilliant. I often find myself wondering in the wilderness of Hope County, not minding any quests but only chasing some deer. The world is crafted beautifully. In my opinion, it is even better than the Kyrat from Far Cry 4.

Story is not that captivating but not bland either. There is some intrigue to it but Far Cry 4 is still holding the crown in this area. The antagonist is not that interesting either. We do not get much of a backstory or reasons for the antagonist is like what it is. Even Vaas is a more detailed character and it was in Far Cry 3. Pagan Min had a better backstory and reasoning for their acts. Seed family, however, not that much.

The weapon and vehicles system is better, especially there is a lot of vehicles to choose. However, the amount of weapons in the game is not satisfying. The game would make it better with more choices for guns. For example, there are only 4 different sniper rifles and 2 of them are not sniper rifles, but marksmen rifle and hunting rifle. The remainder 2 are .50 cal. weapons. There are a lot of sidearms, most of which you will never even use. However, there are only 2 different ARs that actually you will use, the AK-47 and the AR-C 15. The remainder of ARs are mostly bolt action, which makes them rifles, not ARs.

All in all, the game is worth buying when it is on sale. I bought this game with %66 discount and I am satisfied with the game as a whole. If you can work around technical issues, the game is overall really good.
