Game Groups > Far Cry series

Far Cry is a series of first-person 3D shooters. The first game in the series was developed by the German company Crytek in 2004, but shortly thereafter the license was acquired by Ubisoft and subsequent installments were developed by their Montreal studio. There is no overarching plot in the series and the games have different settings, mostly focusing on vast outdoor environments in sparsely populated exotic areas (such as jungle). Besides traditional first-person shooter gameplay, the series has incorporated light role-playing elements such as a mission-based structure, monetary system, side quests, etc.
