Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is very simular to the original Far Cry 3 with differences such as the 80's retro theme, the gun upgrading system, story, and in game atmosphere. Instead of a serious tone of story and atmosphere players are greeted with a very different and humorous response that breaks the 4th wall. This is a more cheeky and silly game compared to the original Far Cry 3 but does well in providing a fun and funny experience both through gameplay and dialog. Right at the start the game pokes fun at you with the tutorials and continues to do so with the talking HUD having a tendency to annoy the main character. Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon introduces a new enemy called Blood Dragons (duh) that shoot lazer beams from their eyes and look overall bad ♥♥♥. The guns in Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon are limited compared to Far Cry 3 but have more attachment options. These attachments are unlocked and obtained through side missions and collecting collectables through the game. Instead of a vibrant and natural landscape Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon offers a night club feel with neon lights and dark colors to give a more retro enviorment. Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon should be considered a DLC more than a game but is still a fun and funny experience.

if you like movies like predator and the terminator then this game is for you!!!

RATING - MARK IV ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ >:)

Rating: 8/10
Overview: Open World First Person Shooter


The Good:

+ Graphics that still hold up very well

+ An atmosphere and story featuring a retro 1980's sci fi theme. The game is completely self aware of this and uses every cliché and overtop gimmick it can think of and cram into one story. If you grew up in the 80's and you enjoyed
cheesy b-level movies, this game nails that feeling.

+ A variety of guns with attachments that can be unlocked by completed some very easy side quests.

+ Solid shooting mechanics.

+ A soundtrack ripped straight from the original terminator and that’s awesome.

The Average:

The game has scanlines to give it a more retro feeling, unfortunately this makes the game look worse with no option to
turn it off. Luckily you can hex edit a file to remove them.

Its not a very long game however the game doesn't over extend its stay either.

As per every Ubisoft game, expect pointless collectables.


Conclusion:

A well written game feature an over the top story. If you grew up in the 80's then you would immediately understand this game, if you didn't then play this game and see what cheesy level sci fi is all about.

If 80's were a game, this would be it.

It literally feels like a terminator simulator (red filter in zoom mode).

Neon lights.
80's cyberpunk vibe and music.
Satiric humor everywhere.
A meme-spouting blood dragon with lazer eyes and mounted weapons in which you can ride.

Yes, Blood Dragon is a good game.

I hope that you came here from Far Cry 3, since I'll be comparing this game to FC3 quite a bit.
Now, all that you really need to know about this game is that it definitely is worth the money, but I'll descend into some detail.
The story is self aware, fairly fun and full of 80s references. The visuals are flashy, neon and 80s. The characters are stereotypical and 80s. Yeah, a lot of 80s stuff.
But with the gameplay, you'll get about 3-4 hours worth of content, if you do the story mainly. Otherwise I'd say it's 6-7 hours, if you 100% it.
The animations just make you feel badass, the same with your powers and skills.
The wildlife, which was a strong part in FC3, is extremely weak here. No crafting system in the game at all. There are some upgrades though, which I approve of.
Now, the movement system... You sprint about 2x faster than in FC3 and you take no fall damage. The game encourages you not to really even use a car, but just run like Forrest Gump across the map. Again, it just makes you feel awesome.
And the last thing, soundtrack. It's great, nice synth.

Overall
8/10
A truly exciting experience. (**5/10 is the average game**)

There is nothing about this game you shouldn't love. This game... this game is designed for you to play as you want to. Assuming that you played far cry 3, obviously, but that's why it's in the title.

You want to just mow through the missions and kick ♥♥♥? You can do that. You want to go around collecting random ♥♥♥♥ and conquering a bunch of random outposts just because the game has them? You can do that. This game.... This game lets you do both. You don't -need- to follow either path, because... this game.... it gives you freedom. The freedom you need.

Anyway, if you choose to follow the missions only, you'll find an experience on non-stop hilarity and action. If you don't like the extreeeeme, you won't like this game, but if you think you can stomach it... this game is for you.

This is a fun game.

I bought
I played
I came.

Pros:
-Best parts of Farcry™ gameplay
-Soundtrack
-Sense of black humour, references to the great 80s B-movies
-Setting is a neo-80s fetishist's wet dream

Cons:
-Uplay
-♥♥♥♥ Uplay
-Uplay is one reason pirates can justify stealing software, will get no arguments from end-users.
-Uplay is cancerous dogshit on toast, will add 10 minutes to install time for no reason, will crash at least once during that time.

I like the game enough to install ♥♥♥♥ing Uplay. So that's a recommendation.
But be aware, Uplay means Uplay eventually, it determines when Uplay, as Uplay through Uplay, not Steam, ♥♥♥♥ has to load up and run a ♥♥♥♥♥♥, unresponsive extra client (with ads). Achievements are 'handled' in the loosest term possible by Uplay.
♥♥♥♥ Uplay.
