far cry heroDo you like Grand Theft Auto but wish it took place in a racist Asian country instead of a caricature of an American city? Then you’ll love the Far Cry series. And the latest title in the series is just $20 today.

far cry 4 boxFar Cry 4 is a first person-open world game set in the fictional country of Kyrat, nestled in the Himalayas and populated with crazed dictators and crazier wildlife. The game follows Ajay Ghale as he returns his mother’s ashes to his native land. However, the kooky storyline plays second fiddle to great gameplay, stunning graphics and a genuinely fun open world.

The game’s best feature is the fluid playstyles you can use to take on bad guys. Are you constantly seen when trying to sneak onto an enemy base? Pick up a rocket launcher and heavy machine gun and go in blasting. Did you run out of ammo on your last mission? Throw rocks to distract guards, then take them out with your nasty kukri.

If you liked the last game in the series, Far Cry 3, this one doesn’t provide much new stuff in the way of gameplay. However, the new missions, weapons, characters and environmental aspects are well worth the $20 Amazon is now selling the game for. The sale price is good for Xbox One and 360, PlayStation 4 and 3, and PC disks. If you want to catch up with the series, check out this combo set of the first three games for Xbox 360 and PS3, also just $20.
