According to critics, every Far Cry game has been ranked.

 Ubisoft's Far Cry franchise has wowed players and reviewers alike for over two decades. So, how does the game's 14-entry extensive library fare?

Far Cry game has been ranked

The Far Cry series has been around for over two decades. The franchise has undergone several highs and lows since its inception in 2004 and has even helped define the current open-world genre.

The Far Cry series from Ubisoft went through some soul searching at first, but it has found its footing now, and fans know exactly what they're getting into when they play a Far Cry game. Despite the fact that many of the titles have a lot in common, the responses have been mixed. When you combine Metacritic and Internet Games Database scores, it's clear that Far Cry is one of the most well-received games in the industry. It does, however, contain some of the worst games ever produced.

12. Far Cry Vengeance:  Score 37.5 out of 100.

Far Cry Vengeance game has been ranked

Far Cry Instincts: Evolution, the ill-fated Wii adaptation, is rated the worst Far Cry game by reviewers. Though several applauded Ubisoft's iconic FPS's implementation of motion controls, the choppy graphics, and long-running issues eliminated any possibility of a fun Far Cry adaption for Wii. The videogame was almost unanimously lambasted for being a sloppy transfer to Nintendo's new machine, and it created some genuine concern for gamers who were unclear of what the Wii could achieve.

11. Far Cry New Dawn: Score 72.5 out of 100.

Far Cry New Dawn game has been ranked

Far Cry New Dawn failed to thrill critics in the same manner that earlier installments in the franchise had. This is mostly due to the fact that the title, like Far Cry 5, is set 17 years after a nuclear disaster. One would expect that change would provide gamers with a plethora of new options in a familiar setting, but this is not totally true. Despite the opportunity to drastically modify the environment and gameplay to reflect this bold new direction, players were presented with much of the same as they had in Far Cry 5, although with a fresh coat of post-apocalyptic paint.

10. Far Cry Instincts: Predator: Score 74 out of 100.

Far Cry Instincts: Predator game has been ranked

Far Cry Instincts: Predator for Xbox 360 is a visually upgraded version of Far Cry Instincts and Far Cry Instincts: Evolution. The game included some amazing multiplayer and map authoring abilities, but generally, it was the same stuff that gamers had seen on prior platforms. Without anything to entice people who had previously loved Instincts on Xbox, the game was primarily appealing to those who had recently purchased an Xbox 360 and had no prior experience with Far Cry or those who loved map building.

9. Far Cry Primal scores 75.6 out of 100

Far Cry Cry Primal game has been ranked

Far Cry Primal is aimed to reshape the franchise by transporting players to primordial eras. Players will utilize primitive tools to combat terrifying monsters, explore the untamed, endless wilderness, and discover how to survive at the bottom of the food chain in the Stone Age. The game's new environment impressed gamers and critics, but in terms of gameplay, it was more of the same Far Cry experience that gamers had gotten accustomed to.

8. Far Cry Instincts: Evolution: Score  78 out of 100.

Far Cry Instincts: Evolution game has been ranked

Far Cry Instincts: Evolution is a short story add-on for Far Cry Instincts (or, by today's standards, DLC). As many reviews wished for a true sequel, the game was reasonably priced for the smaller adventure, and it kept gamers entertained while they awaited the next installment in the series. Far Cry Instincts: Evolution continued where its predecessor left off, with additional online game types.

7. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon: Score 82 out of 100.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon game has been ranked

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a standalone game that takes the fantastic gunplay from Far Cry 3 and transforms it into an 80s parody film. The title is chock-full of off-kilter comedy moments and over-the-top action. Blood Dragon is a game that both plays well and entertains even more, expertly combining a humorous corny story with action from a bygone period.

6. Far Cry 5: Score 82.1 out of 100.

Far Cry 5 game has been ranked.

Far Cry 5 provided a fun yet familiar experience for gamers. Critics were eager to point out how much they liked exploring Montana in Far Cry 5 and getting caught in the whirlwind of open-world activities and map events. Despite this, the title didn't stand out much from its predecessors. Far Cry 5 features some of the series' most sophisticated fighting and driving, but it comes perilously close to blurring the distinctions between releases.

5. Far Cry Instincts: score 82.5 out of 100.

Far Cry Instincts game has been ranked

Far Cry Instincts was the game that made the franchise famous. Far Cry Instincts, which debuted on Xbox in a huge manner, offering gamers unrivaled graphics, top-notch gameplay, and an engrossing story. Far Cry Instincts would be a remake of the original Far Cry on Xbox, with certain open-world elements changed and new gameplay features included. Players and critics alike were completely engrossed in this tropical paradise from hell.

4. Far Cry 4: score 84.1 out of 100

Far Cry 4 game has been ranked

Far Cry 4 played it safe, repurposing much of what fans liked about Far Cry 3 in a new setting and story. Although the game improves on features like gunplay and introduces new activities, many players will find that everything they liked about Far Cry 3 is still present in its sequel. The times in between the storyline, when players can observe the world come to life, were generally praised by critics.

3. Far Cry 2: score 85 out of 100

Far Cry 2 game has been ranked

Far Cry 2 went in a completely different approach than the first game in the series. Far Cry 2 is defined by reality and roughness, rather than crazy scientists and animal talents. Far Cry 2 wowed gamers with its immersive Africa-themed entry, which was praised for both its aesthetics and open-world management at the time.

2.Far Cry: Score 88.5 out of 100.

Far Cry game has been ranked

When the PC-exclusive Far Cry was published, it astounded both gamers and critics. The game was hailed as the finest PC shooter since Half-Life and served as Crytek's eye-catching debut. After being approached by Ubisoft, the game went from a benchmarking software named X-Isle to a full-fledged title.

1. Far Cry 3: Score 89.8 out of 100.

Far Cry 3  game has been ranked

Far Cry 3 is the highest-rated Far Cry title, and it sits at the top of the list. Far Cry 3 raised the bar for open-world games and established a strong foundation for the genre as a whole. Look no farther than titles like Marvel's Spider-Man and Cyberpunk 2077 to witness Far Cry 3's effect on the industry. Large wide environments, a plethora of quests and activities scattered throughout the countryside; it's all straight out of Far Cry 3. The compelling plot and interesting characters wowed critics, but the great, gratifying gameplay had them coming back for more.

Far Cry 3 is still a fan favorite, but that might change. The imminent release of Far Cry 6, with its superb voice cast and promised new features, has the potential to revolutionize everything. For the time being, fans have more than enough entries in the renowned brand to keep them entertained.
