Some sections in the game require stealth which is a tad too similar to Connor Kenway’s exploits and hunting is almost the same, except they are used for different purposes in the respective games. The presence of Electric Towers and urging the player to climb them so more locations are revealed in the map is a direct inspiration from the Assassin’s Creed series. Just to name a few: hunting, map locations and stealth are a wee bit similar in both games. It seems that the development teams for Assassin’s Creed 3 and Far Cry 3 have shared a few ideas across. Let me get this point out of the way first. Read on to know why Ubisoft’s shooter is one of the most intriguing games of 2012. You may be the hunter but you also may be the hunted. It’s no Skyrim and it does not need to be.įar Cry 3 is all about survival and how you do that depends on the way you interact with this vast forest. So what exactly makes this open world shooter from Ubisoft a surprise hit? Well it’s basically a combination of several things. It’s no surprise that Far Cry 3 is one of the best open world games of 2012.
