Game Engine

Far Cry 4 uses the modified Dunia Engine 2, which was also used in the predecessor. One of the most impressive features of engine is its enormous landscape: although there are a few blurry mountains in the horizon, most of the area is accessible whether on a quad, glider or on your feet. Thanks to this seemingly open environment, the user will be able to enjoy an astonishing degree of freedom, offered by very few other games. Other Ego shooters, like Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, feel claustrophobic in comparison. The intense colors, realistic lighting and thick vegetation provide an enchanting virtual world.

Despite all these qualities, the game is lacking in a few areas. For example, although most objects have a high level of detail, some surfaces suffer from mediocre textures. The game barely manages to reach the level of Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3), Crysis 3 (CryEngine 3) or Ryse: Son of Rome (CryEngine 4).
