amazon Far Cry 4 Valley of the Yetis reviews
Valley of the Yetis – After successfully “liberating” the Kyrat Plateau, the national hero Ajay Ghale continues to return with complete action … nothing new.
Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis expansion version of the blockbuster game from Ubisoft will be just one more reason, for players to satisfy the “thirst” for American heroic action.
Far Cry 4’s second indie extension, to try to create a breath of fresh air, the central gameplay in Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis has been changed in one direction by developer Ubisoft Montreal goes against the original.
Is this expanded version worth the money that our gamers spend?
Those who have played through Far Cry 4 will immediately realize the outstanding differences of this extension.
That is the transformation of the attacking, devastating gameplay characteristic of the Far Cry series into the turn-based goalkeeper.
In Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis, you will take on the task of defending a radio station, the enemy will attack in the evenings and your mission will be to prevent them from destroying equipment.
During the day, by performing side quests, you will “unlock” the defensive upgrades for your base.
At first glance, there are no new features in the goalkeeper genre, but the beauty here is that the developer has successfully integrated the goalkeeper style into Far Cry’s traditional shooting style.
You will still feel the intensity and drama of the fiery action, Hollywood explosions.
Besides, there is a need to carefully measure the path, step, and the urgency of hiding places for unforeseen circumstances.
Instead of just rewarding experience and cause and effect – karma (pretty useless in the original version), the upgrades in the Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis expansion pack will be of great help to players in the defense in the evening.
Another good thing is that the game clearly shows the advantage of that upgrade to the player, making you feel worthy of the effort you have spent.
If you capture convoys carrying explosives, mines, and kerosene, you will easily prevail in the first attack rounds of the enemy.
Mines will help to remove attackers from the “dead corner” of the defensive fence.
Fire on the oil streaks lying on the ground and no one will dare come near you.
The most impressive thing is still the dynamite barrels “blowing” away from the enemy in an instant!
By not requiring players to upgrade, Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis allows you to customize the difficulty you want.
Besides the new goalkeeper mode, the gameplay of Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis has also been changed to suit those who have played through the original version.
Grasp the player’s mentality, the developer has boldly skipped the previous steps to upgrade skills and buy cumbersome weapons.
Instead of having to step by step “unlock” the massive arsenal, they are now scattered throughout the map.
This job aims to direct the player’s experience to focus on new features in the Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis expansion pack, instead of spending time and effort “training”.
Another worth point mentioning is the design of the missions.
In Far Cry 4, the producer aims to create a suitable amount of time for working people and those with little time for the game.
However, many of the levels in the original version still do not satisfy that, due to the very “long” length, the sequential quest sequences make the player very easily discouraged!
Receiving feedback from gamers, in the expansion of Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis, the developer has packed the tasks and gameplay a lot.
Besides, they also do not hesitate to let you know about the rewards of the quests.
This gives gamers enough information to decide whether or not to “waste time” on them.
Famous as the only Far Cry version that “does not care” about the quality of the plot, Far Cry 4 did not hesitate to completely “copy” the motif and plot direction from the previous version.
But things get worse when you play the expansion – Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis.
Shortening and encapsulating the gameplay is a wise decision, but at the same time Ubisoft Montreal also… encapsulates the whole story of the game, which is already very short and poor.
It seems that the original version was bad when it comes to the ability to portray the characters, in this expansion, you will be completely unable to feel the presence of the main and secondary characters.
From the crazy leader, and the bad guy pilot, all the characters leave absolutely no mark but appear to … fill the void of the story.
The last shortcoming and also the deadly point of Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis is the snow giants – Yeti.
Billed as the focal point of this expansion, our giants have not made a strong impression.
The developer did not use them to create new gameplay or gameplay for the game.
They appear nothing special, simply a bigger, faster, and more dangerous beast than usual.
By “unlocking” heavy weapons, the duel with them is a small matter.
Aside from the lack of influence on the gameplay, the story behind Yeti’s arrival is far from outstanding.
All of these flaws inadvertently make the goalkeeping mode, which is just an extra element, take the spotlight in the Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis expansion pack.
