The experience was shorter than I expected - I completed 100% of the game in 7 hr 56 min.- but it was great. The '80s action movie trappings and tropes struck a nostalgic chord with me and the fourth wall jokes were tolerable. The game moves so fast that I didn't feel the need to drive a jeep all that often. The openness of the combat is what I desire out of a first-person shooter, and it was always fun mixing up how I secured a garrison. I was afraid that the game wouldn't run well on my PC, but instead the game ran smoothly and looked great.

There are already rumblings of a sequel to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. I look forward to more.
