  • Open world
  • Shooter
  • Stealth

An open-world first-person shooter: as Jason Brody, a tourist kidnapped by pirates on the Rook Islands, you liberate outposts with guns blazing or by stealth, climb radio towers and hunt animals to craft upgrades.

Why play it now

When you have plenty of free evenings: its lead designer reckoned the story alone at 15-20 hours, not counting extras.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys scouting an outpost through binoculars, then going in with a knife, a bow or a freed tiger.

When not to pick it

If you want to play with friends: Ubisoft shut down its multiplayer and online features in 2022.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 85 out of 100
  • Exploring: 75 out of 100
  • Story: 60 out of 100
  • Thinking: 35 out of 100
