Far Cry (2004)

Best: A Gorgeous, Tropical Paradise: The first game in the series feels a bit clunky to go back to now in 2023. But at the time, its open-world tropical paradise was both gorgeous and fresh. And being able to explore this world and take on missions however you wanted made it highly replayable.
Worst: The Console Ports: We will get to the mess that is all the ports and semi-sequels the original Far Cry got, but suffice it to say it’s a messy and bad situation that Ubisoft has thankfully never tried again.
