Far Cry is a series of first-person shooters (FPS) with a sandbox gameplay model. The leading theme of the series is spectacular shootouts using modern firearms, but the developers are not afraid to experiment and from time to time serve players a trip to completely different realities, such as distant prehistory (where rifles and flamethrowers are replaced by bows and machetes) or an alternative world in the climate of cyberpunk (where cyborg soldiers fight using laser weapons). The series allows us to drive vehicles, including jeeps or boats with machine guns, and sometimes to ride animals (such as elephants). Starting with the third installment, RPG-like elements, such as crafting and character skill development, began to enter the series. Later installments were also equipped with level editors.

Pixelophobia: 8 / 10 by Łukasz Ankudo
Hours of Darkness is a great looking DLC. It includes all the tropes of Vietnam. Agent Orange, POWs, dire onslaught on FOB, dire defence of FOB. It mainly focuses on traverse though, not on action packed gameplay as it should.
IGN: 7 / 10 by Daemon Hatfield
Hours of Darkness is a clever and fun but brief twist on the Far Cry formula. Its new approach to Guns for Hire AI companions gives you something other than yourself to worry about during battles, and its use of perks as a reward for stealth kills encourages my favorite style of play in an interesting way, but can bring your momentum to a screeching halt when you slip up. Just like the Far Cry series' previous jaunts to new locations, this trip to Vietnam is a good time.
Skill Up: 6 / 10 by Ralph Panebianco
Look - it's fine. It's 4 hours of very Far Cry-esque action, very little in the way of innovation or narrative and some interesting moments, but it's...fine. Not worth paying big money for unless you REALLY want more Far Cry.
