Not many video games dare to create an open world in a modern war-torn or backwater place, and Far Cry stands out for that, as does another title, Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain. It is often considered the best of the long-running saga series.

To get the Far Cry experience in The Phantom Pain, you have to stay in the open world as much as possible, because that's what games are all about. Stealth gets a lot of attention here, but you can do it in Far Cry, too. Also, in The Phantom Pain, you get two open worlds: Afghanistan or somewhere in Africa, both of which allow you to clear outposts, gather resources, or use lead to depopulate The area if you're bored.
