Far Cry 2 is like a bottle of wine, not just any bottle of wine, but let’s imagine a port. A strong red wine, one that cannot be consumed all at once as if it were beer. It would be a large mistake for you to drink all of it at once as it is damaging to your liver and your interest in wine. The point is that Far Cry 2 required patience and taught it to people who welcomed it. The one final thing that the game had done was give a sense that your actions mean nothing in the grand scheme. Many of the critics of the game said that the story was far too vague and you couldn’t understand the big picture, but that is the point. Your actions don’t have any impact, and even the godlike actions of this man that you are supposedly chasing were not enough to do anything as he is quickly replaced in the final message.

Far Cry 2 goes against convention to tell us that we have no power despite the hundreds we kill. Our hero can do nothing and we are told so.

ONE LAST THING!!!!!! SPOILERS

If you have played Far Cry 2 to the end, you would know about the Heart of Darkness (Aptly named after Joseph Conrad's novel "Heart of Darkness). Which is easily the most intense gameplay in video games. There should be no debate, as to the emotional connection to the environment. Its clever use of music and atmosphere leaves you on edge with every other step. What do I mean? Well, let's just say you should have a silenced weapon cache with you, because you won't be able to restock for the rest of the game.
