Back in 2008 when Far Cry 2 just released, I thought it was a boring and repetitive mess with barely functional gameplay. 12 years later, I gave it another chance and, to my big surprise, enjoyed this game a lot more than I expected. In my new retro review, I'm going to talk about what made me change my mind and is it worth playing Far Cry 2 now.
