Far Cry 3 starts with Jason Brody and his friends on vacation in the tropical Rook Islands, where they are kidnapped by pirates led by Vaas Montenegro. After escaping, Jason has to transform from a tourist into a warrior to rescue his friends.
Released in 2012, it popularized the Ubisoft open world formula and featured one of gaming’s most memorable villains, played by Michael Mando. The Blood Dragon spin off became a cult favorite in its own right.
