While I'm a fan of the Far Cry series, the main reason I picked this one up was for the co-op story, something I wish they had done right in Far Cry 4. And something I'm still left wishing they did right. The game as a whole is fine, the world is beautiful and feels lived in, and the weapons are interesting and varied. And finally, co-op that isn't just single instances! However, the real kicker is that only the host gets any progression. The buddy joining you is basically an NPC. They may play with you for hours, but the moment they return to their own world, they lose everything you've done together in terms of world progression. Now, I'm not sure if this was an oversight or intentional, but it's an incredibly poor design choice. Honestly, I can't believe it made it into the final game. I hope Ubisoft gets their ♥♥♥♥ together and modifies this. Nothing like playing for hours just to be left with a sour taste because you know your friend gets nothing.
