Loved FC1 at the time.
FC2 was a letdown.
FC3 had the best story and side missions. Blood dragon was also good.
FC4 felt to bloated. Primal was better.
FC5 i like despite the game finishing itself. New Dawn was ok.
FC6 never tried it.

Far Cry 2 a let down? Why????

the malaria virus, You had to keep running back for pills and it killed the freeroam fun of the game, none of the other FC games did this

Farcry Primal was always my favorite. That game tops all the rest in my opinion.
A close second is Farcry New Dawn. I liked the changeup from Farcry 5, and it was a neat little standalone set in an already existing world, with some interesting changes.

Far Cry 1 and 2 were good. Rest were too different for me.

The latest is completely different in its feel -

This game feels exactly like the latest Assassin's Creeds to me - the Greek island one or the Egypt one - same tone, color palette, lighting, environment/land and general feel and ambience. It is like a clone of that island with guns but the movement of people etc. is just like in that game.

It's like making some foods - same base curries and just tofu and it's dish1, add potatoes and it is dish 2 etc. Minor tweaks to the same base.

I believe that this teaches us a valuable lesson that some people go through these types of situations in real life in some form or another - and its especially a serious wake up call to be nicer to everyone because you and I may or may not be aware of who out there is suffering and is unable to get that "freeroam" the freedom - that living a comfortable life offers. It is good to be grateful and thankful for everything that we have and we shouldn't take anything or anyone for granted. That said, I never finished the game but I played enough of it to be thankful that I don't have malaria. I also believe that FC2 still holds the record for the best fire physics of any video game period. Other more recent FC games also have spreading fire, but its been drastically nerfed. 6 seems to have pretty good fire so far, but I haven't played enough of 6 yet to really be able to accurately measure it up against the other games in the series.

I didn't think the malaria thing was that bad, honestly. In my 40 hours of playtime I think maybe 5-7 times I had to get pills? I dunno, it wasn't as intrusive as I was led to believe.

The biggest thing for me was how weak the vehicles were; which led to having to stop and repair after passing through every 2nd checkpoint because the gunfire from forever respawning enemies would ensure the vehicle would otherwise grind to a halt from damage if I didn't. Not even exaggerating when I say it was easily 600-700 times I had to repair the vehicle in my play-through. It ruined the flow of the game.

Looks like no one remembered Instinct. Easily the worst game in the series.

4 was my fav. Then 3/Primal
5 was meh
6 is pretty fun. Haven't got too far to really give an opinion on it but I like it so far a few hrs in

Never heard of it. Apparently an xbox exclusive remake of 1. I don't think it counts.

I really want to hear the case why FC2 is the best, please enlighten us. I really don't see it. If we were living back when it came out, sure it was pretty amazing but compared to the rest of the series it's a stinker.

Far Cry 2 has the best atmosphere of them all. You aren't superman, just some guy that stepped in the wrong country. Nothing you do matters in the long term, story or lore-wise because the world isn't controlled by you or the people around you. Everyone just tries to survive as best as they can in the middle of a civil war, that people out of everyone's reach there, control. The goal of everyone is to leave the country and survive while getting the money to do so.

There is no insane person in Far Cry 2. The whole world is insane and the only sane one is the Jackal. He can't leave the country, because the one's controlling the war from outside (the people that brought you into the country to kill him) made him a wanted warlord internationally, so he balances the powers inside the civil war to be untouchable and safe there, instead.

Also the mindset and story of the Jackal, which is explained on the Jackal tapes in the game, is pretty deep, well thought out and give a 4th wall break into the real world issues, surrounding Africa and the 1st world continents controlling and looting it for their wealth.

Nothing so far (for me) has beaten the environment, story and atmosphere of FC3. The entire thing felt like a fever dream and I really enjoyed the cave/ old ruins missions with Buck. Vaas and Buck and Hoyt were great villains. All insane in different ways. Also enjoyed the transition of Jason being a wimpy college kid turning into the islands most feared assassin

Far Cry 3>Far Cry Blood Dragon>Far Cry 5>Far Cry 6>Far Cry New Dawn>Far Cry 4>Far Cry 2
Haven't played Primal yet.
FC3=best story in the series & arguably one of the best stories in games.Blood Dragon=♥♥♥♥ ton of dark humor & nice story & freaking awesome 80s atmoshpere.FC5=most polished gameplay in the series & one of the best singleplayer FPS out there,atmospheric as heck.

Perhaps Bias due to my personal experienced of Late Stage Malaria when it was an Unpopular Disease within the country, Far Cry 2 is the Most Expressive Far Cry of em all, and then the Greatest story to ever told that was Far Cry 3, next is Far Cry 5 for having a fresh new experience (Sadly haven't finished it to confirm it status on this list but sure is more than far cry 4), Far cry 4 is good and but nothing is memorable, even worse when they block fresh gameplay missions behind paywall (Playing it 100% 3 times crack for 1 years straight back when i was young & broke) Haven't played 1... .To me personally DLCs (No not Alien and Zombie from 5 those are horrible), Blood Dragon, Primal (this is a whole different game so perhaps it shouldn't even be ranked among Far Cry) are great for being itself so it don't need to be ranked among the main entry, Haven't played New Dawn but sure it's a Ubisoft Game. THEN THERE's 6, UBISOFT SEEM TO LOVE SHOVING RPG DOWN their established Franchise these day it seem.

Plus the broken stealth, enemies never missing their shots, constant criss crossing the map, etc...

Broken stealth? I stealthed my way, silenced pistol and sniper rifle, through the game on infamous without healing. I'd also say that enemies did miss their shots, but admit they were far more challenging than what appeared in later titles. Maybe that's the problem people have with 2 as it was a challenge where the modern games hold little.
