Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4 were the period of peak Far Cry. Solid graphics, great protagonists, matured combat, and no woke. Both games are old and are a perfect match for Good Old Games.
Far Cry 4 is my desert island/forever game. I own it on Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, PC DVD-ROM (Complete Edition) and Steam. It is my most consistently played PC video game and has been so for the last half decade, just below Dying Light 1 and MechWarrior 5 Mercs in actual play time. I've even started playing it on my Steam Deck OLED which runs the game very well at MEDIUM to HIGH settings. I don't know how or why but I have never grown tired of replaying this game and not only that, it is the only game I enjoy restarting from complete zero. All of my other most favorite/played games need to have some form of either a NG+ mode (DL and MW5M) or method of horizontal cross-save progression (DL using MP, Grim Dawn and Terraria) or easy cheats/console commands. For me the Far Cry series go's as follows: - #1. Far Cry 4 - #2. Far Cry Primal - #3. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon - #4. Far Cry 2 - #5. Far Cry 3 - #6. Far Cry 5 - I sincerely doubt Ubisoft in their current state as of February 2025 will ever re-publish any of their games on this platform, which is particularly painful for me as the Far Cry series has always been my #1 desired addition to GOG. With my #2 being the Mechwarrior series.
I remember back in 2014 watching a streamer play as a tiger taking down what looked like tribesmen in scary masks, and I was intrigued. If I recall correctly, that was only a minor part of the gameplay in what otherwise looked like both an action- and story-filled adventure in the breathtaking mountains of somewhere between Nepal and Pakistan. The graphics looked very good, the major characters were believable and well written and well realized, and it looked like there were real stakes between the two factions. I don't know if I saw it then or later but the main villain also looked as charismatic and memorable as Vaas in Far Cry 3, though with a rational twist. I hope someday I will be able to play this game from GOG without DRM and without the Ubisoft launcher.

Wolfenstein RPGWolfenstein RPG is a first-person shooter and role-playing video game developed by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment, released in September 2008 for mobile phones and in May 2009 for iOS. In 2013 the game was removed from App Store.
The gameplay follows the recipe from Doom RPG as it is shown in the first person while being a turn-based role-playing game rather than a shooter and puts emphasis on the plot. Combat and movement are turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 90 degree angles and moves space by space. One step or action by the player allows all other characters in the area to take one step or action themselves. The game takes advantage of its deliberately slow pace, encouraging players to take their time and check out every little corner, read the books on every bookshelf, and destroy all the furniture to see if anything is hidden within. Levels include underground passages and weapon development laboratories plus a level involving a moving vehicle.
The game also includes two mini games: the card game War as well as Chicken Kicking, where the player is awarded points for kicking a chicken into a score area.Action Historical
