They are, in general, splendid runs of violence. The mission quests were perhaps where Far Cry 3 saw the most criticism (although unfairly I'd argue - their leaning toward an Uncharted territory offered even more variation to the game), I doubt anyone would level the same here. Fighting the dragons themselves seems at first to be too daunting a prospect, but then later you'll start figuring some stuff out, and be equipped with a better chance against them. Sneaking into a base, turning off their dragon shields, and then luring one in is obviously a fun time. The Blood Dragons are attracted to these, so you can use them for making your escape, or better, directing them toward enemies. When you kill enemies you can tear their cyborg hearts from their chests, and store them up. The dragons are perhaps the only really significant change in how you actually play.
Except this time there are giant laser-firing dragons, and everything's lit in purple. A bunch more charging about the countryside, the spontaneous events, the slaughtering of armies to take their homes for yourself, and the deaths of more tigers. However, it's an oddly stripped down version of Far Cry 3, with the skill system reduced to automatically added new abilities as you trundle through, the variation of activities reduced to three, no crafting whatsoever, and the arsenal of weapons limited to five. A new island, twelve or so new garrisons to take over (each with their own hostage-rescue additional task), new animals to shoot, dozens of new collectables to run up to and press E on, and a smattering of plot missions to play through. If you peel away its crêpe-paper-thin veneer of confused 80s pastiche, what you've got here is an psuedo-expansion pack for Far Cry 3 (although there's no crossover, no sharing of characters, etc). To see this content please enable targeting cookies. This most peculiar of spin-off games, a mini-campaign and new island of bases to take over, finds itself in a bizarre space between a bunch of fun, and a lot of irritation. It's hard not to wish whoever created that first, excellent Blood Dragon trailer hadn't been in charge of writing the whole game. How does this mini-adventure hold up? Here's wot I think:
Do you remember that there were decades previously to this one? Far Cry 3 seems to think it does, with the appearance of an expandalone spoof of the 1980s, Blood Dragon.
