When Far Cry 2 was released in 2008, it introduced players to an entirely new approach to the open-world shooter genre. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the game took a step towards a more mature and brutal world compared to its predecessor, offering not only a more realistic atmosphere but also new mechanics that changed the way video games were perceived. Unlike its predecessor, which had a more futuristic approach and was set on a tropical island, Far Cry 2 immerses players in a brutal, fictional African country caught in a civil war.
