And they play out more like monologues than a cutscene. There are plenty of solid performances from the characters you meet along the way. Yes, and even with the little bits of reasoning here and there as to why Ajay is doing all of this - lets not kid ourselves - this is one guy who's here to destroy an army. Even though, from what I can gather - no one has ever seen him before. Ajay seems to accept his role as the American-raised hero this country needs. And that makes it hard to get on board with the characters and plot at first.

Yeah, the setup does feel a little bit rushed. Hex, I appreciate that a lot of people don't play Far Cry games for their story - but still, it struck me as quite odd how quickly Ajay started mowing down everyone without knowing much about him or the war itself. In what feels like a whirlwind 15 minutes of characters and action, you're quickly on your way to shooting everyone you can find that wears the colour red. You immediately side with the rebel group known as the golden path. Yes, the region in gripped in civil war, and somehow the evil regime's leader knows who you are, and your parents play some part in the history of the area. But before Ajay even gets off the bus, things go very wrong. You play Ajay Ghale, a man returning home to scatter his mother's ashes. Thanks Goose!
