Steam: Cult shooter drops to just $4.99 with 75% off

In Far Cry 3, players take on the role of Jason Brody, an American tourist struggling to survive on a tropical island controlled by mercenaries and pirates. As he tries to rescue his friends and escape, he crosses paths with dangerous figures, most notably Vaas Montenegro. Charismatic and unhinged, Vaas has become one of gaming’s most iconic villains, recognized far beyond the franchise.

Players explore a vast open world filled with dangers. Alongside activities like hunting and the signature Ubisoft radio tower climbing, players capture enemy outposts, pushing back the mercenaries and securing new territory. Far Cry 3 features a diverse arsenal, including shotguns, pistols, machine guns and rocket launchers. Stealthier players can use silencers or a bow, while the machete allows for quiet close-quarters takedowns. A variety of vehicles, including cars, boats and gliders, makes even the most remote parts of the island easily accessible.

Far Cry 3 was developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Ubisoft Shanghai and Massive Entertainment and launched in November 2012. Since then, it has amassed nearly 100,000 reviews on Steam, 89% of them positive. The reception on Metacritic is similarly strong, with a Metascore of 88 and a user score of 8.4. Players praise its immersive atmosphere and visually stunning world, which remains impressive even after a decade. However, repetitive side quests and a predictable story are common criticisms.

For those who haven’t added Far Cry 3 to their Steam library yet, now could be a great chance. As part of the Ubisoft Publisher Sale, the open-world shooter is 75% off until March 13, bringing the price down to just $4.99.
