Before the first Far Cry came out back in 2004, modern-setting first-person shooter (FPS) games were dominantly just straight tunnels with enough color and flash to hide their linearity. Even the legendary Half-Life 2 fell into this design standard. Then, Ubisoft and Crytek spiced things up by giving players a dizzying amount of open environment and freedom. Show
Suffice to say, Far Cry laid the foundation for many open-world shooters and proved that freedom was more enjoyable than scripted FPS sequences. Far Cry sequels capitalized on this while other games refined the formula. So if you're looking for more after Far Cry 6, you might want to try out these games if open-world gun-toting is your idea of fun. Updated November 2, 2021, by Sid Natividad:As expected, there are many more games like Far Cry that it's starting to look like the poster-boy or template of open-world FPS games. You have Ubisoft to thank for that. It has a winning formula that it simply refuses to discard. You can even see similar stuff in other games like Far Cry. Speaking of which, you will eventually want to try out all of them. Hence, check out these addition games similar to Far Cry. 20/20 Any Assassin's Creed Game
These games are a no-brainer for anyone fond of Far Cry's mechanics. Ubisoft is also responsible for this undying multi-million-dollar franchise and it sports the closest similarities to Far Cry. The big difference is that an Assassin's Creed title plays out in a third-person action view. There's also a notable shortage of firearms since it cherry-picks ancient or medieval time periods or other eras where swords are still the dominant weapons. Even so, you'll find yourself at home in Assassin's Creed as a Far Cry fan. If we're to recommend one, then Black Flag shares a familiar storyline and has a main character that's not unlike a Far Cry protagonist. 19/20 Batman Arkham Series
Batman Arkham games are partly just Assassin's Creed games with a Dark Knight coat of paint. That doesn't mean it's bad or derivative. Taking after Ubisoft's open-world formula is actually a good thing for the series especially when coupled with Batman's preferred methods of movement and transportation. Don't expect guns, of course. Batman is opposed to lead and gunpowder. Instead, you can anticipate a maddening cast of characters and circumstances that would likely make Far Cry games look tame or childish in comparison. 18/20 Shadow Of The Tomb Raider
The Tomb Raider games have always had a good combination of adventure gameplay and elements of stealth and gunfights but at its core, it's about a western tourist wreaking havoc in third-world locales or other troubled off-the-beaten-path places. For our best pick and likely the most similar to a Far Cry story, Shadow of the Tomb Raider takes the cake as Lara in that game unleashes a worldwide apocalypse starting in Central America. So she has to spend the whole game fixing her mistake. It's a wacky adventure alright. 17/20 The Saboteur
The Saboteur is all about one thing: being an agent of chaos. It's an open-world action game set during World War 2 where you play as a man on a vengeful mission to find justice for his loved ones in a fascist-occupied Paris. There's tons of stuff to do in order to obtain vengeance but most of them revolve around one thing: making fascist lives miserable and chaotic. To that end, it's in the same vein as Far Cry 6 whose main story and plot focus is all about rebellion and toppling a totalitarian regime in a fictional version of Cuba. It's just that the Saboteur lets you relish in all that rage by bombing and destroying military bases and buildings much more frequently. 16/20 Dead Island
It takes place in an exotic place full of odd people and an even weirder situation that calls for near-indiscriminate killing. In a nutshell, Dead Island is quite the competitor to Far Cry's formula. The first Far Cry, for example, has a story that revolves around getting stuck on a tropical island with mutants. That kind of sci-fi trope is very much present in Dead Island except you can replace the mutants with zombies. The bulk of the combat is done in melee but that doesn't slow down the action one bit especially when you're cleaving down zombies in bikinis and board shorts with your outlandish amalgam of everyday tools turned into weapons. 15/20 Cyberpunk 2077
Its setting may be a bit more futuristic and it's not without its fair share of bugs (at least at the time of writing), but the world of Cyberpunk 2077 is so vast and detailed that you'll lose yourself in it in more ways than one. Night City is about as close to a living, breathing world that we've ever seen in gaming, but that's just one of the many strings to the game's bow. The game features a highly customizable protagonist (both in terms of their appearance and abilities), countless side quests, and a huge arsenal of weapons with which you'll be able to raise some hell. If you're looking for a game to keep you busy, then simply put, this is it. 14/20 Mad Max
Avalanche Studios really doesn't get enough credit for the work they put into 2015's Mad Max. In an industry that's fully loaded with terrible licensed adaptations, it serves as a shining example of how things should be done. Sure, its world is not quite as 'open' as some of the other games on the market, but it's still one worth exploring. There's a lot of Just Cause on show here, which is perhaps to be expected given that so much of the studio's time has been spent on the series over the past 15 years. Even so, there are more than enough new ideas and mechanics to easily differentiate the two IPs. It's a game that's large in scale, full of character, and an absolute must for fans of the movies and open-world games alike. 13/20 Fallout Series
The Fallout series has come a long way since the release of its first entry, but one thing that hasn't changed is the ridiculous scale of the games. Well, that and war, of course. They feature huge playable areas, endless side quests, and expansive stories with branching pathways. These things combine with the series' quirky cast of characters to form one hell of a gaming experience. Some of the earlier Fallout games feel a little dated by modern standards and Fallout 76 is an acquired taste. If you're looking for an enjoyable open-world experience though, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and Fallout: New Vegas are definitely worth a look - the latter in particular. 12/20 Metro Series
If you're all about the open-world aspects of Far Cry then Metro probably isn't the series for you. If, however, you're looking for an excellent FPS title that doesn't prioritize its online multiplayer over its single-player campaign, then look no further. The Metro series is so single-player oriented, in fact, that it doesn't even feature multiplayer. Like a fine wine, it's a series that's only gotten better with age. Gameplay has gotten tighter, weapons have become more realistic and visuals have improved immeasurably. That's not to say that the first two games aren't worth playing though and, thanks to Metro Redux, all three games are available on PS4 and the Xbox One. 11/20 Mafia Series
At first glance, the Mafia series might seem like just another GTA clone. Delve a little deeper though and you'll find a series with its own unique identity and plenty of interesting ideas. It's hands down the best video game series about organized crime and features some great writing and a wonderful world that's just begging to be explored. All three games in the series received definitive editions in 2021 which makes this a great time to check them out. The original game, in particular, has never looked better, thanks in large to Hangar 13's decision to remake it rather than simply remastering it as was the case with the other two games. 10/20 Grand Theft Auto 5
It may not capture the same alien locale playground that is the trademark of Far Cry games but Grand Theft Auto 5 is just as wacky and nonsensical when it comes to story. With the first-person mode, the gameplay becomes more familiar. You get to run around stealing vehicles and shooting guns at whoever you like as downtime in between story missions. Like Far Cry games, GTA 5 also doesn't shy away from a Mature rating for video games and can get rather daring with its exposition. 9/20 Just Cause Series
It's practically GTA but more rural and less urban and with more destructive toys to play with. Any of the Just Cause games will do and can give you a similar experience to the Far Cry games and more. For one, Just Cause games allow you more creative and outlandish ways to cause destruction wherever you go. The later games are also more populated and feel bigger than your usual Far Cry maps. 8/20 Borderlands Series
Borderlands might be more akin to the Diablo games than to Far Cry but the FPS format and the grand and bombastic vehicular combat make it close enough. The setting might be futuristic or sci-fi but the core run-and-gun with freedom formula that the Far Cry games have given is all there intact. As an added bonus, Borderlands games also have better replayability with different classes to choose from and an intricate RPG system. It's a lot more flexible and requires more thinking than Far Cry's simple skill trees or weapon combinations, but should be welcome nonetheless. 7/20 Dying Light
Looking at gameplay videos, you might easily mistake Dying Light for Far Cry with zombies. The movement scheme (especially the parkour) is similar and the story and dialogue are equally cheesy and campy. Dying Light does set itself apart by being more focused on melee combat though (during the first half of the game). Stealth is also an option especially at night unless you want to become a chew toy for zombies on steroids. Certain DLCs will also let you unlock vehicles if you feel those are missing. 6/20 Rage Series
Bethesda's Rage series takes heavy inspiration from the Mad Max films which makes it feel surprisingly homogenous to Borderlands. However, it's a lot less over-the-top and more serious with its core combat with a lot fewer RPG elements. In fact, the gameplay loop of the Rage games, especially the second one, is closer to Far Cry than to Borderlands. That very well means Far Cry players will feel right at home with Rage. The vehicular carnage and lead belching are on-point here. 5/20 Homefront: The Revolution
Homefront the revolution
Looking for something more contemporary in terms of setting? Then Homefront: The Revolution might sate that need. It's an open-world FPS where you play as a freedom fighter to free the fictionally oppressed United States under North Korea's rule. It's pretty familiar in terms of atmosphere especially when you've played Far Cry 5. It comes complete with all the open-world FPS checkboxes though the rough launch made the game quite unpopular. The developers have since fixed the game's issues and it should be worth playing now. 4/20 Ghost Recon: Wildlands
When in doubt, go Ubisoft. They made all the Far Cry games after all and know how to replicate its formula successfully for other games. In this case, Ghost Recon: Wildlands - where Ubisoft essentially stripped down their long-standing Ghost Recon games and gave it a Far Cry spin. This game is more tactical and more multiplayer-focused, however, and it's best played with friends. Other than that, it's pretty much the standard Ubisoft fare of clearing outposts, long stretches of open-worlds, and guns... lots of guns.
Not many video games dare make an open world out of modern war-torn or backwater locales, Far Cry stands out because of this and another game also does, namely Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. It's often argued as the best in a long and legendary series. In order to capture the Far Cry experience for The Phantom Pain, players have to stay as much as possible on the open-world as that's how it was meant to be played. Stealth takes the spotlight here but you can also do the same for Far Cry. Moreover, you get two open worlds in The Phantom Pain: Afghanistan or somewhere in Africa, both of which allow you to clear outposts, collect resources, or depopulate the area using lead if you get bored. 2/20 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series
While Far Cry does have a skill tree and customization, it's not quite an RPG and that's the beauty of it. You get to feel an RPG-esque progression but without the grind. Few other FPS capture this and one that trumps Far Cry in this regard is the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. These are old post-apocalyptic FPS games that throw you smack dab in the middle of a quarantined area around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant after the disaster. More than anything, it's about survival against overwhelming odds and all manners of weird phenomena. Far Cry players ought to feel right at home. 1/20 Crysis
Last but not least, Crytek's spiritual successor to their original Far Cry game, Crysis. It's a game that was graphically way ahead of its time; it became a metric for testing whether your computer can produce more heat than a jet engine. Much like Far Cry back in 2004, Crysis pushed the bar high for computer graphics; it did so in a tropical environment too with lots of freedom on how you approach combat situations. You'll find that even Crysis has aged well despite being a 2007 game while still capturing the essence of the original Far Cry.
