Players can also call in an AI player to assist, but this is problematic as these guys tend to run in front of your gun while you are shooting, or attack an enemy force from whom you’re trying to hide. The game includes a four-person multiplayer - including a map builder, which requires an extra purchase of the online pass. The two-player co-op works best between friends, as communication and cooperation are crucial to completing objectives or gaining achievements. You’re almost always outnumbered, so taking down enemy areas requires patience and a healthy dose of trial and error to find the weak points in each situation.
Stealth is a huge factor, especially when playing Far Cry 4’s solo campaign. That said, the interface is still functional and a large inventory of weapons, takedowns, traps and distractions offers creative ways to get the job done. Controls are a littl clumsy on the last-gen PlayStation 3, hinting that the game may be better suited to PC or PS4/Xbox One.
