I really liked Far Cry 2, even playing a decade after launch. I'd be really interested in seeing a remake, in vr would be cool too. If you ever play it crank it to Infamous. It gives a real scrappy vibe to the game where you win due to cunning not strength, which not many games capture like FC2 did.

The only criticism/disclaimer I can give about the plot is that structure wise it's different from most stories. The middle is composed of a bunch of events that don't have any big impact on the major story. But I felt that it was done so in a tasteful way important to the ideas the game was trying to convey.
