The first of FC4’s downloadable content packs is here, but is it any good?
Remember Durgesh Prison from the Far Cry 4? Remember waking up in a cosy house after making your escape, with no idea of how you got there? Well, in Escape from Durgesh Prison, Far Cry 4’s first DLC pack, you get to play through a scenario that has you fighting your way to the helicopter that got you out of there.
The title is misleading, though: Ubisoft really should have called it “Reach the Extraction Point to Complete Your Escape from Durgesh Prison” for accuracy, but that name clearly didn’t have the same ring to it.
Basically, you wake up unarmed and with none of the skills you unlocked in the main game, and you must fight your way to the extraction point, liberating outposts, gathering crafting materials and completing side-quests along the way that unlock bonuses and upgrades, all while having bad guy Pagan Min yapping in your ear.
This pack is essentially a big challenge map that can be played solo or with a friend, and while it can be fun, that’s something that may annoy anyone looking for something with a bit more substance for their R120.
