Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon - Classic Edition

About

You play as Sergeant Rex Colt, a one man army made of flesh and circuitry. The year is 2007 and the world looks like a bad action movie after the nuclear fallout from the nineties. You land on a strange island to find out what happened to your old boss and his crew of killer robots. This single player shooter lets you run around an open map while blasting everything in sight with over the top weapons. The setting feels like a cheesy VHS tape from the eighties with neon lights and synth music playing in the background. The game does not try hard to be taken seriously, which is why it works so well as a parody of its time. IGDB lists a score of 63.5 out of 100 based on eight user ratings, showing mixed feelings about the experience. Some people love the humor and retro style while others find the story too silly or the gameplay lacking depth. It runs smoothly on current consoles like PS5 and Xbox Series X without needing any extra patches. This version brings the classic action to modern hardware so you do not need an old system to play it.

Storyline

The year is 2007 and Earth has been ravaged by a nuclear war which erupted in the 90's. The east vs. west conflict has raged for generations, and humanity continues to struggle to progress after a disastrous decade. New paths for peace must be found, and the US cyborg army may have found a solution: a powerful bio weapon on a distant island. Your mission is to gather information and figure out what the hell is going on. As Sergeant Rex Colt, you are part man, part machine, all American. You are a state-of-the-art Mark IV cyber commando on a mission… of vengeance. You’re out to bring down your old commanding officer and his battalion of ruthless killer cyborgs-and you’ll stop at nothing to get the job done.
