Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Blood Dragon is a stand-alone expansion of Far Cry 3, meaning players do not need the original game to play it. Gameplay, though akin to Far Cry 3, using the same engine and general mechanics, is streamlined to provide a more linear experience. The skill tree, instead of a chosen path down three "ways of the animal", is replaced with a simpler leveling system that automatically unlocks benefits. The crafting is removed completely. The gameplay is open world, first-person shooter, with the same vehicles from Far Cry 3. Players will find themselves using high powered explosives, heavily modified firearms, and a large knife in order to kill their way through the main missions. Side missions involve liberating garrisons, killing rare animals, and saving hostages. Stealth is rewarded with extra Cyber Points, the equivalent of Experience Points. The game also includes lots of hidden collectibles which, when found, unlock helpful rewards to assist with play.

Simultaneously one of the most generic and unique games Ubisoft will likely ever put out. It's brevity is one of its strong points, not overstaying it's welcome like most of Ubisoft's games usually do. The soundtrack is fantastic, visuals hold up well and the weapons feel powerful. There is the annoyance of the having to wait for the game to check for online services which are no longer supported, here is a link to a patched .dll file to fix this issue.

Played this one to 100% on the xbox
the most fun ever, its Far Cry peak similar to Far Cry 3, after this the franchise went down.
Goes often on sale, can only recommend to grab it with FC3 and enjoy some real good games

Far Cry® 3 Blood Dragon
Vote 82 ✅
What a surprise! I finally managed to recover this little gem thanks to the addition of achievements!
a small super mega fun Spin-off that unfortunately nowadays are no longer seen.
a sort of Far Cry 3 reinvented in a way that makes it extremely fun to play and much more interesting.

Ubisoft hasn't made a better Far Cry game than this. Prove me wrong.
The atmosphere, the story, the awesome soundtrack by Power Glove. It's all a love letter to cheesy 80's sci-fi action movies and I love it. Still an absolute banger in 2024

If Far Cry usually drowns you in endless bases, collectibles, and map markers, Blood Dragon is the antidote. This bite-sized spin-off ditches Ubisoft’s infamous "checklist" open-world formula, delivering a tight 6-hour burst of 80s neon, synthwave, and cyborg-dragon chaos. No filler, just lasers and absurdity.
Neon-soaked landscapes, cheesy Van Damme-era action homages, and a soundtrack ripped from a forgotten VHS tape. The gameplay is classic Far Cry — liberate outposts, go wild with over-the-top weapons — but without the grind. Even taming laser-eyed dragons stays fun because, well, it’s over before it gets old.
You’re Sergeant Rex "Cyber Commando" Power (yes, really), a hero named by a 13-year-old’s doodle. The plot? A B-movie mashup of rogue AI, mutant beasts, and dialogue so gloriously dumb it’d make Schwarzenegger cringe (then smirk). It’s self-aware, never takes itself seriously, and that’s the charm.
No bloated skill trees, no 100-hour "commitment." Blood Dragon condenses Ubisoft’s usual excess into a concentrated shot of fun. It mocks open-world tropes while delivering just enough chaos to leave you grinning — not groaning.
A rare Ubisoft gem that’s better for being short. No time for filler, just pure 80s-action homage with cyborgs, synth beats, and dragons that shoot freaking lasers. Proof that sometimes, less neon (okay, fine, slightly less) is more.
