I had planned on getting this last week when it was $29.49 on CDKeys, but now it has jumped up to $41.79, I guess due to the Steam release.
It's frustrating, but I just started Sniper Elite 5 so I when I finish it in the next month or two the price should have settled back down.
I loved the first Far Cry and Far Cry 3. However, the last few including this one just don't hold my attention. FC6 looks great, but the gameplay and such is just not appealing to me.
I was going to buy this but forgot about it and now saw that it's free for the next week!
I'll be downloading it as soon as I get home.

I see they are mixed, and for me personally, some of the claimed game play issues (cumbersome climbing, etc.) don't really bother me. However, I think I'll focus on finishing Wonderlands over the next couple weeks and then circle back to Sniper once I'm done. This will give it the benefit of a...
Yeah, I'm glad Rebellion stuck to their guns (bad pun) and realized if it ain't broke don't fix it. These days, it seems too many developers stray from what made the original game fun and screw it up. Doom Eternal and Shadow Warrior 3 immediately come to mind for me!
Any word of zero-day bugs...
Looks like the reviews are hitting the net today. They seem fairly positive, and one article cites a campaign length of 12 hours.

Guess I'm just lazy but the Ghost Warrior games are a little too technical to me — I like to just point and shoot, not fumble with the wind, velocity, elevation, etc.
I supposed that's why I like Sniper Elite more.
Indeed, Borderlands is very popular right now and the upcoming movie seems to be getting very good press: https://collider.com/borderlands-movie-footage-jack-black-cate-blanchett-kevin-hart-cinemacon/
I've never tried Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, so I'm playing through it first. Then I'll probably pick up Wonderlands. It's still at $47 on CDKeys so I'm hoping it drops some more by the time I get ready to buy it!
I was enjoying it until they threw in some ridiculous grappling item where you have to fly between buildings while dodging enemy fire.
I deleted it because it's the same stupid shit I can't stand in Dying Light.
I played about thirty minutes of it last night. The RTX reflections are really nice, but the controls feel a little wonky.
I plan on putting some more time into it over the weekend and seeing how it goes.
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands release times
Wonderlands unlocks simultaneously across the globe, if you're playing on PC: the Tiny Tina's Wonderlands release time is 7pm ET / 4pm PT on March 24. The game unlocks at midnight in all territories besides PT (9pm) if you're on console.
San Francisco...
I have enjoyed all the Sniper Elite installments. I'm lazy and like that I can just shoot the rifle and hit targets without all the correction for wind, etc.
Reviews are hitting now and are generally positive:

Ugh, looks like it will use Denuvo. Let's hope it doesn't impact performance too much!

Looks like I'm one of the few who actually liked the 2nd one more than the first.
At any rate, fingers crossed and looking forward to trying it tomorrow!
