A graphical history of Far Cry: 17 years of huge maps, epic vistas, and fast food fighting fun

When you think of the Far Cry games, what do you picture? I see beautiful ocean views, lots of guns, frantic battles, and a host of semi-unstable characters acting out a larger-than-life story. That's how they've been almost since the very first one came out in 2004, and for 17 years, Ubisoft has stuck to the theme of bullet-flinging anarchy.

There's no sign of a new one coming out just yet, but since we've just enjoyed a new (and surprisingly good) Assassin's Creed game, it perhaps won't be long before we're back in the action.
