Still, Kyrat functions just like the Rook Islands. It’s a place of new sights and sounds: an eagle carrying a bleating goat in its talons a man running screaming from a rhino a tenacious honey badger who won’t take 'Argghhh go away!' for an answer. You can almost sense the higher altitude, the thinner air. The region they call Kyrat, located deep in the Himalayas, feels more remote than Far Cry 3’s jeweled tropics. I buzz over a picturesque lake with flowery lily pads, a quaint stone hut village decorated with multicoloured flags, and an ancient shrine set in a mountain. It’s a place of new sights and sounds: an eagle carrying a bleating goat in its talons a man running screaming from a rhino.
