Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis Critic Reviews

Valley of the Yetis is easily Far Cry 4's best post-release offering. It's small enough where you can see everything it has to offer in a reasonable amount of time, but large enough where you feel like you're getting a whole new Far Cry 4 experience. It's more Far Cry 4 in the best way.

A much plumper DLC than Escape from Durgesh Prison, Valley of the Yetis offers a new location and some fresh ideas like the night assaults. A must-have, at least if you loved the original Far Cry 4.

Valley of the Yetis is a solid expansion, providing both fresh gameplay and intense emotions.

Valley of the Yetis has a few issues, the major one being the stripping of all your hard work in the main game, but it is still a ton of fun.

Despite not having much to do outside of the campaign new defense missions, exploring the Valley of the Yetis is good fun - both as the hunter and as the hunted.

There's much to be played here, but there's also repetition, and the tower defense mechanics don't feel as new as they should. Still, a good deal for every Far Cry 4 hardcore fan.

Far Cry 4 says goodbye with a great DLC, and although it doesn't achieve the level of Blood Dragon, it offers fun times hunting the yetis.

If you've completed Far Cry 4 and you want more content, this is an interesting option.

Valley of the Yetis is without a doubt the biggest downloadable content for Far Cry 4. The snowy valleys are a great place to spend your time, and the nightly defense missions and the yeti are a great addition to the original gameplay. The yeti could have been a tad more challenging though.

The Valley of the Yetis is not high class DLC that adds to the original at all fronts, but it does offer a beautiful, new environment in which you can discover adventures and explosions.

Valley of the Yetis feels like a medley of Far Cry 4's greatest hits, and while none of the missions stray particularly far from the established formula, you'll still have fun scavenging for weapons and building your defences, which at least makes up for the disappointing Yetis.

Fantasy enemies clearly work very well with Far Cry, but this abridged version of the main game really should be having more fun with its characters than this.

The best thing Valley of the Yetis has going for it is the inherent fun that comes from using Far Cry 4’s skills, weapons, and vehicles. Everything else feels wasted.

Valley of the Yetis is a season (pass) finale which lacks the imaginative form and the brute substance of its mythological star, trivialized in herds. A predictable flip-flop between repetitive defensive sieges and uninspired armed explorations. Night and day, till the (early) end.

Valley of the Yeti is certainly worth playing for its interesting new ideas and that classic Far Cry feel, but its overly cold approach to its story.
