Is it still worth playing?

Ubisoft Montreal's 2012 first person shooter for Windows, the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, set in an open world on the fictional Rook Islands. After a vacation goes wrong, Jason Brody has to save his friends, kidnapped by pirates, and escape the islands. You use firearms, explosives and stealth options such as silenced weapons, knives and thrown rocks, with skills in three trees, Spider, Heron and Shark, unlocked by experience. You hunt animals for crafting materials and harvest plants for healing syringes. Vehicles include buggies, jet skis, boats and hang gliders, climbing radio towers reveals the map, and liberating outposts gives fast travel points. Five core systems, sneaking, shooting, driving, exploring and hunting, all feed the same leveling system, so the same encounter plays out differently depending on stealth, firepower and wildlife, and that is the reason to play it now.
