It's the only Far Cry game I couldn't force myself to finish and I finished all the others (including Blood Dragon); the most surprising was Far Cry 5 where it started completely meh (I left it alone for a month after the initial gameplay) and then ended up as my favorite; maybe 2 is similar.

The most disappointing thing about Far Cry 5, for me, was the lack of a sanitized version of the map without creepy death cult murder sites and such, that you could drive trucks around, hike, and hunt & fish as you please. My (much too young to play Far Cry) son would have loved that, and it's almost there in the post-game sandbox mode.

I think they've started doing those for the Assassin's Creed series, so you never know, future iterations might bring something like that.

There are often mods to do stuff like this, at least for PC. If that works for you, might be worth a look.

Funny, 2 is one of the few games I ever played twice.
