Far Cry 4

2014's hottest shooter, Far Cry 4 takes us to the Himalayan country of Kyrat (based loosely on Nepal or Bhutan, with Indian influences), where our protagonist is abducted by a mysterious local warlord and turned into an errand boy. It may sound all too similar to Far Cry 3, but the game's mountainous and snowy jungle setting is a huge departure from the tropical-island setting of its predecessor, giving you some genuinely new gameplay elements, such as vertical combat. Based on the latest version of the Dunia 2 engine, Far Cry 4 takes advantage of DirectX 11 and is extremely resource-heavy.
