Far Cry 3

In a nutshell, Far Cry 3 is everything gamers missed in Far Cry 2 (after Crytek was tossed out of the franchise by Ubisoft), and even Crysis 2 (in which Crytek swaps the tropical paradise setting for grim, apocalyptic New York).

Ubisoft got quite a few things right about the tropical paradise in Far Cry 3. You play the survivor of a perfect island holiday gone wrong as you and a group of friends are captured by a group of local terrorists. The DirectX 11-optimized version of the Dunia Engine recreates jungles, beaches, and the ocean in stunning detail if your hardware can keep up.
