I've got to say something about the Far Cry series, since they've been kind of a fascination of mine. Listing this under Far Cry 4 since it's the one I can come closest to recommending because it's got great scenery and /less/ uncomfortable stuff than FC3 or FC5.

Far Cry markets itself as "the outdoor shooter"; a series of violent vacations across the globe with a gruff masculinity driving it. Its structure is akin to an MMO-lite--pick an objective from your world map, travel there (perhaps with a random event or two along the way), do the activity, collect money to put towards upgrades, repeat. It's a gun-loving carnivore's dream come true... which isn't who I am at all. The trouble is that it has some real fun! I love scouting outposts, tagging targets, and trying to sneakily take out guards with a bow and arrow. You can see how the series became such an influence over games like Metal Gear Solid V and Horizon Zero Dawn. It's just impossible to recommend because it's not an especially compact or varied experience and I'm way less charmed by its thin cynical plot, the constant gunfire echoing through the hills, and the explicit task of killing and skinning near-endangered animals.
