You can take a look at Amazon Lumberyard which is free. It's based on CryEngine, which is behind Far Cry.

Note that Lumberyard became "Open 3D Engine" (yes, very inspired name) which is Apache 2 licensed:

AFAIK all development in Lumberyard has ceased and moved to O3DE.

And O3DE is mostly a rewrite. It's really interesting to compare the last public CryEngine releases and O3DE for example how the rendering architecture is laid out.

Crytek and Crysis, not Far Cry.

Edit: I stand corrected, it was Crytek and the CryEngine

Far Cry 2 starts to diverge from CryEngine roots with the introduction of Dunia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubisoft#Dunia_Engine
