YouTube star MarleyThirteen recently explored the new DLC and donned his zoology expert attire to delve deep into the heart of South America. Lush rainforests, vibrant foliage, rolling mountains and striking ruins from civilisations gone by – sounds perfect for the first-person shooter game master. Marley discovered that there is more to gaming life than the first-person shooter genre and loved creating his own Amazon paradise. You can check out the full documentary below.
