I honestly didn't even notice microtransactions. You get plenty of money and anything worthwhile in the game is unlocked through missions or bought with in-game money, I don't recall seeing anything locked behind a paywall. The only time money might become an issue is if you're trying to go for all the achievements or something (since they require to buy cars and modify weapons and stuff).

Is FC1 and 2 worth playing?

IMO Yes.

Far Cry 1 was a gem when it came out - massive living environments (relatively speaking, it's actually a pretty linear game in comparison to modern games, but its main competition, whose releases it predated by several months, were HL2 and DOOM 3), ragdoll physics, the ability to take different routes, pretty good AI.

Far Cry 2 is a very, very, very slow burn but if you saw that crowbcat video you can see what sort of details it features that have been absent in the following games. It's pretty real.
