    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All 3 endings, the good, the bad, and the "hidden" ending, are absolute garbage. The ending to Mass Effect 3 was better, and reflected your choices from the game more. No matter what you choose, no matter who you save, no matter how many outpost you liberate or collectables you find, you are screwed in the end. Insanity or a nuclear wasteland Montana are all that await you after hours of gameplay.

    This is a massive F-YOU from Ubisoft.    … Expand

The original formula of taking the fight to the antagonist has been changed into a three-way structure where the player must first work his/her way up the ladder and take down the lieutenants before confronting the main antagonist of the game, Joseph Seed. The player must now work his/her way thought numerous main and side quests, the majority of which boil down to either following an NPC and clearing some area occupied by the enemy, or going to find and retrieve something the individual which gave you the mission has lost or needs.

    The story of this game could have been very, very intriguing if it had followed a more focused mission format where the player truly feels the mission which he/she is undertaking is worth their while, and not for the sole purpose of building up enough RP (Resistance Points) to progress in the main story. This interrupts the flow of the game, where when the player finally has progressed far enough to view one or two very thought-provoking cut scenes, ones that make the player truly question the morality of what it is they are doing, the game automatically cuts any chance to dwell on these questions raised by the antagonists and place them back into the open world where they must, once again, build up enough RP via fetch quests and etc to progress further in the story. By the end of the game, the player truly feels like he/she has had enough of the game and simply rushes to complete the story because of how similarly it plays out for each of the three regions.

    The map of Hope County has been divided into three separate regions with two islands in the middle. Two or three hours into the game, the player can notice the lack of anything intuiting, where the majority of the land mass is composed of trees and hills, with buildings here and there. The map, because of this, feels very small, and the player cannot help but feel cramped in the roads where he/she will encounter the enemy what feels like every thirty seconds (This is not exaggerated, when the player travels by road, the game truly plays out this way).

    The majority of what made the previous two main installments Far Cry games has also been removed for a more simplistic alternatives. Crafting, once a great way to improve ones' player and give them a real, solid reason for them to go out and hunt the diverse wildlife these games has been removed, save a few explosives and homeopathic medicine which can be crafted to aid in the players game play. The mini map has also been replaced with a bar at the top of the player's interface which does not really help with anything, and often fails to highlight key things like collectibles and even vehicles. It does, however, highlight enemies when few have been left in the area where the player is, so he/she may track them down without a problem, but even that comes of little use when the dog companion, Boomer, can simply dag them and make them glow red so they may be visible behind objects and buildings.

    Although this game does offer micro-transactions, they never feel as if they come in the way of the player's experience as they are reserved for purely cosmetic purposes, cosmetics which can also be purchased with virtual, in game dollars the player has accumulated over the course of the game.

    Overall, Far Cry 5, although it carried nuggets of what could have been a spectacular game, tries too hard to try new things which simply do not pay off. The villain, although an intriguing character which does have valid points of the many things he talks about, is wasted on a mute character which simply stares at him while he is talking and has nothing to say. It is in these times where the silence becomes especially evident the player realizes how great the game could have been if the player were able to communicate with some of the strongest characters in the entire franchise instead of wordlessly absorb everything they say. The reason player found the previous entries so intriguing was because of he odd relationships between the protagonists and the antagonists like the menacing and crazed Vass and Jason Brody, or even Ajay Ghale and the comedic and often times oddly protective Pagan Min. The relationship between the antagonist and the protagonist was what made players want to keep playing these games, listening to the conversations they had with each other and how it reflected their personalizes.

    Far Cry 5's biggest problem is the developer's desire to give the player a different experience, one which the players are not willing to partake in because of the numerous flaws the game has as well as the tedium it brings with it which, after finishing the game, just makes them feel like something is missing.    … Expand

    Enemies are pretty generic as-well, mostly copy pasted versions with different beards.

    Crafting has been removed for upgrading stuff like your wallet etc which isn't a good thing imo, hunting is just another way to make money, that's it, of which money doesn't get you much, as there isn't much to actually buy other than the expensive things like vehicles which are just re-skinned versions of one another.

    - They removed too many features and didn't replace them with anything interesting to fill the void, hell even more weapons to buy would of been nice as it's lacking pretty bad.

    You're simply running around the world mindlessly doing a quest here and there and it just feels bland as you're constantly running into enemies that chase you, like how Police in GTA act when you're at 5 stars.

    The perk system is pretty generic, etc more health, more ammo.

    The game has so much potential but unfortunately it falls really short, specially the story, it should of been expanded into a more interesting story, but even that feels generic.

    Most of the quests are go here, kill these guys etc.

    I am extremely disappointed, unfortunately DLC won't even expand upon the main games story-line which could of been so great.

    - Value for money is simply not here, I'd wait for a sale if I could go back knowing about the game.    … Expand

    Far Cry 5 is a game made by and for the emotionally bereft. Every character in this game talks with the same emotional connection that they would have to a tree.

Every character in this game talks with the same emotional connection that they would have to a tree. I've never seen Hurk and Willis more lifeless. Story for me is important. Since 'People' liked Vaas so much from 3 (forgetting about all the other amazing actors as well), you get captured a ton of times with some magic bullet (I'm not kidding here) for each of 4 enemies to lord over you in their own unique and demented fashion. Somehow these "Magic Bullets" don't show up in the final battle when it would be so easy to just knock you out and slit your throat. So the story is both functionally and logically re******. There is not adequate em or mocap except with the demented bosses. If you are expecting a payoff for all your hard work, well? Would you like a kick to the balls or a kick to the teeth? The only good ending happens in the very beginning when you can choose to walk away. I would say take that a step further...don't even buy this game. That's really the very best ending. Save your money and avoid the disappointment. For people who just want to play with the toys, FC5 does not disappoint. There are way more toys in the sandbox than any other game I've ever known. The soundtrack is decent as well. Yet 'Story' and connection are my payoffs and this game is empty in that department.… Expand

    A bit repetitive, too much stupid, unnecessary activities but the worst thing about this game is streaming textures stuttering. It's unbelievable that Ubisoft don't care about it and didn't fix it. The game is 8/10 but it's unacceptable to release any game with issues like that, that's not what I paid for. Ubisoft, you should disappear forever, I won't buy any of your games again.

    Far Cry 5 is the worst Far Cry to date. The formula is extremely stale at this point and there's very little that's going to surprise you in this game. You've seen it all before in Far Cry 3 and 4, and other Ubisoft games.

    Far Cry 3 was a good game since what they brought out was fresh, and they had great villains (and some great other characters as well). Far Cry 4 was a copypaste job that didn't improve on Far Cry 3 except for graphics in some parts. In fact, I'd say Pagan Min was the only reason Far Cry 4 was even playable from start to finish. The gameplay was just as boring, but my desire to learn more about this dude kept me playing.

    Far Cry 5 doesn't have a charming villain or anything fresh in it to redeem it as a gaming experience. It's the same goddamn McDouble you've have had the chance to eat for the past 10 years. It's not going to magically taste better all of a sudden.    … Expand

    Said so, did that and... did NOT work either!

    BUT... when runnoing the programme as a standalone, I have been able to open my game through another programme, named "NVIDIA GeForce Experience" and that can be used to optimize games... I did not to that, I simply started the game via this other platform/vehicle/app..

    FUN FACT: up until now, I have played about 20 hours with sufferi g just ONE system-failure (crash).
    compare this to the day I tried running the original uplay version, I got BLUESCREENS left and right - even though I could not get the game to actually go beyond the menue!

    That was that, the really embarrassing part about the game, the one reason, why you should NOT BUY THIS GAME!
    "Technical issues" of that magnitude and the lack of a proper fix by Ubisoft - making paying customers(!) have to download a pirated version - just to being able to play the game°
    This is really sick and most definitely NOT how it is supposed to be.... and some people still don't understand why others oirate. :(

    Customers are treated like **** served unfinished products - in no other industry would this be possible, imagine getting half-cooked spaghetti, or a j´halfass-sewen jacket you cannot close - that is what UBISUCKS is doing here!
    They sell us a game in an unfinished, unpolished, buggy state, so bad, it is even UNPLAYABLE ojn many systems. This is not okay and definitely the last Far Cry title I'm going to buy in the next few years....BUT, AT LEAST THERE WERE ONLY AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM AMOUNT FOR "towers you HAVE TO climb (like a dick or an ape)". ;)

    play FC 4 - so far the best in the series, though, even 3 has more charme and far fewer problems, than this POS game! I am really sad to say this, as I really liked the series a lot, from the start, btw.
    UNFORTUNATELY, this game franchis has been "UBISOFTED", whichh should be defined a "a frsnchise recipe, that is rinsed and repeat every so often, until even the greatest fans could not stand it any longer".
    They have done it to "Assassin's Creed" - too many games, far to little innovation /PLUS TOWERS TO CLIMB)! and now they are trying to milk "Far Cry" in exactly the same way. Please, stop supporting this, as this is - clearly - MADNESS (not Sparta, not at all)!    … Expand

    The story is also bad.

All you do is go from point A to point B and kill a crowd of people, and then you get a reward for it. No interesting craft, where animation, animation of animals. There is no selection animation, just press E and that's it. All enemies have the same faces. Useless team that only prevents you from completing tasks.
    Bad story that does not reveal. How did these thugs hit the island? Why do they kill people? Why do people protect themselves from them? ...
    Playing stealth is no longer interesting, as in 3 or 4 parts. Just put the muffler on the machine gun and that's it. Remove the silencers, add more variety of weapons, increase recoil, take the ammunition from the player and start playing more interesting.
    At the very beginning of the game I had a lot of ammo, excellent weapons and all consumables.

    This game is one of the biggest waste of time experiences I've ever had. In essence it is a remastering and re-patched special edition of Far Cry 3.

In essence it is a remastering and re-patched special edition of Far Cry 3. That would be fine because Far Cry 3 was a really good game, but Far Cry 5 isn't. First off I think that when you have a first person shooter the weapons need to hit where you aim and not have shots fly off to the sides when you're trying to snipe a gut on a rooftop so you don't alert anyone. Every weapon seems like it's not adjusted so you shoot left and right off your target while laying down prone with a 8x scope fixed on an enemy's head and he's standing still.
    The map is fine and the elements of fishing and hunting work just like in Far Cry 3, so that's fine, but it doesn't make a difference at all to the game if it is in or not. enemies spawn all over the place ALL THE TIME, so you can't go anywhere without bumping into enemies and constantly have to kill 8 guys at every turn in the road. Visually the game looks good. nice colors and environment and the wildlife acts somewhat close to real wildlife so hunting feels real in some ways without being to boring. physics, especially while driving boats and flying are atrocious but you don't really care since it gets the job done and you don't depend that much on it.
    All this wouldn't mean a bad game if it was Far Cry 3 but this is Far Cry 5 and this game has the most idiotic and stupid story.... maybe of all time. You don't have a clue what is going on at any point of what the overall goal is with your actions or what the main villains plan is. You get kidnapped over and over to signal a new chapter in the story where you repeat the same over and over and over. I more or less figured out there was some thing about a certain sentence (won't spoil it) but you blast your way through enemies and bosses and you wait for that reward of finally nailing The Father and his family so you push on. Through the game I found myself not understanding why anyone would ever follow The Father since he strikes me as the opposite of a real cult leader, since he's talking about the bible all the time but it's gibberish, with zero context, not real bible quotes, quotes that don't fit any of the situations, Greg Bryk does a good job with the character but he's not a leader, he's a frail **** with an end goal that makes no sense and you don't care because there is no connection between the Potagonist and the Father and his family. You sit through cut scene after cut scene and plow your way through enemies in the thousands and in the end the game gives you the worst ever ending I've ever seen in any game that feels like a real and finish product. You feel like you got spit in the face and not in the good way where you want to do it all again to show who's boss but in the way where you feel like you just completely wasted 30 hours of your life on this stupid cash grab.    … Expand

The story is hollow, poorly written trash while the subject material is inherently controversial - a combination which takes effort to achieve. The gameplay is ludicrously simple if you think about which companions you recruit (self-reviving snipers don't need help from the player), and strategy is never worth using.

    Sure, the player dies in a few hits on the hardest mode, but when your companions can casually clear any situation the challenge is entirely gone. The devs seem to have realized this to some extent, adding enemies which spawn in constantly and randomly, but this only adds a dreadfully monotonous nuisance which again the companions deal with easily by themselves.

    To top it off, once explosive weapons are unlocked the player doesn't even need his companions anymore.

    In a nutshell, fun for the casual gamer who doesn't pay attention to the story, but awful for those who require a challenge and/or immersion.    … Expand

I don't own the game on Steam, so I wasn't able to play it. Whatever. I bought the game on discount, so now I can play it. One star gets knocked off for Ubisoft's licensing nonsense.

    First off, I encountered the 30-minute opening cinematic. Yep, right off the bat you're blasted with 30 minutes of unskippable cinematics. Minus one star. It's not bad the first time you play it, but if you were to ever go back, it would be a serious annoyance. Just as annoying as Skyrim. It just goes on and on and on and on. You can't even walk away and do something else, because it ANNOYINGLY makes you press w to walk and w to take off a seat belt. I would go so far as to say this is the most annoying intro to any game I have ever played. Then you finally get to play a completely annoying rails shooter / cinematic, then, you guessed it, you're bombarded with another 20 minutes or so of unskippable cinematics. Absolutely awful.

    It's a BUGGY MESS, worse than Skyrim. So many things glitch out.

    The story isn't very good. Someone at Ubisoft should have asked if anyone outside of Montana cares if it's taken over by cultists.

    AI henchmen are totally useless. It's hard to believe they paid someone to program that feature.

    Overall, Far Cry 5 is a HUGE disappointment. Two big thumbs down, not recommended to anyone, even Far Cry fans. This game just sucks, and that's coming from a huge fan of Far Cry 3 and 4.    … Expand

Tedious cut scenes (yes you can skip them but then you don't know what's happening) and enemies constantly, ludicrously, spawning practically right into my back pocket really steal all of the enjoyment I would otherwise get from the quests. Literally every quest, at some point, I find myself spinning around in a panic trying to figure out who is shooting me and invariably it's an NPC standing about 4 microns away right behind me. After the magic NPC has murdered me I get to start over, and likely have the same thing happen. Past FC games have made the challenges rewarding, and I've enjoyed that - but something about this experience just makes me rage quit after an hour long session, rather than buckle down and try harder. Both the exploratory play and the quests are made a lot less fun by the constant disappearing of ... everything. Want to go back to that vehicle you had to park in order to deal with half a dozen enemy trucks that magically appeared directly behind you? Too bad, it's probably gone. Want to loot all the enemy bodies after helping defend an outpost? Too bad, they're definitely all gone. Want to skin that animal you just shot? Good luck finding the carcass before it despawns. I'll probably finish playing all the way through, just because I'm a stubborn jerk and want to get my $15 worth. I can't see myself spending any extra time after the main story is done, in exploratory game play, like I have for countless hours with previous FC games. It's such a heart breaker because this game had so much potential. I really like the mechanics and the realtime visuals, and the environment is gorgeous - those are all areas where this game improves upon previous games, in my opinion. Unfortunately, at least for me, they amount to precious little saving grace (pun fully intended) in the face of the routine and fundamental frustrations. I know I know... "get gud". No thanks, I'd rather drag my sack across the pavement. I'd be real ticked off if I had paid full price for this game, but for $15 it's fine I guess.… Expand

But the gameplay is largely unchanged, and as fun as it is, you settle into a state of dull compliance - similar to how I felt about the story, actually. Can we talk about the story?

    It's a goddamn mess. The tone is wildly inconsistent - one moment, it's a serious look into the 'christian' cults of North America and their methods of inducting members, chilling descriptions of the cult's brainwashing techniques repeated and professed by honest, earnest believers. The next moment, there's a drug called Bliss that lobotomises people, or sometimes it brainwashes people, and sometimes it's temporary but usually it's not, and it gives you telepathic powers? And the cult has been using it to indoctrinate people, and also fuel their explosives and... it's a contrived Deus Ex Machina, shoehorned into what could have been a sobering commentary on religious cult behaviours and abuses of power.

    Not to mention the staple of Far Cry - the villains - fall kind of flat. Joseph Seed is played very well by Greg Bryk but he's not really in it all that much compared to his three lieutenants - Jacob is a zealot obsessed with natural selection (work that one out) John is a... lawyer? Torturer? TV Show host? He's really keen on the word 'Yes' and it gets so uncomfortable the game tries to have a cute joke about it by giving you a mission where you blow up a sign that says "Yes" in the mountains, and calling it "No Means No." Cute, Ubisoft. And then there's Faith, who is manipulative, but also a hippy, but also manipulated by Joseph, and she's a telepath and she loves the Bliss, and... I struggled enough to care about Joseph, and in the end i just disliked them and their stupid circular logic to the point i was grumbling at the characters themselves. Maybe that's the point, but that doesn't mean i have to like it.

    Don't even get me STARTED on the ending. It's terrible no matter which way you slice it - contrived, unsatisfying, and makes everything feel like a waste of time.Again, maybe that's the point - but again, the point is dumb and terrible and i hate it.

    The rest of the game? it's pretty good, i guess. The core gameplay loop is fun and satisfying, you get to customise your character, and with every outpost captured you get closer to being captured yourself! Yes, after having fun in the wide open world you get railroaded into a cutscene with one of the boring cult lieutenants, then a short, linear gameplay section where you escape, and this... this happens about nine times over the course of the game. It's cartoonish, and by the time you're taking on your third lieutenant you'll just be sick of it. The Guns for Hire and npcs you meet are pretty likeable, and some of them even have good character arcs - but they're underutilised in a game that claims to be about a community coming together to fight against a huge threat.

    All in all, i can't really recommend Far cry 5. The story had potential, but it doesn't just fall flat - it crashes and burns, causing a 70-car pile-up with no survivors - not the characters, not the fun side activities, not even the staple Far Cry gameplay can get past the story's bloat. Which is a shame, considering how much I like the rest of the series.    … Expand

    Stealth mechanics simply suck. What's the point of having a silencer if enemy NPC's are still alerted to your position when you shoot an NPC from a bush. Especially when the enemy NPC is alone and the body isn't found.

    Chain takedowns only work half the time, pistol takedowns work a quarter of a time, vehicle takedowns are no longer a thing, death from above now only works undetected, and death from below was used only once during the tutorial. Can no longer drag bodies after taking them down, making stealth much harder as well. Enemy NPCS will often spot you through bushes while crouched.

    Weapon variety went from nearly 40+ guns in Far Cry 4, to like 15 guns max in Far Cry 5. Basically, for each category (Handgun/Rifle/SMG/Sniper), the starter version is better than most of the upgrades you spend hours to unlock.

    Forced main missions make clearing up the side mission list annoying.
    NPC's in ATV's and trucks literally spawn like every 50m. You practically can't run anywhere without attracting someone's attention and getting shot at.

    Companion system is new and fun, but basically as worthless as the Death from Below mechanic. After the first companion, you will essentially pretend that the other companions you unlock exist.

    Far Cry 2 (by Ubisoft Montreal) had many cool features going for it, like spreading fire and an interesting location... but honestly, it felt like a far cry ( haha.. pun inteded) from what Crytek had came up with. It didn't take me long to realize Ubisoft had simply capitalized on the success of the first game by Crytek and launched its own cookie-cutter version. It seems to be around the time Ubisoft went down the drain with the copy/paste formula of generic games.

    I had such a dislike for the formula Far Cry 2 offered; being rinse & repeat gameplay, that I haven't played ANY Far Cry game since that one. I FINALLY decided to give Far Cry 5 a try, eventhough I know how generic Ubisoft games are.

    I want to give it to Ubisoft for creating a very good looking world, great shooting mechanics and what appears at first to be a very interesting story/setting.

    Unfortunately, that's pretty much where the positives stop for me.

    Ubisoft really are the masters of generic gameplay. While I don't like comapring different styles of games or different companies, I feel like pointing out some comparison with Bethesda. Bethesda also have found some sort of formula... but unlike Ubisoft, they seem to always work on the next game and bring some kind of fresh take, whether it's game mechanics, story or setting.

    Far Cry 5 has some of the most annoying character dialogue I've ever heard, and cutscenes that I skip because nothing feels sincere.. everything feels out of place, fake and bloated clichés. The gameplay hasn't changed at all since Far Cry 2.. and from what I've seen on Youtube from previous entries, Far Cry 5 is simply another copy/paste job with boosted graphics.

    this is where I feel like games like GTA, Elder Scrolls, Red Dead Redemption, Fallout, etc... really shine because they come up with a linear story that takes you for a ride, but they still offer you some open-ended features.

    Unfortunately, for me Far Cry 5 feels like I'm playing any of the other Ubisoft games. I dislike generic games where you do the same thing over and over and over.. Capture this spot, defend this spot, attack this spot.. over and over and over. Even the Main Missions are just as cookie-cutter with very little intrigue or suspense.

    I think I'll be taking another extended break from Ubisoft games for the next 10 years. Too generic for my taste.    … Expand

In addition, the game removes things that many fans loved, such as climbing towers, dressings, outposts and, most importantly, an interesting character, not a zombie. I mean, the game has lost some of its essence. But OK. Worst of all is the story. Man, what a story without a head or a head ... everything there is strange and meaningless. Everything is poorly explained, the main character is a nobody, his friends are strangers and the antagonists are distant and poorly explained. The beginning is ok, although clueless. But the rest ... Strange missions, strange place. It looks more like a resident evil than a Far Cry. And the ending, well ... strange, boring ... forced. I didn't like it.… Expand

    It's not a bad game. But from a AAA, it's awful.

    Pros :
    - Visually neat. Except usual clipping and a couple of missing texture, game's beautiful
    - Soundtrack is good while not memorable.
    - Lot of things to do, as usual. You can switch off your brain and enjoy cause lot of them are useless.

    Cons :
    - Gunfeel is awful. Weapons with so much recoil you can forget auto mode.
    - Story is not a bad idea, but is baddly done. Could really done a change of style, and explore morality involved, but no. You'll be FORCED to witness cinematics of variable quality, with sometimes irritating antagonist, and be teleported somewhere else on the map. YOU CAN'T AVOID IT. It's so **** up, so FORCED on the player i can't believe it passed QA or even brainstorming. Needless to say, there is next to no choice involved.
    - The rest of the story is doing the same randomly things (outpost, kill random event, some secondary mission) to th next cinematics, until you fill the gauge.
    - Did only one boss before overloading during the 2nd area and uninstalling th game. Faith is a **** boss. Neither giving satisfaction or fun. NPC are infuriating of dumbness (as much as your character)

    Like most AAA games, it play not baddly, but is SUBPAR in quality.    … Expand

    Far cry 5 is an acceptable Ubisoft open-world game with an offensively mediocre story. I was convinced to make a Metacritic account just to warn others of how bad this is. Also don't forget the game will pull you out of the gameplay to force you into cutscenes by kidnapping you somehow while you're in a plane or at the bottom of a lake or in an allied bunker. This happens 9 times.

    FC5 on the other hand simply removed many cool things from FC4, especially the healing animations that were cool as **** and many options of takedown. I've loved those things and I've got super disappointed, without those things, FC5 becomes just a generic third-person shooter game. The only special thing in FC5 is the possibility of bringing allies in your fights. I didn't like this mechanic because they are OP and they removed the challenge of the game. It was so fun and challenging in the previous FCs just trying to kill everyone at stealth with the many takedowns as possible. Now your "guns for hire" just do everything for you.

    The story is also bad. The beginning is cool but after that is just a downfall since you don't care at all about the protagonist (he is literally a nobody without a story) and your allies are just comic relief so you can't take them seriously, you can't even take the story seriously.    … Expand

Far Cry after the second one has always been too consolish for me, but I bought it knowing that would be the case. And it has its fun moments: driving is usually a pleasure. But it suffers more than any video game I've ever played from one fatal syndrome: Its makers don't want to be making a video game. (I could add a couple more: It's makers are apparently French existentialists and quite possibly insane.) Consequently the player is constantly being dragged from a mediocre video game into an Uwe Boll movie. And not one of those Uwe Boll movies that he's proud of and will happily fight you over. No, this is an Uwe Boll movie and that he finished, watched, said "Oh my G-d, what have I done?" and then hid in his basement. The movie- Sorry. The video game fails on every level except for graphics and controls and voice acting. The graphics are pretty. The controls actually work pretty well, although several times I discovered that I had inadvertently exchanged weapons while reviving a companion. The voice acting is good to excellent. The AI is . . . present. Sort of. Overall, there are some things to like.

    But the bad is very, very bad. The writing is absolutely awful; it would make Uwe Boll blush. It's failing film student fan fiction bad. My character has been captured so many times that I must be playing Far Cry: The Perils of Pauline. At one point I was arrowed and captured inside a building crawling with White Tails. The writers have greatly expanded their love of drug effects, so that I spend much of my time not in control of my own body. Cut scenes are long and dull. And most unforgivably, not one single choice I make as a player matters in the slightest. The makers of this game have their ending pre-written, and while it's worse than any SciFi horror movie ever dreamed of being, they're relentlessly driving you to it.

    I am so, so very glad I bought this when it had dropped to a cheap price. Unfortunately I succumbed to buying the bundle, so I have the sequel which I can't imagine I'll ever play. I award it two turds and may G-d guide its makers into rehab.    … Expand

I don't care how many people worked on this game and how much effort they expended--if you guys don't care about the players enough to fix this kind of thing ASAP, you get a 1 (Edit: now a 4, see notes below for adjustments).

    Edit: I would have upgraded this to a 7 or 8 if it were fixed. But it's been weeks now and Ubi still hasn't even claimed to have a fix for it. A patch came out and very few of the big bugs people have reported were fixed. The game is broken and Ubi doesn't care. I'm leaving it as a 1.

    Edit 2: Honestly, I'm not sure I'd even go as high as an 8, even without the bugs. It's just not that great a game. The story is tedious and obvious and very cowardly when it comes to dealing with the actual issues at hand in the subject matter. Horizon Zero Dawn was somewhat criticized for taking their format largely from Far Cry, but honestly, they did it far better, with a much more robust codebase, a far superior and much more detailed and moving story, and just a better experience overall. If you want content like this, but clean and good and produced by people and a company that desperately care about getting things right, play HZD instead.

    Edit 3: I've finished the game. The ending is absolutely terrible. It makes you wish you hadn't bothered. And, in case you've been led to believe otherwise, there's really only one ending. There are three ways the game can end, but only one is really an ending. Don't think you might get a better one. Still, I kinda fell in love with some of the soundtrack, so I'm going to be undeservedly generous and bump this up to a 2, but only because they commissioned some really lovely music.

    Edit 4: Well, it took them five weeks to do it, but they finally fixed the always-midnight bug. I'll up it to a 4. The game deserves about a 6 or 7 on its own merits, but I can't let Ubi get away with such callous disregard for the players who bought their game at launch. I suggest you do not purchase Ubisoft games at launch. You are bound to save money by waiting for a sale, and you'll skip the period in which they seemingly refuse to get off of their a**es to fix the host of bugs they thought were fine to launch with.    … Expand

    Now to start with the many negatives associated with this game...
    - The story is dry, you spend so little time with the characters associated with the region you are currently in that when something happens to them you don't find yourself caring too much.
    - The combat gets repetitive after the first 5 hours because the game tosses you into fights that are extremely similar to past engagements and the buggy AI doesn't make for a tough challenge (Most enemies will run into your bullets or will take cover with their head poking out for you to shoot).
    - The railroad interactions with the antagonists are aggravating since you can't fight back (Jacob's region kidnaps you by hitting you with a sleeping dart that you can't see coming).
    - There is no crafting (which some people may like, but it is a dislike for me because it added to the game), very few guns to buy (only 2 viable AR's, the other AR's are not extremely effective, they are mostly there for "fun").
    - There are so many side quests and side activities thrown at you at once that you are overwhelmed with the amount of fights in front of you that you may feel like you don't know which direction to go.
    - Finally the ending makes you feel like you wasted all your time saving the people of Hope County no matter which decision you make at the end.

    Going round to other region, this suppose to rural folks taking down bunch of mindless cultist turns out to be half baked fantasy, especially confronting Faith seed. Is she really real or just my messed hallucinations?. the story goes bland here.As For Jacob seed, not much as fun but there are few mission (Hurk mission, freeing hostages) as a saving grace.

    The ending. Confronting the root of all evil in the game, Joseph Seed. It it all messed up!. You know what i mean when you complete this part, wasted your 30+ hour journey to hunt him down, regardless your choice, it doesn't really matter, you'll ended become his mindless flock anyway. So best choice is to walk away from very beginning of the game makes you wonder, why i need spend $70 for a game when the best part of the deal completes in 10 minutes?. I would recommend to buy if this game is 90% discount. Till then stay away from this game folks.    … Expand

    The best ending in this game can be achieved by not playing the game, the game doesn't reward you with a good ending for doing things, you have no input into the story even though your MC is mute, the game punishes you for playing it. and then pretends like its smart for making you go down a linear path you can't change.

    Pros:
    - Guns feel satisfying
    - World looks and sounds great - A few interesting side missions Cons: - Story is **** what" category - game aggresively forces you into story, doesn't give a **** about you doing something else - too many enemy spawns everywhere - serious downgrade to detail compared to previous far cry games - bland npcs that you grow to hate for wasting your time    Pros:

    - quest givers keep getting distracted while talking to you by **** everything
    - some horrendeous bugs, day night cycle stuck, quest stuck, saving stuck etc
    - gets repetative and heavily bogged down by doing the same ****
    - It's very one-dimensional compared to previous games
    - this list could probably go on if I had more time to waste on this garbage

    It's the worst Far Cry yet, don't pay for this trash.    … Expand

    Truly boring and repetitive. Surely the worst Far Cry of the whole series, with a stupid AI; graphically mediocre, and with a total absence of physics.

    Easily the worst far cry game.
    Everything is worse: repetitive environment, worse ai, no incentive for animal hunts, forces you to sit back in fights, less mechanics (e.g. no kickable barrels), boring villain, boring map, only 4 enemy types.
    That's just off the top of my head. Compared to every other far cry game, this one is trash. Positives: Guns feel punchy and have a nice sound. The    Easily the worst far cry game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely loved the game but the ending completely ruined it for me. It's like Ubisoft basically took a massive dump right in my mouth. I don't even feel like playing it anymore because the ending is that bad. If you're going to play it do so, just don't complete the campaign.… Expand

    Sadly worst Far Cry experience till date. The story is completely passable, the endings are incredibly disappointing. The whole experience feel like a massive waste of time. There is no character development, there are barely any characters to speak of. All people are bland stereotype goodies/baddies. The Father is dull as heck. The gameplay was also horrible.

There is no character development, there are barely any characters to speak of. All people are bland stereotype goodies/baddies. The Father is dull as heck. The gameplay was also horrible. They've removed the towers but instead the game is choped in to a million pieces almost completely disconnected. The game says everyone will get a unique experience but that's incredibly poorly realized. They've added a whole conditioning mechanism which is an incredibly poor excuse to drive the game forwards. You are messing around, flying, driving, sometimes even in the middle of a mission and the game goes "Well, it's time to cut to black" And you are literally instantly teleported to where you need to be to progress the story. And that happens all the fin time. You just start to enjoy what you are doing and the game teleports you somewhere on a seemingly random place. All characters including you teleport around and do what the story needs them to do regardless of previous occurrences or positioning. They are captured seconds after you've rescued and secured them in a river of blood. It's a nonsensical progression that has been cheeply disguised under something im sure they thing incredibly clever: Drugs and mind conditioning. But thats a game. It's supposed to be a fun joy ride and not "Hyh" moment every time a cut scene starts. Additionally the AI is the worst imaginable, and the game relies overly much on it to progress on some missions. I've failed missions multiple times just because lets say an AI decides to land a chopper on the water and destroys a mission important vehicle. What follows is a reset. The open design now feels restricted. With old Far Cry games most boarders felt natural. It was rare for the game to stop you forcefully and here happens all the time if you move few centimeters away from the bound of the map or the mission to improvise. I love Far Cry 2, 3 and 4. I find them exceptional games. Far Cry Primal is ok, nothing much to rave about. But this game disappointed me so badly. And the progression .... because they know people don't like to do all activities the game is like this time you don't gain experience but we will force you to fish and try to do chain takedowns with the retarded AI or yeah and to use the AI partners if you with to get points. And i can't count the times how many times an partner AI sits face to face with an enemy watching him stupidly and the next second turns around and starts shooting in my position and blowing a near by barrel pretty much killing me instantly, or a vehicle, or just shoots to the bad guys through me. Piece of advice use the animals, they don't drive and are bloody killing machines. I've taken outposts sitting behind the bush and the bear slaughtering everything in sight. So the freedom is disguised with cheap plot devices. The AI is shoved in your face but it's terrible. The story is boring. The setting is bland (no offense fake Montana), and lets not forget OP weapons, i played with 1 sniper and one Rifle from start to end. and the end was running in the middle of firefights shooting from the hip mowing down baddies.

    La jugabilidad ha ido haciéndose más casual para llegar a más público y al final tienes como resurtado un juego de ir de aquí para allá haciendo recados absurdos y una historia principal que no interesa ni te mete dentro del juego. Tu personaje es totalmente aséptico. Vamos, una bazofia de juego que os podéis ahorrar. No perdáis el tiempo... Yo caí por las garras del marketing y las reviews que para nada dicen la verdad.

    En PC en ULTRA a 4K es bonito. Pero nada más. Un mundo vistoso, pero de cartón piedra. Las físicas y efectos visuales han perdido la brillantez que si ofrecieron en Far Cry 2. ¿2018 y la IA y físicas son de lo peor?

    Far Cry 5 is a nice and funny FPS that you’ll enjoy most in co-op. The well-proven concept would deserve a rejuvenation and adding a story that is adequate to the rest of the game. [Issue#285]

    This fresh take on the Far Cry franchise is clearly visible content-wise, but a tad more discrete on the style. If you're not bothered by the slightly repetitive formula, you'll enjoy the many strengths of this episode.

    Far Cry 5 doesn’t propel the series forward — it just refines all of its elements and relegates the infamous towers to the dustbin of history. So if you‘re allergic to open worlds from Ubisoft, don’t say I didn’t warn you. But if you’re eager to meet new wacky characters, complete dozens of missions and enjoy the sights, welcome to Hope County, sinners!
