    While this game looks amazing (textures etc), this game is supposed to simulate real life, yet the 4 boss's cutscenes/interactions and powers are utterly illogical. So stupid. I cannot appreciate it at all.

    In a nutshell the game is basically like the most recent FC games - same engine and basic system as FC3 / 4 / Primal and runs smooth, but has terrible story progression (forced capture missions are terrible), and an awful ending to the game which makes your accomplishments feel pointless - skip this one. Final Rating: 3 / 10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just replayed FC5 thinking I was too harsh the first time around, and I must have really been distracted to think this game was anything other than complete garbage. The story was a complete zero due to the nonsensical aspects that are passed off as reality (a single nuke takes out the world, or that torturing and murdering is "preparing", or that the US police would have ignored all of it). What destroys it is that it is all for nothing. Everything you did is undone at the end of it, unless you let the murderer continue on, making it all for nothing in a slightly slower manner. This was the worst FC game to date, and most of the other complaints (bad minimap, bugs galore, missions triggering before you even get to the area, getting "captured" multiple times while flying, etc) are all true FIVE YEARS later. Supposedly some of this was fixed in FC6 which I will try next. But FC5 is something I will never play again. FC3 and 4 are FAR better, in almost every way (except graphics, and even then they are passable).… Expand

    I didn't get off to a great start with Far Cry 5, despite being a big fan of 3 and 4. I received the game for free from Ubisoft, then for reasons I do not know, it got linked to my Steam account. 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 didn't get off to a great start with Far Cry 5, despite being a big fan of 3 and 4. I received the game for free from Ubisoft, then for reasons I do not know, it got linked to my Steam account. 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

    Pretty boring open world and not engaging from the start like FC3 and FC4 were. Also, the story missions feel like side missions and the plot is bad as well.

    This game had so much potential, the setting, music and graphics are pretty damn good and its just a shame that its tarnished with putrid story telling, game direction and development.

    Another classic from Ubish**

    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

    One of the worst game i’ve ever played
    The whole story is disappointing. No character development, nothing could catch my eye.
    what i’ve done is roaming on the map aimlessly for 5 hours, and give up.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll be franck.

    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

    I have played FC2, 3 and 4, and I liked them. Although 4 was basically a copy of 3 (like most Ubisoft games), 3 was so good that playing the same game did not bother me.

    I'm not going to talk about the story itself or anything, I kinda liked the intro, but only reached the point where you met with the guy after you escape (No spoilers, it's almost the same in all Far Cry, they don't know any other way on how to start a game) and I had to hit ALT+F4 because I only got 40 FPS on Low 1080p when my computer it's capable of running it on High 60 FPS 1080p.

    Anyone who has played Far Cry 3 knows. The game has no old taste. Cinematic transitions, gameplay and gunfire, nonsense events... I deleted it halfway through the game.Play the game straight, there is no flow order. They just did the graphics. The story is not as good as you think. Those who played the series will agree with me. Just 4 point for graphics.

    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!
