    Repetitive garbage like their last dozen games.

    You'd think they'd work on making good dialogue, filling their open worlds with actual fun things to do, better stories, or even better pacing with the action after they worked out solid gunplay mechanics. Nope, not ubisoft.

    Here's 1 for the decent shooting mechanics. That's all these games ever have.    … Expand

    This game is so damn boring! The AI is some of the worst I have ever seen in a game, it is retarded. Vehicles drive so unrealistically, driving through a rough field is just like diving on a road. The game itself is so simple, no real plot to the game, just go to base, capture base, repeat repeat repeat. I have abandoned it, was just bored out of my mind.

    In spite of the predictable and lavish reviews heaped on Far Cry 5 by the shills in the mainstream media this game is in most respects a disappointment.

    Like so many big budget games and films these days its all top show with nothing of consequence under the hood. On the upside it has heaps of eye candy. Environments, people and weapons are beautifully rendered. It offers a big sandpit of the world to explore too with lots of weapons to use and vehicles to interact with.

    You will probably find the first couple of hours of game play quite enjoyable but if you are anything like me deja vu will set in quite early on. This is a repetitive title where you do the same thing over and over again until you build up enough skills and weapons to take on the "boss" characters.

    This game would have actually benefited from being shorter and having a more linear story. I know a lot of people **** about this but unlike a lot of sword and sandal titles this one simply does not have the variety to take this approach and make it work.

    That said this could have been forgiven were it not for this games biggest shortcomings, it controls. Controls in Far Cry 5 once you stop beyond the basics of movement and weapons is truly truly awful. Some of the worst I have ever seen. It has a clumsy interface that attempts to remove the need for key binding but the interface you access in its place is so complex and hard to use it severely limits game play and is nothing short of an exercise in utter frustration. Its like they looked at Windows 8 and took its very worst interface elements and integrated them into this game.

    In summary this is a repetitive, trudging bore fest, made worse by piss poor horribly counter intuitive interface design and extended controls that no amount of eye candy can fix.

    3/10 from me.    … Expand

    One of the dullest stories in any FPS I've played. Too many characters. The best cutscenes were the ones I could skip. Written to be unoffensive and banal.

    Only played through due to the cool setting - America - and the good gunplay and vehicles.

    Otherwise, the graphics and basic gameplay are normal for FAR CRY. I have played ALL the other FAR CRY games and loved them. This one is a very poor choice of theme by the developers. Unless you happen to identify with brainless hicks, religious cults, mindless things to do, no apparent plot, the endless pushing of Bible crap into your face by the game itself, and music that simply forces you to turn it off or puke...if that's your thing, go for it.    … Expand

    I have a lot of fun, killing cultists and destroying their property. Then out of nowhere, the game ruins it with forced-cinematic that results in me getting kidnapped. This style of storytelling is tedious. I'm really not happy with this experience. I play, and when the forced event occurs, I quit playing the game for a few days.

    ///////////////////////////////////// Story //////////////////////////////////////////
    - **** endings
    - Dump Buddies
    - Lame weapon Variety
    - Death from Above takedown isn't working right , sometimes you get it , sometimes you fall like
    an idiot. how come Far Cry 3 (and 4) don't suffer from the same issue?

    But that's not what I'm mad at, it's the god damn enemy AI that has stupid IQ that doesn't make sense .... AT ALL.
    Yea, it's easy to defeat them bla bla, but when it comes to fully take outpost stealthily it's nearly impossible in this game:
    - Enemy AI seems to be aware if someone was killed by a thowing knife
    - Enemy AI has one ridicilous Eyesight when it comes to detecting you sneaking around.
    They spot you by looking half way to you, they seem to spot you from mere pixels. and some
    suppressors are not good enough from the Enemies high advance hearing skills.
    - They'll know if their buddy's being killed by a suppressored shotgun.
    - One enemy type (VIP CULT GUY) , seems to have for some reason the armor of heavy type,
    even thou he doesn't seem to wear anything remotaly to an ACTUAL ARMOR. he just takes a
    bullet to the head like Nothing
    - I know that I playing on Hard , but sometimes you get spotted after being glared for half a
    second. Why do Far Cry 4 and 3 have better AI than this ****
    That's just the start but I'll stop by saying that your Buddy AI , ironically , seems to be more dump than anyone, it takes them a LOOOONNGGG time to kill a simple target that is standing right next to them

    ///////////////////////////////////// Multiplayer and Map Editor (and coop) //////////////////////////////////////////
    Far Cry Arcade - ........ this is the worst FPS PvP online multiplayer ever created in gaming
    Why ?! well lets state the obvious issues:

    - No default maps / only custom maps created by players.
    This is a critical flaw. Your game has so many mechanics it can mixed and modded by your
    amazing Devs , but you would rather be lazy and let the users do the work for you ?
    Well sadly , if you're looking a BALANCED match in this game, then sadly you'll barely find any.
    The hardest part for me is that I can see the potential from this mode, buts it's wasted and used by a mix of global creators that can create **** matches and decent ones.
    COME ON UBISOFT !! You know you can create some good maps for any1 to have fun ! and by
    that I mean fun in a balanced match.
    - TTK and headshots just don't mix well - You can fire around 20-30 bullets and kill , but luckily shoot once in the head and BANG DROP DEAD ! This is a bad mix of Halo with CS:GO.
    I can't tell you the last time I wasn't killed by a headshot. add up the stupid Aim Down Sights
    feature and you got yourself an abomination of Halo + CS:GO + Cod. don't forget you can
    "stealth kill" if you 360 the enemy faster than he turning around.

    The only good thing about this game is the Coop/Solo feature to play Custom Levels.
    Play custom Outposts to take over , or anything else it's fun as hell.

    //////////////////////// OVERALL /////////////////////////////////////
    I give this game a 6/10
    They're A-LOT of issues I didn't mention , but I believe I pointed out the most critical ones to why this games just falls hard in the ground

    Shame that Far Cry 3 , is still the best.
    - Amazing Simple player and story mode
    - AI with Common sence !!!
    - A good multiplayer
    - A Fully established Coop mode with it's personal story. - Oh , I forgot about this, better weaponry !!!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first time I stopped playing a game with nice gameplay because of the story. The endless kidnappings, cliches and making the player do stupid stuff basically feels like a big f*ck you to the players from the writers. Running around Montana is fun but then suddenly you get magically kidnapped so you can sit tied to a chair and listen to a baddie ramble on for 10 minutes. And that happens around 10 times in the game. I would alt+f4 when a kidnapping sequence was starting because I couldn't handle it.

    I think the Far cry franchise have gone downhill. Every game is the same both with gameplay and story. The only noticeable changes are that you can now throw shovels, sticks and pipes. That you are playing in america and that the bugs are worse than ever before.

    The only enjoyment i got from this game was by playing with some friends.

    So don't play this alone if you can.

    Does it exist? In a sense that it understand it has to entertain player?
    Enemy shooting at wall, driving into wall, animal walking on wall (isn't that a bug?)
    Spawning difficulty is also issue. Enemy can spawn in house where you just clear a second ago.

    Gameplay:
    Same old Far Cry, open world, etc. not much to talk about. We got new location ok?

    Story:
    It follow Far Cry 4 story style. Best ending is when you do nothing at the start of the game, the other ending never end 'good' for you. And the ending make no conclusion or event a little sense, the whole game feel like a prolong of something after the ending. It also suffer a lot from 'cutscene' syndrome where player turn into helpless dude or suddenly lost his intelligent and nolonger function as a reasonable human being. (think Dying Light's cutscene)

    Character:
    Great villian as always (although many 'cutscenes' kill a lot of immersion).

    Ubisoft thinks that they've hit the secret formula with Far Cry 3 and now both Far Cry and AC series feel the same. Not only that they cling to medicore formula they've even downgraded stuff like sound of guns is worse than in FC3, very boring and souless game that is simple as if they're assuming that average gamer has 70IQ form Ubisoft, this is one is not exception.

Especially when game smashes you in the face with 30 minutes non-stop cutscene at the very start, i think i will need anger management therapy after this game.

    Now the thing other people will praise you about: the combat. **** lies, it is sub-par, i repeat subpar. I have played 15+ year old fps games that felt better when shooting something. You just dont feel the reaction and consequence of firing, its weak. Enemy AI is just **** taking cover etc has absolutely has no effect on how often enemy hits you. They just periodically damage you, whether you only show a pinky or just stand still like a cabbage on a field. Combat is so horribly made, there is literally no skill involved. Being an average shooter will be only a little different than being a great shot.

    There is only 1 area where game is good, that is as usual with AAA titles, the graphics. And thats how these companies lure you, in order to con you into thinking this is a beautiful great game. And it is beautiful looking, but also empty and meaningless. Save your dollars, buy some other game. Noone should play this crap.

Numerous times you lose control of your character and forced into various scenarios and cut-scenes. The missions are boring, uninspired, and just not fun or satisfying or rewarding. Often forced into contrived rushing, due to some mission that you have to "hurry up!" and complete. Overall the game is incredibly repetitive and bland.

The theme - redneck craziness - is fun, but the "story" is just a mess. You constantly get kidnapped when you're in the middle of doing something else, but that's not the worst part...

    The worst part is the same as every other Far Cry game so far: you get brutal villains who do terrible things to you, and who you desperately want to kill. You can explode, burn and mutilate anyone else in the game, but not the boss villains. No, you always get some B.S. quicktime event where you go through a long boss-battle, and once it's played out, you get a long speech from the villain who tells you endlessly how much they hate you and how wrong you were to kill them. Then, they cough a bit and simply lay back and die quietly. It's the most unsatisfying boss deaths in the history of gaming. You never get the satisfaction of really killing them - the game does it for you through unstoppable cut-scenes. No spoilers, but I guarantee YOU WILL HATE THE ENDING. Remember, I warned you! Boycott this trash, or buy only when it's heavily discounted, or best of all, just play FC4 again. It's a much better game than this is. This is just a straight-up cash-grab.    … Expand

    tl;dr: this game has, I believe, 10 or so missions where you are captured by a script and brought to a "boss". This is the worst scripting I ever encountered in a video game.
    Also you are f*ed in the end no matter what you do.
    If it wasn't for the retarded plot, it would be a decent shooter, although repetitive.

However, if you changed the difficulty to hard in the first minutes, it will take one or two bullets to kill you after the game drains your health on purpose. You will be constantly using med packs as enemies kill you instantly. My FC5 experience started off with a brief mission that I needed to try at least 8 times. After that, expect to be killed almost instantly by flamethrowers. No matter how well you did in FC4, expect to play with medium or easy difficulty. You won't be able to complete the missions with a bow this time. As soon as you shoot someone, enemies magically know where you are and will rush at you.

    There is no minimap, so you will most likely wander around with no real purpose, wondering what you're supposed to do. The enemy presence is absolutely insane. If you walk on the road, expect a truck full of enemies to drive by you every 10 seconds. I'm not having fun with FC5 at all. If you enjoyed FC4 like I did, keep playing FC4.    … Expand

    I think the Far Cry 5 is decent game but after playing it for while it starts to get rather tedious since i cannot help but to notice similiar types of setups from previous far cry games.

    Far Cry 5 has new world, new main quest and side quests and the world feels quite lively at times now that things are happening around you all the time.

    But if you are familiar with the francise you pretty much have understanding what you are gonna have to do in this game, same old same old. There still is tower climing involved, but this time they are not there for sakes of scanning the map, but for side quest persey.

    Biggest complaint with Ubisoft this time around is that i've ordered mondo edition package for pc which comes with a vinyl which was pretty cool. But there was no option for a physical copy for the pc orders, so the mondo box for pc came with a vinybox (Vinyl inside) and a empty steelbox (no map, manual or cd inside). It seems though i didnt get my moneys worth from this order.

    What kind of practice is this? If everything goes towards digital, do you just send empty collector boxes overseas!?

    5. all npc's when you punch them they die, why don't you make is a random generated strength that some die instantly and others are much more problem to deal with and some fall and run away, some pretend to die and then come after you, some try to grab your gun/rifle and a fight scene happens! or they come from behind (one or a group) whenever this is possible (don't be boring!!!)

    Maybe the only positive things about the game is that it looks amazing and the voice acting is very good.
    The non-linear story makes everything seem so generic and repetitive and the flow of things on each region identical to one another. Some parts of the story are straight out of science fiction books and the best way Ubisoft knows how to raise the difficulty is to make enemies bullet sponges and throw any common sense out of the window. The game's ending goes WTF all the way and makes no sense at all. Again they defy logic just for that unexpected factor.
    Borrow this games from a friend, rent it or wait for a big sale but don't waste your money on the full price.

    While I did not encounter game breaking bugs there were quite a few like car hitting dead wolf and flying into the air, a very strange experience with a plane twerking in the air, teleporting instantly on the ground than taking off directly with no speed gain required, mission objective not being completed properly.

    I couldn't find ways to do much stealth. I think more experienced players learn ways to do more stealth, since you are rewarded for killing all the enemies at an outpost without sounding an alarm.

    NO LEAS ESTO SI NO TE HAS PASADO EL JUEGO
    Vamos a ver por donde empiezo porque madre mía que desesperación.

    Cosas Buenas:
    - Buena Optimización
    - Pocos bugs por no decir ninguno al menos basándome en mi experiencia
    - Gráficos realmente bonitos y bien integrados en el ambiente
    - Buena Jugabilidad (Controles de movimiento, eliminaciones, fluidez...)

    Cosas Malas
    - El juego empieza realmente bien y fuerte, a partir de los primeros 20 minutos se puede sacar una muy buena conclusión del título pero cuando superas la primera media hora el juego va decayendo en la mayoría de sus aspectos narrativos. Te presentan más o menos a la familia Seed pero realmente al único que te entran ganas de partirle la cara es a Joseph, más que nada por que es aquel que tiene más peso en el juego y es el que maneja el cotarro basicamente. Pero en general el juego no genera ninguna conexión entre el jugador (el cual no habla) y los personajes importantes que tienes que matar y realmente te explican muy poco el porqué han decidido montar la secta (los personajes no tienen ningún tipo de trasfondo sobre el que se puedan apoyar narrativamente y eso hace que como jugador te interese menos todo en general).

    - Así como el juego tiene un buen comienzo no se puede decir lo mismo del final. Hay 2 finales disponibles (más el que hay secreto a los 10 minutos de juego) a cada cual peor que te dejan muy mal sabor de boca. Llega un punto en que Joseph Seed te da a elegir entre marcharte o resistirte. El final donde te marchas es simplemente eso, llegas a su complejo donde te esperas una misión final realmente espectacular (como lo han sido FC4 Y FC3) y te encuentras que simplemente coges y tiras por la borda todo lo que has hecho durante el juego y te piras sin más, si vuelves a cargar la partida no puedes continuar con lo de antes si no que es como si todavía no hubieras jugado el final. SI decides resistir, la misión se vuelve bastante interesante y te esperas algo decente cuando detienes a Joseph, incluso cuando estallan las bombas nucleares (de las cuales no te dicen nada en todo el juego) y tienes que conducir hasta el búnker el gameplay se vuelve entretenido y piensas que va a ser la hostia pero el final es una mierda como un castillo. Resumen rápido: Explota todo, Joseph vive y te ata a una cama y ahí se acaba, luego vuelves a entrar a la partida y esta todo muy verde y muy bonito como si no hubiera pasado absolutamente nada.

    - He jugado a muchos juegos a lo largo de mi vida incluida TODA la saga Far Cry (Far Cry 3 es mi juego favorito) y nunca había visto una historia tan desestructurada con un final tan mal hecho. Tampoco estoy pidiendo que te escriba el guión del juego Shakespeare pero creo que cualquiera podría haber hecho algo un poquillo mejor.

    - Si miramos a la saga Far Cry des de sus inicios no vemos que sus juegos tengan historias muy profundas pero si coherentes y algo lineales que es al final lo que capta al jugador y lo hace ponerse en situación.

    - Ya desviándome del tema de la historia cabe mencionar que aunque el juego sigue una estructura diferente en cuanto a exploración y avance de niveles respecto a anteriores entregas la verdad es que no se han molestado en cambiar mucha cosa (que es algo que tampoco veo del todo mal si al menos hubieran ideado una historia decente tendrían escusa).

    - La IA sigue siendo made in ubisoft madre mía que destrozo, creo que al respecto no hay nada más que añadir, no se han dignado a hacer una buena IA des de FC3 que era de los pocos aspectos donde flaqueaba y podían mejorar.

    En conclusión, creo que el juego tenía muchísimo potencial ya que la premisa de la secta era muy interesante, sobretodo si la hubiéramos podido ver des de dentro, pero creo que Ubi se ha cargado definitivamente una de las sagas más emblemáticas de los videojuegos (una de mis favoritas, precisamente por eso me da más rabia), simplemente marcándose una "definition of insanity", haciendo el juego lo más repetitivo posible y llevando la historia a un sinsentido total. Realmente me he llevado una decepción, pero creo que estaba preparado para este fiasco des de el final de AC Origins, que fue malo, pero al menos el juego estaba muy bien hecho en general. Pero este Far Cry 5 flaquea en la mayoría de los aspectos en los que brillaban sus predecesores (menos Far Cry Primal). Si realmente este es el último juego de la franquicia como ponía en Uplay, creo que la han cerrado de la peor manera posible y si quieren sacar otro Far Cry que se tiren al menos un buen tiempo desarrollándolo como pasó entre FC2 Y FC3, que salió un juegazo.    … Expand

    the multiplayer is worst. You are Forced to find people in order to play Co-op. theres no matchmaking system nothing. Ubisoft support will even tell u to go on forum and reddits to find ppl to play with.

    Multiplayer only offers Team Death Match which is **** you can't see these things until you actually got the game. and arcade is boring as hell because of this. beware!

    also the map editor, you cannot add enemies from Far cry 3 etc. EG Crocodiles, you can only add corpses which is stupid    … Expand

    Same game as far cry 4, lack of innovation and ideas, less interesting history.

    I ONLY purchased the game to play with a friend and I can't because of the snowshoe error that everyone has.

    I contacted 3 TIMES Ubisoft support and spend around 4 HOURS trying to fix it without success.

    Stay way from this crapp.

    Ubisoft, stop making open worlds. Yours are boring and lifeless. Only filled with unaceptable fedex quests and a poor storyline.
    The gameplay here makes no sense at all. Fights are either too easy or impossible because you have almost a entire army against you. You need to use the NPC to fight with you. Yes, worst idea ever.

Every enemy acts the same, the blood effect is so bad, there' no blood in the floor once the enemy is down. Pathetic world design, unrealistic weapons, and to think far cry 2 (a 10 years old game) is way better than 5 and more realistic. Shame on you **** again the same open world boring crap, no thanks.

    por mais que o jogo traga inovações na jogabilidade ele peca na historia e o protagonista que basicamente não tem voz nome e não existe! nesse far cry foi retirada a mecânica de torres de radio para liberar o minimapa o sistema de pesca pode ser ate divertido mas o jogo não tem uma historia marcante como os jogos anteriores.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worst Far Cry, maybe even worse than Primal.
    The good part first: The map. Its a very beautiful map set in the US-State Montana with a mountainous landscape and rivers drawing a pretty scenery. If you climb up on mountains you can hear the wind whistle and sitting at the river fishing some fish with your dog ''Boomer'' can be very relaxing also. That being said;

    There are over 6 hours of cut scenes most of them forced some of them unskippable. The characters are unrecognizable and talk way too long while the main character (the one you play as) doesn't say a single word . The entire game. They ruined my favorite game series with micro transactions and just dry game play. The stealth has become a little more realistic which means its absolutely no fun since the enemies detect you way too fast even on the easiest difficulty. Far Cry 3 and 4 both had very distinguishable enemies and allies (blue and red) which means its alot easier to tell who to shoot and who to spare. In this game the enemies wear dark colors and so do your allies. While the previous Far Cry's implemented drugs in a sort of comedic and funny way, this game puts you constantly on a drug called the Bliss. Just sitting at a river for example cant be peaceful for on minute because you get detected and shot immediately. Ubisoft also left the knockdown mechanic in the game, which means if you get too close to an enemy they will knock you down to the ground all the time while you got shot. Ubisoft was also too daft to add a function that a dog can sit next to you in a car (just saying GTA 5 is now 7 years old and they were smart enough to know that dogs can sit in a car). The game spends wayyy to much time building up the villain (showing cut scenes of them killing people for example), and when you finally get to kill them its just another cut scene of them giving a horribly written and voice acted speech and then dying. The forced cut scenes and fillers are probably what makes this game absolutely horrid. If you gain aq certain amount of points by freeing a hostage i.e. you will be forced into a cut scene where you're captured in some sort of camp and escape miraculously. 9 times. The fillers are for example opening vault doors. You have to open like 10 vault doors in one mission to get out. The Problem here is that there is a wheel you have to spin to open in which takes like 20 seconds to do. They completely removed the need for hunting since everything is bought now. Also why is there different types of fish with individual weights but they all sell for the same value? Its pointless to go for the more challenging ones since you always get 100$ no matter how heavy or rare they are.

    This game is pretty much GRW with Far Cry in the title
    -Bullet Drop
    -Taking out smaller villains to get to the big one
    -AI companions
    -Micro transactions
    -Skins
    -Main Character doesn't really have a name
    -Helicopters with horrible controls and physics
    -Spawn points for cars
    -No crafting system, everything is bought (which also means hunting is absolutely useless
    -Different regions

Also annoying sounds each time joining a match beside each time you die you need to choice a loadut which is decided by map maker.

    Also Multiplayer "Arcade" stuck with Single Player Campaign. You need to improve your character throught in Single Player. Too many people actually expecting Multiplayer more than Singleplayer.

    In some ways better than Farcry 3 or 4, probably not as good as 2, it's a mixture of extreme good and extreme bad. The graphics, setting, and sound are all great. The gameplay mechanics are generally solid, and the missions and characters pretty interesting. You really do feel like you are skulking through the Montana wilderness, fighting a crazed cult.

    On the other hand, the AI is pretty terrible. And I mean you will encounter a least a couple of times where the AI will screw up whatever mission you are on. Also, you can play the game stealthy, but for the major cutscenes and sequences, you will all the sudden be grabbed and shoved onto rails. Plus, the storyline is actually terrible, and the ending a huge disappointment. In summary, playing the game and doing missions and quests can be fun, but eventually you will have to complete parts of the story, and those parts of the game SUCK.    … Expand

    Probably the worst Far Cry since Far Cry 3, this is basically a dumb down version of Far Cry 4, they remove towers that to some people were annoying for others were fun little puzzles, they reduce the amount of random missions, and for some reason they remove the wide variety of weapons, it's pathetic the amount of weapons you have, snipers are basically the same ARs with sniper scopes,Probably the worst Far Cry since Far Cry 3, this is basically a dumb down version of Far Cry 4, they remove towers that to some people were annoying for others were fun little puzzles, they reduce the amount of random missions, and for some reason they remove the wide variety of weapons, it's pathetic the amount of weapons you have, snipers are basically the same ARs with sniper scopes, other weapons are more expensive just for the skins, you have 2 choices, an M4 or an AK and its variations, extremely lame. The story is interesting, however not the best, the gameplay is aimed to more casual players, and this is concerning because this is already a very casual franchise that has never been characterized for its difficulty, with this installment they went full retard in terms of how easy the game is, even in hard is super easy to beat because the AI is so dumb. Outposts are way less challenging than previous entries and the skill tree was merged and now your progression is based on achievements instead of gaining experience like any other RPG, the choices you have on your skill tree are simple and boring, they remove so many interesting options and merged certain skills into one, like chained take down, drop down take down and such. There is no reason to save money to buy vehicles, because the helicopters and cars are just skins of the ones you get for free. At one point the only reason you save money is to save for ammo and health packs. The fauna is boring, you have lots of different animals but there is no point to hunt them other than to sell their skins for more money, and like I said, money is only used for ammo or health later on. The game is so pathetic you can just save and buy the best sniper from the first area, and you are good to go, a silence sniper is super OP considering how stupid the enemies are. Everything you loved from Far Cry 3 and 4 is gone in here or has been dumb down. The graphics are beautiful and the place they picked is amazing however the gameplay killed this, they missed a big opportunity with this location, is amazing that a game set in United States has little to no weapon variety, absolutely ridiculous from Ubisoft, and the DLCs are just terrible, simply terrible. If you want this game, just wait for a sale because is not worth $60 dollars, it might be a mediocre FPS open world game, but a terrible Far Cry.… Expand

    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

    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!
