    It's a lot of fun to play in the open world and the gameplay mechanics are fantastic, but the story kidnaps you and railroads you into a very strange narrative which doesn't really fit all that well with the rest of the gameplay experience.

But then you're kidnapped at several points in the story and railroaded into these serious doom and gloom religious monologues. It's just jarring, tedious, unbelievable and takes control away from the player. And the ending sucks, it completely disregards any choice you've made before the ending and makes the rest of the game more or less irrelevant. And it's not exactly a good ending either. In fact, I disliked the ending so much I didn't even want to continue playing the game afterwards. Out of the 4 main antagonists the one I liked the most was faith, and her corner of the world was also the one I enjoyed the most. The dreams sequences with her, and also how the world became a hallucination, was quite fun so there was some potential here. But overall the story is a big, big let down, Far Cry 3 and Vaas is still the best Far Cry villain and story arc.… Expand

    Far Cry 5 starts with a few promising moments that hint towards a worthwhile experience. Yet the closer the player's journey comes to an end, the clearer the game's unforgivable missteps get.

    I like the open world and it's fun trying to destroy the cult. However I dislike how the story is implemented and how it has forced kidnappings you can't avoid and the game does feel too repetitive. I didn't mind the ending.

    AI companions are stupid of course, often get in your way or step in front of your line of sight. I had a companion step in front of me just as I was firing a rocket which you can guess the outcome of that.

    I hate being forced to use the Ubisoft launcher. The launcher sometimes has problems of often not being able to sync cloud save data or their servers not working. I lost several hours of progress as the cloud save did not sync properly.
    The game does have bugs, I liberated a outpost and a helicopter was spawned inside a building and was levitating and wobbling around clattering against the ceiling which eventually caused it to explode.
    Overall I found the game fun enjoyed it and didn't feel bored playing.    … Expand

    This game is glitchy, and after first boss gets boring. But I like that you have different enemies in other regions. Montana is visually beautiful, but the game didn't amaze me !

    Pretty Bland
    Far Cry 5 is the first numbered game I’ve played in the series since far cry 2… After hearing such great things about this game I thought my experience would be even better since Far Cry 5 would feel so fresh and new to me because I haven’t played 3 or 4.. I wouldn’t have that this is just more of the same kind feeling.. And despite this.. that feeling is    Far Cry 5
    Pretty Bland
    Far Cry 5 is the first numbered game I’ve played in the series since far cry 2…
    After hearing such great things about this game I thought my experience would be even better since Far Cry 5 would feel so fresh and new to me because I haven’t played 3 or 4..
    I wouldn’t have that this is just more of the same kind feeling..
    And despite this.. that feeling is exactly what I got here..
    Far Cry 5 feels like just another bland and boring shooter…
    The game takes play in a fictional hope county Montana USA
    you play as your own created character out to take down Joseph Seed… A cult leader..
    But to get to him in car cry fashion you have to regain control and liberate 3 different territories and take down his 3 siblings….
    You can take them down in and order you’d like.. though the game suggests you start in the south and make your way up, so this is exactly what I did starting with John Seed…
    And by this games roughly 28 hour long campaign you’ll understand exactly why the game suggests you start at the bottom and work your way up..
    John seeds section is easily the strongest part of the game in terms of world building and level design… every area of this section of the map is memorable, it feels worth exploring for its treasures, the side quests feel worth doing…
    And this is the majority of the campaign as well, taking me about 13 hours to clear, and then it’s on top faith seed which took about 10 hours to clear… the world building is miles weaker, but these 10 hours are saved by one of my favorite villains in video game history..
    This was hands down my favorite chunk of the game thanks to how unique her individual missions are as you’re dealing with something called the bliss.. this causes hallucinations, and a creepily charming, seductive and hypnotic crazy girl that we’ve all dated before, and then the final 5 hours of the game is dealing with the mediocre Jacob seed section…
    the world building in the north of this map is mind numbing garbage.. no heart here whatsoever…
    so I’m happy it takes up so little of the campaign time…
    But to get to these story missions you have to bring these characters out.. you have to cause mayhem around the world..
    and this is what far cry fans love about the game…
    liberating posts, destroying property, rescuing characters and animals like cheese burger the bear to call them in to help you during missions, you Can even play through the world co op with friends
    and after you’ve done enough damage you’ll be marked and they will hunt you down and you then have to escape whatever scenario you find yourself in.. sadly, though there are only 3 missions for each character aside from their introduction…
    such a massive disappointment..
    especially with a character such as faith seed..
    it’s a shame how underused she is
    I honestly would’ve preferred if she was the only character in the game, and we were constantly dealing with her tricks and seduction..
    shes so well written,
    sadly this isn’t what we get… I feel that the first chunk if this game is the only section where any of this chaos causing gar cry fans enjoy is any fun
    the faith seed section is saved by the character, but that’s the only redeeming quality.. the world gets more bland as the game goes on
    After I cleared the first part of the map I resorted to just clearing missions with a helicopter.. that’s how little I cared to explore..
    outside of the campaign there is a decently fun arcade mode where you can build your own singpleypalyer, co op, or death match maps using assets from the past far cry games and even games like assassins creed..
    plenty to get creative with..
    but if you’re like me and creating the levels isn’t your thing you can just hop in to play other peoples maps or even have some decently fun competitive play with some alright maps thrown in there…
    there isn’t the call of duty polish here, but I had a decent amount of fun.
    Far Cry 5 has its moments of greatness despite feeling a bit lazy as it goes on.
    this would’ve been a better game had it been smaller and more polished with much more narrative focus
    I know Ubisoft would disagree with such a statement but at the end of the game I think we can all agree
    We need a faith seed game
    I give Far Cry 5

Far Cry 5 ditches the minimap. This made finding things like skinnable carcasses more difficult to locate and I dont believe that it contributed to being immersed in the game. For me, only Boomer worked properly, all the other AI had a lot of issues.The story was straight up **** BORING. in my opinion, ALL the characters were terrbile, ALL the dialogues were dull, unoriginal and full with cliches and overall it was just a bad, poorly written and rushed script. The narrative was as linear as it gets and the choices that the player made didn't seem to hold any value whatsover. Far Cry 3 and 4 both had amazing villains that kept sending chills down the player's spine everytime they had a convresation with the protagonist but now we got a pseudohipster with a man bun that was rather laughable than imposing or menacing. Only the ending came out to be a little unexpected but nothing shocking enough to alter my opinion on the whole of the story. Also, I really enjoyed Far Cry's classic system of activating radio towers and liberating outposts to unlock new areas. I see why the devs decided to try a more open and free approach but it made the story look incoherent. Overall, I had a time fooling aroudn and blowing up stuff and liberating outposts, but I kept rolling my eyes to the very back of my head everytime I listened to a dialogue concerning the main story.… Expand

    Far cry 5 is what I consider to be a great game filled with many flaws. The AI are absolutely brain dead, which is unfortunately typical for Ubisoft titles.

The AI are absolutely brain dead, which is unfortunately typical for Ubisoft titles. The gun play is solid, so many will still garner enjoyment from slaying baddies, even if they are legally retarded. The stealth is super forgiving, which kind of sucks as far as having a challenge goes, but also enables even the most clumsy of pulling off potentially gratifying stealth takeovers.

    The graphics are good, but appear to have little to no improvement over Far cry 4, which I found disappointing. However, for me on a 1070 the game ran flawlessly on 1080p max settings with zero stutters or frame drop outs. The world is incredibly well done, having a very organic, life like feel that's fun to explore. Most side quests actually have engaging characters with unique story lines. Loot locations, which are essentially survivalist bunkers filled with goodies, aren't your typical go fetch this objective. They each have their own little puzzle in order to get inside which often comes with an entertaining mini-plot, which makes completing them a helluva lot more gratifying then what's oft seen in other Ubisoft titles.

    The characters are - well, nuts. Their back stories are horrific and this seems to be both the explanation and justification for their heinous behavior. If you're not a fan of really dark dialogue, you're going to find it way too over the top and unpleasantly disturbing. I personally found it captivating, even if the overall plot didn't really make a whole lot of sense. Since the antagonists are bat sh1t crazy, it's understandable that their motivations don't align well with a rational reality.

    What I didn't care for was the manner in which your main character interacts with the villains. Once you reach a certain point in progression, you just repeatedly get knocked out only to then awaken in the captivity of the cult king pins. This literally happens a dozen times throughout the game and gets repetitive real fast. It seems like a lazy way of progressing the story and gives the main cult leaders an unexplained air of supernatural divinity. In other words, they can do with you whatever they want, whenever they want, but this runs extremely counter to your sense of agency and objective. It's like the entire game wants to keep reminding you that there's really no good reason for you to bother trying since you're just a mere mortal playing hero at the mercy of the gods. I didn't find that narrative to be particularly satisfying, so I mainly tried to ignore it.

    The endings basically reinforce this message of futility. Whereas some will find them commendable, others will find them disappointing. I was personally left with a profound sense of dissatisfaction that really took away from my overall experience of the game, but this appears to be the sentiment Ubisoft was gunning for all along anyways.

    As a final note, your character doesn't talk at all. This is a trope I've disliked in games from the beginning. The Master Chief doesn't talk a whole lot, but you do have a sense of what kind of person he is. Your character in FC5 is just an empty shell, being lead along from one checkpoint to the next, doing little more than observing the show. It makes the character you're playing seem really dense to the point of mindlessness. You're just a powerless pawn doing what the game wants you to do, whether that be good for your character or not. And in the end, whatever choices you appear to have really aren't choices at all. Anarchic nihilism is at the heart of this game's soul. Which is unfortunate considering the vibrancy with which the main characters and open world have.    … Expand

You just relax, when playing this game. Particular when you clear map from religion zealots, map get clear and world become calm, making beautiful yet.

    Game design as always amaze me. Guys working in Ubisoft - you my precious. Make such a land's need try did. Okey, I do stop my compliments and release review. By the way, I take this game on 100%.

    Let's analyze the plot and what is happening in the game. Event's game happen kinda in our time. In County Hope, a fictional region in Montana. In this County captured religion zealots at the head Father (Joseph Seed) and his two brothers and one sister - who calls heralds. Map is split on three part, on every part we have a boss (heralds). You playing for deputy of sheriff, you come in there that restore order. We need clear every land, helping people from resistance and defeat bosses.

    As usually plot is not very good. He is primitive, even main quest. You are Rambo, kill everyone on your way. But i researcher and me just relax walking for world and do as i will. Yes, if you wanna play in game with difficult plot - fc5 isn't your choice.

    Game have a three ends. And three addons. Talking about second, although what we have talking about? I don't play in it all, but I reading a lot of reviews and they all as one proclaim, that addons is **** Don't believe me? Take read yourself.

    Yes, I almost forgot about soundtrack. It's so pretty, particular part with sister of Joseph - Siren.

    'key, what in outcome. In outcome, we have lovely Far Cry, which become still more beautiful, but with not the most delicious filling. Although main antagonists have some charisma.

    Going into Far Cry 5 my main concern was that it would be too similar to Far Cry 3 and 4. And, while it is definitely still a Far Cry game it is certainly different. I must admit, while I enjoyed FC4, it was basically Far Cry 3.5. This game feels like the true next installment in the franchise.
    But HOW IS IT DIFFERENT THOUGH?
    Well first off, no more towers, I mean, they're still in the    Going into Far Cry 5 my main concern was that it would be too similar to Far Cry 3 and 4. And, while it is definitely still a Far Cry game it is certainly different. I must admit, while I enjoyed FC4, it was basically Far Cry 3.5. This game feels like the true next installment in the franchise.
    But HOW IS IT DIFFERENT THOUGH?
    Well first off, no more towers, I mean, they're still in the game but you don't climb them to progress, the only time I found myself climbing towers was in certain missions when I had to disrupt a radio signal or something. Another key difference is the overall progression. Instead of progressing through story quests, in this one you can literally do whatever the hell you want and progress that way. There are three regions in this game that you have to dominate (which are significantly smaller than in the last two games), and you can progress through them by doing side quests and liberating outpost. Just as long as your doing something, your progressing through the story, which is awesome. So you just liberate outposts, do a few missions and help dudes, then once you get to a certain point fight the boss. I personally liked this approach a lot more. Another new thing is the companion system, (friends for hire or something like that), where you help somebody out, then they will stay and fight with you. Each buddy has different traits, like Nick Rye, who has a plane and can bomb dudes, or Cheeseburger, a literal grizzly bear who mauls dudes for you. The game feels like Far Cry, but at the same time, it's something new. You can also beat the game a lot faster than the previous two, taking around 25 hours compared to FC4's 50 or so hours. This may sound like a bad thing, but it keeps you from being burnt out, and after beating the game, you can go back and keep doing stuff in the world. So playing everything this game has to offer could easily get it up to 40 hours or so.
    But IS IT GOOD THOUGH?
    Yes. I had a blast playing this game. The story is pretty decent, and while the villain isn't as compelling and Vaas or Pagan, Joseph Seed is still a worthy antagonist. One problem I had was that you have a silent protagonist, which isn't really bad, it just doesn't really make you feel like your character is interacting with the game world. Gameplay wise, it's also pretty good. There's tons of vehicles in this one, from trucks to planes to boats, and traversing around the world never really felt like a chore, as exploring and stumbling upon new locations was cool. The gunplay is also significantly better than previous entries, just feeling more meaty and satisfying, and requiring some amount of skill, and bullets are now projectile based. The missions in the game also have a ton of variety. While there are still plenty of outposts, the things your doing in the game world feel much more varied, like in one mission I had to kill bulls to retrieve their testicles for the "Testy Festy". Yes I am being serious. I found the little things like this to be pretty unique and an interesting change of pace. Far Cry 5 does so much better than the previous two games and I really think this was a step in the right direction for Ubisoft. Oh and I forgot to mention, it is EXTREMELY well optimized. This game runs better than Far Cry 4, and I was getting over 90 fps constantly on high settings. That doesn't mean it looks bad though, the game is beautiful, with one of the better looking environments in Ubisoft's games. Its not all sunshine and rainbows though.
    But WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
    Well first off, while it is optimized well, the game crashed 4 times during my playthrough. Granted, 4 crashes in 30 hours isn't bad, but they all happened in actual story related moments, causing me to have to play 10 minute sections over again. This wasn't a huge deal though.
    The main problem here is the terrible/unpredictable AI. The AI is absolutely retarded. The AI runs over civilians, civilians run into cars, and the enemies kept on doing weird things that threw off the gameplay. Sometimes when sneaking into outposts, the AI would randomly get spooked when I had not yet been spotted. Other times, the AI would start shooting at an oncoming car and running around, which can completely throw off your stealth run. These little things were genuinely annoying and made when they happened it was a pain in the ass. The crappy AI also made the hired guns practically useless, as they can't be stealthy and just end up running out into the open and dying. The most useful one is probably Nick, because he literally just drops a bomb on one spot, no stealth or real coordination required.
    And finally THE MULTIPLAYER
    It kinda sucks, which is sad seeing how much effort Ubi put into the map creator. There is potential, it just doesn't work.
    Overall, I enjoyed FC5 and would recommend it if your a fan of the series, or if your not I'd say it's worth giving a try, just beware of the AI.    … Expand

    The characters can be great, you have a nearly clear line of good and bad. In a way the bad characters can be observed as also good, depends on how you look at it. There is always an explanation of why the characters are acting in the way they do. We have funny, serious, lovable and broken characters, a good mix.
    Graphics are good and the music is just astounding, even if there are not a lot of songs.

    5. This game lacks of guns. There's only about two proper assault rifles - AR-C and AK-M and those too also aren't so good too.
    6. Those f*****g microtransactions. Although you simply can buy everything with in-game currency, the prices for weapons and cars (boats, planes) skins are insanely high.
    7. No more crafting. Instead of that you have to make lots of stupid challenges to get perk points and with those you can unlock new abilities like extra gun slot, carry more ammo, swim faster, walk silently etc. (sp for example: you wanna get 3 perk points? kill 15 enemies with flamethrower, wanna get another 2 or 3 points? hunt down 3 grizzlies etc...).

    I haven't tried co-op, although I've read lots of forum about how stupid it is, when someone joins friend's game there's no story progression, no guns progression etc... For me Far Cry always been about singleplayer and I still think it's worth buying it. You'll get lots of different quests, great gameplay there's really a lot of doing in this game.

    EDIT: Those gamers who says it's too easy, put difficulty on hard, turn off x-ray vision and indicators as well. Then the gameplay, for example liberating outposts will be pain in the ass, no joke.    … Expand

Но в отличии от великолепной Far cry 3, пятая часть имеет ужасный сюжет и концовки, после прохождения не хочется проходить игру повторно. Теперь место главного героя нам дают манекен, который не имеет ни чувств, не характера. Многие напарники настолько тупые что могут только мешать прохождению, например вы можете сесть на транспорт со стороны пассажира, тогда напарник моментально садится на место водителя и просто сидит, чтобы сесть на место водителя надо выйти из транспорта, сесть со стороны водителя, это очень тормозит игру. Игра очень легкая, нет ни одного момента который нельзя было бы пройти со второго раза, особенно с напарниками. Прокачка очень изменилась и теперь чтобы получить навык надо выполнить определённое действие. Транспорта стало больше, вертолёт выполнен прекрасно, на нём одно удовольствие летать, но самолёты это самый худший транспорт, он очень тяжёлый в управлении, что делает его бесполезным. Микротранзакции в игре присутствуют, они не навязчивые, но они ЕСТЬ в относительно однопользовательской игре. Графика в пятой части на высоте, что даже на средних настройках графики она выглядит сочно, ярко, и свежо. Игру можно порекомендовать тем кто либо не играл в Far cry вообще ил тем кто просто хочет убить время в простой игре со слабым сюжетом.… Expand

I am very disappointed, because almost everything else is great. I felt really relaxed when just liberating outposts, hunting and so on. I also didn't enjoy racing side missions, but there are just few of them, hopefully. It must be emphasised that graphics and audio are really awesome. Weapons customisations is also good. Another important and well done thing is environment. Yes, those forests and animals are superb. And these are the things why I don't regret time I spent with this game. It was so relaxing.… Expand

    Good game, but far from perfect, if you hate repetitiveness in games, you won't like it. By far, one of the best things about the far cry series is its bad guys, and that still applies to far cry 5, the main antagonist are all more developped than the silent main character and all the people that the game considers good guys.

This is of course subjective, some people might like this kind of loop where there is always a lot of markers and huge area to cover just for the sake of completion, but others just want something enjoyable within proportion. But with the huge area of map, there could be several opportunities of variety when it comes to game play, for example, you could stealthily eliminating enemies one by one to take the base, or you could go all out and drive your truck to mow down the cultists, just to be interrupted by a helicopter that you could take down with your grenade launcher. This kind of freedom is mandatory for any open world game and far cry 5 nailed a great job at it.… Expand

ButFirst of all, the game has good optimization and excellent graphics. The magnificent atmosphere of the provincial remote American wilderness, which features farm fields, lake and river wilderness, and mountain ranges. You can rise to a maximum height by helicopter and see almost the entire map of the game. It’s a good idea to work with teammates who can drive as well while you shoot. But their AI doesn’t really "shine with miracles". By the way, the car's auto driving is a little bit crooked but sometimes it was useful. I liked the hunting and fishing, as the searching of different things like lighters and whiskey and the plot justification of that(extremely simple but no needed something more). For more, there were side full-fledged quests and the same caches, each of which had to be opened/found in a new way. Some side quests, by the way, were very interesting and funny. But some were dumb(flat toilet humor). That’s all what I liked in that game... And now the opposite:
    The release of outposts resets the bodies(and it is impossible to collect trophies from them). You can not hide completed quests(It's not new but It would be extremely convenient and I surprised and disappoint that many games ignore this). An extremely poor and not convenient inventory and store(What a fool came up with idea to make mechanics that ammunition you need to buy exclusively all at once?! You need bullets to rifle? - NO! you will buy ammunition to everything).
    Loot system: You pick up a half of it yourself, and a half are grabbed automatically(It’s extremely uncomfortable to think about where you need to press “F”, and where you just run past. Such situations make you "stumble" on looting). Plane flying is critically awful. AWFUL!.
    -Dumb AI(the eagle flies away from its place, enemies freeze in a car or near a tree during an attack, etc.), small bugs like opening companion's window instead of map when you receive new quest.
    Some other broken mechanics(in shallow water you can’t jump or climb the stairs, a scripted parachute - a low jump kills if the activation of the parachute started but did not have time to end).
    A co-op only for the chaos and fun, the Campaign resets the progress of the second player from you when you enter the game next time. Half of the skills are useless(I throw away planning of skills after getting 40% of them).
    And the most heavy sin: Story. An interesting idea is ruined by a tasteless, predictable and crooked script. Just a few things in each region were interesting, and all of them are a battle with the boss of the region. The drama of religion fanatical monologues are the opposite of the anarchy and "meat grinder" that they arrange in game, which kills any sympathy or attempt to understand their motives. It was understandable only for brother-hunter from mountains(Only strongest will survive). The ending of game was potentially interesting and unexpected, but extremely sharp and short. And not interesting from the side of the behavior and conversations of the main enemy at the end.
    A separate dislike of how this plot is basically presented: Each boss catches you 4 times, pushes a fanatical speech and ... let you go. 4 goddamn times. So in general, instead of trying to kill the enemy, you are caught and released 16 times. Seriously?! ...But the most strong fire was when it happened during a new quest. The NPC began to give the quest and during that they turn me off and catch me. It is wretched, stupid and tasteless.

Yes, if you only play the main story and skip every thing else then yes it comes down to 3 underboses which capture you and you have to overcome their torture. But if you're like me and you like to be immersed into a story then you won't call these 3 events from the 3 villains repetitive, you welcome those events with open arms! The cruelty your character has to overcome in these events and cut-scenes are pure gold. And the side-quest are fun and never felt like a grind. Actually the side quest felt really rewarding. Another pro is the world design, the map is big but not too big, I never felt he need to fast travel, not once! It fun to travel on foot or by a vehicle.

    Far Cry 5 is different from other Far Cry games.
    In Far Cry 5, graphics are far far better than the other ones. (I just saw a screenshot of Far Cry 3 and really saw the progress in graphics!)
    The other difference is the story. This time we're not stuck in an island with a psychopath leader. The leader is stuck with psychopath attackers! The biggest difference between this Far Cry and    Far Cry 5 is different from other Far Cry games.

    The biggest difference between this Far Cry and others, is probably their antagonists. Antagonist, Joseph Seed, has really good personality. And as far as game tells us, he was right about all the things he had said. The entire Seed family are characterized really well.
    Another negative point of game is that the main character doesn't speak at all. He just watches things without any reactions. The Junior Deputy is the first mute Protagonist in the entire franchise.
    Despite having same-looking boring missions, the big environment of the game made it look less boring!
    Overally, it's worth to play it for those who are fan of open-world games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. este es un caso interesante pues tiene cosas realmente buenas pero otras muy molestas, empezando por las malas su campaña principal es repetitiva haciéndote hacer casi las mismas cosas una y otra vez en las 3 regiones del juego y creo que este es el punto mas débil de todo el juego ya que al contrario a como debería ser la campaña llega a sentirse incluso pesada pues cada cierto tiempo al avanzar en cada región del mapa te obligara siempre de la misma manera a que hagas una misión de la historia lo cual puede ser molesto si tu solo quieres explorar libremente.
    Ya lo segundo de las cosas malas es que trae muy poca innovación en cuanto a los far cry anteriores no se siente una gran evolución entre la tercera o cuarta entrega de la franquicia.

    Ya dejando de lado lo malo el juego tiene una jugabilidad realmente buena que hace que sea muy entretenido siendo esto de lejos lo mejor del juego y acompañado de mucho contenido por lo que puedes perderte explorando su mundo y encontrando cosas que hacer con la única molestia de que al avanzar mucho una zona el juego mismo obliga a continuar la historia de una manera muy poco sutil.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A fun game with a truly awful script.

    (Spoilers in the latter half of the review, but I give a warning before they appear)

    Pros:
    Realy enjoyable gameplay.
    Amazing graphics.
    Great companion characters.
    The addition of helicopters adds so much to the game.
    The new perk system is very well done and makes progression super fun.
    The DLC is just different enough to be a fun experience.
    Fun hunting activities.

    Cons:
    Repetitive mission design.

    Mediocre AI

    Unfair and poorly executed moments in the story that force the player to lose in-game fights, even if they take no damage.

    The worst writing I have ever seen in any game ever. The stupidity in the script is downright inexcusable. The reality that earplugs exist is a devastating plothole. The script is that weak.

    The review.
    Do you want to single-handedly dismantle a cult? Do you want a game that lets you hunt Bison with a semi-automatic 50 cal sniper rifle for profit? Do you want to be a one-person war machine causing unprecedented mayhem in rural America? Then look no further. This game is for you.
    … Unless you’re really bothered by a bad story and STUPID game mechanics. My biggest gripe with the gameplay is that throughout the main story of Far Cry 5, you are kidnapped constantly. You are a one-man/ one-woman death machine who can swat down gunships like gnats and walk off bear attacks, yet you are constantly being overpowered and kidnapped. I think it happens 9 times. I don't know who designed this “open-world” “sandbox” game, but the point is to allow the player to control their own destiny. To do what they want when they want. Not to randomly be kidnapped in forced, unfair sequences that are literally unbeatable. Every once in a while a “ capture party” will come for you. I, having played this game quite a lot, absolutely decimated several capture parties only to have an arrow spawn out of thin air, knock me out, and initiate a cut scene and a mission sequence I had no interest in participating in. It doesn't matter if you're too good to be captured, the game will force it. It will break your immersion, and become unfair just so you can “experience” the story. Which brings me to my main gripe, the story. It's dumb. It's really dumb. I have never seen a game try to sabotage itself with such an awful story before. I am going to go into spoilers here. If you're not interested in spoilers please stop reading. The reason you're kidnapped constantly is so you can be brainwashed. You're brainwashed so that if you choose the ending where you save your friends and to go get the National Guard, the game can have a shocking ending where you kill all your cop buddies. Wow. Edgy. But this isn't even the worst part, the reason I hate this is that while you were in the process of being brainwashed, it is made very clear to the player that the bad guy who brainwashes you, Jacob, can gain control of your mind by playing a specific song over the loudspeakers/ radio. So, dear reader, I asked you, why doesn’t the main character just invest in a pair of earplugs? Or they could just do what I would do, get a pair of headphones, blare some death metal and wipe out everyone in Jacob's base including Jacob so you don’t have to engage in this nonsense. But no, this is the world of Far Cry 5, where logic can't happen because the ending needs to be shocking. Also after you wipe out the Lieutenant's of the cult, and several hundred of their members, as well as much of their supplies, they magically kidnap all your friends in the end. Why? How? Because reasons. Why put effort into your writing when nonsense endings pay the bills. Oh, by the way, the other ending is that you defeat the main bad guy, he nukes the area, killing all of your friends undoing all the work you’ve done, souring the entire experience of playing the game because it was all for nothing… And the main character becomes his personal slave. Excellent writing yall. There's nothing quite as fun as a dominating everything in sight throughout the entirety of a game just to lose in the final cutscene.

    My rating:
    7.5/10

    (The way I recommend playing this game.)
    Skip all the cutscenes, completely ignore the story, or write your own, and just flat-out refuse to engage in the endings.

    The campaign could have been good but the endings are pretty bad personally. Next, with that being said I really liked playing the rest of the campaign. One final thing that I do not really enjoy about the game is there are a lot of bugs like people hanging out of airplanes when flying and some weird hitboxes on some objects.

I take three and four for amazing games, but unfortunately it is no longer possible to say that with five. So sit down right at the beginning and I'll write you my personal opinion on the game here. Negative okay. The fact that Far Cry does not come up with anything new and has been throwing us the same recipe in the form of a negative for years, and I don't blame ourselves for the best time in the game several times. In my opinion, it belongs to the series and I personally think that it works. But what didn't work out quite well, at least on my part, is the mission system that the developers have switched to here. On the one hand, I commend the authors for the attempt at change, but unfortunately I think for the worse. In previous episodes (except perhaps only two), we had a pretty cinematic game with a strong story, and the game rewarded us with a cut-scene for completed missions. There are also films here, but simply not to the same extent as before. To explain, you come to a place in the game where you talk to a character, and if it was a three or four, the cut-scene would start immediately. But that doesn't happen here, and you can still walk, jump, and shoot while you're talking to a character who gives you the task of walking. Just like you didn't talk to her. In fact, you don't even talk because your character doesn't talk, which makes it almost completely impossible for you to form a relationship with her. I may be too critical here, but personally it bothered me quite a bit when the previous parts were able to draw us into the story so well, and it's just not here. So, from my point of view, this is the biggest minus of the game and now it's just the good thing. So I can reassure you that if you are a fan of the FPS genre as such (which I am) and you are not very interested in the story (which I am interested in at Far Cry), then I think you will be satisfied. There are a lot of weapons in the game and you can create your arsenal with which you will kill your enemies. In addition to sprinkling enemas, an animal partner can also help you. Ubisoft has already tried this technique in Primal and it worked well for me, so it is quite clear that we have the opportunity here as well. But if that's still not enough for you, you can even finish the whole campaign with a friend. This is probably the best thing about the game. You can enjoy the whole parade with a friend and I believe that it will be an oven in two, but I personally played the game myself. Having criticized the game for its lack of cinematicity, I have to praise the passages where you freak out and fall into bliss. The scenes here are often cinematic and it is a pity that this is not the case with the whole play. The whole thing is underlined by the beautiful song "Help Me Faith", which I rank among the best songs from the games ever. In conclusion, I would mention that this is a good game, I just think that if it weren't for the cut-scenes where someone is talking to you without changing the camera angle, or at least your character said something, the game could still be much better. I would recommend the game mainly to Far Cry fans, but also to FPS enthusiasts. Only if you expect a stronger story, you may be disappointed with the game in the final. But if you are not interested in the story and you just want to shoot yourself, then I think you will be satisfied.… Expand

    По сравнению с другими частями Far Cry хочется отметить, что эта часть является упрощенной версии игры. Да, много противников, да, они достаточно умные и в некоторых моментах они могут тебя задавить, но этого не хватает.

Да, много противников, да, они достаточно умные и в некоторых моментах они могут тебя задавить, но этого не хватает.

    Играя за высоком уровне сложности я ни разу не прошел какую-то сюжетную миссию повторно из-за того, что меня реально обыграл нпс. Изредка выбегали ни с того ни с сего бронированные эдемщики в плотную к тебе, которые со своего пулемета могли тебя скосить, но на этом сложности кончаются.

    Не понимаю, почему отказались от идеи охотников. Сложные персонажи, которые помечаются лишь на время и имеют сильную атаку со своим луком. Не понравилось и то, что все сектанты глупо стреляют - я стоял на месте перед машиной сектантов без пулемета, в меня стреляло 2 сектанта, которые не могли меня убить секунд 30, и это все на высоком уровне сложности.

    Если кратенько, могу описать что мне понравилось больше всего:
    - Мне понравилась карта: она интересная, заполненная и живая; животные - частое явление в игре, есть их разнообразие, это несомненно меня радует.

    - Красивая графика, более чем достаточно для игры этого жанра. По сравнению с прошлыми частями, я получал эстетичное удовлетворение, когда находился в горах и когда был в лесу. Красивая структура локаций и биомов (в игре их 4).

    - Музыка. Такая эмпирическая. Описывает время и положение дел на островах.

    - Оружие на любой вкус. Если нравятся снайперки - бери, нравятся ПП - бери, нравятся что-то потяжелее... может быть... огнемет? Бери, конечно же! Радует разнообразие оружий без всяких дополнений.

    - Много транспорта. В этой части, как правильно подметили, больше современных реалий и отражений. Машин много в мире и в игре их также много. Есть побыстрее, а есть помедленнее; есть поменьше, а есть побольше. Добавили вертолеты и самолеты, которыми легко и интересно управлять (мое любое средство передвижения!). Жаль, что вот лодкам внимание не уделили. В игре не было смысла их использовать за исключением парочки миссий, жаль.

    Пожалуй, это все. Если бы расписывал все что понравилось и нет, то на это ушло бы больше 5000 символов. Я отметил основное что мне не понравилось и наоборот.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You as us marshall go to Montana to arrest some cult leader. But since you come with few people you quickly get captured like a fool. It is classic far cry scenario. Storytelling is great but I didn't really care about any of the characters. Endings are questionable.

    You still can't skip the damn cutscenes.

    Finally that "hold e to interact" is gone. You can do most of the actions by just pressing e! Looting animation is also removed, which is a nice change. I was tired of seeing the same animation for every body I loot.

    AI is terrible.

    Not enough weapons and most are copy of each other.

    It is just baseball bat and shovel now. Shovel is fun but still there should've been knives. Takedowns doesn't feel brutal enough.

    Vehicle takedown, for some reason is removed.

    Crafting is removed. You can only sell animal skin. Hunting and crafting is one of the classic far cry things. It is dumbed down here.

    To earn xp you need to kill enemies with certain weapons. I didn't like switching to weapon I don't want to use just to earn xp.

    There is always something happening on the map. You are just roaming and BOOM explosion. Can't relax for 2 minutes.

    Kidnapping gets tiring over time.

    Side missions are empty and not fun to do.

    Stealth mechanics don't work properly.

    Npc's that give you headache until you do their mission still exist.

    Not enough enemy variants.

    These prepper stash missions are really interesting and enjoyable. Hope this carries to fc6.

    Climb radio tower to unlock map is finally removed and I am happy for it. Now you unlock the map just by exploring.

    You can customize cars.

    Actual helicopters and planes are finally here.

    Some animations are faster and gameplay is refined.

    Gunplay is still great.

    If you can ignore the chaos happening behind you it can be relaxing and immersive. Especially when you are fishing.    … Expand

I would give a 10/10 if the missions was nice. But its totally sh*t. And one more thing, THE TEAM MATES ARE RETARD. And arcade is so boring too.

And have to mention any aircraft model controls and behavior, drives me insane, each time I have an aircraft mission :D Wanted to note down the things why I cant give a higher score, as the glitches are obvious. All in all good game with really nice graphics, with couple of unfortunate things. There are no decimals in the score to be able to give, so I’ll be nice and give it 7/10, nothing more is possible :). Thanks.… Expand

He is a mute, nameless, junior deputy that you waste your time customizing his looks at the beginning of the game but you never actually see him because it's an FPS game and the only time you see him is when he dies and the camera pans out. I don't get it when the studios create a mute character with no emotion and create such beautifully crafted NPCs and antagonists with their own amazing accent and drive in the campaign. Joseph Seed and his family are one hell of an antagonist. They are scary psychopaths with their own drive and motivation to get what they want. You are randomly kidnapped by the cult and taken to the Seed family even if you are in the middle of a side mission or near your allies. This gets very frustrating because it happens a lot of times.… Expand

This ending was just up there with Dying Light where the ending was so bad and linear that it ruined the re-playability of the game FC5's endings just felt wrong and contrived and so obvious that they would do it this way that I actually didn't want to do this last leader mission as I knew it would ruin the game.… Expand

You can still finish the quests after the finale, but trust me, you won't want to. I don't, the impetus isn't there without the threat of the boss and his minions hanging over me. Another testament to the "nothing matters" mantra of the game; you don't even want to play it again...

    Cons

    Enemies spawning in front of you to ruin any immersion
    Poorly implemented co-op
    Predictable A.I

    Far Cry 5 isn't a bad game, but it's not exactly groundbreaking or really offering anything new. Basically in a nutshell, if you like Far Cry 3, you'll most likely like this because there really isn't that much difference. The problems that FC5 has right now is exceptionally glitchy physics, the current player deaths I've all suffered so far have all been ragdoll physics bugging out, such as trucks bouncing around the road, or opening a truck to save some hostages and then being knocked high into the sky. The A.I is fairly bad too, almost all peggies will follow a set path or act dimwitted so the player can easily mow down a ton of them or sneak around easily for a takedown attack. The only real difficulty comes from taking down outposts silently and stealthfully for the bonuses, even that isn't so hard once you get a few powerful weapons with suppressors aka a sniper rifle.

    The story, although controversial for some people is quite believable and I'm happy that a publisher finally decided to face religious extremism topics without backing down to SJWs or pressure.

    The co-op feature is unfortunately quite useless unless you have *a lot* of friends who own the game, and are on at the same time. Please don't buy this game if you think you'll enjoy the co-op feature, because it is highly likely you'll never get to play Co-Op at all, this really needs a drop in/drop out system because as is right now, it's useless.

    Another issue is the MicroTransactions system, it is pretty insidious - You can find Silver Bars in safes but they are quite rare, and almost everything in the shop can be purchased with premium currency, even ammo! Ammo is one of the points I want to make a strike against the game, you cannot carry much ammo at all, far far less than previous FC games even with perks you don't get that much ammo, and the real kicker here is that it is expensive to replenish so your forced to conserve ammo as much as possible, and hunt random peggies to steal ammo, or hunt down the prepper caches.

    My biggest concern right now is that even after doing all the current content, all the missions and side content is that I doubt you will have enough money to unlock everything. Another major issue is the enemy spawn rate, I've seen countless times already peggies or animals literally pop up from thin air or from off the side just out of your characters vision arc, just enough to keep wasting your precious ammo.

    Overall, FC5 is above average but it isn't groundbreaking, it isn't as good as previous games simply because of the bugs and the microtransactions. Publishers will need to understand a major fact, for any triple A release these days that has extra MTs for a primarily single player game needs to understand that the ratings will be lower because of that, especially when compared to previous games.    … Expand

It's just gratifying to headshot the enemies, as it always has been in the FC series. But yeah. Same old same old. Oh but they added planes. So...yay? Story...They just copy-pasted everything, even    This is an okay game.

    Story...They just copy-pasted everything, even the stupid joker-like villains. Once was enough. Vaas was enough. The FC 4 and FC 5 heath-ledger-joker-wanna-be villains just make you roll your eyes, groan, and mash the Esc key to skip every cut-scene with them in it. Somehow the story is WORSE and MORE STUPID in FC 5 than it was in FC 3 and FC 4. It's just so, so...stupid. And god, that ending. One of the worst video game endings I've ever seen, no matter what "choice" you pick. Did...did Ubisoft go out of their way to hire a really really STUPID WRITER? I don't know what happened here but my score is so low in no small part due to the INSULTINGLY STUPID PLOT of FC 5. It's not difficult to write a simple backdrop for an FPS game, but somehow they managed to f*** it up, despite a multi-million dollar budget. Did they spend 20 bucks on the writer or something? The story literally almost sapped all the fun out of shooting the virtual bad guys.

    6/10. Okay game.

    UBI needs to mix up the FC formula DRASTICALLY cause it's pretty stale now, and somehow the plots are getting more and more braindead, which is no good.    … Expand

    NPCs talk too much. It's annoying. We can skip but it kills the story. Its 6.

    Far Cry 5 is a good game, but at the same time it is not far from its predecessor Far Cry 3 and in fact has not brought anything new.

    However, I note that the towers were finally removed from the game. Added interactive events and various activities, such as fishing, while walking around the world. Ubisoft has finally abandoned the plot in the style of find and revenge.

    The game is pretty high quality and dynamic firefights with opponents.
    The world is finally gone from the setting of mountains and tropics. Now we move across the plains.

    On the other hand, the plot does not stand out outstanding. Throughout the game, the main events lose their momentum and we get bored. As a result, I could not even get through the game to the end. Really new cool mechanic in the game did not appear. Remains all the same capture outposts. In addition, Far Cry 5 was the first harbinger of the appearance of microtransactions in Ubisoft games.

    Verdict
    The game is not bad, you can play. But it could have been better.    … Expand

    Нормальная игра на один раз, сюжет прямолинейный, звезд с неба не хватает, игра не дает челленжа даже на хардкоре, однако калорит и общая безумность событий более-менее вытягивают повествование.
    Крепкий середнячок.

    O que mais me entristece em relação ao Far Cry 5 é que ele poderia ser muito melhor se tivesse atenção/recursos necessários por parte da Ubisoft.

    A gameplay ainda é divertida, apesar de estar se tornando defasada - no sentido que é mais do mesmo. Não há uma variedade de armas muito grande - e nem precisa. Mesmo jogando na dificuldade Hard, senti uma facilidade imensa, visto que o TTK é baixo demais, e apesar de amar isso em jogos multiplayer, sinto que isso facilita muitos as coisas quando estamos jogando contra uma IA particularmente burra.

    Os gráficos são bonitos e a trilha sonora é muito atraente, porém a otimização é incrivelmente ruim, ou melhor, padrão ubisoft. Em certos momentos, meu fps caia pra 50, mesmo com meu processador na casa dos 30%. Vamos aprender a usar os núcleos/threads, Ubisoft???

    Quanto a historia: É fraca. Um enorme potencial jogado fora. Não aprofundam em nada e possui furos inexplicavelmente escrachados. Os personagens são superficiais e não agregam em nada, os vilões principais não são carismáticos pelo simples fato de que a ubisoft não soube como trabalhar com eles. O final seria muito mais interessante se fosse pouco previsível por parte de referenciais, mas nem isso. Não houve impacto significante nenhum.

    Detalhe: As SideQuests, em suma maioria, são chatas e entediantes, como: Destrua isso, busque aquilo, faça isso. Nunca é algo que verdadeiramente te intriga, como numa side de The Witcher.
    Outra coisa chata é a quantidade de inimigos nas ruas. Serio, você não consegue andar em paz por 5 min. A caça no jogo foi completamente descartada e o ponto anterior corrobora mais ainda pra isso. Também não podemos esquecer do modo que os vilões te capturam. Simplesmente preguiçoso.

    Só vou dar nota 6 porque me senti entretido do inicio ao fim, exceto em raros momentos. Mas esse jogo merecia nota menor.    … Expand

    The far cry formula. You know it by now, and you either love or hate it.
    Cool villain, beautiful open world, 'okay'-feeling weapons.
    The usual.

    Even though this game is filled with bugs, ads, microtransactions, and DLCs I don't care about, I still had a ton of fun outside of that. If those were absent from this game my rating would have been a LOT higher.

    Game is a bit boring. Don't like the way you need to go through story. Graphics are not as good.

    그래픽 좀 개선시키고 등장인물 이름바꾸고 스토리 조금 바꾸는거 말고는 할 줄 모르는 유비. EA처럼 섣부른 변화로 프랜차이즈가 망하는것보다야 낫다지만 새로운 시도를 전혀 하지 않고 매번 산소호흡기만 달아주는 유비가 밉다.

    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!
