    LOL these reviews are hilariously terrible... (and why metacritic user scores SUCK). This is a solid, incredibly fun game. Not sure what to say. I'm over 40 hours in and still have a lot to go, but I'm having a dang blast.

    I usually choose a helicopter pilot and the plane pilot as my companions. Death from above while I take 'em out on the ground. There are so many different ways to lay

    An engaging plot that avoids the usual purple-hair clichés. Well-developed NPCs with real character. A beautiful open-world that encourages skipping through the woods picking herbs and killing bears - just like the glory days of Skyrim. A well thought-out PC interface rather than the usual FisherPrice console ports.

    FC5 feels like a breath of fresh air after a glut of crappy

    They forgot to add physics. What happened in the last 10 years? How is it possible FC2 has better physics than 2018 game?! Only if HD textures made a good game. Alas no. That's consolisation for you.

    I think the people complaining either A) haven't given it enough of a chance B) just hate Ubisoft no matter what or C) Aren't FC fans in general... I have been into gaming my whole life (I'm 36 now) and I am pretty honest when it comes to game reviews but in this case I have no idea where the bad reviews are coming from.

    I agree with the critic that said this was Ubisoft's best game ever. It's DEFINITELY the best out of the FC series. It's like if you took everything good about Far Cry and shook it up with a bit of GTA5. I mean GTA5 is incredible and epic (almost flawless?) and pretty much in a class of its own but I see nods in this game for sure. No game has torn me away from PUBG since it was in early pre-release and this one did it! It was obvious that Ubisoft took consumer feedback into consideration in every step of this game. No more climbing towers!

    DUNIA looks amazing and barely uses any space with such a huge game, the graphics are on point, it's clearly been optimized for both the red and green team. I mean from day 1 I haven't experienced any glitches or crashes... That might even be a first with Ubisoft?

    The only downside is yes, the plot falls flat a bit at times but some of the script writing and voice acting is just over the rails hilarious (in a good way). The game has me saying WTF an awful lot! The progression system is good - you play for weapon unlocks, perk rewards and cash. Cash can buy you weapons, vehicles, and other miscellaneous (like fly fishing rods!) items early if you bank enough. There are micro-transactions but they are kinda in the background and totally not necessary to use which is how it should be. There are lots of attachments for the vast array of weapons. Overall I am really impressed!!

    This game is loads of fun, lots to do in the game world. Theres an added quality to the far cry francise just makes the game feel fresh again. Im Spending loads of time on this game its quite addictive and thats just doing free roam and side quests. Only done a few missions so far.
    The begging opening scenematics of the game intro is fantastic, really can't fault that.

    [Giving this game a 10 instead of the deserved 9, to counter all the know-nothing haters]

    I'm 50 hours into the game, and I'd say I'm about 60% into the campaign, with a LOT more to do beyond that. I'm going to play the game for at least 100 more. Here's why. Simply walking in Hope County is AMAZING. The level of immersion, the beautiful surrounding, the living and breathing
    [Giving this game a 10 instead of the deserved 9, to counter all the know-nothing haters]

    I'm 50 hours into the game, and I'd say I'm about 60% into the campaign, with a LOT more to do beyond that. I'm going to play the game for at least 100 more. Here's why.

    Simply walking in Hope County is AMAZING. The level of immersion, the beautiful surrounding, the living and breathing environment is everything I could have hoped for within an open world game. I'm even enjoying fishing, which I thought I wouldn't care for.

    There's plenty to be done, but I think the best way to do it is to just stroll around the map, reach places you haven't been before, and tackle the nearest objective - be it a prepper stash looking to be uncovered, a cult outpost to liberate, a story mission or just the occasional civilian that's about to be killed unless you save them. This is immersion at its best, and the design decisions Ubisoft had made into the game are nothing short of spectacular.

    There are a few cons to the game, however, which is why I mentioned it deserves a 9. First of all, the story lacks the depth I would expect from such a setting; There's no emotional attachment to any of the characters - not really; And there are quite a few bugs - some graphics glitches and some audio problems around your guns for hire talking between them. But despite all that, I'm having a total blast.

    I found many of the hating comments so hilarious that I have to react -
    1. "This is like Far Cry N" - DUH. What did you expect? To get Uncharted 4? If you don't like the Far Cry franchise, don't buy this game. It's better than the rest of them in terms of how the open world is set, and it's worse than some of them in terms of story. That's all.
    2. "Game is too easy" - I don't find it extremely easy on the Hard difficulty, but this isn't Dark Souls. This is not the same genre, simply put.
    3. "There's no direction" - Unbelievable. This is not CoD. This is an open world game. The whole idea is not to have a direction, but to make your own story.

    I could go on and on, but this is ridiculous. You should buy this game - it's awesome. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going back to ruining Joseph Seed's day.

    Cannnot believe the user reviews I am reading here. I had so much fun exploring the countryside, siding with bears, climbing mountains, exploring dozens of mini stories. I played 42 hours and enjoyed every minute of it. Graphics are great, gunplay is solid and the world very immersive. The story is not as cool as FC3 but still enjoyable, especially the ending.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a shame that people don't understand the deeper meaning of this game's magnificent storyline. It puts the whole world in another perspective. A perspective that we in the real world should consider could actually be for the better. As it's maybe how it always was supposed to be before we created what earth is today. A place we created, soon a place we destroyed. Joseph was actually trying to do the right thing. The thing no one dares to do or speak loud about. He was trying to save the human race from ourselves. Don't get me wrong, I'm not insane. But life is precious and I'm not sure we have as much time as we think we have left to appreciate this beautiful gift we've been given. Because in the end, we will all die under the same feet of our own race. Just because we didn't have faith in each other. And of the cause, the ending is supposed to hit you this way. It's simply there to make you feel stupid because all the effort you went through with killing endless amount of people who actually just tried to save us from extinction is surely something that goes against ''gods will''. Cause, in the end, Joseph turns out as the good guy when he offers redemption ''in the eyes of god'' from our sins we've made throughout the whole game. This is clearly why there's no good ending. Cause why should there be a good ending when we were the bad guys all along? Expand

    This game is amazing. I don't really get all the negative Reviews. As for the criticism I agree that the AI can be improved and storywise it might have been better to stick to a named character...

    Other than that FarCry 5 is an absolute blast to play. The shooting mechanics have been changed massively compared to the previous games. Weapon ballistics make the game much more realistic

    Other than that FarCry 5 is an absolute blast to play. The shooting mechanics have been changed massively compared to the previous games. Weapon ballistics make the game much more realistic and the gunplay way more satisfying. This in combination with the improved hunting mechanics alone allowed me to enjoy hours of roaming in the gorgeous setting of Hope County, Montana without following the main quest.

    There is a lot of stuff to do in the campaign and in my opinion the story and side missions are quite varied and fun. I really enjoy the new exploration focus and the removal of the minimap.

    Visually this must be one of the best looking games that I've played lately.

    Buying Far Cry, you always know what you get - a quality shooter in a beautiful open world with a simple storyline and a colorful villain.

The games of the series have not changed much since the time of Far Cry 2, but they are selling perfectly. Players are happy with everything - in the general mass only a few with each new part are indignant that one Far Cry from the other is supposedly not distinguish. Games are really similar, it's logical, the series has its own niche, even its genre, in which there is no competition today. Therefore, I will not again raspinatsya on this topic, and I will not reduce the Far Cry 5 assessment for the fact that it is similar to Far Cry 4. I'd rather focus on what is good and new in the game. This time we go to Hope County, Montana - the northern state on the border with Canada. A picturesque peaceful place with clear lakes, dazzlingly beautiful mountains and forests. Here there are plenty of wild places where time flows slowly, and people live a simple village life. But, of course, with the typical American features: checkered sleeveless jackets, crumpled baseball caps, shotguns in pickup trucks and oversized patriotism in the heads.

    Visual coloring Far Cry 5 works on the top ten. The nature of virtual Montana hits the heart - this is one of the most beautiful games this year, and in our time it's hard to surprise the picture. It is pointless to describe this. Mountain rivers, wheat fields and impenetrable coniferous forests are perfectly combined with well-maintained farms, pastures and tiny towns, creating an incredibly cozy, warm atmosphere. Even despite the GTA-chaos.

    And it's not so much in technology, as in the scrupulous manual work of the authors of the game - for all these years Ubisoft still got a hand and learned how to make worthy, sticky open worlds. The finest elaboration here in everything - from natural species, to interiors and the installation of street lamps. Far Cry 5 is very nice to watch. Always. It's nice to listen to it, because the game performed perfectly on three sides: an excellent sound design, an excellent original soundtrack from Dan Romer and a crazy selection of licensed tracks - the best punk playlist in games since the times, probably FlatOut 2.

    Literally one of the most fun games I've ever played. Best co-op game ever created. If you have a friend to play with, then buy this game. I have played it multiple times with the same friend. It is a very funny game with awesome themes of America and liberty.

    One of the best games i've ever played. I love story and Seed family is interesting. Faith is my favorite villain in this game. Graphics is the best. So much better than in overrated GTA V! I love modern ubisoft open world games. It's the best. Far Cry 5 for this day september 2021 is the best in frachise.

Интерфейса намного меньше(мне так больше нравится). Оптимизацию, на удивление, завезли. Открытый мир большой и интересный. Эта часть имеет совершенно полностью переработанные все аспекты. Концовка меня вообще поразила (Иосиф был прав, коллапс настал). Единственный минус, который я нашёл - то, что вырезали эффектное добивание с пронзанием врага насквозь, которое было в предыдущих частях. Офигенная игра. Expand

Es steht einem auch total frei wie man das Spiel spielt, es gibt keine Stealth oder All-In Vorgaben, man kann es immer machen wie man möchte und muss auch keine Angst haben, dass man deswegen keine Kapazitätserweiterungen durch Herausforderungen verpasst, das gibt es zum Glück nicht mehr.

    Zudem freut es mich sehr, dass man nicht mehr gezwungen wird Tiere zu jagen oder zu Fischen um Waffen / Werkzeuge / Erweiterungen freizuschalten. Pflanzen sind schwerer zu entdecken, ist aber auch nicht wichtig, es gibt Säcke und Kisten in denen sie auch enthalten sind, bin eigentlich immer voll damit. Zudem kann man von jeder 15 Stück tragen, dadurch kann man sich auch alle vier Buffs immer komplett herstellen. Materialmanagement und Sammel-/Droprate zu 100% verbessert, so ist es perfekt!
    Es gibt genug Skillpunkte, die Begleiter sind cool, die Menü´s sind super, viele Fahrzeuge, ich habe nichts auszusetzen!

    Die Map ist in 5 Gebiete unterteilt, drei Große von je einem der Kindern des Vaters von denen man jeweils eine Fortschrittleiste des Gebiets volllevelt und dann irgendwann eingefangen, betäubt, etc. wird und dann erstmal in eine Story-Szene anschaut, auch mal ein neues freshes System, top ausgedacht und umgesetzt!

    Das erste Spiel in dem ich ein Neues Spiel + gemacht habe!

    I've tried far cry before and I didn't enjoy it (3). Mostly because I typically don't enjoy open world games. The difference is? Coop throughout the story. The game is EXTREMELY enjoyable when you have a friend to play with. Sections I'm sure as hell I'd be frustrated with end up being hilarious when there's someone there that could just revive you and negate the dumb death.

    Probably the best Far cry game yet, there are some minor bugs but considering that this is at release some are to be expected nothing game breaking from my time spent in game, here are the list of all the good and bad points in my opinion.

    THE GOOD: 1. The graphics are phenomenal, I am running it maxed out on a GTX 1080, easily getting 100+ frames consistently, & it is one of the best
    Probably the best Far cry game yet, there are some minor bugs but considering that this is at release some are to be expected nothing game breaking from my time spent in game, here are the list of all the good and bad points in my opinion.

    THE GOOD:
    1. The graphics are phenomenal, I am running it maxed out on a GTX 1080, easily getting 100+ frames consistently, & it is one of the best looking games I have ever played, especially the environment.
    2. The models for the firearms are the best I have ever seen especially on the AK,
    3. The only recent game to have a such an open world allowing you to play through the story from any 3 directions, (there are some minor annoying sequences that can not be avoided for the sake of story progression)
    4. Freedom of movement, method and variety of gear and vehicles was great.
    5. lots of available support characters,
    6. loads of side quests/content available if you want to explore the world more.
    7. decent bullet physics, (it auto-ranges based on aim-point with all sights to make it simpler to aim, but you can see the bullet drop effect at least, and the shot delay is accurate.
    8. COOP through the whole story mode if you want, it is awesome. they finally got this right (wish the range was a little wider though)
    9. multiplayer is there, and has potential one of its most exciting features is that you can create your own maps and share them with the community. it is a great idea.
    10. voice acting is great, and the main characters are will acted, the other NPCs also have very good voice acting.
    11. they removed all the tedious repetitive animations, for skinning picking stuff up etc: makes playing the game a whole lot more fun and a lot less chore like as in previous games (you had to go through a 2-5 second animation every time you picked something up or skinned an animal)

    THE BAD:
    1. The ending OMFG (not saying anymore due to spoilers) if ME3 made you angry, oh boy...
    2. Weapon damage values are odd and immersion breaking, 5.56 is fractionally better than pistols for damage at range --> 5.56 rifles need to be buffed, 7.62x39 AK is stronger than a .308 (7.62x51) in this game? um.... no, the DMR styled weapons in this game need a buff the .50 needs to one shot anything walking heavy armor too... for immersion sake, you can compensate by making the AI aim better.
    3. the fixed events required to continue the story, are pretty forceful when you do hit one (every dot on the map faction progression bar) you stand no chance of getting away, and there is no point in delaying it anyways.
    4. the seed family's back story could have been explored more.
    5. would like a little more firearms selection instead of the same 3-4 firearms with different skins, you could put other readily available weapons from the area into the game for ex: SKS, Ruger mini/Ruger mini 30, Browing HP, various other makes of bolt action, like a varmint bolt action chambered in .223 (5.56), or classical hunting rifles, Winchester model 70, Remington 700 etc. Glocks, Berettas, a vector, FNFAL, FN SCAR H/L, HK416, G3/G4, G34, Swiss arms SG5xx Series. Lee Enfield, Springfield, M1 Grand in 30-06,
    6. AI is a little on the easy side, they do dumb stuff get stuck and are picked off easily, on any difficulty.
    Great game really shines in single player, and COOP is much improved from previous games, multiplayer has potential but could do better, fore ex: (a class based progression system with weapon unlocks on larger maps like a Farcry battlefield with 24 people on each team would be great idea).
    got my monies worth out of it, glad Ubisoft did not screw this up, it has its faults but I would call it a clear success and a great game.

    This is the best Far Cry game to date. Better, even, than FC2 was relative to its era. The story isn't as rich as in some of the other titles, but the gameplay is FAR better. Far Cry as a series has definitely been on an upward trajectory while its major rival, Just Cause, is going the other direction. Great game and finally brings the franchise to the upper echelon of open world titles.

    A flawed but beautiful and intense roller coaster ride through a playground of destruction. Like previous Far Cry games, it takes a little while to hit its stride, but when it's good, i'ts great.

The game has its share of rivetting moments, whether reuniting with a tortured comrade after an intense fight through a bunker, watching the dog Boomer sniff the dead bodies of his "parents", or watching a chick with an attitude problem weep hysterically as she holds a dead, dorky old man in her arms.
    The plot has its problems. The biggest is, unsurprisingly, that it seems completely implausible the conflict in Hope County could stay under the radar of the US government for the weeks of time the single player campaign spans, especially when the county is so full of flying machines with which anyone could easily escape to the county and contact the outside world. However, with a bit of head-canon patch-work (some of which came from a slight misunderstanding of one of the game’s controversial endings), I was able to get past this.
    Another point, is the protagonist is supposed to be a Hope County Deputy, but has zero backstory there and, of course, the entire world feels new to you. It would have worked much better if the protagonist was cast as a Marshal, one of whom you work with during the game.
    There are plenty of colorful characters to interact with, and when you get the leadership perk and can work with two at once, at times the chemistry feels Mass Effect worthy. The villains, on the other hand, are a mixed bag. While I found John to be compelling, charismatic, and genuinely haunting, Faith felt out of place, like she belonged in Woodstock, not a Christian cult.
    Gameplay is a blast, though unfortunately there is little motive to experiment with different weapons, as every vendor sells every type of ammo. That’s a shame because Far Cry 5 has such a rich arsenal.
    I’m now sad this game is over. I’ll miss you, Far Cry 5.

    NOTES FOR THE DEVS:
    I wish for more interesting side missions in the future and mostly I would really like some small RPG decision in the game. There has been some stuff I wanted to back away from and choose not to do but the game forces me to do it. For example if the game wants me to kill someone and I did not like that decision I would want to choose not to do it.

    REVIEW:
    The Story is good and it's inspired from our trash reality and how we are controlled by the government and do not do anything we want other than being slaves to just work and sleep while the government and other evil bastards benefit from our painful lives. The game itself is crazy FUN and I am a big FC fan and this FC5 is the one I put most hours in. There is lots to do from main to side missions. The world is beautiful and good graphics. Flying is really fun. Its progression a bit different from FC3 and FC4 which is good, it made FC5 its own game and I liked how everything worked. And the Idea that you can have a companion you command is fantastic and fun.

    This could have been the best FarCry game to date but it falls short on some levels and as many already said the biggest problem is the AI.
    -The AI is pretty stupid and the enemy respawn is even more stupid its all over the place, its like FC2 all over again what were they thinking.
    -The next negative thing is that there is no Third-Person camera for the vehicles. There are a lot of cool cars to drive and planes to pilot but you only have the ability to see the window?FOR REAAAAL? what was the meaning by putting bunch of awesome vehicles when you cant see crap when you driving?
    -Some physics problems that they forgot to give attention to.....
    Most of these things can be fixed by a patch but I doubt Ubisoft will care.

    There are a lot of things I could pick over in Far Cry 5, random assets not quite placed in the game world properly or AI NPCs doing odd things or perhaps just criticise Ubisoft for recycling a lot of assets from other games but that wouldn't be fair because this just may be the best Ubisoft game and certainly the best Far Cry game that I have played. Ubisoft Games seem to all be stickingThere are a lot of things I could pick over in Far Cry 5, random assets not quite placed in the game world properly or AI NPCs doing odd things or perhaps just criticise Ubisoft for recycling a lot of assets from other games but that wouldn't be fair because this just may be the best Ubisoft game and certainly the best Far Cry game that I have played. Ubisoft Games seem to all be sticking to a very strict formula these days. Whether you're playing Assassins Creed Origins, Far Cry 5 and it will probably be the same for The Crew 2 when it arrives, there's always a sense of familiarity about Ubisoft titles, more so today than years past. Leaps forward have been more controlled but there has been a refinement which has delivered vast game worlds packed with content and in the case of Assassins Creed Origins and Far Cry 5, compelling stories.

    Far Cry 5 takes us to Montana and we play the part of the rookie deputy, part of a task force sent into the fictional Hope County to arrest the games bad guy Joseph Seed AKA The Father. Joseph Seed is flanked by his faithful companions and Lieutenants whom you must defeat. My personal favourite is faith but the others are likeable foes. John Seed reminds me a bit of Ryan Reynolds . The story starts off tense with the utter madness of the game being mixed in between the story line. I Enjoyed the plot and thought it was written well and well acted by the voice actors there's nothing that really stands out for me though and for that reason I can't see Far Cry 5 being remembered for it's story alone.

    Luckily Far Cry 5 has an awful lot of other things going for it. The game world is beautiful and full to the brim of content. Ubisoft have done a great job recreating rural Montana and it's really surprising to see how beautiful the game looks on even the original Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Ubisoft have clearly put in a lot of work with the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X versions of the game with the latter managing to output at native 4k although both versions give stunning crisp visuals. Even the PC version has had a lot of attention with the game looking stunning and running very smoothly.

    As with most Ubisoft games Far Cry 5 offers you the chance to focus on story missions but you'll often find yourself getting distracted by one of the many side missions you can encounter along the way. The random encounters with NPCs and wildlife offer perhaps the most humorous moments though. One minute you'll be merrily navigating your way through the game and the next something bizarre and funny will unfold in front of you. The ragdoll system also provides many laughs and not once have I found myself getting frustrated or bored.

    There's plenty of customisation for both weapons and your character and whilst there are micro-transactions in the game I've not found myself tempted or manipulated into purchasing anything. There are plenty of vehicles at your disposal and if you want to take a break from the madness of the game there's other activities to do too like swooping down hill sides in your wing-suit or perhaps my favourite in game pass time fishing. If you want to try something a bit more radical then there's always the Far Cry 5 Arcade mode to sink your teeth in too. Players can create their own maps and challenges that can be downloaded and played by others and this game mode will give you plenty of replayability and unadulterd fun.

    Movement and gunplay is nice and sharp with decent difficulty scaling. The AI could be improved but their sometime stupid and random actions can often lead to some truly memorable and funny moments. All in all I have to say that Far Cry 5 is the best game I've played this year so far. It's not perfect and there's plenty that could be done better but there's just so much that's been refined and Ubisoft have created a game that is just so much fun to play. I have no idea where the series is going to go after this but with Far Cry 5 Ubisoft have really raised the bar. This is a game that deserves a place in your collection.

The story theme works, in spite of being absurd like in the other Far Cries (which I rank: FC2 - great, FC3 - bad, FC4 - good). The main opponent intrigued me. I mean, he was no cartoonish fiend, he was full of some kind of sick charisma, I could see why these crazy people would follow him and his actions even made perfect sense, especially in hindsight.
    What really made me say: "Wow!" is the subtheme of the warrior son, one of the three area bosses. No spoilers here, but the mechanics of his subplot are a stroke of pure genius, and 100% got me when the time came. Then I saw the endings, and loved both.
    Gunplay is very good as usual, stealth mechanics are also ok, and most companions are useful, if a bit too chatty. That crazy m*******er Clutch Nixon! I still hear his theme music in my head every now and then, lol!
    I know, I know, the majority of players doesn't like any of the above, but this is MY review and I did.
    So, maybe because I was expecting so little, the game gave me so much instead. YMMV but give it a try if in doubt, it's almost free by now.

    Unlimited loot carrying capacity.

    CONS:
    Enemies keep spawning everywhere. Not that they're difficult to kill but I just want to drive for 2 minutes without being chased by angry cultists.

    Far Cry 5 for the most part can seem like its simply re-tracing the steps of it's predecessors in a new setting. Dig deeper though and you will find a lot of little changes, nips and tucks which makes this installment the most complete experience since Far Cry 2. I wont get into the plot specifics or talk about the story but it is passable if not really anything we have not seen before.Far Cry 5 for the most part can seem like its simply re-tracing the steps of it's predecessors in a new setting. Dig deeper though and you will find a lot of little changes, nips and tucks which makes this installment the most complete experience since Far Cry 2. I wont get into the plot specifics or talk about the story but it is passable if not really anything we have not seen before. The real area where the game shines is in the expended game play options and the visual presentation. It looks gorgeous even on modest hardware and is very well optimized on even cheaper hardware.

    The game is also nicely multi threaded with load being distributed fairly evenly even on a 16 thread processor. ultra settings at 1920 x 1080 and 60 fps is more than achievable with a mid range GPU ( Something like a RX 480 / 570 or GTX 1060 will have no trouble at 1080p)
    The game also uses around 3Gb of VRAM at max settings at Full HD though meaning that you may need to turn down the settings if you are running an older card with 2GB of frame buffer.

    The game world is open from the get go and is more of a sandbox - with no tower climbing to populate the map. missions and side quests are found by talking with the population of Hope County and this change alone adds to the games immersive nature. In saying that Far Cry 5 never takes itself too serious - perhaps why the story never really delves too deep into political issues - but this is all done in the name of fun.

    Which is most certainly is.

    All in all its a gorgeous game, fantastically optimized and lets you loose in a dense, opportunity full sandbox wrapped up in a story that never gets too intrusive.

    It feels larger than ever before, action moments are more frequent and the presentation is top notch.

    If you like Far Cry games you will like this. it's not a revolution but it when it gets its hook's in you.. it's Bliss.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Besides the dull and incoherent story (Montana has NUKED? Seriously? And are you killing the good guys through the entire game?) based on Joseph Seed's alarmism (for what???), this is the second best FPS has ever been made (the first is Dying Light).

    The game mechanics is awesome, the map is incredible, both good and bad characters are awesome, the fighting, the movement are entirely first class (try to play Outer Worlds after this. You just can't.), whaddaya want more?

    I loved it. Thought it was great fun. So much to do and explore in the open world. The graphics are great and the gameplay (especially shooting) is smooth and works well. This was one of those games where I genuinely felt sad to have finished it.

Кроме антогониста, конечно же еще оху***** музыка, просто 10/10 музыки в менюшке. Третий плюс - атмосфера. Но все же у игры 1 самый ЖИРНЫЙ минус, это - не живой герой, то есть Ubisoft просто дает вам персонажа и говорит: "На тебе перса, делай какого хочешь, а голос мы у тебя заберем", просто... Отобрать у персонажа голос, это надо кем быть. Им было так сложно сделать 2 голоса? Я просто не понимаю... Конечно еще порадовала традицая Far Cry-я, секретная концовка я имею в виду. У меня мозг от этой игры так взорвался, что я даже пошел работать и всеми путями искать деньги, чтобы заказать статуэтку Иосифа, пока все не раскупили. Ну, теперь у меня личный Иосиф. Expand

    С технической точки игра хуже FC4, так как мир стал более декоративным, деревья даже не реагируют на взрывы и вертолёты...
    Но сюжет очень хорош, особенно после FC4, пройдя которую я было очень разочарован в сюжете.
    Финал FC5 мне очень понравился, даже ком в горле был, от нахлынувших эмоций.

I've played through the story of this game about 4 times, on multiple different systems, and I never get tired of playing this. It also has many side activities that keep you busy if you decided to take a break from the main story. Additionally these activities will still be available after the main story and so it gives you plenty to keep yourself occupied after then.

    The developers didn't include the in depth hunting system from the previous Far Cry games and instead changed it so that skill points give you those upgrades you would usually earn from hunting, which does make the game lack for one it's greater features.

    Overall I rate this game a 9/10 as the game has many perfect qualities but due to the watered down hunting system I cannot give it a full 10.

    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!
