    I've got super disappointed with this game, after all, FC4 is one of my favorite games of all time.

    But FC5 screwed the franchise up. FC4 was an evolution of FC3, some people didn't like the story but at least everything that was in FC3 was in FC4, they just add new things (like vehicles, new takedowns animations, weapons, etc) FC5 on the other hand simply removed many cool things    I've got super disappointed with this game, after all, FC4 is one of my favorite games of all time.

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

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

    Far Cry has a terrible crutch with their villains, and they really made a hipster a cult leader who has no real motivations, ideals, or anything.

    The gameplay is fine, it's not incredible but its just slightly improved far cry 4, or slightly inferior new dawn, at least mechanically.

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

I've reached a point where I'm not going to buy anything from Bugisoft, all their games are optimized by 4 monkeys in an office in South Cameroon. I said I'm gonna give it a try, bought it twice on Steam to make sure, and it's the same **** tried everything and the game still runs like **** the only Far Cry than runs decent are 3, 4 and Primal. The Division, doesn't matter which one is the same **** Watch Dogs, both of them ofc, the same **** learn how to optimize games Ubisoft. I'm 20, been playing games since 2 (not kidding lol) and never saw such a garbage company except from EA, Apple and the rest of this ****ty magnitude. Don't buy their trash games, at least until they make something which can be playable by a PC which meet both recommended and minimum requierements and it still runs like ****… Expand

    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.

    Its a good RPG with a compelling story. Maybe the best Far Cry came to date. Huge world to explore and tons of game play for your money which is more than you can say for a lot of other AAA titles. Yea they have micro transactions but they really do not effect the single player mode. People complain to much these days.

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

    I'm writing a review after playing 5 hours of FC6 and absolutely hating it. FC5>FC6. I recommend FC5 especially at the price of $9.99.

    Gra bardzo nudna i powtarzająca się, nie potrafiłem kompletnie wciągnąć się w fabułę, przeciwnicy rodzą się na polu bitwy.

    Jedyne plusy dla tej gry to dobra grafika i dobry tryb co-op

    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. Finally, I would say that the graphics and sound were wonderful.

    One of the best things in this game is ability to throw shovels into people faces. Too bad they basically removed melee weapons in Far Cry 6.

When you arrive the area of dead deer, you find literally nothing! Because deer ran a little bit out of your draw distance and poof, it gone forever. I was fully ready to doing same things in this game. Cause i know its Ubi. But gameplay of Far Cry often fun and entertaining. Unfortunately Far Cry 5 dont let player play the game with fun. The things written on top just a tip of the iceberg. Tons of glitches, bugs and one-star missions etc. already exist in game. I just wanted some far cry-like fun but this game doesnt even let me fun. I really like Far-Cry brand, i honestly do. Yet this game gave me just suffer.… 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.    С технической точки игра хуже FC4, так как мир стал более декоративным, деревья даже не реагируют на взрывы и вертолёты...

    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.

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

    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.

    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!
