    Ubisoft games are the McDonald's burgers of the gaming world. Not the tastiest food, but they're served quickly and the quality is consistent. In other words, you know what you're getting. If you like the stuff, good for you. If you don't, do yourself a favor and don't play them.

If you don't, do yourself a favor and don't play them.

    Far Cry 5 is the worst Far Cry to date. The formula is extremely stale at this point and there's very little that's going to surprise you in this game. You've seen it all before in Far Cry 3 and 4, and other Ubisoft games.

    Far Cry 3 was a good game since what they brought out was fresh, and they had great villains (and some great other characters as well). Far Cry 4 was a copypaste job that didn't improve on Far Cry 3 except for graphics in some parts. In fact, I'd say Pagan Min was the only reason Far Cry 4 was even playable from start to finish. The gameplay was just as boring, but my desire to learn more about this dude kept me playing.

    Far Cry 5 doesn't have a charming villain or anything fresh in it to redeem it as a gaming experience. It's the same goddamn McDouble you've have had the chance to eat for the past 10 years. It's not going to magically taste better all of a sudden.    … 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

    I played with a friend which probably made this more enjoyable than what it really is but even then their progress doesn't count towards your progress, forcing you to switch back and forth between both games for unlocks and New Game+. Except why would you play it twice with neither ending being decent. If you like drugs you'll like this game, because every major story event practically drugs you to start, yanking you from whatever quest you were trying to do to take part in a mediocre story. They really need to work on their story writing in the future. Even the friend I was playing with that usually takes things better than I do gave the game a 6 out of 10. We won't be finishing my game as we both agreed that it was pretty garbage and quit to do other things.    … Expand

    Minimap replaced with a compass reticule at the top feels odd after playing 4 games with a minimap. Very annoying having to constantly open the Map interface to find anything past 100 meters.

    Stealth mechanics simply suck. What's the point of having a silencer if enemy NPC's are still alerted to your position when you shoot an NPC from a bush. Especially when the enemy NPC is alone and the body isn't found.

    Chain takedowns only work half the time, pistol takedowns work a quarter of a time, vehicle takedowns are no longer a thing, death from above now only works undetected, and death from below was used only once during the tutorial. Can no longer drag bodies after taking them down, making stealth much harder as well. Enemy NPCS will often spot you through bushes while crouched.

    Weapon variety went from nearly 40+ guns in Far Cry 4, to like 15 guns max in Far Cry 5. Basically, for each category (Handgun/Rifle/SMG/Sniper), the starter version is better than most of the upgrades you spend hours to unlock.

    Forced main missions make clearing up the side mission list annoying.
    NPC's in ATV's and trucks literally spawn like every 50m. You practically can't run anywhere without attracting someone's attention and getting shot at.

    Companion system is new and fun, but basically as worthless as the Death from Below mechanic. After the first companion, you will essentially pretend that the other companions you unlock exist.

    The game is pretty though.    … Expand

    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.

It is there case, where you play in a game, which you like just walking around of land, driving a car on long distance, and going in edge map, where don't step foot of human. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
