    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.
    con todo eso es un juego recomendable si eres fan de la franquicia de far cry pues es mas de lo mismo mejorando un poco algunas cosas y si no eres un fan pues no haría daño esperar para comprarlo en una rebaja.    … Expand

They're clearly intended to ruin Ubisoft's reputation and are not realistic reviews of the game. Read on for a genuine, unbiased opinion of the game.

    Right off the bat, Far Cry 5 feels much more natural and immersive than its predecessors. The graphics have been improved even further (especially with the HD resolution pack) and the game remains optimized since it uses the same engine as Far Cry 4.

    In contrast to the previous games, FC5 takes a hands-off approach. Ubisoft decided that gamers should be allowed to figure out their own way of approaching the game rather than having them complete missions one after the other. In this game, you need to gain control of three regions, and the missions you choose to do are entirely up to you. The order in which you take over the regions affects the cutscenes you get, so your journey is unique to you.

    One issue I had was that the northern region was a little boring. There weren't that many missions to do there and they were mostly errand runs. Another minor issue I experienced was that I couldn't figure out how to fish in the game no matter how much I tried.

    Overall, I think the game is still a solid 8. There wasn't really any new content added to the game and the story isn't the greatest because it revolves around violent extremism, but it's a bit more cohesive than FC4's. FC5 simply merged the previous two games together and polished them. Compared to the previous games, FC5 feels a bit more comfortable to play.

    HOURS OF DARKNESS DLC
    This was a fun DLC based on the Vietnam War. It only lasted an hour, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I really liked the effort put into creating the map and the overall feel of it. It's truly a well-made DLC. I don't have any complaints. Score: 9/10

    LOST ON MARS DLC
    My main gripe with this DLC (although it's been a gripe throughout the entire series for me as a whole), is that the entire story is narrated by Hurk, whom I hate with a passion because of his annoying personality. The story is really random and silly. You experience all the map has to offer after a few locations. The lack of transportation is a turnoff since you move around very slowly. I don't recommend playing this DLC. Score: 5/10    … Expand

    The story is especially dumb. This game has a habit of taking controls away from you to do something completely stupid and then goes like "woah, what a twist!". And let me say, EVERY "twist" in this one is telegraphed a mile away and is so obvious it hurts.

    Co-op mode is full of bugs and only saves progress for one of you.

    This game is only good to just drive around and find some random adventures, but even at that it's too short and empty.    … Expand

    Good graphics without any concern to play, a dumb story with forced cutscenes and forced dumb quests to "involve" you to the story. That ruins your gameplay and make game annoying. It's maybe the worst game i ever played, the relatively good graphics engine and the big open world doesn't help. I try to love this game but i cant. And the big bunch of bugs remained after one and half year.

    Lack of enemy variety makes the game very repetitive even at early game. Lack of weapon variety. A large number of missions can be reduced to "Go to this location and kill everything". Could only kill 1 boss and got bored as F***

All you do is go from point A to point B and kill a crowd of people, and then you get a reward for it. No interesting craft, where animation, animation of animals. There is no selection animation, just press E and that's it. All enemies have the same faces. Useless team that only prevents you from completing tasks.
    Bad story that does not reveal. How did these thugs hit the island? Why do they kill people? Why do people protect themselves from them? ...
    Playing stealth is no longer interesting, as in 3 or 4 parts. Just put the muffler on the machine gun and that's it. Remove the silencers, add more variety of weapons, increase recoil, take the ammunition from the player and start playing more interesting.
    At the very beginning of the game I had a lot of ammo, excellent weapons and all consumables.

    Open world: 8/10. Not as great as in GTA, no random events, but still great land shafts, lots of raiders and animals and it's fun to kill them cause it has its sense.

    Without a doubt the best game in the far cry series, and a great expansion of the far cry formula. While still sticking close to what made far cry great, far cry 5 dives deeper into uncharted territory with new RPG elements, an engaging and fascinating world and possibly the best antagonists of in Ubisofts history.

Lots of people here saying the game is repetitive. 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.

    - Bugs
    - Microtransaction in a singleplayer/co-op game...

    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!
