    Personally, my favorite of the Far Cry franchise. I love the story here and the environment the game is set in. Although these games really feel like a copy paste job for the most part, I found myself having the most fun playing this one vs the others

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The open world is gorgeous, the story starts really cool. But as time passes, the plot becomes predictable, the trippy drug sequences are annoying and make no sense. The ending is not bad at all, excepting for the bad guy being bullet-proof. There´s too much Deus Ex Machina in this game. It makes no sense that Joseph survives, it makes no sense the nuclear holocaust he created inside the US, and that the main character and him could make it to the bunker.… Expand

    Great game, amazing coop. Played at the hardest difficulty. Love the story and villains.
    Expect bugs. I was able to break the game to the point I nearly had to start over (otherwise a 9/10 game, but the bugs are pretty serious).

    Przepiękna gra, która zmusiła mnie do zapoznania się z książką, ponieważ to, o czym opowiada ten tytuł to coś pięknego. To w jaki sposób został przedstawiony motyw kultu oraz podejścia do swojej wiary i to jak to wszystko się prezentuje na tle zalesionego stanu Ameryki. Postacie nadały niesamowitego klimatu tej odsłonie a muzyka go jeszcze bardziej dopieściły. Polecam z całego serca.Przepiękna gra, która zmusiła mnie do zapoznania się z książką, ponieważ to, o czym opowiada ten tytuł to coś pięknego.

    I ignored this game because I hated Far Cry 2.

    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

    While this game looks amazing (textures etc), this game is supposed to simulate real life, yet the 4 boss's cutscenes/interactions and powers are utterly illogical. So stupid. I cannot appreciate it at all.

    If you want to play something just to relax and you do not have to follow the plot, then this game surprisingly turned out to be a very pleasant entertainment.

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!

    The gameplay is alright but the way every single interaction between you and the seeds is made is beyond lazy just randomly drugging you at certain points in the game to feed you exposition and doing that at least 3 times for each of them then spawning you at the location that the story requires you to be at THAT IS LAZY

    As a big fan of Far Cry 1, I decided to try FC5 after lots of years. In FC1 there were obvious AI glitches, but it was tolerable and sometimes fun as it was almost first of its kind game on that level :) Graphics in FC5 is really nice and storyline (I am in 1/3 lets say) seems tempting as well. Found myself sometimes watching the scenery being fascinated. Pity is that AI glitches in FC5As a big fan of Far Cry 1, I decided to try FC5 after lots of years.

Found myself sometimes watching the scenery being fascinated. Pity is that AI glitches in FC5 reminded me of FC1 where noc behavior looked little a bit similar :) So what really drives down this game, is enemy and companion AI, after all those years, it looks pretty stupid, also according to current measures. 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

    In a nutshell the game is basically like the most recent FC games - same engine and basic system as FC3 / 4 / Primal and runs smooth, but has terrible story progression (forced capture missions are terrible), and an awful ending to the game which makes your accomplishments feel pointless - skip this one. Final Rating: 3 / 10

    Coming from a very un-bias perspective I have to say this is the second best far cry in the series next to 3. The story is so cool and brings new and funny mechanics into the game that really livens it up. While yes this is another "re-skinning" of Far Cry 3, the story makes up for it in every way and the story taking place in such a redneck state like Montana makes it so much funnier whenComing from a very un-bias perspective I have to say this is the second best far cry in the series next to 3.

    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!
