    Far Cry 5 it's like earlier versions and like 6th part. It's all the same like in 3,4 and primal. Clearing 100 posts, kill stupid npc's, use some vehicles. Fishing is a new feature.

    Emergent gameplay is fun, but becomes tiresome (read cons)
    Weapons feel awesome to shoot
    Fire!!!
    Fishing!
    Hunting (until you realize the illusion, read cons)
    The animal companions
    The human companions

    Cons:
    The monologues, oh my, the monologues...
    The "story" in general
    Enemies constantly spawn out of thin air behind you
    Animals contantly DE-spawn when you are trying to follow them
    It becomes obvious quite quickly that the world is only existing right in front of you. Turn your head for 30 seconds, then look back, and it's a roll of the dice what you'll be seeing.
    The world feels extremely UNpersistent.
    The emergent gameplay is fun, but becomes stale once you realize that stuff is being thrown at you just because you are there, not because they "run into you coming from far away".

    Ok, so I understand that having a completely persistent world is difficult. You'd have to track and process AI for all NPC's everywhere, all the time. It's probably not doable, especially on the consoles. But in Far Cry 5 it seems like nothing is persistent at all. Even the things you are looking at. Following a deer? You can be certain that if it goes out of sight for 1 seconds, it'll be de-spawned and your hunting skills are suddenly pretty useless then. It's basically a game of luck if you manage to keep them in sight for long enough that they won't just disappear into thin air. Same goes for enemies. You will be followed and suddenly you'll notice that they've gone quiet. Not because you defeated them, but because the game has removed them completely. It's the one thing I will say sortof ruins FC5. The lack of persistence.

    In-game silver bars currency is not a problem. Some complain about it, but really, just get the double fur perk and you'll have plenty of money. It was never a problem for me and I've pretty much maxed out my character and even buy special ammo if I feel like it. You basically only need the silver bars if you want the special-skin weapons, which was never something I cared for anyway. Let me point out that these special weapons have pretty much the same stats as the none-skinned ones, so it's not a big deal to not have them.

    But really, it's a fun game. Just don't expect it to be Skyrim or Witcher 3. This is the light-weight type open world game, where the world is there, but nothing is going on anywhere but right in front of you.    … Expand

    Maybe the only positive things about the game is that it looks amazing and the voice acting is very good.
    The non-linear story makes everything seem so generic and repetitive and the flow of things on each region identical to one another. Some parts of the story are straight out of science fiction books and the best way Ubisoft knows how to raise the difficulty is to make enemies bullet sponges and throw any common sense out of the window. The game's ending goes WTF all the way and makes no sense at all. Again they defy logic just for that unexpected factor.
    Borrow this games from a friend, rent it or wait for a big sale but don't waste your money on the full price.

    While I did not encounter game breaking bugs there were quite a few like car hitting dead wolf and flying into the air, a very strange experience with a plane twerking in the air, teleporting instantly on the ground than taking off directly with no speed gain required, mission objective not being completed properly.
    In the beginning I had on average 55 FPS in 4K but the game kept complaining to update my graphics drivers. After the update it dropped 15 fps in 4K to 40 on average, even less and I was forced to play in 1080p.    … Expand

    Fun for a while if you're into shooting everything.

    I had never played Far Cry before. I was expecting a mission-based story akin to Grand Theft Auto along with a free-roam open world.

    There are some missions, but there's a lot of blow-up-this-thing-on-the-map, and kill-all-the-enemies-at-this-place-on-the-map. These can get boring if you're not that into the shooting.

    I couldn't find ways to do much stealth. I think more experienced players learn ways to do more stealth, since you are rewarded for killing all the enemies at an outpost without sounding an alarm.

    I found gunning with the controller on PC annoying, because sometimes aim-assist seems to work and other times it seemed like I had to perfectly line up my shot.    … Expand

One thing that's peculiar is that this has to be the most diverse town in Montana. Both the protagonists and antagonists are quite diverse (not saying this is bad at all). But it definitely takes away some immersion. Some fans thought this would be an opportunity to fight against potential racists or Nazi-like regimes. That's until you realize that there are persons of color in every corner of every faction of every part of Hope County. There is also an equal amount of men and women on both sides. I admire Ubisoft for trying to make sure that this game doesn't offend too many fans, but with that in mind, it makes for very very limited creativity. Far Cry 5 is fun. But it's nothing different. If there was anything very bad about this game, it's the A.I. Oh gawd, that A.I. You'd have to see it to believe it. Overall, it's a very beautiful game that runs great on a decent PC rig. But after a few hours in, you'll realize to yourself: "Geez, I played this all before." It's that same gut punch feeling I had when I played Assassins Creed Origins. New look. New installment.

    NO LEAS ESTO SI NO TE HAS PASADO EL JUEGO
    Vamos a ver por donde empiezo porque madre mía que desesperación.

    Cosas Buenas:
    - Buena Optimización
    - Pocos bugs por no decir ninguno al menos basándome en mi experiencia
    - Gráficos realmente bonitos y bien integrados en el ambiente
    - Buena Jugabilidad (Controles de movimiento, eliminaciones, fluidez...)

    Cosas Malas
    - El juego empieza realmente bien y fuerte, a partir de los primeros 20 minutos se puede sacar una muy buena conclusión del título pero cuando superas la primera media hora el juego va decayendo en la mayoría de sus aspectos narrativos. Te presentan más o menos a la familia Seed pero realmente al único que te entran ganas de partirle la cara es a Joseph, más que nada por que es aquel que tiene más peso en el juego y es el que maneja el cotarro basicamente. Pero en general el juego no genera ninguna conexión entre el jugador (el cual no habla) y los personajes importantes que tienes que matar y realmente te explican muy poco el porqué han decidido montar la secta (los personajes no tienen ningún tipo de trasfondo sobre el que se puedan apoyar narrativamente y eso hace que como jugador te interese menos todo en general).

    - Así como el juego tiene un buen comienzo no se puede decir lo mismo del final. Hay 2 finales disponibles (más el que hay secreto a los 10 minutos de juego) a cada cual peor que te dejan muy mal sabor de boca. Llega un punto en que Joseph Seed te da a elegir entre marcharte o resistirte. El final donde te marchas es simplemente eso, llegas a su complejo donde te esperas una misión final realmente espectacular (como lo han sido FC4 Y FC3) y te encuentras que simplemente coges y tiras por la borda todo lo que has hecho durante el juego y te piras sin más, si vuelves a cargar la partida no puedes continuar con lo de antes si no que es como si todavía no hubieras jugado el final. SI decides resistir, la misión se vuelve bastante interesante y te esperas algo decente cuando detienes a Joseph, incluso cuando estallan las bombas nucleares (de las cuales no te dicen nada en todo el juego) y tienes que conducir hasta el búnker el gameplay se vuelve entretenido y piensas que va a ser la hostia pero el final es una mierda como un castillo. Resumen rápido: Explota todo, Joseph vive y te ata a una cama y ahí se acaba, luego vuelves a entrar a la partida y esta todo muy verde y muy bonito como si no hubiera pasado absolutamente nada.

    - He jugado a muchos juegos a lo largo de mi vida incluida TODA la saga Far Cry (Far Cry 3 es mi juego favorito) y nunca había visto una historia tan desestructurada con un final tan mal hecho. Tampoco estoy pidiendo que te escriba el guión del juego Shakespeare pero creo que cualquiera podría haber hecho algo un poquillo mejor.

    - Si miramos a la saga Far Cry des de sus inicios no vemos que sus juegos tengan historias muy profundas pero si coherentes y algo lineales que es al final lo que capta al jugador y lo hace ponerse en situación.

    - Ya desviándome del tema de la historia cabe mencionar que aunque el juego sigue una estructura diferente en cuanto a exploración y avance de niveles respecto a anteriores entregas la verdad es que no se han molestado en cambiar mucha cosa (que es algo que tampoco veo del todo mal si al menos hubieran ideado una historia decente tendrían escusa).

    - La IA sigue siendo made in ubisoft madre mía que destrozo, creo que al respecto no hay nada más que añadir, no se han dignado a hacer una buena IA des de FC3 que era de los pocos aspectos donde flaqueaba y podían mejorar.

    En conclusión, creo que el juego tenía muchísimo potencial ya que la premisa de la secta era muy interesante, sobretodo si la hubiéramos podido ver des de dentro, pero creo que Ubi se ha cargado definitivamente una de las sagas más emblemáticas de los videojuegos (una de mis favoritas, precisamente por eso me da más rabia), simplemente marcándose una "definition of insanity", haciendo el juego lo más repetitivo posible y llevando la historia a un sinsentido total. Realmente me he llevado una decepción, pero creo que estaba preparado para este fiasco des de el final de AC Origins, que fue malo, pero al menos el juego estaba muy bien hecho en general. Pero este Far Cry 5 flaquea en la mayoría de los aspectos en los que brillaban sus predecesores (menos Far Cry Primal). Si realmente este es el último juego de la franquicia como ponía en Uplay, creo que la han cerrado de la peor manera posible y si quieren sacar otro Far Cry que se tiren al menos un buen tiempo desarrollándolo como pasó entre FC2 Y FC3, que salió un juegazo.    … Expand

All the gun have an air gun feel to them. You can unload a few bullets into someones head and see them walk away. Also, accuracy is crap meaning no matter what your skills, except for a few weapons (e.g. the magnum pistol) you will be frustrated. My wife gave up on this, as she is a more demanding player. I decided to continue in singlaplayer. This whole "bliss" crap made me give up.

    The whole story is crap, but okay, I can live with that if I am not fricking forced to sit through all the cut scenes. Not here, though - the lame, boring, exhausting cut scenes involving the forgettable and boring NPCs are not fricking skippable. I am here to play for 30 mins after i am back from work and the last thing I want is to be forced to watch minutes of boring cutscenes. Sorry, but no more Far Cry for me.

    * The quests (including Prepper Stashes) are actually fun and feels unique from one another.

    * Less focus on resorce gathering and animal hunting. You can still do it but you don't need it for upgrades anymore but instead use perks from challenges, Prepper Stashes etc.

    Cons:

    * The way the story is built up with having to kill 3 lieutenants by building up the resistance through quests etc. in order to get to the final guy is too similar too how Ghost Recon Wildlands is built up

    * There are way too many enemies. You cant drive for 10 seconds without running into som car, truck, plane or chopper that want to end you.

    * The AI isn't very good and when you learn how it works it just isn't very challenging anymore.

    * A bit too much freedom and sometimes it doesn't really feel like you have a clear direction of what to do next. You simply have to explore, liberate bases etc. to unlock new quests.

    Verdict:

    So I didn't have any expectations for this game. I've been dissapointed by Ubisofts games more times than I can coun't. Sure, it's easy to see that this is a Ubisoft game and it shares many mechanics with other Ubisoft games like Assassins Creed and Ghost Recon Wildlands. I personally hated Wildlands as it was nothing but a huge grind and all quests, even main ones, felt like one and the same. Far Cry 5 on the other hand has much better quest design this far. I've only completed 1 of the 3 areas and hopefully the other 2 will feeel unique in terms of quests. It's far from a game of the year but I still find it enjoyable.    … Expand

    Ubisoft, stop making open worlds. Yours are boring and lifeless. Only filled with unaceptable fedex quests and a poor storyline.
    The gameplay here makes no sense at all. Fights are either too easy or impossible because you have almost a entire army against you. You need to use the NPC to fight with you. Yes, worst idea ever.

No character customization made it a rather unpleasent game to play in terms of wanting to actually be that character.

    Then there were the absolutely terrible boss battles .. serious let downs with repetitive QTE events and dull endurance sequences.

    Now .. this is Far Cry 5 .. aaaand .. it feels pretty much uh .. the same.

    As a matter of fact, i can hardly separate it from Ghost Recon Wildlands in terms of structure. A large worldmap (not near as large as Wildlands though) that is fairly pretty to look at. (again Wildlands looks better for the scenery, but in terms of detail Far Cry 5 appears to be nicer) .. both games have rather terrible AI with enemies that can easily be "trapped" at doorways . and throw themselves into a bottleneck situation in what can only be described as pure suicide.

    The vehicles feel good so far, the mini-missions are standard.

    Now is there anything outstanding? ... Not really. The story is OK-ish .. about on a level of a heap 80s action movie. You are good, they are bad .. go kill thousands of them, cause you are GOOD! (and not a psychopatic mass murderer at all) .. no chance to seek a diplomatic or peaceful solution (but its not that kind of game .. )

    Well, at least there is a limited character customization and the player character is bland enough (in a positive way) that he/she is not a total jerk like Far Cry 3.

    However .. the game lives and falls with its bad guy. And i just dont feel it. It might be kind of a ballsy move to make the bad guys white, religious right wing fundamentalists ... but they are not near as exciting as this one pirate guy from Far Cry 3 .. its actually about as bland as the bad guy(s) from Wildlands.

    But the game runs well, looks pretty and offers good action game mechanics for a semi open world game on what feels like a fairly small area. Well above average, but not outstanding.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The open world is improved from Far Cry 4. It's much more fun to find missions along your way in the game instead of having to unlock chunks of the map by visiting towers.
    Stealth is no longer a main part of the game. I fell this change is for the better.
    The story is quite shallow, but appealing enough to not skip cut-scenes.

    The far cry formula. You know it by now, and you either love or hate it.
    Cool villain, beautiful open world, 'okay'-feeling weapons.

    por mais que o jogo traga inovações na jogabilidade ele peca na historia e o protagonista que basicamente não tem voz nome e não existe! nesse far cry foi retirada a mecânica de torres de radio para liberar o minimapa o sistema de pesca pode ser ate divertido mas o jogo não tem uma historia marcante como os jogos anteriores.

    The Montana landscape is beautiful; nuff said. Whether you're enjoying the serenity of fishing salmon at the embankment of a lake during sunset, or being chased off a cliff by a grizzly bear through the lush folliage of a pine forest, you will almostly certainly take a moment each time you play this game to remind yourself how virtually stunning the in-game world looks.

Great gospel choral music and the old-school country tunes just add to the immersion.

    No game's perfect, but I think Ubisoft made a decent effort with this one. Admittingly, the gunplay choices are a bit over-simplified, the bullet physics laggy at times, and the vehicle dynamics clunky; but, to be honest, it's a needle in a haystack problem; if don't go looking for it, you probably won't notice it's a big issue.

    As for the plot, it is a bit far-fetched (and, at times, cringe-worthy), but hey, the game is called "Far Cry" for a reason; so don't be surprised when it's about a self-deluded hill-billy cult proclaming the post-apocalyptic testament as an excuse to takeover this sleepy rural Montana town, and no surprise, your job is to liberate it. But the great thing is you can do it in any order you want and at your pace. Word of advice: take time to explore the game, free roam across the sweeping landscapes and enjoy it; don't rush to tediously complete all the missions at once.

    My two cents: It's worth it. Played 48+ hours of it. Fun solo. Fun-ner with mates in co-op (albeit, servers do drop-out at busier times like Saturday night which can be infuriating). Lots of shiggles to be had. Beautiful and wonderful open world game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worst Far Cry, maybe even worse than Primal.
    The good part first: The map. Its a very beautiful map set in the US-State Montana with a mountainous landscape and rivers drawing a pretty scenery. If you climb up on mountains you can hear the wind whistle and sitting at the river fishing some fish with your dog ''Boomer'' can be very relaxing also. That being said;

    There are over 6 hours of cut scenes most of them forced some of them unskippable. The characters are unrecognizable and talk way too long while the main character (the one you play as) doesn't say a single word . The entire game. They ruined my favorite game series with micro transactions and just dry game play. The stealth has become a little more realistic which means its absolutely no fun since the enemies detect you way too fast even on the easiest difficulty. Far Cry 3 and 4 both had very distinguishable enemies and allies (blue and red) which means its alot easier to tell who to shoot and who to spare. In this game the enemies wear dark colors and so do your allies. While the previous Far Cry's implemented drugs in a sort of comedic and funny way, this game puts you constantly on a drug called the Bliss. Just sitting at a river for example cant be peaceful for on minute because you get detected and shot immediately. Ubisoft also left the knockdown mechanic in the game, which means if you get too close to an enemy they will knock you down to the ground all the time while you got shot. Ubisoft was also too daft to add a function that a dog can sit next to you in a car (just saying GTA 5 is now 7 years old and they were smart enough to know that dogs can sit in a car). The game spends wayyy to much time building up the villain (showing cut scenes of them killing people for example), and when you finally get to kill them its just another cut scene of them giving a horribly written and voice acted speech and then dying. The forced cut scenes and fillers are probably what makes this game absolutely horrid. If you gain aq certain amount of points by freeing a hostage i.e. you will be forced into a cut scene where you're captured in some sort of camp and escape miraculously. 9 times. The fillers are for example opening vault doors. You have to open like 10 vault doors in one mission to get out. The Problem here is that there is a wheel you have to spin to open in which takes like 20 seconds to do. They completely removed the need for hunting since everything is bought now. Also why is there different types of fish with individual weights but they all sell for the same value? Its pointless to go for the more challenging ones since you always get 100$ no matter how heavy or rare they are.

    This game is pretty much GRW with Far Cry in the title
    -Bullet Drop
    -Taking out smaller villains to get to the big one
    -AI companions
    -Micro transactions
    -Skins
    -Main Character doesn't really have a name
    -Helicopters with horrible controls and physics
    -Spawn points for cars
    -No crafting system, everything is bought (which also means hunting is absolutely useless
    -Different regions

    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!!    … Expand

From the dirt flying through the air as you drop bombs on cultists, to the wildlife of the deep forest hunting.

    Some other key elements is some of the audio work. lt is absolutely tremendous. The sound track blows me away as different tracks play through different scenarios as your gun fire echos through the forest.

    Gameplay wise, It is great. The shooting mechanics are solid and feel satisfying without overdoing it. The AI could use some work though. I found some occasions where I felt like I was dealing with GTA V AI flying off the road when I start shooting. Also the game seemed like playing on hard was a healthy medium for me because the AI have such a hard time spotting you if you're careful. Sometimes I would peek out of a bush and shoot multiple RPG's at them and they wouldn't know where it would be coming from. Although there are some drawbacks in that field, the AI still know how to flank attackers, hide in the forest and get the jump on you, and their air support... one of the biggest most exhilarating things in this game is dealing with air support. Being creative in your encounters is encouraged and usually rewarded if executed correctly.

    The CO-OP is almost a necessity when playing this game. Tackling through different bases with a friend might seem like a boring repetitive thing to do but we always had every fight go differently. Some encounters went as planned and some went very, very wrong. It is really helpful to have a friend back you up especially when **** hits the fan and they call reinforcements, shooting flares up through the air as helicopters and fighter planes rain death from above. When playing CO-OP, there is a tethering system meaning that you can only be so far from your partner otherwise you and your partner get sent back to the loading screen. There is a warning screen saying that you are too far away but when I am on air support duty and my friend is on the ground, i get that warning screen far too often and it becomes pretty annoying.

    The new perk system they introduced is ok. Nothing too crazy. Almost like it was a downgrade from Far Cry 3s perk system. This makes getting perks only rewarding from having the extra ammo slots and extra health. So what happened to crafting? Crafting is pretty much thrown away and replaced by this dumbed down perk system except there is one perk that allows you to craft explosives and other home-made goodies but thats it.

    The story of Far Cry 5 is more or less a repeat of what happened in 3 but with different characters. Some of the traditional drug trips are introduced along with other elements directly taken from the 3rd game. I dont want to spoil anything so really the only other thing I can say is that the story is VERY predictable. Almost like they didn't even try to surprise the player.

    Overall, This game is an innovative piece of artwork with solid mechanics and gameplay with a couple issues with the AI and CO-OP.

    Yes, there is micro-transactions in the game. It kind of blows my mind why they even added them in because it completely defeats the purpose of hunting/fishing in the wilderness and selling animal pelts/fish/skin for money which can be spent on having personal vehicles, weapons, and other tools. The items do not really seem inflated or influenced my the micro-transactions at all considering everything doesn't really need any hardcore grind for. It seems like the traditional shop in previous Far Crys that had shops. Its just another reason for people to just hate on this game when it doesn't need to even be there in the first place.

    I know this review is a little early but this is just my personal take on the games release so far.

    Gameplay/Mechanics: 8.5
    Story: 6.5
    Graphic Design: 9.0
    Soundtrack: 9.0
    Compatibility on PC (G4560 w/ GTX 1060 3G) I know its potato but c'mon: 7.0

    Overall: 8.0

    Far Cry 5 for the most part can seem like its simply re-tracing the steps of it's predecessors in a new setting.

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.    … Expand

    Cons

    Premium Currency for a single player game
    Buggy and Glitchy
    Enemies spawning in front of you to ruin any immersion
    Poorly implemented co-op
    Predictable A.I

    Far Cry 5 isn't a bad game, but it's not exactly groundbreaking or really offering anything new. Basically in a nutshell, if you like Far Cry 3, you'll most likely like this because there really isn't that much difference. The problems that FC5 has right now is exceptionally glitchy physics, the current player deaths I've all suffered so far have all been ragdoll physics bugging out, such as trucks bouncing around the road, or opening a truck to save some hostages and then being knocked high into the sky. The A.I is fairly bad too, almost all peggies will follow a set path or act dimwitted so the player can easily mow down a ton of them or sneak around easily for a takedown attack. The only real difficulty comes from taking down outposts silently and stealthfully for the bonuses, even that isn't so hard once you get a few powerful weapons with suppressors aka a sniper rifle.

    The story, although controversial for some people is quite believable and I'm happy that a publisher finally decided to face religious extremism topics without backing down to SJWs or pressure.

    The co-op feature is unfortunately quite useless unless you have *a lot* of friends who own the game, and are on at the same time. Please don't buy this game if you think you'll enjoy the co-op feature, because it is highly likely you'll never get to play Co-Op at all, this really needs a drop in/drop out system because as is right now, it's useless.

    Another issue is the MicroTransactions system, it is pretty insidious - You can find Silver Bars in safes but they are quite rare, and almost everything in the shop can be purchased with premium currency, even ammo! Ammo is one of the points I want to make a strike against the game, you cannot carry much ammo at all, far far less than previous FC games even with perks you don't get that much ammo, and the real kicker here is that it is expensive to replenish so your forced to conserve ammo as much as possible, and hunt random peggies to steal ammo, or hunt down the prepper caches.

    My biggest concern right now is that even after doing all the current content, all the missions and side content is that I doubt you will have enough money to unlock everything. Another major issue is the enemy spawn rate, I've seen countless times already peggies or animals literally pop up from thin air or from off the side just out of your characters vision arc, just enough to keep wasting your precious ammo.

    Overall, FC5 is above average but it isn't groundbreaking, it isn't as good as previous games simply because of the bugs and the microtransactions. Publishers will need to understand a major fact, for any triple A release these days that has extra MTs for a primarily single player game needs to understand that the ratings will be lower because of that, especially when compared to previous games.    … Expand

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

    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.    … Expand

    This is more or less what you expect from a modern open world game -- while most of the game is just ok, once in a while you get these moments of chaotic emergent action which you want to tell other people about.

My favorite moment was an attempt to clear a roadblock setup by cultists; while I was setting myself up to stealthily kill them one by one, a few resistance fighters showed up from nowhere and turned the whole thing into a chaotic firefight. More cultists arrived, and the fight became tense, when suddenly ***a runaway moose decided to flip a truck*** which then exploded near my enemies turning everything into a fiery nightmare. Anyway, the roadblock was gone... ok, it was replaced by a cemetery of charred vehicles which still blocked the road, but, hey, all the cultists were gone, mission accomplished! :D

    The game has tons of interesting systems: there are grappling mechanics, ziplines, cars, trucks, boats, planes, helicopters, pets... You can even go fishing, and the world is beautifully rendered with its forests, mountains, rivers and lakes. And your companions, your enemies, random passersby, animals, water, all these things interact in interesting ways. Cougars hunt for deer and are ran over by ATVs, independently from what you are doing, but you still have enough control of the action to find the whole thing pleasant.

    Well, with a few exceptions: there are a few instances where the game interrupts whatever you are doing to start a story mission even when you do not want it. These moments are very annoying (especially because the story missions which follow feel quite bland), but are very few and are not enough to turn this into a bad game.

    I also found the villains underwhelming; they have lots of lines, but they do not reveal much of their characters beyond "we are deranged cultists, each one of us defined by a single character trait which features in every single line we say". Even the main villain has long speeches that felt a bit repetitive and which weren't that interesting to me.

    Also, the game is slightly bloated with dull missions and collectibles. Well, at least you can buy maps which show the collectible's locations, and I must admit that the world is beautiful to explore... but I wish games did not have so many of these menial tasks which we players which are slightly OCD never manage to leave aside. Oh, and fishing with the mouse is way too cumbersome -- if you want to fish, use a controller (still boring, but at least doable).

    A final negative point is the fact that you MUST use Ubisoft Connect on top of Steam to run this. Isn't one piece of DRM enough?

    But, all in all, I had lots of fun with the 50hs I spent with this. Score: 84/100.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

The lessons learned from previous games is evident. It has been greatly improved. There is still room in regards to customization of your gear, but this is one of those games that has taken queues from the community to improve and did so.

    The most important thing, ALL of the potential political fear about this game is unfounded. It goes out of its way to avoid anything to the effect. To the benefit of the game. I would have probably just rolled my eyes and shut it off if it got too preachy. I play games to get away from the constant news feed. THANK YOU UBISOFT! We have had a dicey relationship, but you did right with this one.

    The story isn't overly complex, or deep. Just like every other Far Cry game. The characters are somewhat sympathetic, but not to the point that compared to Vas. They peaked with Vas when it came to interesting characters, but i think it might be as much the actor as the script. Each of them does have their own appeal/revulsion and it is quite clear what is good and what is bad. Very white hat/black hat.

    Finally, THEY DID DLC RIGHT! This got an extra +1 from me for actually not having ANY of the DLC a direct connection to the main game. It isn't slices of the full game separated off. It is TOTALLY side stories that only tangentially connect to the main game. They haven't been released yet, but you can see where they come from.

    To be vague and not spoil anything, the three are "Dead Living Zombies" probably relates to the drug storyline. "Hours of Darkness" a Vietnam story, seems to be tied to a sidequest about a Vietnam vet. I'm guessing his past. Finally, "Lost on Mars" seems to be tied to another sidequest that is a strange science fiction X-Files type.

    So yea. Fun game. Not overly complex Far Cry storyline. If you are looking for deep storytelling, you wouldn't be considering a Far Cry game.    … Expand

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.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    Great characters throughout the story. The story can at times seem a little muddy, and some times the game rips you out of what you're doing to keep telling the story, and it's annoying. But you get use to it. Felt like we had a huge pay off that wasn't too predictable in the end. Which i enjoyed.

    AI is straight up terrible at times though. That is worth mentioning. But most of the time it was decent enough.

    The shooting in general feels good.

    While the game has micro-transactions, not a single one of them was appealing to me as i don't care for playing too much around with cosmetics. I'm in it for the action and the story.

    Took me 16 hours to complete the story plus a large chunk of the side quests, but still had some left when i finished the game.

    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.

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.

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.

    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!
