    I have never been a fan of this series. But I played some parts. The fifth part, I think, is the most successful.
    Although not without the old minuses: a dumb antagonist, a dumb plot, monotonous missions (cleaning up bunkers). But the open world has become much more interesting and pleased with the ending.

    Pretty good. Nothing amazing or mind blowing, but the setting is awesome, the characters are decent, the gameplay is solid, it all makes for a pretty damn good game, I'd say 7/10

    В целом неплохая игра, правда становится скучновато, из-за репетативности, также сильно смущает количество сектантов на дорогах, ну прям не местная секта, а личная армия. А так, типичный фаркрай

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've left spoilers at the end.

    I feel like this is like 50% of 2 different games crammed into 1. Each would be decent on their own, but put together it clashes immensely, and neither are completely finished.

    One part of the game, is an action game, you can stealth, or fly planes or choppers and blast all the enemies, no one care who they are or how they die. Even innocents can be killed without any consequence. This part of the game is the "Just Cause" part of the game. You're free to roam the entire world, and are tasked with liberating it through various small side missions. This part of the game is fine, but gets rather repetitive as there are not much variation in enemies or armory. It's over the top, you're killing enemies by the hundreds. It's decent fun, but feels like it could use a bit more before its finished, and then it would simply be Just Cause.

    The other game is not an action game but like a horror thriller. This part of the game is all the cut-scenes and all the forced upon you, unskippable story missions. It's how the game starts out. You need to stealth and getting hit by an enemy is serious. The villains try to get into your head. It would be interesting to have an entire game focusing on this part, a bit, I don't know, Resident Evil 7 or Adam Wake.

    Spoilers below

    But these two games clashes horribly in Far Cry 5. You go from being an unstoppable killing machine, to auto hit with sleep bullets that again, and again drag you into this completely other experience, where it's suddenly supposed to be very real and dark and gritty.

    I think letting players be in control when you get hit by the sleep attacks is a mistake. Surely it could be done better just keeping it all in a cut-scene. I once fought of the entire hit squad from John, but another just comes along. If you do want the player to have a fighting chance, don't give the enemies HP and the player a gun and active control.

    I felt very little connection to the NPCs. And the 4 main villains seems to be meant as "Oh they're crazy, but don't they kinda have a point?" but it's just insanity all the way down, and the protagonist never calls it out. And then at the very end of the game, it's revealed that the villains were right all along. The world was ending, or you could walk away. Both so unsatisfying endings. No ending leads to the death of the madman behind all of the horrors, and they even vindicate him. I gave up on the game several times, but finally I figured at least I would get to kill Joseph, but no. Magic and a Deus Ex nuclear Armageddon happens.

    The EXTREMELY super natural drugs were also so out of place to me. UNLESS you went the Just Cause cheeky action packed way completely. Combined with the serious cut-scenes and unskippable story missions, it was so weird to have "magic" in it.    … Expand

    Эта опять все та же FAR CRY 3 только с большим количеством транспорта, и на мой вкус с более интересным сеттингом. Кучка фанатиков захвативших власть внушали надежды на достойный сюжет, а сам Иосиф Сид по превью казалось смог бы потягаться в харизматичности с Ваасом. Жаль что на деле ему дали от силы 30 минут экранного времени, да и тему фанатиков не раскрыли.Эта опять все та же FAR CRY 3 только с большим количеством транспорта, и на мой вкус с более интересным сеттингом.

    Even though I heard that a lot of people talk about how they didn't like the game or how it was mediocre, I still wanted to give it a fair chance and was kind of excited to play it.

I liked Far Cry 4 and I was looking for a good co-op game to play with my cousin, unlike Far Cry 4 you can play all the missions after the tutorial with a buddy. I did really like the game at first, but then I started to see a lot of the game's problems as we continued. A lot of problems weren't as clear because I was playing it co-op and co-op can make even a bad game fun. Co-op may of been my favorite part about the game, but at the same time it has so many problems. A big aspect of the co-op that will not take long to notice that you can only get so far from other the player before it teleports you back and in certain missions it can end in failure. First of all, the I don't believe that players should be forced to be that close to one another. I get having a limit on how far they can get from one another, but it is ridiculous at how limited it is. I don't think I would have as many issues with the distance if it wasn't for the fact that it caused me to fail missions multiple times. I would say the biggest example of this is actually in the last mission of the game. Without spoiling anything, the last mission is a driving sequence where both players seperate into two different vehicles. The issue with this segment is that the host player's vehicle is faster than their buddy's. If the host player gets too far ahead of the other player the mission fails. This is supposed to be a pretty crazy part of the game and it's ruined by forcing the host player to wait up for the other player so they don't fail. That is just one example of the limited distance being an issue. There are other issues with the co-op as well. Another issue is the inconveniences it causes for the player who joins the host's world. When I played with my cousin I was in his world so a lot more things were limited to me than him. One of the annoyances was me not being able to start any of the mission and being forced to wait for my cousin to get over there and do it. This is more of problem I just have with the game and I get why they wouldn't want the player that joined the world to have that ability. I still think they should give the host player the ability to choose if they want the other player to be able to do so. Compared to the next issue I had with the game that problem doesn't matter to me that much . Throughout the game, me and my cousin would complete a lot of missions and beat a lot of regions. By doing that my cousin was able to upgrade his health some more and even a get an 3 weapon slot while I couldn't get any of that. All that effort I made with my cousin and I got nothing too big out of it. There were so many things that I wanted, but couldn't get any of it because I didn't do that stuff on my world. So I decided to play it on my world as well all the way through. This was miserable especially sense during that time sense I started Far Cry 5, I started playing Far Cry 3 and beat it. Far Cry 3 is a much better game and after playing it, Far Cry 5 really started to fall apart. One those aspects was the villains. Even before I Far Cry 3 I didn't care for Joseph Seed or any of the other Far Cry 5 villians. But when I noticed how much better Far Cry 3's Vaas was, I was just bored anytime I saw any of the Far Cry 5 villians were onscreen. It wasn't helped by how the missions were done leading to encountering the villians. The game tries to give you freedom on what missions you wanna tackle. You can pick which region you wanna take over and then within the region you get to choose which missions within it. Each main mission, side mission, outpost you beat, and whatever other things you do in a region adds up points to completing the region. An interesting aspect is that you don't have to do all the main missions to complete a region. For me, I personally don't like that mechanic. It makes a lot of missions feel like they really don't matter because another playthrough I may never play that mission and still beat the game. What makes it worse is that the main missions already on their own feel like bland side missions. Speaking of side missions, they are almost indistquishable from the main missions. There is no cutscene, just some stiff person talking to you. The mission is just as simple as kill these people, protect this place, or get this thing. Not all the main missions are like this, there are good ones, but not many stick out. Then there are the main missions with the villains. What I hate about these is that I am trying to do my own thing and complete other missions, but then suddenly I am dragged into these main missions even if I don't want to. It makes the main missions feel like inconveniences and I think I would of enjoyed them more if I wasn't forced into them. Overall the game just felt frustrating and boring.… Expand

    Quite disappointed with it. The story opens in a great way with a brilliant graphical demonstration of the Dunia engine and thats it. The plot stagnates and never develops.

And all those hallucinating crap is not interesting anymore, it has BECOME FRUSTRATING! And yeah, most of the side missions SUCKS!

    I would say the game is not perfect and the teammate AI is not great. Over the guns feel ok, but lack a lot of customization and micro-transactions, though not needed to get most unlocks, is ham-fisted into the single player aspect.

    At full price I would not say this game is worth it, but at the discount I got it at I would say it is worth while to pick up just for the story play through.    … Expand

    I had a lot of fun with this game, until I suddenly just got bored around the third act.
    The world is beautiful but the more time you spend in it the more silly the narrative built around it all becomes.
    Regardless of this there is still plenty of fun to be had in this game.

    This game is a mess and the first far cry game i didnt 100% or even finish. It's a result of multiple factors:
    -good but boring scenery
    -the shooting is snappy but the guns are kinda boring and the ai is dog ****
    -the air and boat stuff controls badly
    -the bases and all structures have no verticality at all

    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.

I take three and four for amazing games, but unfortunately it is no longer possible to say that with five. So sit down right at the beginning and I'll write you my personal opinion on the game here. Negative okay. The fact that Far Cry does not come up with anything new and has been throwing us the same recipe in the form of a negative for years, and I don't blame ourselves for the best time in the game several times. In my opinion, it belongs to the series and I personally think that it works. But what didn't work out quite well, at least on my part, is the mission system that the developers have switched to here. On the one hand, I commend the authors for the attempt at change, but unfortunately I think for the worse. In previous episodes (except perhaps only two), we had a pretty cinematic game with a strong story, and the game rewarded us with a cut-scene for completed missions. There are also films here, but simply not to the same extent as before. To explain, you come to a place in the game where you talk to a character, and if it was a three or four, the cut-scene would start immediately. But that doesn't happen here, and you can still walk, jump, and shoot while you're talking to a character who gives you the task of walking. Just like you didn't talk to her. In fact, you don't even talk because your character doesn't talk, which makes it almost completely impossible for you to form a relationship with her. I may be too critical here, but personally it bothered me quite a bit when the previous parts were able to draw us into the story so well, and it's just not here. So, from my point of view, this is the biggest minus of the game and now it's just the good thing. So I can reassure you that if you are a fan of the FPS genre as such (which I am) and you are not very interested in the story (which I am interested in at Far Cry), then I think you will be satisfied. There are a lot of weapons in the game and you can create your arsenal with which you will kill your enemies. In addition to sprinkling enemas, an animal partner can also help you. Ubisoft has already tried this technique in Primal and it worked well for me, so it is quite clear that we have the opportunity here as well. But if that's still not enough for you, you can even finish the whole campaign with a friend. This is probably the best thing about the game. You can enjoy the whole parade with a friend and I believe that it will be an oven in two, but I personally played the game myself. Having criticized the game for its lack of cinematicity, I have to praise the passages where you freak out and fall into bliss. The scenes here are often cinematic and it is a pity that this is not the case with the whole play. The whole thing is underlined by the beautiful song "Help Me Faith", which I rank among the best songs from the games ever. In conclusion, I would mention that this is a good game, I just think that if it weren't for the cut-scenes where someone is talking to you without changing the camera angle, or at least your character said something, the game could still be much better. I would recommend the game mainly to Far Cry fans, but also to FPS enthusiasts. Only if you expect a stronger story, you may be disappointed with the game in the final. But if you are not interested in the story and you just want to shoot yourself, then I think you will be satisfied.… Expand

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

    FC5 took away most of the things I loved about the last two titles.

    - Gameplay - In terms of combat and stealth, Far Cry 5 plays the same as Far Cry 3 and 4, which is good. But they removed the ability to hunt and craft. You can still hunt, but you can't craft. You can only sell what you've hunted, which completely defeats the purpose of hunting. The devs might as well replace all the    FC5 took away most of the things I loved about the last two titles.

You can only sell what you've hunted, which completely defeats the purpose of hunting. The devs might as well replace all the animal locations with a bunch of treasure chests. Animal were also far and few in between. You'd rarely see random animal attacks, and the variety of animals was very narrow. I didn't like these changes at all.

    Scaling radio towers to view an area on the map is taken out, it's now done automatically when you've passed by that area. I personally really like climbing the radio towers in the older Far Crys. It was a bit thrilling, since I'm scared of heights in real life and would never climb that high.

    The perk system works relatively the same way, but I would say it's a bit harder to gain perk points compared to before. There aren't any over powered perks like "run forever", which is reasonable, as those perks in the old titles gave the player too much power. The boss fights were mostly silly. Especially the final boss. Very underwhelming and repetitive compared to past titles.

    - Narrative -
    This has got to be the part I disliked the most, but this is more of a personal taste. The antagonists of Far Cry 5 are a radical religious cult. I've seen a fair share of cult documentaries, and they are interesting to learn about. The craziness shown in the villains were also really well done. You could clearly see they were mentally on a different channel. Though at the same time, the villains all felt too similar in personality. There are 4 of them, and they have A LOT of monologues. Going through each area began to feel like a chore after I defeated first villain. By the end of it, I just got burnt out by that empty blank look they had, along with their cold monologues. Why did they do this? Far Cry 3 and 4 had villains of varied personalities and agendas. Far Cry 5 felt like it had 1 villain but times four.

    I also didn't like the fact that the protagonist was you. I liked AJ Ghale. I liked Jason Brody. One had a goal you wanted to fight for. The latter had an interesting personality change along his journey. There's a lot of customisation you can make to your avatar, but you never actually see him...so WHAT's THE POINT?

    - Visuals & Sounds -
    The game looks beautiful, and the facial expressions are REALLY well done. When the cult leader leans into your face and talks to you, he truly looks insane. The devs did a very, very good job with portraying a radical cult leader. The environment looks beautiful too. It's unfortunate the setting doesn't have as much mountains as the locations in previous Far Crys.

    - Replay value -
    There are a lot of things to collect, and side missions to complete after you finish the game. But it all feels very repetitive. The things you do in side missions and main missions just feel too similar. Plus, given the way the game ended, there's little reason to complete any of it, as it'll be all for naught.    … Expand

    The starting scene of Far Cry 5 was very good and the father character was made very carefully, and our main character was just as sloppy.

    Pure fun gameplay, silly plot, actually good optimization and visuals — what else to ask for? It is Ubisoft after all.
    This Far Cry is way better than all previous ones, btw. 7/10

    In the end, it was a really great experience. Twisted story and lots of connections between characters made this playable. Bugs were annoying at some points but it is forgivable. It needs lots of updates and patching.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You as us marshall go to Montana to arrest some cult leader. But since you come with few people you quickly get captured like a fool. It is classic far cry scenario. Storytelling is great but I didn't really care about any of the characters. Endings are questionable.

    You still can't skip the damn cutscenes.

    Finally that "hold e to interact" is gone. You can do most of the actions by just pressing e! Looting animation is also removed, which is a nice change. I was tired of seeing the same animation for every body I loot.

    AI is terrible.

    Not enough weapons and most are copy of each other.

    It is just baseball bat and shovel now. Shovel is fun but still there should've been knives. Takedowns doesn't feel brutal enough.

    Vehicle takedown, for some reason is removed.

    Crafting is removed. You can only sell animal skin. Hunting and crafting is one of the classic far cry things. It is dumbed down here.

    To earn xp you need to kill enemies with certain weapons. I didn't like switching to weapon I don't want to use just to earn xp.

    There is always something happening on the map. You are just roaming and BOOM explosion. Can't relax for 2 minutes.

    Kidnapping gets tiring over time.

    Side missions are empty and not fun to do.

    Stealth mechanics don't work properly.

    Npc's that give you headache until you do their mission still exist.

    Not enough enemy variants.

    These prepper stash missions are really interesting and enjoyable. Hope this carries to fc6.

    Climb radio tower to unlock map is finally removed and I am happy for it. Now you unlock the map just by exploring.

    You can customize cars.

    Actual helicopters and planes are finally here.

    Some animations are faster and gameplay is refined.

    Gunplay is still great.

    If you can ignore the chaos happening behind you it can be relaxing and immersive. Especially when you are fishing.    … Expand

    Yes I have to say, whole missions is sucks but except a few. Story is amazing but missions is not have any relevance to main story. But game play is kinda similar to other fc series. I would give a 10/10 if the missions was nice. But its totally sh*t. And one more thing, THE TEAM MATES ARE RETARD. And arcade is so boring too.

    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 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

Finally, this game gets rid of the tower climbing and lets you discover missions organically which forces you to travel and discover the beautifully crafted county. Some rifles with scopes are simply OP. The worst part of the game is the protagonist himself. He is a mute, nameless, junior deputy that you waste your time customizing his looks at the beginning of the game but you never actually see him because it's an FPS game and the only time you see him is when he dies and the camera pans out. I don't get it when the studios create a mute character with no emotion and create such beautifully crafted NPCs and antagonists with their own amazing accent and drive in the campaign. Joseph Seed and his family are one hell of an antagonist. They are scary psychopaths with their own drive and motivation to get what they want. You are randomly kidnapped by the cult and taken to the Seed family even if you are in the middle of a side mission or near your allies. This gets very frustrating because it happens a lot of times.… Expand

    For me this game doesn't deserves below than 7 although the story is not effective enough like FC3 but this game seems to me like a reboot of FC2, like the FC2 both have deep story work behind them but not shocking at all but they both have good gameplay so give it a try for just the gameplay (and the soundtracks btw).

    Played this game on PC and PS4. I like story in game but it's my personal preference. The whole other game is awful. You will be constantly attacked by cultists, bears, wolfs, fish and all other species. Worth to play if you have this game from game pass or ps+ so you don't spend extra money. Also I hate this system where you need complete big amount not interesting missions for story.

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!

    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!
