    Vaas: Insanity is an excellent first DLC for Far Cry 6. The look into the chaos of Vaas’ mind is a really interesting one, and the gameplay loop is as intriguing as it is challenging. It can be fun solo or with friends, and is absolutely worth taking the time to check out.

    Far Cry 6 Vaas: Insanity sees Ubisoft tackle the roguelike genre, allowing players to play as the iconic villain in a great expansion.

    This is a great starting point to the trio of DLCs Far Cry 6 is about to get. While Far Cry 6 focused on improving on an old format, Far Cry 3 managed to give us something refreshing.

    Rather than continuing the story of guerillas in Yara, Far Cry 6 Vaas: Insanity offers a tight little roguelite centered on the villain of Far Cry 3. Stripping the franchise down to its core of exploration and shooting, this DLC could stand alone as its own small but satisfying game.

    We must recognize the first great DLC of Far Cry 6 the effort to offer something different, and from the eyes of one of its most remembered villains. The roguelite mechanics fit well, although it may not appeal to everyone due to the repetition and difficulty. Its small world and little variety of situations make it feel like a missed opportunity.

    Far Cry 6 Vaas: Insanity provides a deeper and more nuanced look at a troubled character. Unfortunately, it has a fairly restrictive rogue-lite system if you're pressed for time. Worse, there's not a lot to look forward to after your initial clear.

    All in all, Vaas: Insanity paves the way for some stellar downloadable content for Far Cry 6 that is already more conceptually interesting than anything in Far Cry 5. Vaas' experience, while perhaps telling us a little bit too much about the ambiguous villain, co-opts the idea of a rogue-like competently to offer a new twist on the formula, but lead by a familiar face.

    Took two and a half hours to finish. What a waste of money...

It's Ubisoft's first try at a rouge-like and they did an ok job. Pretty ok overall but don't buy it if you are not deeply into VAAS as a character… Full Review »

You can rush through this DLC rogue-lite or you can complete it and savour the moment. The gun-play is tight and the enemy AI flanks well and can present a challenge. I needed to upgrade my pistol skillz quite a bit, but that was a nice challenge. Weapons are quite limited and this moved me away from my usual loadout, so it was fresh and new.
    It's a very well crafted map, visually impressive, lots of Z-axis.
    I had a few quibbles with VAAS's characterisation. He is a bit repetitive, ugly, twisted, unimaginative. I liked the original VAAS more. But I didn't come for the story. I came for challenging game-play. And anyway, it all looked very pretty.    … Full Review »
