    Game is reasonably good. I don't know why the low scores. All i can say is I bought it when it was released but initially didn't like it much. Only started playing it this December and once you give it some time, it opens up pretty nicely.

    A lot of elements from Far Cry 5 were brought into this game. Nice to see a crafting system introduced in the game though with weapons - gives a purpose to deeply look through certain enemy areas. Enemy battles don't seem "authentic," take bullets like water soaks into a sponge.

    Far Cry 6 is a shooter that develops its campaign on the fictional island of Yara, an exotic place with similarities to Cuba and with an unscrupulous dictator named Anton Castillo.

    We put on the skin of Dani Rojas and right from the start we have the choice between a female or male character, both well developed in terms of acting and their lines. Against our will we get involved    Far Cry 6 is a shooter that develops its campaign on the fictional island of Yara, an exotic place with similarities to Cuba and with an unscrupulous dictator named Anton Castillo.

    We put on the skin of Dani Rojas and right from the start we have the choice between a female or male character, both well developed in terms of acting and their lines.

    Against our will we get involved with a group of guerrillas after a failed attempt to escape from the island that is being increasingly dominated by its leader, and in the streets we hear gunshots, screams, and cries of despair, which are mixed with the sounds of partying, music, and propaganda.
    In fact, if there is one sound that stands out, it is the propaganda that we hear throughout our adventures and that becomes ingrained in our ears.

    It can be said that the whole narrative is well put together, whether through powerful and meaningful cutscenes, deep conversations between characters, or details scattered around the map.
    It's impossible not to notice the importance of the role that our character will play, establishing itself as a crucial part of the narrative, as for example when helping the Libertad guerrillas to recruit key pieces for the revolution and taking down the main transigents of the current power.

    I felt that the secondary characters on the side of good had good screen time to create connections with them and understand their motives and what they believe in, although some of them are extremely caricaturised, but I must admit that never to the point of becoming unrealistic. On the other side, their evil counterparts sometimes lacked the relevance necessary to make them iconic, perhaps to enhance the brilliant performance of Giancarlo Esposito as the villain of the story, we can say that he really is a villain in the image of Far Cry, the only improvement would be just to give him a little more air time.
    On the other hand what didn't need more time were the main missions, I felt the game dragged a little more than necessary making some of the missions near the end seem a little repetitive.

    Still this detail doesn't detract from the overall experience.
    The gunplay is excellent! Fun and with a huge range of weapons to try, and through a crafting system we have access to various accessories, including different ammunition for various situations, adding to this we have the Supremos that are nothing less than backpacks, each with a special power, for example one that launches missiles at enemies, one that heals and lets us revive, among others of equal importance.

    In terms of movement we are introduced to guerrilla trails, these trails are paths off the main streets laid out by former guerrillas to facilitate the mobility and possible ambushes, moreover there is a wide selection of means of land transportation, air transportation and sea transportation, which can be accessed in multiple camps.
    In the main camps we can also access various stores that can be upgraded by collecting materials that we gather throughout our journey, but materials are not all we can find on the road, since there is a giant choice of clothing and accessories that are only available when found, each outfit providing buffs or different stats to the player, this, added to the various side missions, zone achievements, treasure hunts and mini-games provides content for hundreds of hours.
    All this exploration can be done in co-op mode by joining a friend's campaign for extra fun, not that you need a friend to eliminate enemies since the artificial intelligence is one of the worst I have ever seen in a game of this quality which creates completely ridiculous moments in gameplay.
    Other than that, the contact with bugs was minimal, only what is expected for a world as big as Yara's.

    On the art side, the game managed to perfectly capture the feeling of the exotic island, with beautiful landscapes and a gorgeous color palette. Over and over again I found myself simply noticing the details of nature and its animals.
    The sound of the weapons is satisfying, as is that of the explosions and other events during combat. The same can be said for the perfectly chosen soundtrack.

    We can not end this review without talking about our beloved animals that always accompany us for each mission or walk and that remain useful from beginning to end of the game in the most diverse situations.

    The feeling that remains in Far Cry 6, is that it does not depart from the formula of past titles in the franchise and that's not exactly a bad thing, The game managed to improve the aspects that needed improvement, while still providing a phenomenal story and a remarkable experience.    … Expand

    Far Cry 6 is bringing a brand new setup in a well known franchise. As someone who always liked the Far Cry formula, Far Cry 6 is the most advanced, polished world ever built in this franchise. The map is massive, the world is gorgeous.

    While the formula is kept - a FPS / shooter in an open world - there are some nice additions: the heat system is well aligned with the narrative: the    Far Cry 6 is bringing a brand new setup in a well known franchise. As someone who always liked the Far Cry formula, Far Cry 6 is the most advanced, polished world ever built in this franchise. The map is massive, the world is gorgeous.

    While the formula is kept - a FPS / shooter in an open world - there are some nice additions: the heat system is well aligned with the narrative: the Republic of Yara (the map, the game basically) is run by forces that drive constantly. You meet them in different occasion, roaming on the map, but contrary to the other Far Cry, if you keep your weapon in your holster and behave correctly, they will treat you like a random citizen. That's more strategy and stealth added to the Far Cry concept. It's very fun to keep low profile while walking beside a tank patrolling. Knowing that you are going to a position where you are going to join the rebels for an attack. The developers have really created something unique here that we did not have previously. That makes the world lively and full of surprises.

    Other innovation, there are more diverse opponents, with different skill sets symbolized by icons on top of them. That's in line with the new ammunition management. Some opponents will require stronger or different types of ammunition.

    The gunplay is as good as any other Far Cry, with a large range of weapons, from guns to shotguns, to snipers, long-rifles to rocket launchers, ... But you get them by finding them in special locations, not anymore dropped by opponents. You also get all the cars, choppers, planes, boats, you can imagine as usual. Even horses now. The art direction is a strength in this game, delivering a very Latino atmosphere, with large landscapes, islands, the biggest urban environments in any Far Cry, and strong music as usual. The rain for example is beautifully integrated in the Caribbean environment, both sounds and visuals. It runs at a perfect 60 frames per second on max details at 1080p on a Ryzen 9 (4th gen) + RTX 2060.

    The story unfolds nicely with different characters per region, while you - the player - is waiting for the dictator, Castillo, to reveal itself, on a territory, the city of Esperanza, that is the most difficult location on the map, rated 9, on a scale from 1 to 9.

    I could go on and on describing the 6th game in the serie. It's a beautifully crafted FPS dedicated to solo players. In my book, this is one of the best Ubisoft productions. Also the longest Far Cry. It has become one of my favorite open world, FPS games.    … Expand

    Far Cry finally got rid of the most annoying bits (like the infamous towers), but that’s pretty much the extent of the series’ progress. Far Cry 6 doesn’t improve on the core concept in any way. Still, all the expected mechanics work as advertised and keep the game above the line.

    Far Cry 6 is a work that strives for progress while maintaining stability. There are ancestral gameplays of the series that have not been outdated, and some system optimizations and improvements that keep pace with the times. In general, it is still a familiar formula and a familiar taste.

    Upon reaching the end of this review, I’ve come away with a revelation. Yes, Far Cry 6 is the accumulated chemical detritus from years of similar lab experiments, layered and stratified, compounded with time and pressure. But it isn’t a catalyst. I am. I played Far Cry 6 to completion: I pressed buttons to shoot guns and progress the plot; I killed an inordinate number of animals to buy upgrades; I equipped new pairs of pants to make myself stealthier. And at the end of it all, I felt nothing. I was unchanged by the experience.
