    There is no significant improvement, but the fun of the series is enough...

    as huge fan of the series and as someone who stopped after the forth one far cry 6 was looking really good at fist glance and really looked and felt as if they combined both the third game and the forth game what i was left with is a blend just cause meme parody where you can literally walk with a minigun like doom guy and heal the most ridiculous injuries' with more ridiculous healingas huge fan of the series and as someone who stopped after the forth one far cry 6 was looking really good at fist glance and really looked and felt as if they combined both the third game and the forth game what i was left with is a blend just cause meme parody where you can literally walk with a minigun like doom guy and heal the most ridiculous injuries' with more ridiculous healing animations so as a far cry game this is the worst one yet but as a fun meme parody shooter its fun as hell most of the time i did dumb s@#$t like cock fights and shooting nukes from airplanes so yes the game is fun and yes it doesn't take it self very seriously but at the end of the day its far cry and the essence of far cry in this game is just non existent

    in conclusion although fun at times i really don't recommend far cry 6 maybe on a sale if you don't have anything else to play

    and my final score is a 6 out of 10

    Far Cry 6 offers most of the same. I have skipped Far Cry 5 but I played 2-3-4. The story was kind of your generic island dictator. The medical aspect of it put more variation into it.

The mission system gets boring because there is a lot of copy-paste. The most fun of them are the treasures hunts. Driving land vehicle/horse is a pain because of the very limited point of view. Flying is actually fun, exception of the planes weird controls. Sailing is a mix bag. Swimming is just difficult to enjoy. Interacting with the diverse characters in the three groups of guerilla is interesting, because they are so different from one another. The music is excellent. I especially like when your Dani is singing. Nice touch. RPG elements are often useless or not very deep. Like buiding stuff to reveal points on maps. The special operations were a gimmick for average stuff. I skipped cock fights (make me angry that's in the game). The Amigos seems funny at times, but were very hard to level up, and some always dying. The AI was abysmal often. It seems to work sometimes, but you always get an idiot AI doing nothing AI in front of you. So, I give the game 62%. The actors, the music were certainly fine (and kind of wasted). But overall surely not the best of the franchise. Expand

    So, like 10 comments in a row under me giving the game 0 because it has no italian subtitles... 0/10 because it's not italian but with english subtitles? What world do we live in where that is objective?

    On with the review.. I loved Far Cry 1, not so much 2, loved 3, 4th and found 5th to be decent and think this falls to decent. The villain is awesome but not evil enough, or not in a way where we can hate him or like him enough, we see way too little of him.

    They completely removed the crafting system which was a pretty strong addition to the other games in my opinion by getting more loot space, extra weapon slots, they even removed talent points which is a very odd choice. Finding where animal types were on the map and going there hunting them correctly and crafting what is essential as loot space, bigger wallet etc felt very satisfying.

    The starting was quite dull and chaotic at the island, think they could have done a much better job at introducing characters, combat and scenery-wise.

    The combat in the game is close to nonexistant on normal difficulty, buy/get a strong one shot rifle, slap on a silencer and you can take out a whole base/checkpoint in 10 seconds without anyone knowing what happened, kind of silly. Which makes me think they should have some leaders who are very superior like in The Division where you actually have to fight and use your tools.

    The map is pretty big, I though it was much larger at first but it feels about the same as the 5th, perhaps 20% larger, though much of it is ocean. There is a sht ton of collectibles all over which I am spending a lot of time on just to delay the story going to an end.

    The AI is perhaps more stupid than ever, if you ride/drive 10 meters next to them they start screaming and running although you are driving perfectly normal, and if you drive on the correct side of the road and move the steeringwheel ever so slightly towards them (before straighting up) they choose to drive to the other side of the road and collide, like every time.

    A thought I have is about the dialect, english mixed with what I assume is spanish dialect, at times is can become obnoxious, I think this was perhaps a problem in the 4th too, got a bad memory so could be wrong, but I wonder if it would just be better at the native language of the given place with english subs or just standard english if anything, I think it might just be some bad written lines or voiceacting making me feel that way because sometimes it works great too.

    The charcters are, some decent, some really bad ones, the main characters seem ok but most of the ones you meet in the 3 different "counties" are kinda boring. I think with very interesting cinematics and backstories in the 3-4-5 you got to know people and it was interesting characters while in the 6th they are just there, not much to it. Also way too much of a comedy tone to it, it's like in the middle of a war and people are cheering, joking around, swearing at everything, not a single one shed a tear, experienced trauma or something remotely interesting.

    If you know Far Cry this is just what to expect, I just hoped they would outdo themselves and the graphics are sometimes really impressive by the ocean, and sometimes you wonder if you are in Far Cry 2 back in the early 2000s on a 3070 gpu at ultra, muddy/unclear textures. Maybe the graphics engine got to go?

    I have now nearly done all side missions and collectibles so only the some of the main story left and I'm left with an empty feeling of everything just being a chore. I think the game is worth playing but this could easily have been Far Cry 4 instead of Far Cry 6 and thats worrysome in 2021. I think I would give it 6/6.5/10 and in comparison I think I would give the 3rd game 7/10, the 4th 7.5/10 and the 5th 6.5/10.

    I really really hope they choose a very interesting time or location next time and maybe many more cinematics like in the 4th and 5th which is what they are best at and have a gripping story where we run into the villain many times and maybe introduce choices again?

    Я фанат серии и пройти мимо шестой естественно не смог. И вот спустя несколько десятков часов и после заветной платины решил оставить отзыв - краткий и лаконичный.
    Все что касается визуальной части, сделано на отличном уровне. Безумно приятно перемещаться по миру яры и наслаждаться местными видами. То же самое касается и звуковой части.
    Однако часть касающаяся повествования - огромный минус. Несмотря на пару неплохих ходов, история в целом - это безумный цирк, в который ни на секунду не веришь. Начиная от их образов и заканчивая их поступками. Немалая часть дегтя в превращении некоторых элементов сюжет в элементы ММО.
    Центральная мысль прошлых частей - борьба главного героя с создавшимися незнакомыми ему условиями. В шестой же части разработчики прошли и мимо и окунули игрока в неубедительную историю революции страны третьего мира. Несмотря на свое тяжелое состояние, Яра географически больше схожа на серию ГТА, из-за чего сильно теряет свои корни.
    И вот беря во внимание вышеупомянутые минусы, не могу не отметить, что по итогу степень погружения сильно и сильно понижена.
    Люблю серию и не считаю шестой Far Cry провальной частью, но ей есть куда расти, пока она не окончательно потеряла свою линию

    Far Cry 6 isn't really like a Far Cry game at all. I mean, it's like a Ubisoft game (huge map, tons of things to collect, bases to liberate), but in many ways it owes a huge debt to the Just Cause series, and in particular Just Cause 3 (the best of the series).

    Once the initial launch day instabilities were dealt with the game settled down into the usual type of thing, but the changes were what stood out for me. The protagonist is vocal now (Just Cause style) and even pops into 3rd person when in home bases (Just Cause style) and landscape features can be destroyed to enhance reputation (Just Cause Style).
    What it lacks is the usual polish of the FC franchise, with some things feeling unfinished or undercooked, like the many things you can read scattered about the landscape, which remain active and readable after you have read them, and the many wild mission givers, again remaining active, calling your name after you've already taken the mission.
    There's a strong misogynistic streak running through the game, with equal numbers of fighters being female, and a trans man being played by, uh, a man!
    The basic plot is infuriatingly nonsensical. Add poison to tobacco to cure cancer, and enslave the population to farm it.
    The whole tone is brutal and dark, with little opportunity for fun.
    It looks pretty. I suppose.

    As my first Far Cry game, I enjoyed Far Cry 6, but it has some issues. Firstly the positive things.
    I really liked the main story, I could assosiate with Dani (the main character) and the side characters were interesting too. Anton is a great villain but he always spoke like a tipical bad guy.

    The graphics are stunning, especially the lighting.
    The weapon system is pretty good, but getting gunpowder is difficult in the early hours of the game.
    The quests are interesting, sometimes exciting, they hardly ever repeat. Liberating outposts and checkpoints are fun and not forced, this goes to the treasure hunts as well. Now the downsides.
    The AI have been improved since New Dawn, but it's still dumb af.
    The introduction of this RPG like clothing system is unnesecery and bad. It gets worse when you need to watch for the different ammo types which you can die from, but you can't see how much immunity do you have for each one.
    I didn't like the anti-aircraft sites too, because they block you from going from A to B in the air (with a vehicle). Bugs
    I only incountered one bug, where I didn't get the reward for a treasure hunt.

    Overall, Far Cry 6 is an enjoyable game which needs some polishing in the future.

    - Story is mediocre for a far cry game. Some characters are even just annoying, like these rappers
    - The big city is not an open world city like praised in the trailers. It is just a completely hostile zone
    - Balancing is bad. There is no reason to use anything but Armor penetrating rounds.
    - Bows are ok but you can not change your arrows anytime anymore
    - The only resource that really matters in the end is gunpowder. Everything else will be thrown at you

    Pros:
    - The world is beautiful, detailed and fun to explore
    - The gunplay feels good
    - The action is also solid

The bad guys are basically all snipers, I swear they don't miss and they are always behind cover 95% of the time. It's just boring and more of the same with nothing innovative.

    When I compare this game with Far Cry 3 for example, it is big downhill for sure and when I am playing this game for couple of hours, I often feel that I am wasting my time, I don't know why. It just feels too repetitive, but it is still fun to some point.

    Pizza guys should learn how to speak English. I am also not complaining that many games are not in my native language hahah...

    This game is really nothing special. I would say that I have mixed feeling about this, so that's why I will give it 4 points out of 10

I can't speak for all of the fans but I am willing to bet a year salary that when asked no far cry fan is going to say their favorite part of Far cry is looking through menus for hours making sure they have all the right ammo types and attachments on weapons, or strategically planning how they are going to take down an outpost. What I always loved about these game is the chaos aspect and how enemies would die if you shot them in the head. The fact that it took me six shots from a sniper rifle (3 in the head mind you) to take down a single soldier is the most ridiculously annoying thing ever. Am I missing something here? I mean wtf is this!? Seriously! The only thing I can think of is this game wasn't made for me and that's totally cool I can respect that but I have played the far cry since the original so I guess I had some expectations on what this game would be.

    The game is fun and engaging, but repetitive after a few hours. The main complaint I have is about the crashes. It crashes on PC pretty often when you open the menu and with the retarded no-save-file system it can happen you lose 20 min of your time because it crashes right at the end of a quest, which surprise-surprise you have to restart from the beginning after the crash.

First that you probably can notice it audio/visual part of the game it much better compared to previous part. Art style looks in the same way but overall chanchig of main theme really do good job as for me (dictator in small country compared to religion wars in some district in FC5). Gunplay feel good with ability to customize your weapons - many kind of attachments and also skins (yeah it ubisoft game so this game cant exist without all this microtransactions). Whats really big plus of this game that all this boring stuff that like ubisoft (avanposts, towers and more that you need to endless capture or destroying) now all this stuff has its own missions, compare to previous game when you got message somethig like "ok bro now to be able continue your story you need to capture or destoy 89% of all enemy buildings or wehicles" and the same thing you need to redo probably 3 times. As result if you wanna just play main quest you can rush it without any stops on "endless towers farming". Another funny aspect of gameplay is ability to drive tank and try to destroy enemy tank (so now you can play World Of Tanks in FarCry XD). Plot or story probably feel the same as for all previous part so nothing new its OK, yeah it contains some trans/black/strong women moments but it only 1/3 of overall stories (nowadays it can be much more so be happy that in this game it not 100% as TLOU2). Also plot contains one or two funny characters so not bad results as for me. In conclusion, I can say that this game is a little underrated, it feels similar to the previous parts, and in some aspects this game is a little better. So if you has some 20h of free time and friend that can play with you in coop mode (yeah full game can be completed in coop) so i recommend to try it, but try to get it on sale (save your money =D).

    It's an ok game, but it's worse than the last four Far Cry games. There's no incentive to take the map on foot, there's no reason to hunt and scavenge, and no reason to gather money like previous games. You can't buy things like ammo you can only connect it so what's the point

    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.
