    I'm generally OK with the level of padding that Ubisoft put's into a lot of their games but this is too much. Nothing about this game feels refined enough to feel good. The AI is extremely basic and weird, they spawn right behind you all the time. It's like if you took a **** far cry game and mashed it up with a serious sam game, and not in a good way.

    this game is incredibly easy

    what I most liked in FC was finding ways to enter places and kill enemies in stealth, but in the middle of this game I had already reached the highest level, so I could kill EVERY enemy with just one shot. 70% of the gameplay for me was shooting heads with my silenced rifle. every mission is the same: go to some place, kill everyone easily with you one

    every mission is the same: go to some place, kill everyone easily with you one shot rifle, and rescue someone you won't remember after 5 minutes

    bad and non memorable ending, Castillo does random evil things with no reason, just because "he is the villain, and villains do evil things"

    the DLCs are stupid

    The ranking system is ****! Role-playing elements are out of place for this game. Everything became even more confusing and complex, sometimes you don't understand what to do. Closer to the middle of the game, you begin to sincerely sympathize with Anton, who is opposed to the idiot anarchists! And only graphics and a huge world pleases. It's just some kind of **** up, I did not expect such garbage from Ubisoft.
    3 out of 10, such a high rating is only out of respect for the series

    I almost knew I would be disappointed prior to buying, but still bought it and hate myself for it. Now I have wasted money and contributed to that the next game in the franchise will be yet another cash grab copy of previous games.

    Man, where to start... in short they add so many unnecessary things to the game while doing a very lazy/poor job on the immersion factor, characters and the story.

    - The characters in the game are so extremely forgettable, unrelatable and out of touch with what's going on. It's about overthrowing a dictator which is a serious thing, yet we get these ridiculous allies less mature than my kids - totally breaks immersion.
    - The side content stuff has all been done before in previous games. Copy paste.
    - There are too many ammo types - I don't need poison and fire rounds for example. it just complicates things without reason.
    - The resource system is unnecessarily confusing. Why do I need to gather meds, gasoline, metal, gunpowder, yaran pesos etc etc... it's enough with 1 resource + money. Complicating things just for the sake of it serves no purpose.
    - Skill trees were removed which I don't understand. I want to start out being weak, then "earning" skills by playing the game.
    - The RPG mechanics with leveling system and weapon quality does not fit a Far Cry game in my opinion. I also don't want to have to think about using the right ammo type for all enemies I'm facing. Not realistic and breaks immersion.
    - I don't believe in the goal I'm fighting for. Like, one **** dictator to be replaced by the **** head maniacs on my side while also destroying the anti-cancer plants in the process? It's not a positive trade.
    - Main character is unrelatable.
    -AI is **** but they have aimbot

    Gets a 3/10 just because it looks kinda good and Gus is in it.

    For the next title, they have to take a serious look at what made Far Cry 3 so good, and take inspiration from that. Good villain, character was relatable because he was out of place but had to adapt to a crazy new situation. Good upgrade path, great story and obviously it felt fresh.

    What's the definition of a Ubisoft game - Releasing the same game over and over again and expecting people to be amazed by them.

    It's just another Ubisoft game. It's the same game we've been playing for the past 9 years. Far Cry 6 is almost a carbon copy of Far Cry 5 with a different setting and a slightly better structured story missions. I'm just so tired of the Ubisoft open world

While I don't think Far Cry 6 is a BAD game, because calling Far Cry 6 a bad game means calling Far Cry 3 a bad game. It's just so similiar to it. The reason for the low score is that Ubisoft thinks that they can release the same game they made in 2012. it's just so uncreative, unoriginal, uninspired.

    You always do the same. There is no need anymore to hunt, do side missions. Nothing makes a difference. It's just a boring gameplay loop with almost no real story. Also it makes no difference with which "Area" you start. Nothing that you do affects anyone or makes any difference.

    -AI on NPC's are the worst in this game. It feels like playing Morrowind all over again. Especially NPC'S that ride horses are funny as hell. They either stuck in wilds or breaking stuff around you with it.

    -Cinematics are locked at 30FPS and animations looks bad. There is no lip sync in cinematics. 2015's The Witcher 3 has like 200 hours gameplay and still never have this issue even with conversation scenes.

    -Story is not much and gameplay is still the same Far Cry just capture bases, raise your ranks and finally kill the main villain.

    -Also there is way too much politics in the game. Wish they focused on story instead of trying to look politically correct.

    Sad but true Far Cry 6 is nearly worst in the franchise. Its just a time killer. If you have nothing to play and wanna spend some time on gaming buy it. Or else stay away from it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Far Cry 6 is a step down from Far Cry 5, somehow they managed to make it worse than previous installments, the game has no charm apart from maybe Anton Castillo and maybe Diego, you barely interact with them anyway, so that isn't really enough to make this game good.
    The prologue is soooo good, I wish they made the whole game have the same feeling. You start with your friend Lita and Alejo (who get's shot after about two lines of dialogue), and you have to make your escape from Esperanza, this part of the game was so fun, you would feel terified, there was nothing you could do but run and hide through the sewers of the city. Esperanza feels like a vibrant city, full of culture and memorable people, only to be bullied by Castillo's military force. However, the feeling is gone once you finish the prologue, because Esperanza is literally empty in game except for scripted events, there's like two missions which send you to esperanza, and it's completely empty, the one where you storm Castillo's speech at the hotel, and the final mission, the only people you see other than those two missions are military, which of course are hostile towards Dani.
    Soon after the prologue, you meet Carla, which is a somewhat well written character, you can feel attached to her and her cause, only because she's on screen for 5 minutes for the whole game, yeah. You see her at the start, before departing to "unite" all the guerilla factions in Yara, and she only shows up once you convinced all the factions to join Libertad. She is there for a few cutscenes, nothing more, her story is somewhat tragic, but we don't interact with her enough to feel sad or anything, I just felt dissapointed when her story tragically ended.
    After meeting Clara, you meet Juan, which the writers tried to make the funny guy, however he didn't really strike me as much, sometimes he's funny, sometimes he's just annoying, however that's probably just my opinion, one of my friends likes him, so there's that. He's memorable, probably the second or third most memorable character in this game.
    The story slowly advances as you "free" more of Yara, by free I mean you take out checkpoints and 20 FND outposts, they are the same as outposts in older games. The only reason you would go out of your way to clear the checkpoints is to deal with the road spikes, because, once you free them, the military presence in the area remains the same, some even use the checkpoint you just liberated, that has blue flags with "Libertad" written all over them, this shouldn't be a surprise, seeing as the AI in Far Cry has always been horrible, there's also random events with AI but they are really dumb, like, there's a car that's broken down on the side of the road with a couple bystanders, you can get 20 Yaran Pesos if you repair it for them, however, once you aproach them with your car the NPCs will get scared and run, even if you drive slow.
    There are 3 (or maybe 4 if you want to count them like that) factions that will join Libertad, Monteros, Maximas Matanzas, Legends of '67 and La moral which share the same territory and join at the same time so you don't really have to go out of your way to make them join. Now, I fell as all of them ar well written, except for some characters, except for the Monteros, they have their good points in the story, but there's a mission when you're supposed to kill Jose Castillo (Anton's nephew) and, he wants to hang Alejandro Montero for whatever reason, I guess he just woke up and decided to do that, he was a scientist for them before but I guess he is getting hanged now, and at his hanging, his father rides on a horse, and cuts his noose with a machete, and he notices that Alejandro has a C4 strapped to his hands, and he then proceeds to cut the C4 loose from him, throw Alejandro of the horse, and ride away with the C4 and "die heroically". Like... what? It would've been easier to just throw the C4 away. They just wanted to create some drama I guess. Maximas Matanzas are pretty well written and I like Paulo and Paz, Talia is a little crazy but she's still a great character, you also meet Bembe, which is a good character, a little crazy, but he makes sense at times. Same goes with the Legends of '67, and the death of El Tigre and Jonron actually felt sad.
    But the ending was the biggest letdown of the whole game, you find out from Juan that Carla has accepted to meet with Castillo, he told her the war was over, he was dying of Leukemia, and that there's no more reason for war. You and Juan have to storm Isla de Leon, Castillo's Private Island to have a chat with him. You sit down with them at the table, some forgettable dialogue, and then Juan wants to shoot Diego, you save him, and Anton kills Carla. Big sad. I guess, you then storm Esperanza with Libertad and all the friends you made along the way, but you don't get to kill Castillo, as he kills Diego and then kills himself. Really dissapointing that Giancarlo Esposito played in such a story.

    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.
