    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You need to play for the dregs of society LGBT, transgender, feminist, vegan and other trash. And their point of view is ridiculously imposed on you, exposing their ideals as the norm. I'd love to help Castillo clean out this barn. The gameplay itself has become much worse than in part 5.… Expand

    A bit grindy, and I do not like how enemies spawn randomly near you, making it impossible to play tactically. The weapons also are tuned for action, not stealth of tectical gameplay. A sniper rifle that doesnt kill people with a clean shot to the head? I also got many crashes while playing. But in general, it is what any Far Cry fan would expect and I enjoyed it so far.

    The game is just a spit in the face of the players. Boring monotonous missions, enemies appearing out of nowhere, pixel textures.

    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.    … Expand

    Начнём с NPC - по уровню развития можно сравнить со второй CoD (даже в первой Halo были намного разумнее)
    По началу я старался не обращать внимания на музыку, это же вкусовщина и всё такое. Но уже через 10-12 часов игры она просто начинает выбешивать своей навязчивостью и однообразием. Даже при том условии, что я    Купил, чтобы пройти на 100% за отпуск, но через силу добил сюжет и удалил

    По началу я старался не обращать внимания на музыку, это же вкусовщина и всё такое. Но уже через 10-12 часов игры она просто начинает выбешивать своей навязчивостью и однообразием. Даже при том условии, что я выключил её в настройках, она всё равно играет в миссиях и моментами на фоне
    Квесты максимально однообразны и в 80% случаев вам предстоит перестрелять какое-то кол-во охранников и украсть/уничтожить какой-то объект. Но тут и всплывает проблема тупых NPC - по стелсу, который постоянно навязывает разработчик, проходить скучно, а в открытую слишком просто даже на втором уровне сложности (их тут кстати всего два. Сюда же приписываю и сюжетные квесты - они настолько же слабо проработаны, иногда даже разницы не замечаешь между побочкой и мэйн квестами
    И тут мы приходим к сюжету. Скажу честно, я нейтрально относился к всякого рода меньшинствам. В общем соблюдал солидарность. Но вашу мать, эта нарочитая повестка настолько беспринципно проталкивается играми и прочим медиа в мою повседневность, в которой она нафиг не сдалась, что у меня заканчивается терпение. И ладно ещё, если бы этих персонажей с повесткой головного мозга было всего пара-тройка, но они составляют буквально 60-70% твоих союзников, а оставшиеся 30% жестко ими критикуются без всякой на то причины внутри контекста самой игры. И пускай их было бы столь много с хорошей проработкой, но нет, они существуют внутри игры буквально ради провокации. Вы не встретите здесь персонажей с сильным бэком, понятной мотивацией или сильными и подкованными убеждениями. Никто из них не вызывает чувства уважения за время игры, а банда школьников вообще смотрятся максимально нелепо. Из-за всех этих моментов в сюжет просто не верится, особенно когда смотришь на главного "злодея" истории, который выполнен на удивление добротно, чего не скажешь об его приспешниках, которых можно охарактеризовать только "фриками" как и собственных союзников за редким исключением.
    Теперь к визуалу - многие анимации остались ещё с третьей части, что выглядит уже скорее кринжово. В целом такое ощущение, будто графика не улучшалась с момента выхода четвёртой части. Есть красивые пейзажи, но только ради них в игре не особо хочется задерживаться. Размеры карты пошли только в минус, так как тут и без того хватает затягивающих (в плохом смысле) факторов помимо неё
    В общем из-за всех этих моментов я не могу порекомендовать эту игру как фанатам Far Cry, так и новым игрокам - она скучная, а во многих моментах даже раздражает или разочаровывает. Своих денег не стоит, советую дождаться скидок если будет совсем нечем заняться    … Expand

This franchise is a good time, it's enjoyable, and it's fun, and it's well worth the $60. The fact that this instalment in particular is written so well is just the cherry on top. Props to the writers for making a game deeply political using real subtlety instead of shoving their ideals in your face, as well as responsible LGBTQ representation, and not to mention the track of licensed songs that are all fantastic and the massive improvement over FC5 in animations and graphical detail.… Expand

Balancing the identity of the work with the identity of the franchise is a fine line, but I believe UbiToronto did a pretty bang up job in this. I am biased in favour of the Far Cry series, that should definitely be stated, however, I won't heap unearned praise on a work simply because I like the franchise.

    I had little to no game breaking or otherwise immersion breaking bugs. There is certainly still some performance being left behind due to poor optimization, and if they don't fix it, that will be frustrating. AAA games should be well optimized on release.

    The main thing I wanted to write this review to say: this game is, in fact, exactly what the haters claim it is not, which is to say a very thoughtful development of the core idea of the franchise. Yara as a locale works great to develop intrigue, and the pseudo-Cuban history is compelling and interesting. Playing as female Dani, I'm very impressed with the voice actor, and I have rarely heard another character talk and be taken out of the moment. Gameplay wise, the shooting is still very good, the vehicles are fun, if a bit silly, and the other mechanics around base building and item collection are novel, if not always super compelling. Many of the foundational aspects of the series have been remodelled here, and pretty much across the board in interesting and fun ways. The soundtrack is also the best I can remember for this series.

    I will also note a strong majority of the low scores came out incredibly quickly after the game launched and seem to have had little to no actual experience with the game, or were disappointed about a lack of localization. I don't know about you, dear reader, but that doesn't really seem like a 3.8 worthy review situation to me.

    TL,DR; its good. Its probably the best refinement of the formula to-date. Everything that makes these games good/fun is here and boosted. If you're worn out on FC games, then like, don't play FC games.    … Expand

This is the most disgusting part in the whole Far cry series! I think that the developer should stop releasing the series called Far Cry altogether, since your fantasy scenarios have exhausted your common sense!

It's a sign of the times that programmers simply don't give a damn about game optimization before the release and just dump it all on the hardware - causing glitches and subpar quality even on high-end PCs.

    The game demands 12GB of VRAM to handle HD textures. Nowhere before the release has Ubisoft mentioned it as a requirement, not even for 4k gaming in Ultra. It also hasn't mentioned that if you don't own the suitable hardware the game will look like it belongs in a different age - and not one in the future but rather somewhere around mid-2000s.

    What transpires is a whole mountain of bugs on high-end GPUs - like, lo and behold, Nvidia's RTX 3080, 3070 or 3060Ti. Was it a deliberate attempt to nerf the game on NV cards, as Ubisoft works with AMD? No idea, but it sure has made it look like it's 2005 again.

    (Although some people are reporting similar issues even without the HD pack).

    Not that poor resolution makes performance any better. The game looks worse than, actually, any of the past three FC games - but runs at lower FPS than they do.

    With 5600x, RTX 3080 and 64GB of RAM you can get 50-60fps in 4k - a drop of 50-60% vs. FarCry 5, which clocked around 80 to 100fps and looked better than FC6 does. It also suffers from occasional lags and drops in performance, regardless of what's going on on the screen - and not even taxing the hardware, as my temps and fan speeds are all normal. Out of the blue it drops to 10fps, adding to already poor first impressions.

    You're getting a terrible performance hit without any demonstrable benefits in visual quality - and it many ways the game actually looks worse, even when it runs at decent speeds.

    Some bugs could be excused, of course, as games typically encounter hiccups upon release - but here we're not talking about a ground-breaking new game (like Cyberpunk) but a title that is a fourth installment in 10 years and has inherited much of the previous games' mechanics and even graphics.

    When running around the tropical landscapes does it really feel all that markedly different from even FarCry 3 launched in 2012? Not to me. I don't see a decade of game development in this title. Instead, it looks like a cheap, half-baked, rushed knock-off released to milk the franchise that millions will quickly snap up just because of the name.

    I might update my review when - and if - the performance is optimized and all of the glitches are fixed. But at this point there's just too many of them for an enjoyable gaming experience.    … 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.
