    Giving it a 1 because of the cute dog. Other than that the game is made by ubisoft so it's a piece of junk

    Another boring game from ubisoft...
    Bugs, once time I couldn't run the game
    Boring story
    Dumb AI
    No revolution
    Bad main character
    Same game as Far cry 5 but with different story and map, not worth buying

    It's like they took everything I loved about Far Cry 5 and removed it. They literally took all the creativity of customizing your character and made it so where you have to wear something you wouldn't even choose to wear in order to obtain an ability?

The spontaneous moments that happen along the way towards a mission are practically gone. You are forced go through a storyline no one cares about. All the things everyone complained in past about they have done in this game and double down on it. Adding RPG elements to a game like this was one of the worst decisions you could have ever made. I don't know what you've done to my beloved Far Cry but it literally was the only Far Cry I couldn't finish… Expand

    Let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of the Far Cry series. Far Cry Primal was maybe the most underrated game of the franchise and both that and FC 5 were probably my favs. Also loved 3 and 4.

    But Far Cry 6 is just bad. It's bad because: - The story line sucks. The Viva Libertard plot line is the most boring vanilla thing I've ever experienced.

    But Far Cry 6 is just bad.

    It's bad because:

    - The story line sucks. The Viva Libertard plot line is the most boring vanilla thing I've ever experienced. It literally seemed like they hired an intern out of writing school and said "Ok now write us a plot that is Cuban rebellion themed." And this is what they came up with.

    - Characters were horrible, boring, and forgettable. Generic Che Guevara manual written woke amateur written dip ****

    - Supremo. Need I say more? What moron thought this one up? Let's stick the character with the most OP piece of equipment ever conceived right out the gates! Homing rockets that one shot anything! Yea!

    - Forced 3rd person in bases and cut scenes breaking the iconic immersion that Far Cry has always been known for. This is actually arguably the greatest offense of all in my opinion. Need to understand? Go back and play Far Cry 2-5 and then try playing Far Cry 6 again. The immersion breaking scenes are jarring and they ruin the experience.

    - Bug ridden to all hell. Don't even bother trying to play coop with your friends. No one will want to play coop with you when the person who isn't the host literally can't even access most of the NPCs and vendors, and doesn't access the special equipment like the wingsuit. Not to mention the thousands of other bugs I experienced. Oh btw both characters literally look exactly the same at all times because they removed character customization.

    - They removed character customization. Yet another downgrade to the game.

    - The list could literally go on for hours.    … Expand

    The optimization in the game is very bad, and bugs are almost everywhere.
    As an example: I fell under the map 10 times, animations sometimes break and recently all models disappeared.

    I signed up for a believable story about desperate people trying to survive every day in oppression while trying not to be killed for no reason at all, and eventually bring down the rule of a ruthless dictator, and free their country once and for all.

    Instead, I got garbage that's been recycling for almost 10 years where the only originality is in the worst kind of corporate tryhard humor that I believe only Ubisoft is capable of that absolutely nobody can relate to. No one wants to spray water towers with the name of a BDSM rooster, so he could be your companion. No one wants the main mission objective to be collecting vegetables for a vegan so she could enjoy her BBQ party. And all that while carrying a huge absurd backpack all over your back that shoots rockets, which is also probably the worst thing Ubisoft ever put in their game.

    Seeing all those modern "problems" projected in a game like this and spending 10 hours trying to enjoy it, but not being able to because of how annoying it is, was most likely the worst gaming experience I had this year.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ubisoft needs to get back to making video games instead of creating political and social biased content. FarCry 6 is such a departure from previous games and contains sickening WOKE values instead of providing an entertaining shooter. "Get woke, go broke!" has proved to be a valid slogan used by sane individuals to describe the movies, video games, and other media and has proven that these social experiments are failing, just as is the movement.

    The fact that the vast majority of "bosses" in a violent crime-ridden country are female is just another example of wokeness that needs to be removed from gaming. Sure, women can be tough and mean and all that, but it is a known fact that men are generally the more violent of the sexes and more likely to lead these criminal gangs. I also do not want to do a mission is a game where I have to help a transsexual character get a surgical procedure so they can feel good about themselves (until they likely commit suicide). This is not my idea of a fun game.

    I will be watching Ubisoft games very closely now and will no longer buy games that are infected the way FarCry 6 is. I say this as someone who owns over 40 Ubisoft titles at present.    … Expand

    The game is just bad. There is not one, but four currency systems. One is geared toward micro-transactions, or pay to win. The re-spawn rate is way too high. Stay in one area for an hour and you end up raking in an endless supply XP. A large portion of my XP was through blowing up cars and not by going on missions. If you you want to fly a helicopter you need a game-pad.

    PS5 version of the game has crashed 2 times so farand has the typical trade mark of Ubi Soft titles (Glitches etc). Graphically it is lacking for a next generation title, not what I was expecting. Avoid its just dissapointing.

    1. "The Division" crap, bullet sponge enemies, gear levels and grinding fest.
    2. in restricted areas outside of a mission mainly, enemies keep spawning while you are at it, its not like you clear the area and come back for them to respawn, they keep spawning while clearing the area, you cannot liberate the area and get rid of enemies for good, only checkpoints are cleared and taken, but other areas will still be restricted even if you cleared it.
    3. no skills, now its up to the gear you are wearing, lets say you need bullet proof endurance, you have to equip a crap that has this option, but you need fire endurance as well, then you need to equip another gear for it, so you cannot have both, you can measure this behavior on stamina, health and so on.
    4. as stated in first point about "The Division" crap, enemies have levels, even their vehicles have levels too, if you are below enemy level and shot a helicopter, enemy, tank,... with an RPG, it will be a walk in the park, no actual damage or minimal damage is done.
    5. vehicles are not unlocked by clearing camps/checkpoints, you have to steal it and ride it to any base location that have vehicles call support for it to be unlocked for you
    6. chests everywhere, the grinding in this game is extreme.
    7. Detection system (Enemy AI) is so bad, but well its the same with every Ubi game.

    those are the main issues with the game, i hated FC:New Dawn because it had somehow similar mechanics and many players complained about it, instead of making FC 6 better, they went full scale with the same crap with it.

    Message to Ubisht: STOP STUFFING "THE DIVISION" CRAP INTO EVERY DAMN GAME, its not fun, it doesnt work and you are ruining good games, i know you are obsessed with The Witcher 3 and want to copy it in every game until you get a hit but you are doing it wrong and like idiots with every game, you dont have to change the whole game play mechanics for people to buy the game, the most important part of the game is the story and plot, then a dynamic world with fun activities and not a repetition of the same missions, and last IF IT AINT BROKEN, DONT FIX IT!!!!!    … 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.
