    Same engine, same physics, inferior to previous title graphics. Less content than in previous title. The only character customization is in its gear. Gear is tightly coupled with in-game store.
    Verdict: Boring, lifeless and outdated.

    I palyed it as a fc3 remake with some new ideas in it, not so much inovations there, that's a shame, but still a fun game even it's not a great game.

    Okey so it's not a rly big step from far cry 5 - but the game itself is awesome. The atmosphere is epic just like the villain (Giancarlo Esposito always stealin the scene from breaking bad to now). There are some stupid lmbtq charathers but still, i fkin love this game.

    Pros:It’s always fun to free outposts
    Cons:The character talks and also way too much.
    Way too many cutscenes and they are also in 3 person wtf

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Farcry was my absolute favorite gaming franchises i loved every one up until now. The third person cut scenes take away from what farcry was i played through and beat the hole game and didn't unlock or even get close enough cash to buy a good weapon i wanted. The game was constantly freezing and crashing i was playing on Xbox one s and the animal allies pretty much do nothing but get in the way i was very mad about what one of my favorite games has turned into i did like how you can pic your character tho but i completely regret buying this game and im a little disappointed that i waited for a new farcry just to get this.the story was good tho but a little short also… Expand

    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?    … Expand

    While not the most original in the series, it executes the formula very well. The island setting is pretty to look at and there's no shortage of secrets to find.

    Really loving the Farcry and AC series, but the latest FC installments is just a copy and paste, i really hope they get more inspiration with the next AC and FC game. It is not a bad game, but when you play the game its like you all ready played it, just a new world with story .

    It is basically a DLC for the farcry 5. Everything is the same, just more.
    Many of the game mechanics is just lazy and heavily scripted. Enemies respawning constantly and there are many areas in the game where it simply happens endlessly. You just turn your back and the whole scripted scenes like guards with prisoners respawn behind you immediately, on an isolated area. Super cheap.    It is basically a DLC for the farcry 5.

    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.
