    A slice of colorful **** with a pink burp. I hope that the development vector of this game series will return to parts 2 and 3. This garbage is not even worthy of a torrent!

    The game is absolutely gorgeous. The environment is vibrant and spacious, the animations are smooth and clean, and the voice acting is good too.

    But it's just not fun. The missions feel pointless, the story is way too linear, and it's just not enjoyable to play.

    I wanted to like it because it looks so good, but if it's not fun, then what's the point?

    İlk başlarda keyifli olacak gibiydi ancak üssümüzü geliştirmek için yan görevden bile kalitesiz ana görevler iteleyince oyun boka sardı. Hikaye sunumu rezalet ötesi. 5'te var olan bazı şeyler kaldırılmış. Gerçekten kötü oyun yapmak için emek sarf etmişler.

    This game is total rubbish, ever since FC3 this series has gone down the toilet and this is the worst yet. Weak lazy story, weak characters. Dialogue is cringe-worthy at the best of times and adds very little to the story. Way too much talking and following people. The "altered state of mind" scenes were boring after FC4 so why keep adding them in the game.

    Is this really what Far Cry has come to? Wtf happened?

    Positives: - Good graphics Negatives: - The game is horrendously unbalanced. Right around the 3rd last story mission. The difficulty ramps up 20 times. It's virtually impossible to beat the last 3 missions without the best weapons in the game. The gameplay is completely fine with basic weapons up until that point.

    Positives:

    - Good graphics

    Negatives:

    - The game is horrendously unbalanced. Right around the 3rd last story mission. The difficulty ramps up 20 times. It's virtually impossible to beat the last 3 missions without the best weapons in the game. The gameplay is completely fine with basic weapons up until that point. As a result, if you haven't been focusing on scavenging, you're forced to spend a lot of time scavenging just to get the best weapons to beat the last few missions. Severely broke the pace of the game for me.

    - When you finally fight the twins. They have so much health it's **** ridiculous. I can tolerate some exaggeration, but not this much. They can literally take 500 rockets, and not die. They are only human, THEY HAVE NO EDEN's GIFT or anything. HOW DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE??

    - recycled character personalities from Far Cry 5. Many of the characters spoke with such similar tones just with different character models.

    - Again, they didn't feature a protagonist. Putting the player as the main character is stupid. What's the point of all the clothing customization? You don't see your own body 99% of the time. AJ Ghale and Jason Brody in Far Cry 3 and 4 were well made, interesting characters, with INTERESTING stories. Why can't you guys make a new protagonist like those. HIRE THOSE WRITERS BACK, THEY DID GOOD! The story is really boring and cliche in New Dawn.

    - It was hard to care at all about any of the characters. I didn't give a rats ass about Rush's death, cause there was such a lack of character development

    - your helpers die waaaay to easily, and most of the time it's cause they put themselves in a horrible position, in a place where you can't even revive them. So most of the time they are a liability.

    - It's really hard to care about ANY of the characters that appear. They are sooo one dimensional.

    - The structure is completely based on Far Cry 5. I hated the crafting and hunting system there. And it's the same here.

    - the Perk tree is super small. Where are the drop in take downs? Where are the other cool upgrades from FC3 and FC4

    - There's a severe lack of vehicles in the overworld. You literally need to go to an outpost to reliable locate a vehicle most of the time.

    Conclusion

    I understand the tried to make it more like an RPG. But the pacing is horrible. And RPG elements isn't what made Far Cry great. Do not **** play this game. If you've never played Far Cry. Play 3 and 4. They are the best. Maybe 5.    … Expand

    Are you kidding me? In coop two players can only play together when they are in a diestance of 100 feet. And I never played a game where I just hoped there would be no story, no charakters. Only gameplay. The gameplay is fantastic in my opinion. most of the time. But the rest of it... is ****

    Mediocre and lazy, the usual from Ubisoft.
    Enemies are bullet sponges, animals will take a rocket to the face and not die(the animals this strong only made sense in Primal), enemies with flamethrowers will kiil you through walls, motorcycle helmets that can barely save your life on a crash apparently are 100% bullet proof, there is only one radio station playing the same horrible music,    Mediocre and lazy, the usual from Ubisoft.

    Story is follow up to 5(and this is bad)nuclear war happened and now we are in post apocalyptic world. I'll come back to this later.

    Twins are the most forgettable unmemorable far cry villains ever. They are not scary, funny or makes you question yourself. They are just bland and cringe. Other characters are not better either. They just...exist. It is basically fc5 dlc. Even    Story is follow up to 5(and this is bad)nuclear war happened and now we are in post apocalyptic world. I'll come back to this later.

    It is basically fc5 dlc. Even though it uses 5's map they managed to ruin it. This post apocalyptic world doesn't look post apocalyptic. So much pink and green. It is sooo colorful. What kind of radiation is that?

    To do main missions you need to do side missions. It is annoying busywork. Now ubisoft...side missions are supposed to be SIDE MISSIONS. They should be optional. When you force them it is not side mission anymore!

    Unnecessary rpg elements. Blue gun, purple enemy, green mission. F*CK OFF!

    Enemies are bullet sponge because your weapon is blue and enemy is red or something. You blow them into pieces? Too bad your level is not high enough...

    There are microtransactions! Goddamn microtransactions.

    There are more weapons now. Some came back from previous fc's and others are new.

    The only interesting thing about this garbage is that saw launcher.    … Expand

    this game just seems that Ubisoft wanted to make a game cheap and fast so that can get more money off of it. there are all minimal changes between FarCry 5 and new dawn, what they have done is use a cooler filter to make things look more vibrant. that have also shrunk the map to 2/3 of the size of what it was before.

    Open world in New Dawn exists for one single purpose: to let player engage next group of enemies on his own terms. Hopefully, in next game Ubisoft will finally get rid of RPG elements (mainly, bizarre multi-tiered guns) and go back to the formula of first Far Cry. [Issue#236, p.54]

    Only full-time members of Joseph Seed's cult hooked on bliss will enjoy playing Far Cry: New Dawn from start to finish. The others will eventually get tired of psychedelic palette and recycled content.

    Far Cry New Dawn is a ridiculously well-polished and fun to play action game (AI issues aside), with an enjoyable if largely mundane story and villains. It's so hard to negatively criticise too much. It would be unfair to judge this individual game against the wider approach of Ubisoft that some could argue needs to evolve more going into the future. The freedom that this sandbox gives to just shoot things and have fun is clear to see, and on PC the world looks incredible, filled with vivid colours, rich explosions, lush grassland and shimmering blue rivers. The real question following this conclusion to the Hope County arc and all its DLC is where Ubisoft will go next with this franchise. Ultimately it is impossible to separate New Dawn from feeling like an expensive DLC for its predecessor.
