    Far Cry: New Dawn is just a reskin of Far Cry 5 with smaller map, shorter story and less customization. Its a quick cash grab.

    If you are a fan of the franchise and really liked the 5th entry then I think you should play this entry. It provides a good epilogue for some characters from the 5th game and the gameplay has some light rpg elements that can turn some people off but honestly I think they're done well.

    If you enjoyed Far Cry 5, you will most likely enjoy this too. It nicely rounds off the story from Far Cry 5. The new levels system for enemies is perhaps a little odd and takes some getting used to, but it does mean there is a ramp-up in difficulty. Expeditions and capturing outposts at higher levels can certainly be challenging.

    The main issue with this game is the length. Whilst advertised as a full new game, it feels somewhere between a full game and a DLC. As a fairly casual gamer, I did not expect to complete the storyline in a single weekend.

    The question of value for money has to be asked here. If you're a fan of the series and of Far Cry 5 in particular, you will probably enjoy playing this, though I would consider waiting for the price to drop.    … Expand

    Good God, fall out 4, metro Exodus, piles of sht all of them. I truly believe I could complete this game in a couple of hours, it's not really that bad either, I love the Far Cry series but it just feels so rushed, pointless, a step back in every way. And please do not have women as the antagonist, it simply doesn't work.

    - Story and Characters written by an autistic five year old (Seriously, its Age Rated 17+, the uncalled goofiness of some characters belongs to Pepa Pig, it kills immersion)

    - AI & World. You can roadhouse kill kick frozen animal flocks around the map. Enemy AI behaves like they are both drunk and blind. The game teaches you to exploit broken AI code and not fight like you're supposed to.    … Expand

    Feel a bit disappointed but I also didn't pay full price. The game generally feels like a large DLC for Far Cry 5. The main story is short, much shorter than previous far cry's and as I'm also going through AC: Odyssey I was just expecting another 10 hours of gameplay or something.

    I'm not too fussed about the overall accuracy of what the post apocalypse was supposed to look like so soon after but I was able to get through the game on "tough" mode (which is the middle option, so don't mistake that for anything other than normal mode) in 11 hours. That's also with clearing all outposts at least once and doing a bunch of expeditions. I was easiy able to upgrade my base to the max level with a bunch of high level stuff.

    You also get a shotgun if you've completed far cry 5 (at least on UPlay anyway) which is OP as **** when you unlock rank 2 weapons (again, you can do this quite early on).

    But the game works, it runs well there are no broken mission lines, no animation bugs or anything game breaking. The bright ambiance use gives a nice effect. If there's one thing that Far Cry is known for now it's the protagonists and Vaas has always been a tough job to follow. I'd give the twins a 6.5/10.

    Wait for the sale or if you know then you know :)    … Expand

    I doubt most of the people posting here have even played the game. Looks like it's getting review bombed for no reason. I think it's fun, it looks really good, and the new weapons can be a blast to use. That said, it is repetitive, like most Far Cry games, but if you don't mind that, I think you're going to have fun.

    Nice add-on to Far Cry 5 that extends and concludes the story of what happened after the main events - in case you didn't go for the "Only You" ending that is ;)

    Storytelling is pretty good in this one without the forced interventions that were criticized in FC5. I don't think they could have done much more with it without it getting tedious.
    The typical FC5 grind content is there anyway - only thing missing: Clutch Nixon challenges.

    I've played some 11h to get to the ending with quite some grindy stuff in between - which is required though for the weapon upgrades.

    Regarding some concerns that I had myself:
    - It feels like a mix of a really good add-on and a sequel, hence the pricing which is justified in my opinion.
    - The map is completely reworked, not just recycled
    - It's not just pink or comic style, it actually looks like Annihilation (Natalie Portman movie), especially due to the deer. First scene I was like: This looks exactly like Annihilation
    - Story was way better than expected

    Some cons:
    - at times it feels unpolished, especially in regards to AI (they keep complaining about almost dying without there being any enemy in sight)
    - Friendly AI will try to run in front of your car every time you approach from afar. Damn insurance scammers
    - Boss fights were a real nuissance.
    - Identity of The Judge is not revealed (though it's somewhat clear who he is due to how Joseph describes hin) - not even really a con, it's fine - I just wanted to be certain

    So, what's there to do in FC5:
    Years after the bombs fell, people came out of their shelters, built up something, then came the highwaymen and destroyed everything.
    They asked you and your fellas for help, you came, they attacked you - everything goes to crap - you have to rebuild.

    In between you have to rescue people, upgrade your base, retake/scavenge outposts,
    clear out looting sites, do cache runs and new to it are expeditions.
    Expeditions are instanced outposts where you need to go in, steal a package, get out. You'll need those for the advanced crafting material stuff.

    Expeditions, as well as outposts can be redone with the next time always being harder.

    There isn't much point in fishing/hunting this time around as crafting doesn't require those items for the most part.

    All in all - if you liked FC5 - you will want to get your hands on this. Maybe wait for a sale if you feel like it's too expensive but if you are interested in the whole Joseph Seed storyline, you want to get this at some point.    … Expand

Driving is still a pain because the only view is first person from the driver's seat - Ubisoft apparently is steadfast in their devotion to that, which is a shame since "Far Cry" is essentially GTA: Generic Wilderness. Also added is the RPG-like enemy leveling mechanic, such that you must upgrade your weapons to effectively dispatch higher ranking enemies. I didn't really mind this too much. The graphics are like Far Cry 5, but they're a lot more colorful because of the secondary effects of the nuclear fallout.

    My biggest grip with the game is that it really should've just been a part of Far Cry 5, which I thought was woefully short in duration. The way they setup the story progression in FC5 lent itself to unintentionally forcing the story along at a rather remarkable pace. For example, blowing up an enemy truck would earn you "resistance points" (or something to that effect), and once you'd accumulated enough, you'd be cutscene hijacked into a boss battle. It took but a small number of "resistance points" to get thrust into a "boss battle," and blowing up enemy convoys was a natural consequence of getting from point A to point B, so before you knew it, the game was over. So they dispensed with this mechanic in Far Cry: New Dawn, which was great - I can now kill as many people as I want and not fear accelerating the game's progress before I'm satisfied that I've sufficiently ambled about the map. But I'm torqued that I had to pay money for what really should've been included in the first game. What Ubisoft did here would be the equivalent of Rockstar Games charging $40.00 for the Epilogue to RDR2.    … Expand

It claims to be post-apocalyptic, but aside from looking like it was raped by a unicorn, the only meaningful example of the setting are the invisibile walls of radiation to keep you from exploring. The story is as forgettable as FC5's, and the crafting (RPG elements) require too much grind to be of much use. The attempt to appear woke also detracts, however by the time that is evident, you will have likely given up caring. Finally, the lazy new game mechanic of slapping extra-light armor onto enemies in the pretense of them becoming a damage sponge is featured in New Dawn. This becomes a true grind when outposts are re-taken by enemies, forcing you to do it all over again and again. With each iteration however they add in more BMX (bike armor) clad enemies for the ultimate in grindy bullet sponge enemies, which only the most unique player will find enjoyable. The rest of us find such artifical difficulty to be immersion breaking, and that just encourages us to play another game. Such as Metro: Exodus, or even FC3/4.… Expand

    Полное прохождение заняло ~30 ч. при ~50 ч. Far Cry 5.

    В New Dawn мы имеем:
    10 классических аванпостов. Хотя в ND есть порочная система повторения при увеличенной сложности, из-за чего нужно захватить каждый 3 раза.
    7 вылазок, схожих с польз. картами, где нужно украсть рюкзак и улететь. По 3 раза каждая вылазка.
    21 побочка, среди которых есть интересные и забавные.
    12 коллекционных заданий. Два на поиск предметов, остальные - головоломки.
    101 место. Размер карты в ND - 15 кв. км, в FC 5 - 60 кв. км. Разница компенсируется концентрацией мест.
    Треть представляет собой нычки с ресурсами. В других есть интересные и не очень записки.
    22 сюжетных задания. Сюжет слабенький. Это просто развёрнутый эпилог FC5 с несколькими новыми деталями.

    Слабее всего завязка.
    Антагонисты нелепые, эмоций кроме недоумения не вызывают. Как и новые герои, не успеваешь хоть как-то привыкнуть и проникнутся.
    Старые герои - другое дело. Их судьба интересна, они выглядят колоритнее новых.
    Несмотря на слабую завязку, концовка оказалась неплохой, пробирающей.
    Остались какие-то незакрытые вопросы, но проблема открытой концовки Far Cry 5 была решена.

    Что касается иных нововведений, то гринд запчастей и грабёж аванпостов необходим для улучшения базы и крафта.
    Для улучшения мастерских, верстаков, больниц необходим спирт. Улучшая больницу, игрок увеличивает здоровье. Улучшая лабораторию, получает доступ ко взрывным боеприпасам. Улучшая мастерскую и верстаки, получает возможность делать оружие / машины из собранных материалов.

    Другое нововведение - система уровней. Как я уже писал, вылазки и аванпосты можно производить повторно, каждый раз увеличивая уровень вплоть до трёх (далее бесконечно). Но на самом деле этих уровней четыре и первым идёт нулевой. Каждый уровень представлен своим цветом по типу ММО.
    0 - Белый. 1 - Синий. 2 - Фиолетовый. 3 - Золотой. Чем больше уровень - тем мощнее оружие. Аналогично с врагами, которые бывают белыми, синими, фиолетовыми и золотыми. Чем выше уровень врага, тем сложнее его убить оружием уровнем ниже. И проще оружием уровнем выше. Так по туловищу золотого врага можно выпустить все патроны из всего оружия первого уровня и не убить. К счастью, разработчики не стали идти по пути маразма до конца и поэтому для убийства даже такого противника достаточно поломать его шлем и прострелить голову, что летально даже с самым простым оружием.

    Учитывая вышеперечисленное, можно сказать, что прощупывание почвы со стороны Ubisoft и завершение Far Cry 5 - это хорошо.
    Но плохо то, что аддон идет по цене игры. Плохо, что время увеличивается за счёт повторений. Огорчает и кризис сюжетных идей.
    Тем не менее, игра заслуживает 6.5 из 10.    … Expand

    The weapon system with it's old post-apocalyptic 'road warrior' look could've been great, if one were able to modify them instead of crafting a pre-made 'custom' weapon.
    A real immersion killer for Co-Op and people who like to actually customize their arsenal to fit the character they make to fill the gap of a 'real' protagonist.

    The game-world itself actually looks quite good, but they still use the same 300 meters+ and things randomly respawn.

    I can't give it less then a 5, as ..well, killing is fun in the game. Nor can I give it more then a 7 since they dropped the ball so many times, where they could've made it almost a masterpiece.

    The grind is real in this latest instalment. Redoing outposts for resources often felt tedious and unnecessary, even though it added new outfits in its wake.

    The villains, Mickey and Lou and the offspring of a familiar face, were great, but could have been so much better with more development. Due to little screen time, you don't really get the feeling these characters were given a broad canvas, and are thoroughly eclipsed by the likes of Vaas in Far Cry 3.

    What I did like were the insane weapons offered, and the descriptions to go along with them. There are plenty of modifications possible and a lot of them add to the experience. I had a good laugh at the multicolored flamethrower and variousthemes, and dressing up your character in the Blood Dragon theme was a nice touch.

    That being said, the campaigns start to feel repetitive. It's about time Far Cry pulls a fat Assassin's Creed: Origins and starts to figure out where it's headed. These are not bad games, and anyone rating this below a 5 seems unreasonable, but it's about time Ubi starts taking these warnings seriously and should start to rethink the current formula.    … Expand

    However the game's not balanced at all. The first 70% of the main mission is a walk trough the park, even with the toughest difficulty settings, the last 3-4 mission tough are hard as hell, even in the easiest difficulty.
    What I dont like too is that an ego shooter should award accuracy, if you however hit a headshot on a guy with a helmet with the best gun in the game it does'nt do any damage at all, just knocks the helmet of and the whole base is on alert. If you however hit a chest shot he's killed instantly.

Edited this in: THEY TRY TO SELL YOU MICROTRANSACTIONS lol otherwise you have to grind your ass off to get nice things. Is this a Free-to-Play? Oh wait $40... Ubisoft's greed came through in this one real bad.

    Visually, New Dawn has the same glorious fidelity and lush environments as Far Cry 5. This should be expected, because they just painted over the map with orchid on the brush. I think the pink theme is much needed in a post-apocalypse (beige was getting really old). I was impressed enough to make a visual showcase video for Youtube.

    The gameplay is a step back from Far Cry 5. Far Cry 5 kept the "humans are actually normal vulnerable humans" philosophy. In New Dawn, you can encounter higher difficulty enemies that are not defeatable if your weapons are not at a high enough level. I stumbled across enemies several times that ate multiple 30-round mags of assault rifle ammo and I had to run away. Not cool. The combat is more arcade-like (think Borderlands), which I do not prefer at all. It's a spin-off game so whatever there I guess. Same goes for the wildlife. Much more arcadey, with glowing weak-points on the animals' bodies - cheesy.
    The currency system is fine. You craft ammo instead of buying it. Common scrap replaces money in this game, basically. Weapons are tiered to match the enemy difficulty they are most effective against.

    The characters are mostly uninteresting. You can find some favorites, like Hurk, if you Google up where to go. Ubi tied this new pink world into the ending of Far Cry 5 appropriately. Those parts are interesting enough.

    The new antagonists are not nearly as interesting as Far Cry 5's and don't even come close to someone like Vaas. Not much to say about them. They do bad things and are annoying to listen to during cutscenes. Their personalities do not have any depth and they exhibit no charisma.

    The story pacing is the weakest point of the entire game. There are essentially "busy tasks" in between the lackluster main story missions, just like every bad RPG ever made. It's obviously just fluff to make a small game seem larger and more worthy of a $40 suggested retail price.

    About halfway through the game, I lost the urge to finish it. This was especially jarring, seeing as the previous games in the series kept me glued until I finished them. I guess the lesson for me is to stick the main titles and never go off on the spin-offs. The terrible part of this one was that they portrayed it as a direct sequel. It's not. Maybe worth $10 on a Steam sale if you're a hardcore fan of the series.    … Expand

    I really liked FCND as a mindless shooter with style, just like the other FCs. Playing with different guns, using stealth or all-out assault, teaming up with different companions. Growing, upgrading stuff, getting better and more powerful guns. Not worth the full price at launch, but definitely worth the 15 bucks I paid years later.

    Unfortunately, there is also a lot not to like, here. The scenery is too fuchsia, courtesy of the mutant flowers spawning everywhere. Driving cars is a chore, given that your eyes are positioned on a level with the cockpit, preventing you from seeing where you are going – just use 3rd person vehicles, it’s much better. Fire is annoying, as is fishing. Certain weapons are great, other are kind of pointless.
    Most of all, I hated most story missions. I know it’s a FC trademark, but I’m sick&tired of being stripped of all weapons and having to perform some highly unlikely escape sequence. The game forces certain idiotic decisions on you, putting you at the mercy of your enemies again and again.
    The final confrontation with the main antagonists gives new meaning to the term “bullet sponge”. Tank-resistant enemies with super-powered weapons (a flame thrower on steroids – of course the enemy is fireproof). You are forced to fight blind, while enemies can see perfectly well through the smoke. Many enemies help out the main opponents, but most of all, what I really hated the most, is a infinite sequence of guard dogs attacking you every few seconds, preventing you from landing the hundreds of hits you need to take the sponge down.
    I don’t like games that are too easy, and FCND is ok on the difficult setting. This battle, on the other hand, did not make me feel powerful but rather just a chump, like a fly fighting King Kong. Not impossibly difficult, mind me, nowhere near souls boss-difficult, but still very annoying.
    All in all, the game is ok. I had fun taking and retaking the various outposts and unlocking weapons and equipment. After all, it’s what every FC does; in this case, the map is smaller and the story less refined, but still worth a go, at a reduced price.    … Expand

    I'll start by saying I am a huge Facrcry fan and have loved most of the games since instincts. But this is objectively the worst game in the franchise. Personally I don't think it is that bad but it is definitely too overpriced for what you get.

But this is objectively the worst game in the franchise. Personally I don't think it is that bad but it is definitely too overpriced for what you get.

    Positives:
    - This is the first direct sequel in the franchise which is handled fairly well. It is nice to see old character and how they have changed over 17 years. Finding out what happened to the protagonist and antagonist of Farcry 5 was fun.
    - The gun play just like Farcry 5 is rather satisfying and shooting enemies always feels great with a nice head shot sound.
    - Eden's Gate part in the story is fun and interesting to explore especially when coming across characters like the father.
    - performance, just like 5, is amazing compared to 4 which was poorly optimized

    Negatives:
    - THE **** TWINS, like seriously, this is how pathetic the Farcry villains have become? They are soo terribly written and barely have any screen time at all. We know little about there back story and they dont really do anything or have a reason for attacking prosperity in the first place apart from "OH WE'RE THE BAD GUYS WE'VE COME TO KILL AND STEAL LOL". There is some attempt at the end to make you feel any kind of emotion towards them but they simply are not fleshed out enough.
    - Content is another big problem, it may be a spin of with a lower price tag but there is still not enough in the game to justify even that price. The map is halved only featuring Holland Valley, half of the Hendbane and what is left of the white tail mountains just straight up doesn't count due to the lack of anything interesting there. I would say its fair to compare this to Primal. And just to show how little this game has, it took me 20 hours roughly to 100% primal whereas it took me 9 hours to 100% New Dawn. There are barely any side quests or places to explore outside of the main story.
    - Weapons for some reason can't be customized.
    - Missed opportunities are also a big saw spot for this game and perhaps my biggest problem with the game, a good amount of places cannot visited like faith's gate or St. Francis Veterans Center which is a huge bummer. What ever happened to the whitetails is not explained, some things from 5 such as the wreckage from he ending run just straight up aren't in the game at all.

    Overall FarCry New Dawn is an enjoyable experience for about 5 hours before becoming a pretty boring game. It was a decent idea but was executed very poorly in the end. If you are a big FarCry fan and enjoyed 5 you will most likely enjoy this and find a lot of fun in it, but if you a just a casual FarCry player you probably should avoid this game and just play 5 instead as it is a lot better than this. It's a fairly poor written game which has a pretty cardboard cast of characters which copies alot from Primal's story except the decent amount of content.    … Expand

    How is this a separate game? Looks more like a DLC to FC5. The plot is dumb, there was a potential for the plot to be way more enjoyable. In this game you basically farm resources to get a tier 3 gun to be able to kill at least something (I doubt that anyone has ever tried to craft tier 4).

For instance, the opponents have a displayed Health Bar aswell as a level indicator (1, 2, 3 or Elite). It also shows the damage you do, and whether you crit (headshots mostly) or not. They also added a few new weapon types, such as the Saw Launcher. I personally found it pretty entertaining to play around with the Elite version of the gun, as it has a Homing-in and Boomerang mode. The other weapons also has Post Apocalyptic themes (Cans as silencers etc.), which is a nice little detail.
    Another thing they added is expeditions, basically extra missions irrelevant to the main story, that can yield you a lot of resources. And they take place at other locations than the campaign map, which is really nice for a change.
    The game has two things though that bugged me throughout the game. For one, the system they use at outposts and expeditions. You're forced to play it against level 1 enemies to unlock level 2, then beat that to play it vs. level 3/elite enemies. It makes the game repetitive, and when you run around with endgame gear, it feels like a waste of time to do level 1 and 2.
    Secondly, the way helmets work are kinda dumb imo. It is basicly impossible to one-shot an enemy with a helmet in the head (As your first shot just removes their helmet), unless you use penetrating ammo. However, provided that your weapon deals enough damage, you can easily one-shot them in the Torso-area. So basically, you're getting punished for doing headshots, and rewarded for Torso-shots. It should also be mentioned that it's not just heavy units who wear helmets, it's a very large portion of the opponents, atleast amongst the higher levels.
    Overall, a fine, good looking game with approximately 15 hours of play time. Obviously, i understand that people who paid the €45 for this on Steam are disappointed. But honestly, paying that much without doing any research is entirely their own fault, kinda sad it has to ruin the score of a decent game.    … Expand

    * TLDR and my suggestion:
    If you've played a Far Cry game before, you've played them all, especially this one. There's almost nothing new here. The plot is also a very typical power-fantasy simulator. If you like other Far Cry games and have no better games to play right now, sure, give this a try and enjoy more of the same; otherwise you are not missing a thing.

If you like other Far Cry games and have no better games to play right now, sure, give this a try and enjoy more of the same; otherwise you are not missing a thing.

    * What does this game have to offer?

    I usually write long and comprehensive reviews. But I'll keep this one short. Not because New Dawn is an awful game, no; it is as decent as one would expect. It's just that there's nothing about this game that you haven't read, seen or heard in a Far Cry 5 review.
    Map is the same. Story is the same. Weaponry is almost the same (with very few exceptions). It's as if the whole game is a re-skin of previous Far Cry games. And I am not just talking about a Far Cry 5 re-skin.
    If this was a mod for Far Cry 5 and was created by the community, it would've been a very good one. But as a AAA game with a price of 40$ I find it hard to recognize something unique or praiseworthy about it.
    - Gameplay is the same. A standard issue Ubisoft collectathon; an open-world checklist pursuit that has its fun moments, but hasn't improved in a long time.
    - Story for some reason is even more simplified than any other Far Cry games that I can recall. And references to FC5 and its character is just out of utilizing that sense of 'familiarity' not out of relevance.
    And the ending ... without spoiling it ... is just a disappointing whimper.

    * What possessed me to play this game?

    Confession time. I knew what I was getting into. And in fact, I do like to randomly run around in a big map and try to land headshots while engaging in accidental conflicts. I've been doing that since Far Cry 2.
    However, at this point I am just doing it out of curiosity. I am trying to pinpoint the moment when Ubisoft finally realize that Far Cry's gameplay requires serious improvements.
    There is nothing realistic about a Far Cry game, yet the the gun-play remains very clunky since Far Cry 2; as if they've been trying to simulate real life shooting mechanics.
    Going into sniper scope takes too long and the same goes for coming out of it. Walking during the 'aimed down sight' phase is terribly slow, and as per usual you can not change your scoping mouse-sensitivity. The list goes on.
    If Ubisoft had listened to the feedback of the community or at least consulted some E-sport level FPS players, they could've improved the gun-play of Far Cry games significantly. That way at least roaming around would've been fun. But sadly, the gun-play has stayed almost the same since FC2.
    I guess that explains how other aspects of Far Cry games haven't changed in time either.
    From story to quests to stealth to combat ... the composition has more or less stayed the same. It's as if they believe they've found a 'magic formula' and that can garner success by repeating it over and over.
    I just hope the Far Cry series doesn't go the way of the 'Telltale' games.

    * Summary:
    Far Cry New Dawn is a smaller re-skined version of previous Far Cry games with a less interesting story. There are no major improvements in any departments. You can seek out the 'fun' and have it ... but you can do that in any other Far Cry game as well. So, be advised.    … Expand

    But everything else was bad. Something more, something less.
    "Arrows": Outposts and other Ubisoft things that rules such game-play(I understand why gamers complain on that, this thing goes from game to game. but I like to conquer those outposts, so for me it wasn't a big problem). Small visual glitches and crawling out of the textures by NPCs. And almost all music is normal average Far Cry music, but when it's come to conquer the outpost or another enemy structure - "Awful acid rave". This is not a music, but a tasteless cacophony of electric sounds with girlish voice from some digital hell.
    "Fire Arrows": No weapon customization(You cannot change anything in the weapon itself, only crafting of a new one of higher level from resources. And any weapon of any enemy level will be the most mediocre, so after opening a level 2 weapon, picking up a trophy weapon is absolutely pointless). Skills in the form of a simple grid, without any visual form. And art of them are waste of skill points(like reloading while aiming, yeah, a very important ability). I don't like that Ubisoft changed ammo amount from crafting to skill level, it's not interesting. You have hunting only for crafting(Metal resources for animal skin, what?). Pink post-apocalypse(It's not very bad, bud differently not suits for game's theme... glamour apocalyptic raiders).
    "Explosive arrows": Enemy and item levels are overly foolish(rocket launcher LVL 1 didn't even scratch animal LVL 3, WTF?). The protagonist is a faceless puppet(I'm already wildly tired of this idiotic pattern of giving the player such a character and making him listen to monologues throughout the game. Very emotional, one-sided monologues with hints that the protagonist seems to be answering something. Mentally, I guess). And at last the most heavy mistake on my opinion:
    THE ENEMY AGAIN CONSTANTLY CATCHES AND LETS GO THE PLAYER(Seriously? Far Cry 3, 4, 5, ND - Every time the same sh*t: They catch him - tell some flat jokes - let him go. Why-y-y-y-y?). And another banal cliché about a sad story from the past of the Antagonists, which should squeeze tears and sighs from the players. Who even decided this should work? First, these rabid sisters terrorize the valley, kill, destroy, blow up everything... and then you have to sympathize them? Seriously? Smells like hundreds of third-rate movies with villains like this.
    ...I understand perfectly why this game is criticized by so many, it deserves it in almost everything. But if it were just a DLC, and not a full-fledged stand-alone game at full price, I think the evaluation and criticism would be more lenient. I still got my part of pleasure in this very short game.    … Expand

    Not always the best choice, but it can get the job done. There’s some good idea, but they’re buried under some bad ones and poor execution. We have major complaints, there are enough excellent qualities to cancel most of them out."

    На самом деле, все минусы игры сильно преувеличены, поэтому советую не верить всем подряд, а оценить самостоятельно, тем более игра проходится за 15 часов. Гринд не такой уж и большой, вообще не ощутил, левелин сделан приятно, плюс в игру завезли много классных фишек, от больщих, до малых.

    Наверное эта лучшая часть в плане оружия, и системы прокачки его, блин да этого не хватало во всех предыдущих частях. Наконец оружие стало хоть как то отличатся дамагом и всем остальным полноценно в специальном окне. В итоге я полноценно наслаждался выкашиванием противником, само оружие и какое оно, о да оно суперское. Это главный и основной плюс лично для меня, остальные аспекты меня не особо заинтересовали, да и какая по сути разница, если 90% геймплея состоит из уничтожения противников.
    Очень порадовала обстановка вокруг все довольно красиво и наполнено жизнью.

    Сюжет тут получился в принципе таким же как и в остальных частях ибо Far Cry, вот тебе антагонист иди разберись с ним, ничего нового. Все осталось по большей части без изменения, но какие же они мерзотные эти две сестры, я не разу в серии Far Cry не получал столько наслаждения от их убийства антагонистов, скажу более мне обычно антагонисты нравились в серии Far Cry тут же все иначе, я прям ждал что бы прикончить их, они так сильно раздражали насколько это только возможно — поведением, логикой, действиями, да всем, выпендриваться настолько много насколько это только возможно «все наше».

    В заключение скажу, что данная часть или аддон, не суть важна, можно назвать неплохой. Даже не знаю что так поливают ее грязью. Ибо со своей основной задачей как стрелялкой она справилась на ура.

The atmosphere is not post-apocalyptic. Animations are very bad. The mission structure is ordinary. f*ck MICRO PAYMENTS in Far Cry. AS A RESULT, this is not a new game. this is a dlc for far cry 5.

Anyway I played this game with pretty low expectations and I must say in the end it was not that bad. Generally speaking, setting this game into this post-apocalyptic future is a good idea, but I would expect a better story and better (new) characters from it. For me FC5 had a very strong appeal and the character of Joseph Seed was just perfectly written. He comes back in New Dawn, but even with him the game fails to imitate the strong moments of Far Cry 5. Furthermore any new characters pretty much suck. The main antagonists, the Twins, are not exactly bad for this game, I mean, you will definitely hate them, only maybe for slightly different reasons than what the developers had in mind. The graphics is unchanged since Far Cry 5, still nice though. The music is drastically different though, offering you some hip-hop (really not my thing) and some good old 50s/60s songs (much better). The game features some microtransactions and contains some SJW.

    It was not disaster, but it was not BLISS. I was not thrilled about Far Cry New Dawn, but I still have FAITH in the series. Generally mixed feelings spell out a generally mixed score. Final Verdict: 58 %    … Expand

    New Dawn is the last episode of Ubisoft's popular series FarCry, it starts 17 years past where its last episode (FarCry 5) ended.

    it seems that after what happened with joseph something like an apocalypse occurred and people were forced to live underground but after 17 years as the game begins people start to come back to the surface of the earth. at the beginning of the game, you    New Dawn is the last episode of Ubisoft's popular series FarCry, it starts 17 years past where its last episode (FarCry 5) ended.

    it seems that after what happened with joseph something like an apocalypse occurred and people were forced to live underground but after 17 years as the game begins people start to come back to the surface of the earth.

    at the beginning of the game, you get to choose your character between both genders, and then you can customize whatever you have chosen but I must say that the number of clothes and outfits which you can use is so limited even with Ubisoft club and even if you have unlocked all available clothes they are still a very small range of them and you can't really customize your character.

    the character itself like the past farcry episodes it not so touchable and you don't get to know him/her well and the story is more about the unplayable characters.

    as you know the most important thing about the FarCry series is its villains and its villains are why this series is popular.

    but unfortunately, after FarCry 4, the villains weren't as good as they used to be, FarCry 5 at first made a great villain out of joseph but the awful ending of the game just destroyed all they had made.

    but in this game, the twins turn out to bee really good Villians although we don't get to see much from them, but when we do they are just great they are complete Villians but as I said we don't get to see much from them and story is so short and everything happens so fast while it could be so much longer and the game could show us a lot more and it would make the game so much better.

    a good thing about the game is the notes around its world if you have player FarCry 4 I suggest you open and read as much as letters as possible they have made a great connection between the games.

    Sound and Graphics:
    the game's graphics have improved a lot from "primal" and it even a little better than the Farcry 5 but it still can improve a lot more

    i experienced the game on ultra high, the shadows were great the environment was a lot better than the previous episodes but it still could be a lot better.

    the game had some locations (like the prison, the fighting arena, and the derby arena) that made it special from the other games and the gameplay in those locations was a lot better and it was more enjoyable.

    the game soundtracks were actually great, and it made the missions so more enjoyable and even a little stressful, Ubisoft had done a great job in choosing the right soundtracks it has made the gameplay a lot better.

    characters :
    as I've said before you don't get to know the character you're playing and the story is based on the unplayable characters.

    the story of Carmina is so great and it is perfectly connected to the FarCry 5 although we could know her a lot better, even her mother Kim and the most important thing that I think Ubisoft left behind was the story of nick (Carmina's father and the plain owner in the FarCry 5), I think the game would be a lot better and a lot more emotional if we get to see more of nick

    i said it before but I think I should say it again in cause to put stress on it, the twins are better than the previous episodes Villians but FarCry 4 and 3 Villians are still a lot favorably and I think if we get to see more from twins and the main story wasn't so short "the twins" could be one the best Villians of Farcry series.    … Expand

    This game do NOT deserve 73/100. The graphics are undeniably good and thats it. The map is empty, the story is almost non existent, their entire crafting system sucks. The villians are not memorable at all and are rather annoying. But rating it 3 out of 10 is way too low lol. This game is atleast better than that.

    What is not good here is the leveling system; some enemies are bullet spouge until you can get a nice weapon (which is not that simple to get, you have to grind for this).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. New dawn is a sequence of far cry 5 . . I prefer Ubisoft worked hard to make it feel new . . .just remove the giant open world and move the contrast up and here is the new dawn for you . . we have the co-op mode in far cry new dawn which is hours of fun with your friends. Mickey and Lou are the enemies of this game (ya not Joseph Seed no spoilers). game is an open world as all the far cry games and the main aim of the game is to upgrade prosperity ( the home base in the game) and survive in the post-apocalyptic world defending us from the highwaymen. As always the things don't go as planned and we have many obstacles in our way with side missions to move forward in the game. The storyline of FarCry new dawn is as interactive and interesting as all the FarCry games this game too with 8 hours of gameplay (approx) doesn't disappoint you at all. FarCry 5 being the start of an apocalyptic world, New dawn is its post version although the map is almost the same just a little shorter the colors of the game as compared to Far Cry 5 is eye blazing sharp and colorful, we can see tons of new guns which are kinda made from scraped out guns (As we can see on the trailer too) New dawn is pretty exciting to play and Ubisoft using the new Duniya engine has leveled up its physics game and did a pretty good job as per my view. I Will wait for Far Cry 6 to realize and check up on what new things Ubisoft has up its sleeve for now new dawn is a 7 out of 10 for me… Expand

    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]

    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.
