    Good gameplay, poor story. Fair amount of content for the price paid.

    Since I didn't play FC5 I'm fine with getting a recycled game. Liberating outposts is as fun as ever.

    One of the critic reviews mentions "well-polished game"? Where? This is a buggy mess that will greatly entertain you on one side and frustratingly infuriate you on the second.
    This is a non-memorable great shooter with a lot of freedom coming from it's open world roots, with annoying characters, out-of-place pink colors and about 20 hours of gameplay.

It's shorter, which is why it's cheaper. The basic premise is still there - run around a map with an arsenal of weapons and blow away enemy NPCs, which are everywhere. 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

    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.

    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

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

    I almost deleted the game already at the start, as you don't select gender, you select 'Body Type' now in Ubi games

    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.

    This Game is a good game and I don't understand what people are complaining about. The last fight though were trash. The boss could take as much as 1 bilion bullets and wont fall. It was just stupid and WAAAAY unrealistic. Therefore I gave it 7/10 because the ending should always be well made. Otherwise the game is an 8/10 in general for a Far Cry lover.

    My only complaint is that Ubisoft still does not allow you to drive with a third person view which is very irritating and stupid. How hard is it to give that option darn you Ubisoft.    … Expand

    To start off, I had a lot of fun playing New Dawn. Revisiting locations, altered by time and nuclear fallouts added to the Far Cry 5 experience. That being said, this never should have been a stand-alone game, as it is too short and too similar an experience.

    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

    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

Наконец оружие стало хоть как то отличатся дамагом и всем остальным полноценно в специальном окне.

    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».

    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

    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).

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

    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.
