    Für mich ein vollwertiges Far Cry!

    Ich habe Far Cry 5 schon in den Himmel gelobt und findealles in New Dawn nochmal etwas besser gemacht. Medi-Kits und Würfgeschosse einfach im Waffenrad beim Laufen herstellen, man hat gefühlt unendlich Materialien, ein sehr gutes Waffenstufen-System, ausballancierter Schwierigkeitsgrad, sehr gut mit den Außenposten umgesetzt und die Expeditonen sind    Für mich ein vollwertiges Far Cry!

Medi-Kits und Würfgeschosse einfach im Waffenrad beim Laufen herstellen, man hat gefühlt unendlich Materialien, ein sehr gutes Waffenstufen-System, ausballancierter Schwierigkeitsgrad, sehr gut mit den Außenposten umgesetzt und die Expeditonen sind ebenfalls eine Klasse Idee gewesen, da kommt man nochmal an Orte die man über die normale Open World nicht erreichen kann.

    Man kann auch wieder entscheiden wie man spielt, ich mag Stealth eigentlich überhaupt nicht aber in Far Cry habe ich da immer mal wieder tatsächlich Bock drauf. Das Menü wurde nochmal verbessert, man levelt die Basis, man levelt seine Begleiter hoch, nach 15 und 40 Abschüssen, ok sie leveln sich selber hoch aber man sollte sie am Anfang erstmal alle bis sie 15 Kills haben mitnehmen, weil es ja auch schwieriger wird und das erste Upgrade denen schon sehr hilft bzw sie gut stärkt. Die Skillpunkte sind überhaupt nicht knapp, es gibt 10 X 3 für die Schatzsuchen wie man sie auch den Prepper Verstecken von Far Cry 5 kennt und genügend durch Herausforderungen, man muss sie sich gar nicht durchlesen, macht man fast alles automatisch, a und zu ggf. mal die Waffenklasse wechseln, das reicht, ansonsten gibt's auch noch durch Expeditionsabschlüsse Skillpunkte, die sind nach Stufe 3 unendlich wiederholbar und machen echt Spaß.

    Ich weiß nicht was viele an der Story auszusetzen haben, das Spiel ist zwar etwas kürzer, wenn man alle Expeditionen und Außenposten auf allen Stufen macht, wobei die zwei Aktivitäten jetzt immer sehr schnell vorrüber sind, kommt man auf eine Spielzeit von 20 - 25 Stunden. Die Story ist GUT, die Zwillinge sind richtige Bada**e und haben eine gute Vertonung, ich empfehle auf jeden Fall vor diesem Spiel Far Cry 5 zu spielen, ich habe mich immer sehr gefreut, wenn ich etwas wiedererkannt habe und es ist sehr spannend wie sich die Charaktere verändert haben, ein super Spiel! Ich habe nichts zu bemägeln, das einzige was man machen könnte, wäre den Speicherpunkt nach Abschluss der Story nach dem Kampf der Zwillinge zu setzen, damit man die Chance hat jede Entscheidung einmal auszuwählen. Aber ansonsten 10/10.    … Expand

    A revamped (and shorter) map of Far Cry 5 after the FC5 events. Well, I had the curiosity to try it out and being a fan of post-ap games, I really liked it.
    The plot didn't make any sense but this game was supposed to be a DLC from FC5 so I was prepared for a very short story and just little things to do. In the end I was pretty satisfied.

    Always liked the idea of FC in the post apocalypse, I like the game's aesthetic and design as well, I just wish some elements weren't dumbed down from FC5 like being able to use drugs, skinning animations etc. Could also use more random events variety and the story is way too short and a bit underwhelming at the end.

    This is my 3rd Far Cry experience and so I'm quite satisfied with it. The game is cheaper than it's other parts since it's a spin-off and not a Far Cry 6 game.
    However, the gameplay, graphics, and plot were so great! It was simply awesome and interesting + saddening to see Hope County after the Nuclear end of the world.

    However, the gameplay, graphics, and plot were so great! It was simply awesome and interesting + saddening to see Hope County after the Nuclear end of the world.

    The people that voted for this game with negative scores are players that haven't even played the game for over half an hour it feels like.

    The game was good and I had a blast. I played it in normal difficulty and have to admit that even that felt like easy difficulty for me after reaching a certain part in the game. I might switch it up to the hardcore difficulty.

    There's not a lot of game time in this spin-off, seeing as there are only 22 Story missions and only 8 side missions. But the new systems they implemented on outposts and enemies are quite cool and I've already grown fond of them hoping they make a return in the next installment.
    The game was so much fun that I played it 3 days in a row without touching my other games AT ALL.

    There are microtransactions in the game, but they are quite useless since you can grind everything AND it doesn't even take that long. ''Prestige'' is the status for some weapons and vehicles which makes them buyable with the new currency, but they are completely buyable with in-game resources and thus grinding.

    The weapons were creative and they had a fun descriptions of them. I loved the neon color scheme the game had (Rage 2 and Fallout 76 also have a neon color focus, but those games are well known to have sucked)

    Buy it and support Ubisoft since they made a fun experience once again and a lovely destroyed Hope County map for us to explore yet again!    … Expand

    As always, you have to get into the game and get over the mental hurdle of it beeing an ordinary Far Cry without much innovation. In the end, it's the better Far Cry 5, with more beautiful and colorful graphics, great HDR effects, and less story- and mission overloaded.

    good optimization

    very very good mechanics, fast gameplay

    i finished this game twice

    the world and its secrets were really impressive it was so nice to find their notes in different parts of the map and remember from far cry 5.

    the story sucks, I write by keeping it apart :)

    I bought this game only because I wanted to know what happened to Seed and the deputy. The game was extremely fun, I loved the new game elements, the expeditions, and the level grinding too.
    The only problem with this game is that it's too short, the main story can be completed in about 10 hours.

    A little more cartoony (console-ish) than Far Cry 5, but still entertaining, even if the humor sometimes gets in the way of immersion.

    If I'd paid full price for this at release I'd probably score it lower, but at current Steam prices I see no reason to doc points for being only 3/4 of a new game.

Aqui você começa fraco, tendo de coletar muitos recursos e usar da estrategia para dominar os postos - joguei na dificuldade Hard. Uma das minhas maiores criticas ao Far Cry 5 foi sobre sua dificuldade, que além de ser facílima, não trazia a sensação de "Melhoria". Já aqui há nível para os inimigos e as armas.

    Os gráficos são lindíssimos, com um nível de detalhes enorme e uma paleta de cores, no minimo, apaixonável. Infelizmente o jogo não é lá otimizado, mas nada que te impeça de jogar.

    A historia é fraquíssima e assim como no primeiro jogo, tinha um enorme potencial. Os personagens são mortos, com motivações incompreensíveis; os diálogos são horrorosos e o senso de drama abordado no jogo é digno de risadas. Eu realmente queria saber quem leu e revisou esse roteiro.

    Quanto aos bugs, não presenciei nenhum. Houve um Crash que travou todo meu PC, mas vindo da Ubi, nem me surpreendi. E eu não poderia deixar de falar: as boss fight desse jogo são horríveis, pois não exigem habilidade/inteligencia do player. É só ficar dando tiro até descer a barra gigantesca de vida do "boss" - além de serem bem desinspiradas.

    Porém, apesar dos problemas acima, é um bom jogo, mas que fique claro que estou analisando-o como uma DLC, até porque usa o mesmo MapDesign do FC5    … Expand

    I can't get about what bad optimizaion people are talking. The game handles constant 60 fps+ on 4k@ultra settings using RTX2080 without single stutter/lag. In same time oldie GTX970 handles 45+fps on 1080p@ultra
    Metro Exodus and AC:Odyssey have a lot worse optimization.
    The game is fun. I played all Far Cry games, and it feels good. Just forget that you played FC5:)

    Even adventuring around the world has enough to entice you to stay in Hope County, as well as liberating Outposts over and over again with progressive levels of difficulty, as you progress in the story the enemy behavior changes too. Fighting and problem solving simultaneously is new to the series which makes for great game play. I own every game in this series and was thinking I'll take a pass on New Dawn sure glad I didn't because it's turning out to be well worth my time and money.

    For thoughts of us who are well versed in the series and who has just played Far Cry 5 knowing that games ending gives us more details on characters we've already met which makes New Dawn even more enjoyable to play. I feel this is a must have for anyone who loves this series as I do plus lots of content to be had 12-15 hours or more..    … 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.
