    Great Far cry romp that is in my opinion better than Far cry 5.
    Graphic are brilliant, game play is brilliant, story is a little meh, but who plays it for the story.
    Great fun and worth the money.
    Most that vote it down is because it's colourful or don't own the game and just wan to hate. The colours in the game really work to add atmosphere.

    Pretty simple: if you like Far Cry 5, you'll like Far Cry New Dawn. Both games have very similar gameplay and graphics (FCND is a bit more slick, but it is one year newer): story missions, side missions, loot missions, soldiers for hire etc. I've also noticed that FCND takes a page or two from Fallout 4 in terms of the post apocalyptic universe, settlement creation, workbenches, and evenPretty simple: if you like Far Cry 5, you'll like Far Cry New Dawn.

    After Far Cry 5 I didn't have much hope for New Dawn, not sure what everyones problems is I have ultra setting @ 107fps average. Story is interesting and overall feels a lot more like Far Cry again. Visuals and graphics are magical and the game play is extremely fun. Everyone **** like this we will end up with another FC5 please stop

    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

    Сколько незаслуженного хейта в сторону этой игры , для многих Far cry вообще "умер" после 3 части . Игра тянет на твёрдую 7 из 10 , но поскольку слишком много недалёких , то приходиться ставить 10 из 10 , дабы исправить положение

    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:)

    Far Cry New Dawn....what is it? Just more Far Cry 5?

    The answer to the above is...kinda, I've only recently got around to finishing Far Cry 5, it didn't really grab me, I found the location slightly dull and wasn't overly impressed with the art design and gameplay loop, it was alright, a 6/10 for me, a must try harder, entertaining but ultimately failing to really instil any excitement    Far Cry New Dawn....what is it?

    The answer to the above is...kinda, I've only recently got around to finishing Far Cry 5, it didn't really grab me, I found the location slightly dull and wasn't overly impressed with the art design and gameplay loop, it was alright, a 6/10 for me, a must try harder, entertaining but ultimately failing to really instil any excitement or desire to continue playing in me.

    New Dawn is ubisoft trying harder, don't get me wrong the series needs a shake up but as a stop gap, stand alone expansion this game get's quite a lot right.

    Starting with the post apocalypse....

    The gun play is identical, with slightly more entertaining weapon styles, not a bad thing as that element of gameplay was always competent anyway, the biggest change for me was the environment, far from the Fallout/Metro vision of the apocalypse this is set in the superbloom, and it's beautiful, full of vegetation and flora and turquoise water with pink neon deer...everything I didn't realise I was missing in my life. When you add in a much improved HDR implementation and an improved lighting system you end up with one of the most impressive environments I've seen yet in a videogame, and it's this dramatically more interesting environment that has me more engaged with the experience, i know it's the same map but it doesn't feel like it, and the area's that do, the bombed out remains of locales visited during the previous game are interesting to revisit, to see in their state of sad disrepair..

    In conclusion, better environment and use of colour liven up the experience dramatically, the weapons are a little more interesting and so far the game moves at a slightly brisker pace, i also like the settlement mechanic and base building elements this time around, along with the excursion missions, lots of little improvements that taken as a whole make a relatively by the numbers fps feel a little more exciting and raise it above it's predecessors.    … Expand

    Cons, this game could be done even better! By adding some more bosses, develop the theme of mutant animals, add weapon effects like in Bordelrands.

    In fact, an excellent and high-quality experiment with the series, my advise for you is to ignore those bad fake reviews and try the game for yourself.

    Игра нереально затянула и наиграл 20 часов за 3 дня.

    Охренительное и разнообразное оружие, сильные мобы, новые механики игры, неплохой сюжет, отличная графика.

    Минусы, эту игру можно было сделать еще круче! Добавить больше боссов, развить тему мутантов зверей дальше, добавить оружие по типу bordelrands.

    По факту отличный и качественный эксперимент с серией, советую не вестить на высеры и попробовать игру самому.    … Expand

    I had a lot of fun with this game, definitely worth the less than usual AAA price. I think Ubisoft's Far Cry formula is great fun, and this game's light RPG mechanics and superpower stuff along with the unusually colourful post apocalyptic setting made it much more interesting than the game it's borrowing it's landscape from. Honestly my favourite Far Cry experience since Blood Dragon.

    I have played all Far Cry games, except primal, and I think this one is among the best.

    It strays pretty far from the rest of the franchise in that it has a lot more RPG elements than the others. There is the usual perk tree, but you can upgrade some perks several times. The same is true for the guns, which you first craft, and then upgrade to do higher damage by using more materials.

    The story far surpasses Far Cry 5 with more fleshed out characters who are given a back story, albeit a short one, but still with emotional depth. It also concludes the story from the previous game in a satisfying way.

    While it uses a part of the map from Far Cry 5 it is barely recognizable. Even though only 17 years have passed since the nuclear apocalypse everything has drastically decayed (for some reason) and there were only a few places I could clearly identify from their glory days.

    I don't have much negative to say, but the thing that bugged me the most were the followers. There are eight in total, out of which six are human and two are animals, a dog and a boar. All the human followers have only a few lines of dialog which they keep repeating, they attack when I don't want them to and and ignore enemies when I need help. They are slow to get in a vehicle with me and several tend to to use attacks that turn the battlefield into a raging fire inferno which is incredibly annoying. The animals are far better and have really useful perks to boot.

    The price of the game is also a detractor with two thirds of the price of the predecessor, but only one third of the content.    … Expand

    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

    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.
