    Although I like most of the Far Cry games, this one just didn't sit well with me.

    Main story sucked but gameplay, mechanics and many features added to the game were really good. I liked side activities and additional missions unlocked at prosperity. Although the whole game was very short it well spent time.

    Can be fun if ignoring a lot of it's flaws. Very low value for price point. Breakdown below:

    Pros: - Good graphics and well optimised. Will run well even on lower end rigs with some settings toned down. - Can be fun if you treat it as a run and gun. As long as you don't take it seriously it can be good fun. - Devs fixed some issue present in FC5 like the excess of enemy presence    Can be fun if ignoring a lot of it's flaws.

    - Devs fixed some issue present in FC5 like the excess of enemy presence everywhere on the map

    Cons:
    - 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)
    - Price. It's not a full-game and should have been the official DLC for the FC5 season pass. Only picked it up because I missed out on the Metro Pre-Order
    - 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

    The pink flora isn't so bad, it makes the world look really nice. The 'light' RPG elements ruin this Far Cry however (level 1,2,3,4 weapons). Glad I 'only' payed 23 euro for this game. Game was made for microtransactions only.

    Average at best. Far Cry 5 was fantastic and totally revived the series for me. New Dawn's price point mostly made sense, although $30 would have been better than the $40 price tag they went for instead.

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

    This is not a $40 game, it is a $15 DLC the size of a large mod and cannot even be considered a proper expansion pack when it re-usues 90% of the FC5 assets.

This 'sequel' to Far Cry 5 is not only just a re-skin, but has a fake setting. 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

    A colorful "post-apocalyptic" Far Cry title with yet again mediocre writing, boring grind, unimpressive sound effects, and a tankful of micro-transactions for a single player game. If you are keen to play your typical Far Cry game with the usual gameplay feel treated with the Assassin's Creed Origins-ey RPG touch up, go ahead and take a dip at Far Cry New Dawn.

    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.

    * 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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most of the game is fun, if you like just to do some **** you'll have plenty in Far Cry New Dawn.
    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.
    And if you ever come across an elite soldier, you'd better run, cause you would'nt have enough ammo.    … Expand

    Nature looks good. Very nice vegetation in an oversaturated cartoon-ish hue. Hiding while ambushing camps works well. It is very intuitive to sneak and hide around obstacles and i never thought the AI was able to look through things that would logically obstruct sight (bushes, trees etc.)

    What did i not like?
    The story is horrible. The antagonists are utmost idiots, the friendly NPCs .. to call them one dimensional is a compliment - the only friendly NPC i could stand was either the dog - or the pig.

    Dialogue almost hurts - the strange "go-to-Ubi-Soft"- substance induced spirit journey (that seems to happen in all Far Cry for some reason) is boring (and feels more like the writers had no single creative thought at all..)

    As many Ubi-Soft open world games (Far Cry, Ghost Reckon etc. ) .. this one, too .. suffers GREATLY from the freedom, the violence and the story. So you are send out ... and quickly massacre hundreds if not thousands of enemies, you single handedly take out fortresses and blow up HUGE bases - but for some reason you cannot deal with the 2 weak main antagonists that run their mouths.

    Another problem that this game runs into is similar to Fallout 4. It feels small. The playable map is very, very compressed. It feels like they tried to put a HUGE world into a 20 square kilometer map .. and it feels like it. In Ghost Reckon Wildlands there is at least a hint of distance ... in New Dawn, the world is not just over populated, but over crowded.

    Why do i compare it to Ghost Reckon Wildlands so much? Because it is practically the same game with a different skin.

    Is it fun? Well, yes .. but progression is too easy, AI is too dumb and it offers zero challenge. I have played it on hardest difficulty and i am really bad at shooting games. Yet, i found even no-detection-take overs to be way too easy and enemies offering NO challenge whatsoever.    … Expand

    * Supply drop quests were fun
    * I enjoy the post-apocalyptic atmosphere with regard to having to craft guns out of pieces / scraps of material, the re-rendering of the guns with these features was a good design decision.
    * New combat feature where you can pick up a dead heavy enemy's shield if you're using a one-handed weapon. This is a cool addition.
    * I actually like the "elite" enemies that have special gear, abilities, etc. I am just not a fan of the RPG system with different levels, making certain enemies "bullet sponges" at early levels as it is completely unrealistic and immersion-breaking.
    * Glad they put purchasable maps into the game (not referring to microtransactions; actual in-game currency used) so you could find all the locations, etc. again. That was another blunder from FC5 that they fixed.
    * Expedition missions - main design is good and enjoyable, BUT (see cons)
    * Much prettier water - it was more enjoyable to fish / swim and look for things under water in this game versus FC5 - reminded me of FC3.
    * They removed the "forced story progression" aspect that was in FC5 which was immersion-breaking and just an awful idea, so glad to see it gone in this game. You can progress at your own pace as far as the primary story.
    Cons:
    * Awful performance in Windows 10 - game ran good in Windows 7 for me, but in Windows 10 it just stutters all over the place in Win10 - apparently it's a very common issue for people along with Far Cry 5. Typical Ubisoft.
    * Mute protagonist - this is an immersion killer. Just like in FC5.
    * This game is Far Cry 5 DLC - IMO it's basically a "we're sorry FC5 sucked" DLC aimed at trying to correct the abysmal ending of FC5 that pi$$ed tons of people off.
    * Continuing on the above bullet - this is a DLC, it's not big enough to be a stand-alone game worth $40. Should have been free for FC5 Season Pass holders, and about $20-25 for non Season Pass holders.
    * DRM - VMProtect + Denuvo.
    * This is the first FC game that has an RPG / leveling system for the enemies (levels 1 - 3, higher being harder to kill) - it's absolutely awful and immersion breaking / unrealistic as it creates “bullet sponge” enemies.
    * Repetitive random events such as a couple guys having a hostage at a specific location – it should happen once and that’s it.
    * Too many roaming random people that can screwup your outpost liberation attempts when you’re going for stealth.
    * Knifethrow takedown is broken - I just took a guy down, and initiated the knifethrow takedown and my dude threw a bat (that came out of nowhere) at an enemy that only took down about 30% of his health so it alerted the whole base to my presence...lol, Ubisoft. Come on guys.
    * Ubisoft needs to come up with some new guns - not saying all the old ones need to go as some are still very relevant, but there just needs to be more variety. Sniper Rifles need a 3rd scope – and I’d suggest they add in a realistic element with sniping at that kind of extreme range to take wind / distance into effect to ensure long range sniping isn’t overpowered, but still do-able for those of us who would like to give it a try.
    * No body armor in the game - apparently the enemies have all of the armor on the planet. :-/
    * There is now a feature when doing the outposts where there are (3) levels to the outposts - in order to complete them and get all the resources needed, you have to do them (3) times – tedious. Same with Expeditions.
    * Lack of weapon customizability - the weapons are basically pre-built, so you can't customize them the way you want.
    * For how pretty the water was, it was very underutilized. Think how well locations and treasure were utilized in FC3 - missed opportunity here.
    * I miss the syringes from FC 3 & 4 that gave neat boosts.
    * The "Chain Takedown" is a bit flaky - it would not reliably engage properly
    * Story - while the story is "better" than FC5, that's not really saying much as FC5 honestly sucked. The main story is very short (like I said earlier - it's DLC, not a full size game), and the ending, while better than FC5, was still silly - minor s poilers - the part where Ethan eats the "special fruit" and gains super strength is just silly - they need to get away from those types of mystical junk in their storytelling.

I am very disappointed in this game, after having enjoyed all the previous ones with a passion.

    Ubisoft removed the freedom of being able to do whatever you like. They took away the one element that defined Far Cry and made it enjoyable. You have to grind materials to upgrade parts of your base in order to do anything in the game. You need better weapons to kill stronger enemies. The ally AI is REALLY stupid.

    New Dawn was clearly rushed and designed to compel the player to buy shortcuts with real money. The missions were designed to take a long time to travel or complete, without any means of transport nearby. The negative reviews are right. Ubisoft designed the game strictly to last as long as possible.

    Now, the game isn't absolutely unplayable, since the story is decent and is an epilogue to the events in FC5, but I still don't recommend it for anyone. The final boss battle will make you want to strangle the developers. The entire game is just an excruciating experience. Save yourself the time and money and don't play this game.

    If you absolutely must play, do these to make your experience less painful: Scavenge Outposts to Level 2 as soon as possible, do all the Expeditions, and upgrade your Workshop to Elite and craft Elite weapons. If you do these, the game will be much more relaxing to play.    … Expand

    I remember back when I played Far Cry 5 last year that I kinda hated it, I thought it was a huge step down from its predecessors in terms of game mechanics.

The mute protagonist was also a huge downgrade for me because it instantly eliminates any sort of depth your main character has, turning the game into a mindless repetitive grind (unless you REALLY enjoy the gameplay loop the game has to offer). Far Cry New Dawn while still having the same issues mentioned earlier it tries to fill up the mechanical gap between the entries with 'light RPG elements'. This honestly ruined the game for me, there is no reason to have 4 types of enemies and weapons in the game. Because of this, it makes scavenging outposts a living hell if you're under equipped since there's just no way to kill the enemies that are higher level than you, let alone take the outpost undetected. Another ridiculous design decision that i could not understand is stripping away core features like the wing suit, self heal, grappling hook, fast travel etc and making them unavailable until you grind enough perks to unlock them, it makes playing the game feel like such a chore and it's obviously a decision made to increase the longevity of the game and as an incentive to purchase Perks/XP Boosters from the UbiStore, which is really low. I'm usually a fan of the franchise but I can't stand watching it being bastardized. The setting is aesthetically pleasing so that's something to look forward to if you're into stuff like this I guess, but it's definitely not what I had in mind when I was told the game has a post-apocalyptic setting. In conclusion, I suggest you skip this cash grab and wait for Far Cry 6 instead.… Expand

In this case it was a bland, fun-sucked-out fetch this, kill this amusement ride. Gameplay is identical as any other entry in the series except they keep beefing up the RPG elements which feel clunky like a horse riding a zebra on a unicycle. Level requirements, bullet-sponge enemies, "Legendary" weaponry that should have been an upgrade to an preexisting crafting element in FC but instead feel like you've upgraded type of diabetes.

    Honestly, the world feels and looks more vivid and bright than FC5, and I would have loved the colorful aesthetic were it not a blatant rip-off and a slap in the face to some other games I won't mention here. AI is a dread to even think of, dull, disoriented and plain dumb. What fascinates me are the critic reviews, oh I mean paid-off reviews that praise this hot mess and bloat "positive" reviews.

As a    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. 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

    In game play was mostly alright but repetitive and added nothing that had not been done in Far Cry 5. Indeed in a sense this game feels like a DLC and not a new addition to the series. It would have been nice to see some new opponents with unique skills and abilities and a wider range of adversaries, rather than the mostly generic, Highwaymen.

    Another bland addition to the Far Cry franchise unless you really really like pink, that is. 2/10 from me.    … Expand

    They reused most of the assets in game: UI, same, sound same, and what happened to animations? No skinning animation no interacting animation. But story looks OK and graphics are good.

    Boring game with boring characters, lack of innovative environment and very bad dialogs. Looks like developers do not understand proper story telling. Visuals are really laughable for post-apocaliptic world. Most NPC are below average and talk nonsense. There is no deep character development so you cannot connect with it. And this is the biggest problem... you feel nothing. This game is garbage.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After finishing Far Cry 5 I thought it would be cool to play this because it is a continuation to the story from Far Cry 5. This is nothing like Far Cry 5. Enemies are bullet sponges even on "explorer" difficulty, animals like bears and buffalo will completely exhaust your ammunition with their boss like hitpoints. Reminds me quite a bit of The Division games.. Two out of three enemies is wearing a helmet that takes like 6 headshots from a powerful weapon to knock off and expose them to a headshot. "Scavenging" outposts and doing them over after capturing them is the lamest game mechanic I've ever seen. The map is much smaller than Far Cry 5. Everything is pink and it wears on the eyes if your monitor has vibrant colors. Characters and story are terribly boring. Weapons are a pale shadow of what they were in FC5. I paid $10 and I wish I could get my money back. Giving it a 1 out of 10 because the dog jumps in the passenger seat of the vehicle you're driving in this and it didn't in FC5, that's the only pleasant surprise I found in this hot mess.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played every Far cry title since day one but the 5th was the only one i actually completed.
    it was also the only one that thoroughly enjoyed and will gladly play it again.

    so, to hear and read all the info about New Dawn i was absolutely over the moon.
    a follow on to the best Far Cry title to date? get the Flip in!!!!

    I even pre ordered it and booked a day off work to have a long weekend on it.

    the first 10mins were breath taking, lots of similarities and plenty of new stuff.
    making it seem like a great purchase.

    my first gripe was the bouncing damage numbers making it feel like some arcade shoot em up. as well as the huge HP bars above the characters.
    thankfully it is possible to turn these off making it a bit more realistic.

    but with these turned off you cannot tell the rank of the NPC.
    meaning you could come across a legendary lv3 mouse and unload 3 full M60 belts into it and it kills you several times.
    so energy bars had to be turned back on.

    after realising its all about the Tier level of your weapons that hindered game progression i set to grinding the items needed to unlock them.

    this took all of a few hours to have the best guns in the game,

    the story line was awful.. i felt lost most the time and it only felt like i interacted with the twins a couple of times in the entire game. there was no flow or smooth progression at any point with any of the story line. then the twins were dead and i am now supposed to kill some mega demon to do with the story line from 5 ..... WTF.

    when running through the bushes with my new side kick they would make the same sound no matter what they walked on or through.
    it might of been some grass, a bush or a giant tree. no matter which one it was the sound made was similar to the sound barbed wire makes in Rainbow six siege.

    although they have used the old map it feels smaller and easier to navigate once you have unlocked fast travel. you never need a car or the need to walk any where again.
    there is hardly any actual content... there are 8 outposts that have a handful of NPC that need killing.
    once killed you can reset the outpost making it a little bit harder to clear the next time.
    then there are the expeditions which seem great the first time you do them, but soon get boring the 3rd time with slightly harder NPCs to fight.
    or if you really want some fun you can spend several hours gathering Tape, cogs and crafting items from the woods while been attacked by woodland creatures that are harder to kill than superman in a hummer.

    there are no more clutch nixon style events to try and beat others at....
    the parachuting, skydiving and wingsuit mechanics are abysmal.
    when i wasnt been killed over and over by legendary wombats and otters, i was been killed by my next most popular way to die.. jumping off a cliff to parachute or wingsuit only to have neither work and splat on a rock.

    its basically a total waste of money.
    it should of been sold as an expansion for 5 at about £20 on release dropping to about £10 after.

    if you like your sequels to be an awful copy and paste with the Hues and Vibrancy of colours increased .With 2 terribly written plots and absolutely zero replay value i can recommend New Dawn.    … Expand

    2) the "new" stuff, a.k.a. the RPG elements, are just making bad what was perfectly fine: in order to do some mission is not about the relevance of the mission itself or you ability. It's just a matter of levels.
    Do you want to try a level 3 mission and you have first-level weapons and other stuff? Simple: you die! Have you level 3 weapon and going to discover a new outpost (which is always at level 1 at the beginning)...ok, you are a sort of unbeatable god. It does not make sense. It is simply so much worse than before. I give you just an example: I have a full level-2 equipment. I was struggling to run away from a level-3 bear. Finally I killed it: something like 3 C4 and 10 saw were needed. Speechless.
    3) random and boring grinding (or microtransaction...tah-dah!) to unlock powerful weapon and vehicles that were used to be unlocked just playing and discovering new stuff in the map. Since is REALLY annoying to grind so much, probably you will play most of the game with the same 3/4/5 weapons that you are to find/unlock.
    4) even in this annoying "kind-RPG" setup, it is still far cry. The shooting isn't bad, and so on. But there are really a few vehicles and weapons. And there are just the same for each level. You are just getting the same weapons, but more powerful. That's it.

    I'm still playing it in co-op with a friend and I'm having fun but is really annoying that the game would have been so much better without useless new "please buy with micro-transaction" stuff.

    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.
