    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).

    Far Cry New Dawn is a 2019 first person shooter, both spin-off and sequel to Far Cry 5. In reality it is more of an expansion of 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

    Ich habe Far Cry 5 schon in den Himmel gelobt und findealles in New Dawn nochmal etwas besser gemacht.

    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 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.

    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.

    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

    I like the Far Cry franchise. It always has quite fun and simple gameplay and beautiful graphics.
    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).

    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

    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 :)

    It's basically Far Cry 5 with a few new gameplay elements. Whoever decided to add RPG elements into the game, deserves to lose their job. Other than that, it was quite fun and I'll recommend it (on sale).

    Are you kidding me? In coop two players can only play together when they are in a diestance of 100 feet. And I never played a game where I just hoped there would be no story, no charakters. Only gameplay. The gameplay is fantastic in my opinion. most of the time. But the rest of it... is ****

    It is basically fc5 dlc. Even though it uses 5's map they managed to ruin it. This post apocalyptic world doesn't look post apocalyptic. So much pink and green. It is sooo colorful. What kind of radiation is that?

    To do main missions you need to do side missions. It is annoying busywork. Now ubisoft...side missions are supposed to be SIDE MISSIONS. They should be optional. When you force them it is not side mission anymore!

    Unnecessary rpg elements. Blue gun, purple enemy, green mission. F*CK OFF!

    Enemies are bullet sponge because your weapon is blue and enemy is red or something. You blow them into pieces? Too bad your level is not high enough...

    There are microtransactions! Goddamn microtransactions.

    There are more weapons now. Some came back from previous fc's and others are new.

    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

    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.

I really liked the whole line of quests with , especially in those moments when the protagonist fell into "euphoria", since it was visually beautiful.
    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

    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    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

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

    Sqaundered potential for a good game. Some of the character development and design of the game is very interesting and visually pleasing. Although after the intro section the characters become very much more one dimensional and boring. That aside the worst aspect of this game is the leveling/crafting of leveled gear.    ***GAME IS EFFECTIVLY UNPLAYABLE WITHOUT MICROTRANSACTIONS***

    Sqaundered potential for a good game. Some of the character development and design of the game is very interesting and visually pleasing. Although after the intro section the characters become very much more one dimensional and boring.

    That aside the worst aspect of this game is the leveling/crafting of leveled gear. everytime you progress through the game the enemys get harder to defeat with the gear equiped. the difficulty spikes are arranged in such a way that it is incredibly difficult to continue without paying real money to ubisoft to allow the player to level up thier gear via the in game micro transactions. this makes the game very frustrating to complete and even on the lowest difficulty, the player finds themselves unable to progress very abruptly without leveling up gear with resources that become very difficult to accrue once you get under-leveled to the surrounding environment. During this entire game the option of paying some more money to ubisoft is dangled infront of the player to level up gear.

    The game is mostly unplayeble in the state you get it at a full AAA price point unless the end user is adding cost beyond that already premium pricepoint after the inital purchase for gear upgrades. This is a progression system usually reserved for the worst examples of free to play mobile games but instead this is a full price PC game.

    I got this game on sale for about 85% off and that small amount of money ubisoft got off me has ensured I will not be looking into thier future titles at all. Ubisofts management is clearly looking to swindle consumers for short term gains at the expense of reputation and retaining a fanbase. I hope that ubisoft may consider better managment in future otherwise customers will not continue to buy thier games. What was once a company behind some great games that gamers would hold in high regard seems to have become solely motivated to squeeze short term profit from unlucky consumers.

    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.

    * 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.

    * 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

    The game is absolutely gorgeous. The environment is vibrant and spacious, the animations are smooth and clean, and the voice acting is good too.

    But it's just not fun. The missions feel pointless, the story is way too linear, and it's just not enjoyable to play.

    I wanted to like it because it looks so good, but if it's not fun, then what's the point?

    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

    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.

    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

    * Excellent texture quality
    * Excellent rendering of the people in the game, specifically their faces.
    * Rendering of the landscapes seem improved over FC5 - it's a very 'pretty' game and location.
    * Functional SLI support.
    * Ubisoft re-did the animations for takedowns (thank God) - they were awful in FC5 - your character now uses a knife like he should on most regular takedowns.
    * Some new reload animations
    * A little better AI in this game
    * 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.

    Overall: 4/10 – FC4 is still king by a lot    … 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.
