    Story is follow up to 5(and this is bad)nuclear war happened and now we are in post apocalyptic world. I'll come back to this later.

    Twins are the most forgettable unmemorable far cry villains ever. They are not scary, funny or makes you question yourself. They are just bland and cringe. Other characters are not better either. They just...exist. It is basically fc5 dlc. Even    Story is follow up to 5(and this is bad)nuclear war happened and now we are in post apocalyptic world. I'll come back to this later.

    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.

    The only interesting thing about this garbage is that saw launcher.    … Expand

    Another example of politically correct garbage, a cash-grab and a lazy job by the developers, don't even bother with it.
    It's not even a Far Cry game anymore.

    Wow. What in the world happened to this series? The AI is beyond stupid. I have rolled up on enemies on a vehicle like 10 feet from them and they have not reacted. I have been able to use the stealth take down while standing right in their face, but maybe they were blind enemies Ubi threw in for some sort of equal opportunity employment?

    There is no sense of challenge in this game.    Wow. What in the world happened to this series? The AI is beyond stupid.

    There is no sense of challenge in this game. Harder enemies are just artificially made harder by giving them a bunch of HP so you do no damage with lower tier guns. It is a grind-fest. Sorry, I came here to play FAR CRY, not some whack FPS RPG like Destiny. I refunded this purchase. Makes me wary of future products by this team, will probably avoid like the plague.    … Expand

    This game is the first Far Cry game I have disliked. TBH I absolutely hate it

    Can't sneak up and kill early game enemies because you need to unlock level 2 stealth kills etc etc

    This game ruins everything good about the series.

    All to sell pay to win MICROTRANSATIONS

    Will not be buying the next Far Cry game if it pulls this BS on the consumer

    worst shooter I have ever played! Needs 100 bullets out of a MG to kill some idiots in motor cycle suits. What a crap. And for the guys with the crown, you will even need more. You will also need about 500 bullets to kill a buffalo. This was the last Far Cry I have bought for sure! Graphics are fine. That's the only positive about this game.

    Downgrade from FC5. RPG mechanics and levels for weapons are a joke when you put 60 bullets into someones faces and see that a 9mm tier 3 weapon does more damage then a 556 AR from level 1. customizing for weapons is gone, what a shame. the game is far shorter in terms of story and has less content for completionists. it really feels like a rushed out spinoff. this could have been a hybridDowngrade from FC5.

    This "game" COULD BE good, but it's not. And here's the reasons why:
    It should've been DLC, not separate game for a f**king 45/55 euros. I swear to God, Ubisoft is no better than EA, Activision or Bethesda, Ubisoft's greed is going through the roof right now.

This is the same sh*tty scheme like it is with AC: Odyssey, The DIvision and other newer Ubi's crappy games.
    And like I said, it's not even a new game - it's modded Far Cry 5 with same graphics, same weapons, sh*t story, annoying political correctness (boring black villains), and now - even bullet sponge enemies... Goddamn ubisoft - you're going downhill faster than I thought...

    Almost everything. The fact that now Far cry is a stat shooter ( yes, a headshot with a gun does not kill most ennemies anymore) kils the gameplay and the fun. It means that there are ennemies you virtually cannot kill at the beginning of the game.
    The story is just not there. There is nothing exciting, no twist, no charismatic antagonist (yes joseph is here but for like 5 minute tops) and its horribly short. The replayability is bad. You will finished the game on difficult at 100% in around 11-12 hours. By then you'll have maxed out weapon, perks, and vehicule that will take all the challenge away.

    The politicaly correct. You feel it through the whole game. Those two twins are empty. They are here because Ubisoft wanted to fullfil a checklissst in their political agenda. They are here because they are black and female, and because the devs wanted you to understand that "ThOsE ArE StRoNg AnTaGoNiSt"

    It is not a good game. It is a politicaly correct skin of Far Cry 5, with a fration of the fun, a fration of the immersion and people are right to hate it.    … Expand

    This title is totally trash, this is even worst than AC Syndicate in my opinion. All ubisoft games look and works the same: go to the point A, go to the point B, attack enemy base, free hostages etc etc it is so boring and repeatable ... Hope they start listen players ... someday and not making mistake like FC New Dawn again.

    Gameplay is the worst. I loved every Farcry before. But in this one, for some reason, you have to level up or even multiple headshots don t hurt enemies. It is like I just shot them with gummy bears. Even Rocket launchers direct hit does not do any damage. The games cheats from beginning to the end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Доброго времени суток!
    Хочу поделиться своим мнением по поводу данной игры.

    Сначала выскажу свое мнение о сюжете и миссии.
    Они очень скучные, нет никакого азарта. Когда вы подойдете к первому "Специалисту" (его будут звать Стручок), то получите от него задание в таком духе: "Найди моего помощника. Он украл у меня мои ценности. Я бы, конечно, сам это сделал, но колени болят и т.п., в общем, не могу".Мы живем в 2019 году, а сценаристы Ubisoft - в 2319. Таких заданий уже нет даже в корейских мморпг играх. Все остальные задания похожи, но с появление "уникального крафта" гринда стала еще больше.

    Перейдем к главным антагонистам, нашему герою и его спутникам.
    С самого начала игры нам показывают, что ни в герое, ни в двух сёстрах нет жизни и души (также как и в спутниках). Отсутствуют сострадание, да и вообще какие-либо чувства к персонажам. Герой немой, просто безжизненная оболочка. И совершенно нет никакого интереса к ним.

    Расскажу про новые фишки.
    Система крафта уже существовала во всех самых древних корейский играх - ничего интересного в этом нет. Новые оружия и техника посредственные. Разработчики могли бы придумать или хотя бы "адаптировать" что-то более интересное, но и так сойдет... В 5-ой части игры оружия было очень мало, но в этой - получше.

    Новый Эдем.
    Мир после ядерной войны (которая была 17 лет назад) выглядит неестественно. Красивый ли он? Нет, он обычный, ничего больше. Забавные только новые животные, но новыми их тоже назвать тяжело: просто цвет поменяли. Но так видят художники, так что тут не могу сказать ничего плохого.
    Новое убежище - это сарай или лачуга. Могли бы сделать что-то более грандиозное, а не одну халупу с пристройками в виде мастерских.

    Гемплей.
    Его нет, он мертвый. Всё, что вы будете делать - это стрелять, захватывать ненужные аванпосты, чтобы прокачивать ненужную халупу. И всё это заправив очень унылыми побочными заданиями, что ещё сильнее вгонит вас в грусть перед этой игрой.

    Вывод:
    Моя оценка это 2 из 10. Ведь эта игра показывает свое отношение Ubisofta к своей аудитории. Что в итоге мы получаем? Мертвую игру, у которой нет души, со старым гемплеем.
    вую игру у которой нету души, со старым гемплеем.    … Expand

    One of the things that surprised me not to be the center of the reviews with FC5 (which was the reason I refunded after an hour of play) was the braindead AI, having finished FC3 to have a reference before playing ND, the enemies are 10IQ smarter than in 5, although the friendly AI is laughable, what is this?

    slapping RPGish elements into an abused franchise, I don't know why nobody says it but the god damned crosshair is misplaced, the enemies are now bullet sponges that show points a la Destiny, it is a total grind, frequently reminding you to drop your cash for some currency and whatnot, graphics are "nice", I think, from an artistic view... however, I think 2019 standard is to use the most ridicule color pallete available, this is supposedly a post-apocalyptic game, but to me it looks like U-be-soft's take on Super Weenie Hut Jr's before RAGE 2, they gotta milk that cows, ynowhamsayin?, it's a shame, refunded.    … 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.
