    Beautifully stunning visuals, but most boring & predictable gameplay in all Far Cry series.

    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

    Worst Far Cry.
    It has a real bad shooting system.
    I don't like its atmosphere it's a little weird but It has some beautiful sceneries.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Far Cry: New Dawn is an admirable yet at the same time disappointing addition to the series, wasting the fresh take on post-apocalypse by refusing to reinvent itself for the new world.

    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).

    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]

    Only full-time members of Joseph Seed's cult hooked on bliss will enjoy playing Far Cry: New Dawn from start to finish. The others will eventually get tired of psychedelic palette and recycled content.

    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.
