    great graphics and that's it, lol, the gameplay is the good old way of far cry but, weak plot, and the main villain had everything to be the best so far, and unfortunately it was just mediocre.

A friend called the game like Far Cry 4 on cocaine, and I definitely agree in part, but at the same time, the game is almost not similar to Far Cry 4. There are 4 villains, one of which is the main one, and the game allows you to kill whoever you want first. Completely gone are the towers for exploring the surroundings, which is solved here so that you simply accidentally find a building or something like that on the blind. It is the first part where you can create your character yourself, which is basically a small insignificant plus. Joseph Seed is a pretty interesting villain who has a pretty good motivation, but even so, his fanatical **** started to piss me off pretty quickly. The gameplay is a lot of fun and I didn't have time to get bored. Each boss fight was original in its own way, just like the bosses Faith, John and Jacob themselves. The arsenal of weapons here is great. There are definitely as many weapons as you will ever need. Activities in the open world like blasting tanks, liberation and others make the game even more fun and you can be helped in your journey by a friend you play with online or companions you get during the game. Unfortunately, the story here is downright subpar and it's better to ignore it. Physics lags behind, and you can't avoid repetition here either. Furthermore, complete illogicality... So 10X per game your character faints and appears next to the opponent. I can't say that, unlike its predecessors, it's a Masterpiece or an amazing game, but it's definitely a fun action ride that doesn't just get tired with its gameplay, but at the same time doesn't exactly excite you twice. You see... Far Cry 3 has always been my favorite game in the series. I played it for the first time some 5 years ago and I really enjoyed it and it set my mind on other Far Cry games. However, now a few years later, I have to say that Far Cry 4 is something unreal and that even Far Cry 3 does not reach it. + Negative + Gameplay and bosses + Arsenal of weapons + Open world + Possibility of multiplayer - The story - Physics - repetitiveness - illogicality 7/10… Expand

    Keeps with the tradition of previous Far Cry titles. Storywise isn't the most creative so far, acceptable but not fascinating.

Joseph Seed is a decent villain, but definitely not even close of being as good of a character as the likes of Vaas or Pagan Min. The whole plot is actually ridiculous for that matter; each of the cult's captains have very nonsensical motives and purposes, and they're bland in character, no substance. At first I thought Joseph was a bad villain but to be honest he redeems himself as a good villain in the end with a huge twist that will definitely suprise any first timers, so definitely look forward to it. Overall a solid game, but falls short in certain aspects that could've used more effort.… Expand

All the pursue missions are a fcking mess. Random sht happens on the way to ruin your mission, I know it's not intended because when you reload the checkpoint, it doesn't happen again. Sometimes your target straight up falls into a buggy loop or randomly just drops dead and your mission succeeds. Wanna do stealth? Enemies sometimes see corpses that are well hidden, or sometimes a random NPC runs into the compound and starts a fight with the outpost and ruins your stealth run. What the actual fck? Can Ubisoft even program?
    Edit: okay I forced myself to finish the game. I think this game's story is written by a mountain troll. By far the weakest story in the far cry franchise, for crying out loud even in the whole gaming history.    … Expand

    If it's the first Far Cry you've played, you'll like it, if it's not the first, you'll find it a little boring.
    The game is not bad, it's far from it, the game has its charm since the strong point of the game is certainly the environment, as always Ubisoft games fail in the open world, a game overall okay, despite its flaws problems I recommend.    … Expand

    Follows the classic far cry gameplay of a mad maniac controlling a specific area and the user must run around the map destroying propaganda, animals, outposts, and anything that stands in your way. Overall game is fun if you like the far cry series, but it definitely gets tedious and repetitive. The score gets brought down due to a absolute terrible ending.

    Kinda fun gameplay and it looks good. The story is just kinda bad honestly, The characters are boring. The structure of the story just makes it seem unimportant. There's zero depth to the story, or it isn't comunicated well. the open world is fun to explore which is a plus. I recommend it if you like far cry games but it doesnt offer anything new or intersting.

    Ну честно говоря после унылой Far Cry 4, ждал возвращения формата трёшки, но Ubisoft Montreal разработали то, что разработали.
    И так, что мы имеем.
    Разработчики всё таки посидели и подумали над харизматичностью новых антагонистов. И у них это, на мой взгляд, получилось. Иосиф, Иаков, Иоанн и Вера Сиды на мой взгляд очень хорошо прописанные, реально мотивированные персонажи. В отличии от того же Пейгана Мина из четверки, чья мотивация была с родни мотивации злодея из какой нибудь Just Cause.
    Структуру прохождения изменили. Разведовательные вышки исчезли, теперь это открытый мир, но поделённый на три части, со своей структурой, своими врагами и своим боссом в финале. Я не скажу, что мне это жутко понравилось, особенно десятки сваливающихся тебе на голову врагов в финале каждой части, но это было хоть какое-то нововведение за долгие годы. Хотя вышки мне в принципе нравились.
    Действие из джунглей перекочевало в смешанные локации, что пошло игре на благо.
    Но вот собственно и всё, что по сути выгодно отличает Far Cry 5 от предшественников. Теперь не об очень весёлом.
    Перестрелки не изменились от слова совсем, это не плохо, но и новшеством это не назовёшь. И вообще с оружием в Far Cryах до New Dawn, на мой взгляд, всё очень грустно. Его какой-то сонм, но в 99% случаев это просто хлам, тратить деньги на который не имеет никакого смысла. Во 2ой, 3ей, 4ой и 5ой частях я подбирал себе весь арсенал в первой трети игры и проходил с ним успешно до конца. Покупать новые стволы просто нет смысла, так как отличия столь мизерны, а цены так высоки, что просто теряется вся рентабельность данного действия. В New Dawn это изменили, игру просто невероятно трудно пройти с оружием 2го уровня сражаясь против врагов 3го.
    Это же касается и напарников их много, но пользоваться вы будете только двумя - тремя. Особенно полезен напарник пилот. Так как в игре появились враги лётчики. Они выслеживают тебя с воздуха, от них практически нельзя спрятаться, сбить самолёт с земли ну практически не возможно, а летать на самолёте самому в Far Cry это также удобно, как засунуть себе большой палец левой ноги в правое ухо. А напарник их отвлекает, а иногда сбивает.
    Кстати протагонист теперь по сути трансгендер, можно играть как за девочку так и за мальчика отличий "0". И то и другое глухонемые.
    Визуальная часть не изменилась совсем, прокачка по большому счёту тоже.
    И так вывод. В Far Cry 5 мне понравилась история семейки Сидов, особенно если проходить вместе с New Dawn. История цельная, не глупая и в дополнении имеет логическое завершение. Неплохая атмосфера игры держит довольно крепко. 98% геймплейных механик перекочевали из Far Cry 4, так что кому всё это нравится, советую.    … Expand

Side missions varied with some really funny/interesting characters, such as Hurk’s dad and a movie director, with some duds, like kill animal/fetch quests. I ignored most of the side collectable activities because I did not find them very fun. These involved finding ways to get into underground bunkers to collect magazines for perk points and map exploration destruction targets (shrines and beacons). I did enjoy assaulting and taking control of cult outposts and the stunt devil activities. The companion system was a bit lackluster with active companions randomly disappearing. Instead of automatically re-appearing when their death/random disappearance timer expired you need to actively re-slot them which ended up just being annoying. Also, the companions control options were very bare bones and sometimes nonfunctional (example: controls of the helicopter companion involving landing). One constant annoyance I ran across was the number of interruptions by cultist aircraft. No matter where you are or what you are doing, the cult air force will make it their mission to interrupt quest progression activities (primarily interrupting turning in a quest or progressing NPC dialogue). My most memorable moment has to be the games’ ending. The game concludes on an interesting twist and provides a nice contrast to an otherwise mediocre tale of generic story villains.… Expand

So, I think it would have been a good idea to let you choose an easier level for those who prefer to focus on the story. I haven't watched the end but from my experience and having beaten Far Cry 3 some years ago I think this game could be rated with a 7 or an 8 at most. Gameplay is good but I think the game should be shorter or to put more story things during game because if not you can lose interest in the game. To sum up, this game is nothing out of the ordinary and it's not a bad game per se but know that you might end up stuck or having to repeat some missons if you are not a pro or you stick only to the main missions.… Expand

    This fresh take on the Far Cry franchise is clearly visible content-wise, but a tad more discrete on the style. If you're not bothered by the slightly repetitive formula, you'll enjoy the many strengths of this episode.

    Far Cry 5 established itself as one of the best in the series, The game features some gorgeous scenery, an engaging story and the overall story is great fun and the theme is very realistic. The game mixes up the missions so it doesn't get repetitive halfway through the game. Far Cry 5 is a great entry to the series for newbies and veterans alike.
