    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, I am not interested in politics beliefs being forced on me while playing a game, so I am relieved this game did not dive deep into the current American political landscape. Most negative reviews focus on that, I think it is silly to expect such a thing from any game, but especially something like Far Cry. That said the story is a bit empty, I think it would be more engaging if the central character, "the deputy", spoke. Silent protagonists are weird and I can never relate to them.
    Story aside Hope County, Montana is an interesting place from afar. With all the delay and hype I was a bit surprised at how similar Far Cry 5's new engine resembles the build from Far Cry 4 and primal. The environment is pretty and colorful but lacks depth, you do not feel like you can really engage with anything. Think GTA V, almost 5 years old now, where you feel compelled to study the little details in a room or on a landscape and actually feel like they can be interacted with. Not to mention most things you shoot do not react. There is a somewhat plastic like feel to Far Cry 5 that is hard to ignore, like you could easily punch through the surface. This is the same issue as it's predecessors and something I expected would change. How a game like Far Cry 5 in 2018 has not better incorporated destructible environments and detail rich landscapes is beyond me. And be prepared, because just like the last two games there are only about 2 or 3 villain models, so you often find you are shooting and blowing up the same guys over and over. Revamping these types of details, richer more immersive environments and a speaking protagonist would go a long way to make Far Cry 5 a better and more memorable game. Wasn't that the whole point of waiting 2-3 years?
    The weapons: I feel like the last two games respectively had an increasing arsenal that never left you wanting more. It was a nice surprise after completing a long campaign mission in Far Cry 4 to be rewarded with new weapons to buy that had previously not been visible in the store. It left something to work for, and a surprise to be excited about as you progressed. Here, perhaps because of the inclusion of more vehicles, the weapons selection is hugely trimmed down. I kept waiting for more to appear but now at the end of the game I realize that is not going to happen. I was very disappointed not to see more contemporary weapons and just a small variety of classics. For example the sub machine gun category basically has two guns, an old WW2 era machine gun with low damage that oddly becomes available later in the game, and three varieties of the MP5 all with basically the same stats. With sniper rifles and assault rifles it is the same situation: 2-3 choices. This is the 5th iteration and the games central appeal is gun play yet Ubisoft removes 75% of the guns from the game leaving a bare bones selection that you tire of quickly. This results in the guns that require further progression to unlock and buy are the same guns you already have, just with a different paint job or shorter stock, pretty lame. The mod system is exactly the same as the last two games as well, I was hoping for a grenade launcher attachment or laser sights, something to set this game apart.
    These complaints aside Far Cry 5 has its moments. A truck would come out of nowhere and crash me off the road, forcing me to think fast and fight for my life. Or I would have to jump into a tractor and mow down zombie-like drugged cultists. Often times the game would take you somewhere when you least expected it, and mostly it was fun. Far Cry 5 shines in these little moments. Also some of the less significant characters are quite entertaining. The Peggy's philosophy could be better developed and more intriguing to add a level of complexity that is missing. It can also be frustrating to have just taken over an outpost and still be looting the place, to suddenly become drugged and whisked off to one of Faith's weird hallucinations in the Bliss. It is times like these where the action in Far Cry 5 is actually at odds with the story. I don't care about your stupid nonsensical beliefs, I was in the middle of hunting a bear! In the new progression system you increase your resistance level by completing missions, helping the rebels and capturing outposts, but reaching a certain level causes you to suddenly be forced to take part in a boss battle after barely surviving the capturing of an outpost when you have few supplies remaining. Bad timing, let me prepare for the fight with the tools you have made available instead of forcing me into one. Overall I was disappointed after all the waiting and hype, but it is still a Far Cry game at its core and most fans will have a good time returning to this universe, though it may leave a few things to be desired. Lets hope the upcoming DLC will help and hopefully add more weapons, I did buy the season pass after all! 7.5/10

    Far Cry 5 pits the player against an armed religious cult in yet another Ubisoft sandbox, this time set in rural America. The mesmerising Joseph Seed leads the Project at Eden's Gate cult and makes for a fun to watch antagonist. Playing as a Sheriff's deputy, your task is to oust Joseph from power and free your allies after your attempt to arrest him went south.

    It's an enjoyable FPS game

Playing as a Sheriff's deputy, your task is to oust Joseph from power and free your allies after your attempt to arrest him went south.

    It's an enjoyable FPS game that's not afraid to get silly at times - some of the side quests are quite amusing and the ample selection of weapons, vehicles and companions let you wreak havoc however you see fit. You can tackle the game's three main regions in any order, and you progress the overall story by doing pretty much any activity you run into. The charisma of Far Cry 5's big bad is the story's greatest asset, and although some plot points are rather nonsensical, it's a compelling enough ride. The ending is suitably disturbing and caps the game off nicely.

    The gameplay is par for the course for this kind of title. You've got enough options in combat and traversal that you'll find something that clicks, but nothing is exceptional or truly innovative. It's good enough but it doesn't break the mould. Unfortunately, I ran into a number of bugs during my playthrough, a couple of which were quite disruptive.

    Far Cry 5 is a safe bet if you're looking for a solid open world FPS with a good balance of exploration, combat, and story. It didn't blow me away but it ticked the right boxes and I had fun with it.

    Far Cry 5 biggest problem is the chaotic nature of the gameplay, no I don't mean the story. I.E. I was wingsuiting down from a mountain towards a mission I was in the middle of. Apparently I flew over another mission zone and exited the zone. Thus I re-spawned near the other mission zone.
    Maybe ubisoft will fix these problems with the chaotic gameplay mechanics in the future but, it's

The fact that all this was added after the fact means it's still not a recommendation from me. It should have been in top form on release. If you can find it under $10 maybe give it a shot

When finishing missions the delay that would come from dialogue and actually getting the mission to fully end was very inconsistent and annoying. Often times it would be a minute or so after I had done the last part of the mission and I was still unable to talk to the NPC or for whatever reason whoever was talking over the radio would break their speech up into five parts for seemingly no reason. The A.I in this game from the enemies was pretty poor too. There would be times when in the mission your ally would tell you to be quiet but when you would try to take the stealthy approach enemies would just randomly spot you even though an indicator wouldn't pop up. There didn't seem to be many other ways other than just going in guns a blazing in each mission. My biggest gripe with the game though was how bad the driving was and how much of a contrast there was between flying and driving. Once I unlocked the helicopters and planes I found myself never driving just due to how poorly the vehicles handled and how frustrating it was at times to get to my destination. Expand

    Ну честно говоря после унылой Far Cry 4, ждал возвращения формата трёшки, но Ubisoft Montreal разработали то, что разработали.

    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.

    As a big fan of the Far Cry series, i was very excited to play Far Cry 5 and my expectations were quite high as a result. To be honest I was a little bit disappointed, but overall the game was quite fun.
    Positives:
    - The game continues the trend of having some of the best and well written villains. Joseph, John, Jacob and Faith are all really good villains and each one's missions are unique.
    - There is a plethora of vehicles to buy/find and use. Cars, trucks, ATVs, boats, helicopters and planes are available to help you traverse and fight the enemies.
    - The number of outposts is just right, there aren't too many or too few. They all have different layouts, so every one of them feels like a new challenge.
    - The graphics are very good, even though the ground can be a little bland at times.
    - The Guns/Fangs For Hire is a very well implemented mechanic, your allies can be really helpful and there is a really diverse (when it comes to abilities) roster of special characters, so it's almost certain that you will find someone suiting your playstyle.

    Negatives:
    - The weapon selection is really bland. All the assault rifles feel basically the same and that's also true for the snipers.
    - The crafting system has really been downgraded. In previous games you had to collect skins from certain animals so you can carry more weapons, money, items and ammo. Now all of this is put into the perk system.
    - The perk system. I don't mind that the developers decided to ditch the "perk tree" system and basically allow you to buy any perk you want, given you have enough perk points. The problem is that you don't get points with XP like the previous games, you get them through challenges, perk magazines and some main missions, so there is no reason to really fight after a point and side missions also don't really have that much value. There are a lot of useless perks too

    Conclusion: Far Cry 5 is a good and fun game that continues the series's run of good games, but it's flaws holds it back from being great.

    Why not make it skippeable after X tries (on Easy)? Well, probably because it wasn't playtested enough. Or because Ubisoft hates their customers. Who can tell.

    I think where it fails most is by making your character an anonymous nameless male or female protagonist who never speaks. In some games this can work perfectly, but when the character is so integral to the story, it really doesn't.

    In the previous games, NPCs were mostly soldiers in uniform, so repeating the same character models never really became an issue. However, the small roster of characters is very evident in Far Cry 5 to the point of being distracting.

    I applaud the developer for trying to mix things up and try to freshen the game mechanics a little with the inclusion of a fishing mini game, planes and helicopters to fly, and the removal of the ubiquitous tower climbing. But, I actually liked the tower climbing in the other games, and seeing new locations revealed after conquering it. I missed it being in the game.

    Another change is the introduction of buddies that can accompany you, some of whom bring air support. It's a nice idea, and the banter with them is very amusing at times, but it ultimately makes raiding enemy outposts much too easy. You can usually retake an outpost by sniping a few enemies and letting your buddy in the helicopter or plane finish the rest. There's not much of a challenge to it.

    I wanted to like the story more than I did, but I found it very disjointed and jarring at times. I appreciate what they were trying to do, but it didn't really work for me. There were simply too many WTF moments, and not in a good way.

    That said, I had fun with Far Cry 5. It's a quality product, albeit a flawed and forgettable one. The graphics are very pretty, the sound and music are nice, and shooting and blowing things up is still as satisfying as ever.

    Every Far Cry game since FC3 has been basically the same with some new minor features and a different paint job. They're not bad games, it's just that they haven't really evolved that much from their original succes formula. For me, the 'Murica and cult theme is really enjoyable. The non-linear approach is a nice refreshment for the series and the specialists you can unlock too.

They're not bad games, it's just that they haven't really evolved that much from their original succes formula. For me, the 'Murica and cult theme is really enjoyable. The non-linear approach is a nice refreshment for the series and the specialists you can unlock too. Arcade mode will be fun for a couple of hours, but it's also a glitchy mess. Overall, this is my favourite Far Cry game so far but I feel like Ubisoft could definitely do better than this if they really put their heart in it. Expand

    Decent enough game. Gameplay wise it is good, story wise...could have been better. Many of FC 5's theme's are a bit cringe and lame, such as the "angels" (pretty much zombies) and the boss battles left a lot to be desired. Many parts of the game were down right irritating. Even on the + difficult setting the game was a breeze given all the help from allies and over powered weapons and concoctions.

    I have never played a game all the way through where I was just mad at it the whole time but FC5 was just that, a very frustrating experience but with just enough good to keep me going. I am a fan of the Far Cry series but this will be my last purchase of anything Far Cry, to save everyone time I just put dot points to the highs and lows of FC5.

    The Good: Core game play is still great
    I have never played a game all the way through where I was just mad at it the whole time but FC5 was just that, a very frustrating experience but with just enough good to keep me going. I am a fan of the Far Cry series but this will be my last purchase of anything Far Cry, to save everyone time I just put dot points to the highs and lows of FC5.

    The Good:
    Core game play is still great with one man gorilla army being the major draw of the series

    Some of the side characters are a lot of fun

    Looks great and may be my favorite setting of the series

    Gets political but not in an annoying way, especially seeing how it makes fun of my camp of politics with it feeling satirical rather then an attack on my way of thinking. This has one exception unfortunately.

    The Bad:
    Just about all main missions are boring and lacking in creativity. The game often abandons the Gorilla warfare/tool box design and puts you in a small room or hallway with set spawns for enemy's turning the game into a painfully average shooter. Focus on what makes the game great and build on that, have open areas where you can approach the objective in many ways rather then a bad COD mission.

    Hard mode is a mixed bag, with just enemy damaged values and visibility of the player character increased so the lazy way of doing a hard mode. Works well in the open world as it makes you play more conservative and cautiously, amplifying the Gorilla warfare angle of the series. But story missions are awful on hard mode with you having no choice but fight head on, at best it s a grind and at worst its almost unplayable, just try the opening mission on hard.

    Hunting is way less of a focus and is just for money and not upgrades, considering the setting this was a huge shock. Also it feels very grindy to get money from hunting, this feeling is amplified by micotrasactions in the single player.

    The randomness of the world back fires often with you dying from events completely out of your control, a lot of this is attributed to enemy vehicles that are a lot more common in this game then the rest of the series.

    AI needed a little more time in the oven, friendly NPC often are more detrimental to your efforts then any assistance they can offer. Roaming friendly NPC's will straight up get you killed.

    The Antagonists are trying really hard to be menacing but just come off as incompetent idiots. Also having the bad guys just talk to you while the player character just stands there and stares is just frustrating, guess they where hoping we would be entranced by the performances not to notice.......

    Story takes the ever so popular nihilistic view of the world which ends up just being cute.

    Ending is trying hard to say something but like the rest of the story misses the mark, mostly from its nihilistic views. Worst part is it makes you never want to play it again.

    Trump references can take you out of the game and boil down to 'Orange Man Bad'. Satire is fine but its hinted that Trumps election is a major motivation for the main antagonist...'roles eyes'.

    Conclusion:
    This is Far Cry, its a goofy game where you take on a whole army with Gorilla style warfare. Learn to read an audience and focus on what makes these games fun or completely re-hall it and give us a brand new experience. Middle of the road design just gives you mediocrity and that is what we have here, a painfully mediocre game with moments of greatness and an almost embarrassing story.

    5/10, I ended up just being disappointed

I completed the game 100%, collected all the collectibles, went through all the missions and I can confidently say that ... well, meh. The conclusion is ambiguous. A beautiful picture, optimization, convenient gameplay, a variety of everything - this is certainly great and cool ... the first couple of hours. Behind these pluses are their own minuses:
    1) Nice, but in some places there are flaws.
    2) Easy to play, too much. Too arcade and clumsy.
    3) There are various additional. quests, but after a couple of hours of playing, you start to go through them without enthusiasm.
    4) Nameless hero. You play as a faceless character with no name or history. You are just a body following orders. You do not feel like a significant character, but a simple NPC who, like everyone else, disappears around the corner. The problem is that you will not disappear, but you will be forced to wander through endless, beautiful meadows, high dangerous mountains in search of the same type of cutscene where Joseph again complains to you that you thwarted his plans.
    By the way about Joseph. I've always liked antagonists in the FarCry series. Vaas, Pagan were interesting opponents. Joseph was no exception. The main character is fighting a tightly repulsed fanatic who has a goal as strange and unimaginable as himself. It is interesting to watch his efforts, failures, emotions (Though sometimes it seems too much ... yes, **** I'm talking about the snot scene. It's certainly cool that you decided to show Joseph's emotions to the maximum, but it's disgusting).
    Missions in the game are default for the series ... and for many games, in principle: bring this, kill that, blow up something. Nothing to say about them, except one: THANKS ... UBISOFT ... for the coolest stunt missions of Clutch Nixon. These are really funny, interesting missions and with an awesome soundtrack (I even added myself to Spotify). There are of course a few other cool missions. I will not say that all missions are bad ... but most of them.
    The verdict is as follows: 7 points. Even though more than half of the game sucks, I enjoyed it and I don’t regret wasting my time on it ... almost don’t regret it.

Система прогрессии мне более или менее понравилась. Идея конечно классная, но реализация плохая. Чтобы открыть доступ к убийству антагониста, нудно выполнить не только сюжетные задания, но и выполнить дополнительные задания, зачисть аванпосты, сломать постройки секты. Но уже ближе к середине игры это становится скучно. Сплошной и не особо интересный гринд. В целом игра мне понравилась, она лучше, чем Far Cry 4, идея на тему религии, секты и конца мира - очень крутая, но это Ubisoft, и они такой потенциал упустили.

    Removing the best Far Cry features, Far Cry 5 brings the series to a "generic FPS" state, which you are nobody and your only objective is to blow some heads.

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

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?

    It all went downhill from here. Although I would argue it was a pretty fun game.

    The gameplay in this game is the most entertaining part of it, it's very well done and there's many weapons to choose from. Graphics are beautiful and pleasant to look at.

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

    Keeps with the tradition of previous Far Cry titles. Storywise isn't the most creative so far, acceptable but not fascinating. Tends to become a bit repetitive which makes you progressively focus more on main missions rather than go for completionist. Playability is good, replayability interest is very low.

If you're into the franchise it's worth your time. Titles 2 to 4 were, in my opinion, the best. This doesn't add something really new but it is entertaining. Expand

    It's been a while since I finished Far Cry 5 but I forgot to rate the game. 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.

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

    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.

    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.

    A mostly excellent sandbox that delights with its gorgeous world, breadth of activities, and stellar shootouts. It can be a bit grindy, mind.[June 2018, p.93]

    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.
