    Since Far Cry 3 I've been a huge fan of the series. With Far Cry 4, you basically got another FC3 in a different setting and even Primal was a nice spin off, but the series was slowly losing focus.

With Far Cry 4, you basically got another FC3 in a different setting and even Primal was a nice spin off, but the series was slowly losing focus. With Far Cry 5, the game reboots some different core aspects and adapts it to the current setting.

    The game is set in 2017 in a fictional town somewhere in Montana. As always, you have to liberate territories, capture outposts and hunt the big bad guys. There are some key changes in FC5:

    - No more crafting utility belts or pouches. Instead, you have challenges. For every challenge you gain skill points, which can be spent for an additional weapon slot or new moves. The only thing you can craft are temporary boosts. Unlike in Primal, the skilltree is meaningful and thought through.

    - Money is more important than everything else in this game. For completing quests and looting places or bunkers, you gain money which can be spent on weapons, weapon upgrades, clothing, cars, boats, helicopters and even airplanes - most of them are very expensive. A lot of those can be unlocked through missions though, so don't spend all your money on them..

    - Hunting still is a thing, not that much important as in the previous games, but you need to hunt for good money.

    - There are plenty of fishing spots, with different fish to catch, which can be sold for additional cash.

    - You begin with an empty map, so you have to start from scratch. You either uncover it through exploring, or by collecting minimaps which show the location of different animals, collectibles or fishing spots.

    - You have a lot of sidequests you get from people around the world.

    - There are 9 main companions who will help you throughout the game, but you also have an additional slot for random people you can hire. Every one of them is specialized on one specific weapon type and gives you two additional perks.

    - There is no pay to win. Microtransactions, yes, but only cosmetics. You can buy the ingame currency for faster progress, but you won't need it ever.

    - Theres a new mode called "Arcade", where players can play solo or coop on mostly user generated maps. It also comes with a map editor which can be challenging at first, but has a lot to offer for creative minds. Ubi promised constant updates to improve the objects. Arcade is bound to your campaign, so every skill you unlocked, can be used in arcade.

    Its a lot of fun exploring hope county with your companions, different vehicles and weapons. Shooting and driving is very smooth. The only thing that bugs me a bit is the stupid and predictable KI. Even your followers tend to illogical decisions, so hopefully ubi will patch that.

    Another thing thats really annoying is coop. You have to play with someone from your friendslist. There is no joining random coop sessions.    … Expand

    I haven't had a chance to really check out the coop or arcade mode, but from poking around a bit they both appear to be meaty additions that will add some more longevity to the title.    … Expand

    The absolutely best one in the franchise so far. Stunning graphics, incredible gameplay (it never felt so good to shoot people and ride vehicles!) and a very interesting story with charismatic characters. Finally, Montana is so beautiful I can't believe it. 10/10 for me.

I also liked how this game had a different approach where it revolved around a religious cult. Here are my likes and dislikes about the game:

    Likes:
    I liked about 90% of what the game had to offer.

    Dislikes:
    (1) load times.
    (2) vehicle controls.
    (3) enemy AI and your partners are dumb.
    (4) when planes, helicopters crashed it didn't seem too realistic as the body of the plane would still be in tact. Same with vehicles.

    Considering the dislikes of this game it is still a 10/10 as i would never get tired of playing it as I would with other games.    … Expand

    A good story is essential to keep a lot of players interested in your game.

    Characters (0 to 20): 18
    (This includes voice acting / animations and how they complement the story)
    Even if your story is great, if the characters are un-interesting or just stupid in the context of the game, it will ruin the game. A good story-teller is at least as important as a good story.

    Gameplay (0 to 20): 17
    (This includes combat/ movement and the way you interact in the world)
    if you just want a good story with good characters alone, go watch a movie! Gameplay is one if not the most important part of a successful game.

    Design (0 to 15): 12
    (This includes world design / character design / creative spin on common practices)
    Everybody has seen a simple medieval castle / an ordinary zombie and an M16 AR. Keep things fresh and interesting, give game devs the freedom to give their personal spin on things.

    The graphics are amazing, the side quests are quirky, and the fishing is fun and challenging.

    The best part from the whole franchise after FC3.
    Finished it twice with my friend.
    One bad thing is - a friend who will play with you in co-op. He will be like a main player's shadow, who don't get any achievements, story progress (on friend's ps4). His place with you - just run and shoot.

    Особое внимание хочется уделить прокачки навыков и фарму денег. В пятой части серии игр Far Cry побочные задания потерпели серьезные испытания - теперь большинство из них действительны интересны и не являются однотипными как "захвати аванпост, поднимись на вышку". Кстати, вышки, которые открывали частично карту полностью убрали, теперь игроку приходится исследовать все самостоятельно. За удачно пройденные испытания пользователь получает очки, которые можно потратить на приобретение для персонала новых способностей, их улучшения. А за деньги можно приобретать все, что угодно (оружие, модификации к оружию, одежда, автомобиль, самолет и тд) - это одна из причин, почему хочется проходить все больше и больше заданий. Если говорить о донате с "экономией времени", как это любят Ubisoft - тут конечно такое присутствует в виде "серебряных слитков", однако все предметы покупаются легко без доната.

    Мультиплеер:
    Основным преимуществом Far Cry 5 стала возможность проходить игру в компании с другом. Подобная возможность была еще в FC4, но там мультиплеер был сильно ограничен. Если говорить кратко, то игра становится намного интереснее при игре с другом.

    Звук/Саундтрек:
    Большое разнообразие музыкальных композиций самых разных жанров — жуткие сцены становятся еще более пугающими, а во время веселых миссий включаются задорные треки. К локализации тоже трудно придраться.

    Итог:

If you are a fan of Far Cry 3 & 4 and weren’t completely burned out from the repetitive gameplay, Far Cry 5 should be right up your alley. Although, the story is lacking in originality, the acting is superb. Joseph Seed, Far Cry 5’s main antagonist had me almost feeling empathetic towards his cause. The upgrade system has been simplified from that of previous games and a reputation points (RP) system has been implemented. RPs are earned by completing menial tasks which allow you to purchase new upgrades, weapons, and skins. The map is not cluttered with the confusing cluster of icons so locating specific objectives or points of interests is a lot easier.
    Far Cry 5 is not without its faults. Micro-transactions have made their way into yet another modern video game. Thankfully, these are not required to enjoy the game. They do, however, make themselves blatantly noticed in a few of the menus. There is one major gripe I have about the game’s currency. Silver bars are the game’s secondary form of currency used to purchase clothing, weapons, and ammunition. Although, these items are mostly cosmetic and can be earned by playing the game and with earned in-game money, there is still something that feels wrong about this. Again, this isn’t required and won’t completely ruin your experience but it is something to consider before purchasing.    … Expand

I do think it deserves some criticism, but they put in a lot of effort with this game. It's really not just a copy-paste from far cry 4. Those who say it is, havent played the other ones. My main critisisms are the AI is still wonky at times, but i forgive them because it's not easy to implement in such a huge open world. And the overabundance of enemies can get a little annoying at times. Highly recommend this game if you're even slightly interested in this franchise.… Expand

A final note--those who bash Ubisoft (they way they do EA and all the other "money hungry" game makers) are overlooking the phenomenal work that was put into this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a shame that people don't understand the deeper meaning of this game's magnificent storyline. It puts the whole world in another perspective. A perspective that we in the real world should consider could actually be for the better. As it's maybe how it always was supposed to be before we created what earth is today. A place we created, soon a place we destroyed. Joseph was actually trying to do the right thing. The thing no one dares to do or speak loud about. He was trying to save the human race from ourselves. Don't get me wrong, I'm not insane. But life is precious and I'm not sure we have as much time as we think we have left to appreciate this beautiful gift we've been given. Because in the end, we will all die under the same feet of our own race. Just because we didn't have faith in each other. And of the cause, the ending is supposed to hit you this way. It's simply there to make you feel stupid because all the effort you went through with killing endless amount of people who actually just tried to save us from extinction is surely something that goes against ''gods will''. Cause, in the end, Joseph turns out as the good guy when he offers redemption ''in the eyes of god'' from our sins we've made throughout the whole game. This is clearly why there's no good ending. Cause why should there be a good ending when we were the bad guys all along?… Expand

It's not hard to do, and there's not really any grinding to do so, AND I DID NOT PAY FOR THE ITEMS WITH MY REAL CASH! Just hunt your nutz off. Seriously, I shoot and skin everything and always have around 20k in the games bank. Don't be lazy. Some of these people are writing reviews the first day complaining that they can't buy the gun they want within the first few hours of play. WTF?!?! Most games are like that!! Think of how many hours you have to grind in Call of Stupid to get the top guns!

    Second: The story is different, and you do have to forgive some things to be immersed. Like, why is the army not showing up etc. I get that it is a little bit goofy. The writing could have been a bit better as well. However, this is not a story driven game, rather a game where you create the story by your actions and how you play. That is the point of Far Cry in my opinion. An open world where the most memorable moments are from the things that happen because you decided to go left and climb a mountain, then go right and blow some dudes up as your cougar trashes enemies too.

    To sum up, I would say that it is a beautiful game, with plenty to do, memorable side missions (very important to me), memorable characters, and a whole lot of sandbox fun! The story is a little off, but that is overshadowed by how many times I hear my girlfriend say "that was crazy!" while I am playing.

    Solid game. The game play is almost identical to that of Far Cry 4, with some minor tweaks. The soundtrack is amazing and the environment and dialogue is cheeky and campy which makes it even more fun. It does have some underlying serious tones, however. All-in-all, this is the same as Far Cry 4 but in a different area of the world with a different story.

    Absolutely love it but incredibly disappointed that the gold edition I bought hasn’t got Far Cry 3 classic ready to play until Summer 2018. Very cunning from Ubisoft this. But the game is awesome.

    Incredible, from beginning to end. Immersive graphics and atmosphere coupled with great music and gameplay come together to make this my favorite Far Cry game to date, and one of my favorite games of 2018 so far. Must have for a Far Cry fan and those even slightly interested shouldn't be disappointed here. Great job by the developers and looking forward to future releases.

    First off i will start off by saying this game has one of the greatest openings ever!!! The story and characters are very well written. The sounds and graphics are top notch. My only complaint is the multiplayer is hit or miss but as the weeks even months go on i hope players will create wonderful maps to play on.

    I am baffled by all the low scores from critics because they didn't like the story, or didn't feel the story lived up to its premise. Yeah, the story DOES suck.

    Running and gunning is better than ever before, and they tuned all the gameplay mechanics to make one of the tightest FPS I've played in forever. They also dramatically improved vehicle handling, so now I look forward to driving around instead of treating it like a chore.

    Without a doubt the best Far Cry game in the series, Far Cry 5 is a roaring return to form both in terms of gameplay, game world design and to a certain extent storytelling.

    Far Cry is a series that    Without a doubt the best Far Cry game in the series, Far Cry 5 is a roaring return to form both in terms of gameplay, game world design and to a certain extent storytelling. It's plot does become some what of a detriment to the game by the end but the rest of the time you'll be having so much fun that you'll find the plot holes and faults very easy to forgive.

    Far Cry is a series that has always gotten the storytelling side of things half right and that is a half more than most every FPS out there. Far Cry games probably have the best plots of any FPS I've played but they seemingly always lose steam by their endings or make a few poor decisions on the way that mar the rest of the story. It's been this way forever. Vaas in FC3 was one of the most engaging and well acted villains in gaming...but then they don't make him the main villain and you spend the 2nd half of the game chasing some lack luster bad guys who is thrown at you suddenly. FC4 tried it's hardest to capture that Vaas magic with Pagan Min but it fell flat. FC5 finally gets that dynamic of "awesome villain" right again and not only that, it does it 4 times. Joseph Seed and his 3 "heralds" are each unique and riveting to do battle with. Their voice acting is superb and their backstories and character are all on point. You run from area to area taking them down and each one is a story unto itself and each one keeps you engaged. Where FC5 falls down is that it talks a lot, each of the villains gets ample opportunity for booming voiced monologues full of bombast and emotion and each VA does a brilliant job with all these moments. But once the games finished you really come to realize that for all they said, they didn't really say anything if importance. FC5 lacks an overall narrative. They very vaguely attack the idea that the modern world has become weak, slothful and impure but thats about it. It says a lot but it doesn't seem to know its own point. By the games end you're no more sure of what exactly it was they were rebelling against than you were at the beginning. The ending, which I won't spoil, is from WAY out of left field and whilst I can understand why it'd rub people wrong, I at least respected they went somewhere I didn't see coming. A final thing with the plot is they try and force emotional attachment to some "good guys" that simply isn't there. In each region you have to save a member of the team you came in with and the game is acting as though this is of vital importance to your character but the thing is as a player, I just didn't care. I didn't care because I'd spent maybe 5 minutes with them at the start of the game before it all goes south and had no attachment whatsoever. I had more attachment to some of the Guns For Hire you use as AI buddies than the 4 characters you're meant to be attached to and "saving" . But to focus on that is harsh, the vast majority of the plot is exciting, well written and as good of an attempt as they've had since FC3. I would venture to say this is their best plot yet.

    What FC has never struggled with however is fun and FC5 is undoubtedly an absolute ton of fun to play. You transition seemlessly from tackling outposts, taking on story missions, going on wild prepper stash searches and just generally exploring and taking in the world. The world is vast and absolutely beautiful. The scale of it is staggering and there is plenty to see and do. The new approach of having to organically discover everything (locations, quests, hunting) is a very smart decision. You might take an outpost and talk to an NPC there who uncovers a quest or something for you to do next. Much more engaging than radio towers and it really helped the world feel more complete.

    The AI of enemies is quite poor and it has never been strong in FC to begin with. You'll not struggle too much taking any of them down and their detection ability is awful. With the addition of front takedowns you can literally sprint up to enemies and if you're quick enough, insta-kill them with a takedown. You don't really play FC to be challenged though, the idea is to feel like an unstoppable killing machine. Friendly AI is all over the place varying from "killing stuff before you even saw it" to "standing in front of a mounted gun as you fire it". But they are good enough for me to nearly constantly have 2 with me so there is that.

    Sound Design is brilliant, besides aforementioned voice acting there is a wealth of licensed music in the game used to great effect as they often have done in this series. The use of hymns in cult areas really adds to the atmosphere of the area as well.

    Overall I just had a great time with FC5. It isn't without its flaws, most of them relating to the lack of a strong narrative for it's strong villains to pursue but I certainly am not disappointed with the game whatsoever. I had a great time (about 25 hours) finishing it and will go back for more. Really this is everything you could want in a FC game.    … Expand

Gameplay consists of a fps that has you taking on story missions, side missions, optional side objectives to progress the story. There are three regions, each objective you finish gives you points, when you get all the points needed, you face the boss for each of the three regions, and then a showdown with the main villain. What I loved about the game was that the majority of the story and side missions were fun and diverse, none seem overly similar to each other. Be warned though, the majority of the missions are also kitchen sink missions that you can find in other open world games, just with a far cry twist. I also loved the side activities, bar the outposts. The prepper stash and dixon challenges were amazing and a blast; driving and flying was simple and satisfying. The npcs for hire (that fights beside you) was also a good addition to this franchise imo. The stuff I found just ok was the minimalist story approach this game took, it's in interesting theme but story was almost non-existant. I also was also semi-disappointed hunting was almost non-essential this iteration.The bad of this game was the lack of weapon variety, lack of enemy variety (also copy and paste enemy soldiers), questionable a.i, and in my opinion lets just say there is a part of the game that made me go wtf. To end, a great game that isn't going to blow anyone over, but it has amazing side content, and a game I can recommend to anyone looking for a good open world game, but maybe not for those burn-tout by farcry.… Expand

    Overall, an excellent open world game with lots to do. Slightly glitchy at times, and the ending was a little disappointing, but then the intro scene was pretty awesome so it balances out. The gameplay is really fun, very good graphics, fun missions. The range of guns was fairly wide but felt lacking somehow. Anyway, if you like Far Cry then you'll like this game.
