    There are a lot of things I could pick over in Far Cry 5, random assets not quite placed in the game world properly or AI NPCs doing odd things or perhaps just criticise Ubisoft for recycling a lot of assets from other games but that wouldn't be fair because this just may be the best Ubisoft game and certainly the best Far Cry game that I have played. Ubisoft Games seem to all be stickingThere are a lot of things I could pick over in Far Cry 5, random assets not quite placed in the game world properly or AI NPCs doing odd things or perhaps just criticise Ubisoft for recycling a lot of assets from other games but that wouldn't be fair because this just may be the best Ubisoft game and certainly the best Far Cry game that I have played. Ubisoft Games seem to all be sticking to a very strict formula these days. Whether you're playing Assassins Creed Origins, Far Cry 5 and it will probably be the same for The Crew 2 when it arrives, there's always a sense of familiarity about Ubisoft titles, more so today than years past. Leaps forward have been more controlled but there has been a refinement which has delivered vast game worlds packed with content and in the case of Assassins Creed Origins and Far Cry 5, compelling stories.

    Far Cry 5 takes us to Montana and we play the part of the rookie deputy, part of a task force sent into the fictional Hope County to arrest the games bad guy Joseph Seed AKA The Father. Joseph Seed is flanked by his faithful companions and Lieutenants whom you must defeat. My personal favourite is faith but the others are likeable foes. John Seed reminds me a bit of Ryan Reynolds . The story starts off tense with the utter madness of the game being mixed in between the story line. I Enjoyed the plot and thought it was written well and well acted by the voice actors there's nothing that really stands out for me though and for that reason I can't see Far Cry 5 being remembered for it's story alone.

    Luckily Far Cry 5 has an awful lot of other things going for it. The game world is beautiful and full to the brim of content. Ubisoft have done a great job recreating rural Montana and it's really surprising to see how beautiful the game looks on even the original Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Ubisoft have clearly put in a lot of work with the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X versions of the game with the latter managing to output at native 4k although both versions give stunning crisp visuals. Even the PC version has had a lot of attention with the game looking stunning and running very smoothly.

    As with most Ubisoft games Far Cry 5 offers you the chance to focus on story missions but you'll often find yourself getting distracted by one of the many side missions you can encounter along the way. The random encounters with NPCs and wildlife offer perhaps the most humorous moments though. One minute you'll be merrily navigating your way through the game and the next something bizarre and funny will unfold in front of you. The ragdoll system also provides many laughs and not once have I found myself getting frustrated or bored.

    There's plenty of customisation for both weapons and your character and whilst there are micro-transactions in the game I've not found myself tempted or manipulated into purchasing anything. There are plenty of vehicles at your disposal and if you want to take a break from the madness of the game there's other activities to do too like swooping down hill sides in your wing-suit or perhaps my favourite in game pass time fishing. If you want to try something a bit more radical then there's always the Far Cry 5 Arcade mode to sink your teeth in too. Players can create their own maps and challenges that can be downloaded and played by others and this game mode will give you plenty of replayability and unadulterd fun.

    Movement and gunplay is nice and sharp with decent difficulty scaling. The AI could be improved but their sometime stupid and random actions can often lead to some truly memorable and funny moments. All in all I have to say that Far Cry 5 is the best game I've played this year so far. It's not perfect and there's plenty that could be done better but there's just so much that's been refined and Ubisoft have created a game that is just so much fun to play. I have no idea where the series is going to go after this but with Far Cry 5 Ubisoft have really raised the bar. This is a game that deserves a place in your collection.    … Expand

So if you didn't like the 3 or 4, you might not like this. But if 3 and 4 was the best thing since sliced bread - this will be amazing. The premise of the game (not to spoil anything) is you against a weaponized cult, and in the process, you'll have to fight the three siblings before going head to head with the mastermind. This both gives diversity to the game and limits how well you really get to know the antagonists. Your direct contact with the antagonists is in segments before you end up with a confrontation and this is both a missed opportunity and where the game shines. They have each their own personalities and reasons for what they do, but splitting the story like that and having so few contact points with it doesn't really connect you with the story as much as you could. So it doesn't have the impact the story could have been. If they had either had a lot more contact points. Missions that relates more to the story and also missions that connect the sides of the story better would have helped. but it's not as good as it could have been. But it is a lot of missions and side missions, so for a completionist, as me, it was no problem using 60 hours before I got the platinum, but you sure can do it in a shorter time if you are in a rush. And the arcade mode gives an almost endless entertainment value for people like me that loves the game mechanics. Multiplayer is fanatic but once you get a hang of it, it's a lot of fun. Perfect for short bursts of gaming but I'd prefer if they had an open multiplayer mode in the game itself - you can have friends join the game but well. As an adult, I don't have that many that take time for gaming and like the games I like.

    The game mechanics are improved from earlier games. Driving cars is about the same, it's pretty solid and arcade-ish. Felt I couldn't take as wild jumps (get easier hurt by the landing) but that's not a problem. But what's new is that instead of the single one man chopper from far cry 4 - you got seaplanes, faster spitfire-type planes and a number of choppers and everything from atv to semi trucks to jet boats to gunboats. You either get them from garages or find them in the wild, so there are always easy ways to get around. You have the classic far cry bow and a number of other weapons. You got a number of perks to unlock, but few are critical for the gameplay so it's quick to get into and feel like you have control. Money is not that plenty as previous games unless you do a certain type of mission, but I had unlocked most by the end of the game. Could be less when playing hard as I did.

    Anyhow, it's not a perfect game but for someone who likes the far cry experience, it's a must-have. It's better than the previous ones but without as strong story telling as far cry 3.    … Expand

    My favorite Far Cry so far. I played the hell out of it. I understand why the story made some conservative players in the US cringe, but hey the game is not about trying to please anyone. It’s a creative take on what’s been going on in the US the last few years. Take it or leave it!

    While not in the ranks of Witcher 3 and similar open world juggernauts, it is a very entertaining experience with plenty of do and the things to do are also worthwhile. Exploring and finding a cabin with a note from the previous inhabitants is a surprisingly rewarding experience. The writing id also pretty tight ovrrall.

    The game is mechanically sound but the story is really flat and there isn't much innovation here. It's just another Far Cry. The co-op was nice but it wasn't balanced well. The game was just too easy when played in co-op.

    The game is good. Yes, it's the same recipe as Far Cry 3, with better graphic and the game in general have a better personality. The graphics are optimize and very nive. There's no skill tree and the progression system is akward. There's microtransaction so that's minus 1 point. But overall, I've played around 30 hour and it was worth it's price.

    Far Cry 5 is an interesting game, its fun and the gameplay is fantastic but the story is disappointing.

The game has an amazing start, where your character is a Police Officer in the state of Montana. So the game is based in the United States and that instantly made it interesting for me personally. I live in the United States so in my mind there would be some relatability. The whole premise is, there is a sadistic cult that has taken control of a county in the state of Montana. The Cult leader name is Joseph Seed and he believes he speaks to god and is doing gods work. It’s a very boilerplate cultist premise.

    The thing is, even though it is very generic the way they start the game, it’s very powerful. You’re in a helicopter with a few other police officers, you’re going there to detain Joseph Seed but once you get there and handcuff Joseph his followers don’t like it. As you’re flying away in the helicopter his followers start jumping on the helicopter and one gets caught in the propeller with brings the helicopter down. Narratively this is the most powerful moment in the entire game. Seeing these cult members kill themselves for Joseph Seed sets a tone that the rest of the game just doesn’t live up to.

    The gameplay is what kept me going with this game. The weird thing about this game is, the gameplay reminded me less of Far Cry 4 and more of Ghost Recon: Wildlands. The game was split into the three regions and each region has a person at the top. If you take out all three of those people then you can get to Joseph who’s at the very top of it all. Narratively this is what creates some of the issues. One staple of Far Cry (especially 3 and 4) is the game has very charismatic and almost likable villains. This game tries to take it another step where it has 4 villains rather than the 1 iconic one. So what ends up happening is everything gets spread too thin and not a single one gets enough screen time for you to care.

    Now the regions aren’t all bad, narratively it falls short but having the regions allows the gameplay to feel much more organic. Each region has “Region Points Bar” and you want to fill that bar so you can take on the region leader. As you can see by this picture the Faith Region is 13,000, there is also John’s region which is also 13,000 and Jacob’s which is only 10,000. It sounds like a lot but it doesn’t take as long you would think. I would guess that the whole game took me 20-25 hours so I would guess that each region took me 6 hours.

    Getting back to what I was talking about with the natural flow of the game with these regions, you can do whatever you want to fill that bar. There are “story missions” but not in the traditional sense. These just give more region points but you do not have to complete all of them. The way I played the game was simple, I would walk into an area. I would explore, run into a group of cult members. You kill them and there is a specific enemy type that if you kill then you get 50 region points. Keep exploring and now you’ve run into a cult shrine and if you blow that up you get 100 or 200 (I don’t remember the exact amount). The cult takes people hostage if you rescue people that 50 or 75 (depending on how many you save). Then you keep exploring and eventually, you’ll run into “story” missions which will give 600 or 900. Then there are side missions and then there are camps that you have to eliminate everyone in which is just like old Far Cry. Everything you do builds up that meter and it doesn’t feel like the standard Ubisoft open world game where you’re opening up the map and checking things off. Everything feels much more organic and free-flowing.

    I don’t want to focus on all positives as I do have one more complaint about the game and that’s the games scaling. The game is very open, almost immediately so you’re just thrown into the world and can go and do whatever you want. What I found was, early on it was very difficult. I didn’t have anything unlocked and I was dying quite a bit. As I progressed through the game, the enemies didn’t change at all so the game got easier and by the end of the game, I was playing it like Doom. I had a shotgun and I was going through corridors and blasting through enemies, now don’t get me wrong. It was awesome but it does show an inherent laziness by the developers. Instead of making it so enemies scale with you, they’re just created once and they’re all the same throughout the game.

    At the end of the day, I did end up enjoying this game. Sure it had a great 10 minutes and then the next 2-3 hours, I did not have a good time. But as I unlocked perks and the gear, the game only got better and by the end I was having a fun time. It’s hard to recommend this game but if you’re like me and enjoy Far Cry then pick it up. If you don’t like Ubisoft Open-World games then avoid.    … Expand

    For me the best one so far, the story doesn't stop being far cry but I do think it tries new things and does it well, makes the secondary missions entertaining and not repetitive, gives you a map where your going to have something to do for a long time, but on multiplayer it doesn't shine and besides co-op didn't caught my attention.

The gameplay retains much of the same from past games, and while it may feel like more of the same, it's still a lot of fun. The perk system in my opinion is a downgrade from the XP system from the past games, and can make the game feel rather grindy. The map is not as big as FC4, but it trims a lot of the useless fat that made that game feel like such a slog at time. There's no hundreds of treasure chests icons flooding the map, and while there is less to collect, I found myself actually grateful for the lack of useless fluff. It's certainly the shortest of the three games I played, having beaten it within about a week and a half(FC4 took me the better part of a month to get through!) The environment is beautiful and certainly feels like an authentic American setting, unlike the fake East Asian Islands in FC3 and the blended mix of India, Tibet, and Thailand that was FC4. The only bad thing I have to say about this game is that its ending is a major downer. I won't spoil anything, but I didn't see it coming and a felt a little bummed after it all. Overall, Far Cry 5 is another solid entries in a solid series, and makes me curious just where Ubisoft will take us with the next game.… Expand

    Far Cry 5 is much more than an extremely gratifying compilation of all gameplay features, story tropes, elements and mechanics that make the Far Cry series so great, but it raises the stakes and expands on everything by adding a great deal of things that previous Far Cry games have lacked in comparison. Without changing the essence of what makes Far Cry work, this newest edition createsFar Cry 5 is much more than an extremely gratifying compilation of all gameplay features, story tropes, elements and mechanics that make the Far Cry series so great, but it raises the stakes and expands on everything by adding a great deal of things that previous Far Cry games have lacked in comparison. Without changing the essence of what makes Far Cry work, this newest edition creates it’s own identity by really focusing on the setting and culture instead of an underdeveloped protagonist trying to be a lovable hero. The antagonists and supporting characters really get the narrative emphasis but the sheer amount of them all filling up the immense world means that the story this game tells can go on for as long as the player wishes it to.

    Compared to the others in this franchise, this game is the longest by far and easily as the most to offer. There aren’t necessarily more missions but the construction of the campaign means that every side mission, every collectible, every rescue, and every kill you get simply by exploring all help lead you to the end of the game. Previous entries offered relics to collect but their only purpose was to help you level up and get money. Here, everything you do offers Resistance points which, when built up, alarms the enemy forces and sends them hunting for you. By far, this is the most rewarding system set up in these games as exploration is still promoted but it actually feels like it all has meaning now, I’m not just climbing radio towers to be able to look at a map and I’m not just talking to people in order to get skill points which felt incredibly refreshing.

    Exploration is rewarding because you get what you put in: the more you explore, the more you unlock, the more experience you gain, and the farther along in the story you go. It’s also made much more accessible as you’ll be able to travel by foot or in vehicle to any point on the map. Far Cry 4 was gorgeous but the mountainous landscape made it quite difficult to traverse at times and if it wasn’t for the grappling hook in that game or Far Cry Primal, getting from point A to B would have been a nightmare (see Far Cry 2). In this game, though, you’re still offered a grappling hook if you love walking places but you’re also given the ability to fly. You can spawn helicopters, airplanes, and even fast travel to a destination via air drop (once you unlock the wingsuit and parachute). This is simply the most enjoyable game in this series, for that reason and many, many others.

    You know what I’m going to say… Far Cry works best when it balances tones in a fun, action-packed open-world and no game has yet done that better than this one. With the inclusion of hilarious jokes and references (Blood Dragon 3 side mission, Larry’s alien experiments, Clutch Nixon stunt runs, and the ability to dress up as Vaas, an Omega soldier, Pagan Min, or a caveman) but contrasted with the terrifying villains who believe wholeheartedly that their cause is just (and soldiers that follow them out of desire instead of necessity) makes for one hell of a story to experience. While there is absolutely no protagonist development to speak of, I don’t fault the game at all for it because that lack of characterization actually puts the emphasis where it matters which is on the antagonists and supporting characters. I never thought I’d write that because it goes against classical storytelling but I can’t deny that it worked in this game’s favor.

    Before I slap a rating on this bad boy, I think it would be fair to discuss the ways in this game didn’t live up to my expectations. I would have liked to see the return of the crossbow from Far Cry 4 instead of the addition of the sling shot but there were enough weapons and variations of them to compensate enough. I also would have liked to see more types of takedowns because since Far Cry 3, I don’t think any new ones have been added. Blood Dragon, Far Cry 4, and Primal just have all piggybacked off of the ingenuity that the 3 offered in that regard, and Far Cry 5 does the same exact thing. It would have been so cool to see more styles of takedown, and although there were new animations for takedowns based on what weapon you were holding (which Primal did), there weren’t any new mechanics added. Like, just add a takedown for if you’re behind an enemy while crouching instead of the crouching/standing takedowns being the same. It would be so easy and that one addition would create so much variation in what I see when I liberate an outpost.    … Expand

The story, simple as it may be, is engaging enough to keep players hooked and as always, the villains are written and voiced extremely well. The Graphics (on PC, no idea about console) look spectacular and the vast open world is fun to explore. The gameplay also feels faster and more precise than in previous games. The new gameplay additions seem small on paper (leaning out of cars, planes, AI companions, Prepper Stashes) but are fun to discover and make the game feel new and interesting. Coop is definitely the best part of this game though! Unlike Far Cry 4 this game allows you to play literally everything with a coop partner. Connecting is easy and quick and the fun-factor increases immeasurably once you have teamed up to take on the cult.

    About all the political controversy: I think the decision to make this game deliberately unpolitical was a good decision. Tying it into current political events would inseparably connect this game to 2018 and make it feel quite dated in the future.

    Oh, how I missed Farcry. I played through the previous 2 installments (not including Primal, which I had completely forgot existed until about a week ago), and they have held up very well, minus the graphics of 3. Now comes the fifth installation, right in the heart of the worlds most powerful nation... how does it do?

I played through the previous 2 installments (not including Primal, which I had completely forgot existed until about a week ago), and they have held up very well, minus the graphics of 3. Now comes the fifth installation, right in the heart of the worlds most powerful nation... how does it do?

    Let's get the elephant in the room out of the way, the story. Some love it, some hate it. I think it's pretty good, but you better be ready to throw reality aside. Obviously none of these events could happen in real life, so don't bother trying to explain why a cult managed to take over a county. Along with that, there are a couple points in the game where they should have given the player a choice, and because they force you to do certain things their emotional impact is hindered greatly. If you just go along with a couple outlandish ideas, you'll get a fantastic journey... with the most disappointing ending sack of trash ending since Mass Effect 3. My God, it's atrocious.

    So, how then does it earn an 8/10? How in the name of God did it get such a high score if the ending is a mess? Simple, because the journey there was outstanding.

    The shooting is extraordinarily well done, especially since most AAA games these days feel like you're firing PEZ dispensers. Ordering a bear to chew off an enemies face while you go and take down everyone else with explosive arrows is surprisingly fun. The flying, though wonky, can also be satisfying. I highly recommend at least conquering a couple outposts by bombing them until Dresden looks like a joke. Furthermore, land vehicles are also hundreds of times better. Long gone are crappy hunks of trash with engines strapped to them, now comes the age of Muscle cars and Semi's with machine guns! Level design has clearly gotten a larger budget. Side missions are actually fun to do now, while in 3 and 4 I completely ignored them. The Main missions, though dialogue is weak, are incredibly fun. I could go on for days praising the game play, but I only have so much time to write these.

    One gripe with the AI. Glue sniffers are more intelligent. The amount of times my dog has run in front of a semi is uncountable, as are the times I've been able to sneak past someone while they were looking in my direction in broad daylight. It's pretty bad... but in all, it doesn't ruin the game at all really.

    P.S. In summary, Farcry 5 is fun, it is a game that is meant to be picked up and played without too much thought. Is it better then 3? Hell no. Is it better then 4? Good God yes.    … Expand

TheyFar Cry has taken you to a jungle island, the Himalayan mountains, eary BC Era man, and now Montana . While it does seem a bit underwhelming the setting works better than I would have initially thought. Far Cry 5 takes the gameplay and gets rid of all the truly tedious bits. No longer do you have to climb towers to unlock the map. Nor do you have to hunt animals for better equipment. They basically have a map system that encourages exploration, and a level up system that is easy to get perks. The game is also the most open that the Far Cry series has been in a long time. You can for the most part take on any area at anytime. Of course you can't drive up and shoot the main villain in the face, but you also don't have missions that require stealth or certain perks to complete. Now while the open endedness is fine it also comes with a cost. The story is lacking because of it. You don't get as many cinematic set-pieces, the villains also never take you as a threat even after you have basically overthrown the cult. That is all because of it being so open they have to let you be able to do any of it at any time. My personal issue with this game and the story is the fact your character doesn't talk. I mean Ubisoft come on the silent protagonist is a thing of the past. I don't know too many people who believe that they are this lone badass taking on the cult. The reason I harp on this is because character will look right at you and talk, while your character just stares at them. At least they could do is cut out their tongue in the beginning, or something to explain why the silence. The villain is Joseph Seed. He is the cult leader, and unlike the previous installments in the series you see him a lot. Unfortunately he is not very interesting nor is he very charasmatic; which is weird because he is a leader of a cult you think this guy would be hard to argue with.

    Overall the game is good and if you are a Far Cry fan you probably already bought it. Those who are on the fence about this game. I would say try out Far Cry 4 (because it is much cheaper) and see if it is something you would enjoy. Until next time I got to go blow up more of Montana.    … Expand

Graphics are awesome on PS4 pro, water isn't quite as amazing as in AC Origins, and engine/artwork reminded me a bit of Watch Dogs 2. Music in the game is good with some well placed high notes, fx. when approaching an occupied outpost. Gameplay is just good old far cry, I think more could have been done here - but it's still a lot of fun, plus you also really wanna take care of these guys, all of 'em (and that's the setting adding to the experience, definitely a high note for the series!). Discovering the activities in a more organic way as opposed to climbing towers is a good relief, that formula had been overused. This is a game I can only recommend.… Expand

The story is actually quite good, but can get lost at times in the silliness of some of the side quests and guns for hire.

    Having been a big fan of the Far Cry series since it's bigger launch of FC3 back in 2012, it was refreshing to find FC5 was a successful, fun-filled adventure - one which finally overcame it's lame predecessors FC 4 and FC Primal. FC 4 to me was downright awful. Primal being ok, but nothing special.

    The story itself I thought was fantastic, the characters were all amazing and the development of them all were superb. The voice acting was on point and all made very realistic characters with very realistic emotions. The map was huge and I LOVED how changing region changed not only the "boss" but the music, the beautiful loading screens, the behaviour of enemies, everything changed and you got a fresh look on a new region - something different. My favourite was probably Henbane River. It didn't get boring cleaning up the map. The soundtrack was beautiful and I actually found myself listening to the cult radio more often than the normal one! The fishing was another fun addition they added this time, not some people's cup of tea but personally, it was a bit of fun and I enjoyed it. I loved how they left the story open for a sequel, knowing they have never done that before - I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes...

    I loved some of the new ideas they introduced in 5, the prepper stashes to me were super fun and I enjoyed pretty much all of them. I loved the new system of saving various people around the regions and having them fight by your side - made things much more fun, challenging and generally entertaining. The missions and boss fights for each character were unique and fun to play. Arcade was a great addition (not that I'm a huge online player) but added a good laugh to the game. The outposts gave more detail and almost, mini stories to each one, which made them way less boring and much more interesting.

    Scoring an 8 though, this game was not perfect and it still hasn't beaten it's nearly perfect brother, FC3.

    I HATED the fact that they completely ditched the radio tower aspect to the game. I know some people didn't like them, but (I may be weird) I loved the radio towers and it was so satisfying de-fogging chunks of the map to liberate etc. I really, really hope they bring them back in future games.

    I was shocked they took out the mechanic of skinning various animals to upgrade your equipment. That was another thing I liked about the game and made FC unique. Really disappointed to see that go as equipment or any upgrading in this game only consisted of the perk points.

    The character customization was a nice and ambitious prospect, but it just didn't work. The characterization itself was good, but what's the point of having it if you can't see your character? Seemed a bit pointless to me.

    Being a trophy hunter, the trophy list disappointed me hugely. Not that a trophy list should give an overall opinion to the game itself, but for me it really brought the game down in general as I really look forward to the trophy lists. Usually there are "complete all outposts", "find .... collectibles" etc, it was replaced with silly, pointless trophies that were just not challenging. Killing a bull with my bare hands... 5 seconds later and bam, I have a trophy. They should have at least kept the all outpost trophy in, as without it, it felt a bit pointless to liberate them all. I thought they could have put a bit more of an effort in with the trophies and implemented the collectibles more, as getting one of each was silly.

    Overall, a great solid game with a fantastic story, but the "new, fresh" outlook on FC5 and it's mechanics did well in places, but disappointing to see certain things go.

    Pros:

    Looked amazing, beautiful scenery and map
    Soundtrack was truly beautiful and catchy
    Voice acting was on point, couldn't fault it at all
    Fantastic story and fun campaign
    Excellent map with huge amounts to do and exploration
    Fun new additions such as the prepper stashes, teammates and Arcade
    Great choice of weaponry
    Treating it more of a story-based game, rather than a boring/tedious FPS
    The choice to play a female character
    A solid difficulty, not too easy or too hard

    Cons:

    Getting rid of radio towers and skinning animals to upgrade equipment
    Character customization seemed pointless

    Gorgeous game. A bright HDR screen will really make a difference. It feels like Far Cry mixed with a bit of Bioshock Infinite. Controls aren't quite as snappy as COD but once you play a few hours you'll feel right at home. Storyline is just ok but the characters and sound all are done nicely. Plenty of ways to get lost in this beautiful world.

    Last far cry games are very much same same, but different. I really like how they introduced campaign coop in FC5 and that should be worth a 9. I've bought and played them all and they always deliver but never really surprises you. DLCs very ok except for the vietnam one who were really cool. Solid buy if you are a fan of the franchise. Great to play online with a friend.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I will give my honest opinion. I've been a gamer since I had my first computer. A Commodore 64k. I am 42 years old and what I am passionate about games is history. It may have bad graphics but if it has a good story it got me hooked. I am very demanding when it comes to playing a game. But I have to admit that I really liked this story. That of having several missions outside the main one was the most that I liked. Implementing animal bodyguards that was the best part of the game. The dog, the bear and the cougar I really love ...Also did not know that it was compatible with RGB sync. When I see all the lights start to turn the colors of the American flag. I mean the lights are changing depends on how the game unfolds, when you die I like that kind of games and with these effects they ate it. I recommend this game to those who like first person shooting. It has a good story that there are even parts where messages reach the player directly. It is my humble opinion. Excellent game I hope you continue the story. Somehow. We want more.....… Expand

    I got this game for free on PS Plus and figured well I might as well give it a go. I didn't enjoy 3 and 4 too much, nor new dawn and the prehistoric spin off ones that much either. So I just figured I'd check it out and delete it.

    But now I have to admit this game is pretty fun. It seems like they took out a lot of the fluff from previous entries and made this one more like Far Cry 2, which is the best in the series and a totally underrated gem of a game. This game resembles 2 in spirit and is really fun to play. Even the vehicles feel pretty good but the world looks great and I love the setting.

    The story is nothing special but the cutscenes are all produced well and some of the characters are cool. It's alright and gives you a reason to push forward. I like how this game is a little more tightly focused. It's witout all the extra crap littering the map with boring repetitive things to do like in the 3 and 4 and basically every ubisoft game from the past ten years, LOL. Otherwise, it's vintage Far Cry action offering you a variety of ways to take out foes by going stealth or frontal assault and everything in between. I like flying a plane overhead and then jumping out and gliding down to a nice safe roof top to survey the field. Or you can just ride in guns blaizing and blow up everything in your path. Either way, you'll be having fun, and that's the whole point.

    Off course the game still has microtransactions which is annoying but looks like they toned it down a bit and there absolutely no reason to spend extra money in the game. You can find everything you need in the game world.

    A solid return to form for Far Cry and a really good open world shooter with a few small issues in the way. I am pleasantly surprised by this one and since I got it for free on Plus, I'm super happy I didn't spend a dime on it.    … Expand

    I liked the addition of choppers and planes and I hope that if there is a FC6 they use it more.

    I'd say the biggest thing that makes Far Cry 5 isn't the characters or the action, but the game's setting. It just immerses you into the whole smoky mountain feeling, when you are hunting, fishing or doing stunt missions. (Which I thought was a great addition as well.)

Where the game falters is when it forces the player into completing story missions once you do enough side stuff. Its not a bad mechanic but it is really quite annoying when you get sucked into a story mission when you're just trying to explore. The story is alright and although Joseph Seed is a good antagonist, he's nowhere near Vaas or Pagan Min. Its a fun game, but the Far Cry formula is getting a little stale. 77/100… Expand

    I ve been playing Far Cry 5 Gold Edition on my PS4 Pro SSD and had a blast with it.

Far Cry 5 itself is a very strong 9/10 to me but I want to count in one more aspect which leads me to point out a 10/10. You can get FC5 Gold with all of the DLCs for 20 bucks or less at reaccuring sales which is to me an absolute steal for around 20 to 50 hrs of great gameplay. So considering what you are going for my rating is 9-10 out of 10.

    The world is stunning and the performance is great. I had a singular stutter in a probably bugged cutscene but besides that the game was running absolutely flawless. Loading times and fast travel was nice although I cannot testify the rates on normal HDD.

    The world development was way better in comparison to older titles. The devs did not rely on capturing towers but it just naturally develops by getting around and talking to people which felt great. I m also thankful that grinding for craft was removed from the game. The game still has a huge variety of quests and a lot of side missions felt refreshingly unique. The game can be enjoyed by going story only or story + sides. Everybody else will get a huge variety on extra missions, hunting, fishing, stunt races or flight missions. Some of those are necessary but most of it is exceptional.

    The weapon system and the weapons itself feel great. I would ve liked to get more enhancement variety on the guns but it is still a good variety in rifles, smgs, lmgs, shotguns, bows, launches and much more stuff to fiddle around. Same goes to vehicles that come in insane variety and feel different in certain aspects. Some driving felt a bit clunky but get doable once you get used to some of the physic behaviours.

    After all I loved the plot a lot. It was immersing and had a good variety in missions and regions. One let down were those "get captured out of nowhere"-sequences that drive the story progress forward but felt absolutely out of place. I still think that this is no biggy in comparison to what I personally got out of the game.

    In terms of open world complexity, story and variety the game deserves a 10 in my opinion. The devs did great work put a huge effort into this game which I cannot point out enough. Engine, sound and graphics are also stunning. PS4 Pro performance was very good and it did not even get too loud as it was with titles such as God of War Reboot. The AI companions are cool as **** Send out a bear to rip out enemies: check. Sniper yourself with a sniper companion: check. Rain down rockets from helis: check.    … Expand

The game still has minor glitches but nothing major IMO. This game is really underrated and deserves certainly more praise and attention. I found it better than Days Gone who was really good also. The game is not perfect tough...By moments, it can become pretty chaotic and apparently, the AI is not that good. It can be challenging also if you want to play clean and stealthy.

    Many people blame Ubisoft in creating very similar open worlds. Mostly they are right. But in case of Far Cry 5 generic Ubisoft's open world appeared to be great. Even some NPCs were very alive. Side quests are not as generic as they could be. Not Witcher 3 level but still worth to play.
