I love this game so much that I bought all the rest of the far cries and played them with love. It was the way the story was depicted that made me care so much. The fact that I am a new sheriff trying to take back a town that was taken over bunch of crazy psychopath was more than enough of a reason for me to get sucked into the world of Far Cry 5. Stumbling across side missions felt very natural as well as the crazy random things that will happen on the way to the mission is what made me feel the most immersed in Far Cry 5 out of all of them. It was like as if they perfected their formula before they started listening to everybody else. It is by far one of the greatest videogame experiences I have ever had and is the reason why I still play video games today I have not found a video game experience quite like Far Cry 5… Expand

    This game is great. The cooperative factor to the game allows for great fun as I did indeed play through the game a total of 3 times. The first time was with a friend but the buddy system in the game does not make you feel lonely.

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

    The game is amazing! Having played all the previous FC games (and having disliked all but FC4), they took every good idea from the previous games, and expounded upon them. Beautiful world, smooth gameplay, and just the right amount of quirkiness so you know the game isn't taking itself too seriously. Its in my top 10 for PS4.

    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

    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

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. (Apart from the fact that it would feel a bit rich for the developers to take a stance on gun violence after you just mowed down 50 guys with a machine gun)    … Expand

Combat is tight, driving is a joy, and exploration is adventurous. The world seems alive with people and interactions. A few people have been less than impressed with story but fear not, the over the top villain and his terrifyingly relatable ideals are all there. it may not be the alt-right bashing, anti Trump story it seems some folks wanted but it's a Far Cry story, not a documentary. If you are looking for something deeper you shouldn't be looking at a Far Cry game to begin with.

    Don't listen to the trolls. if you like even one of the last four Far Cry main series games, you will love this!

    Final thoughts: You can run around a fictional Montana wilderness with a bear named Cheeseburger and cougar named Peaches, together, as your hunting companions, and they will lick you back alive when you get blown up too much.    … Expand

    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.

    To put an end to this review I must say the game plays nice and is what you would expect from a triple A tittle. I think the setting in USA makes it feels fresh and at home with itself. I hope we get the DLCs in time and the Arcade mode keeps growing at a greater pace.    … 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

    Far Cry 5 is a great time. It has lots of over the top action and characters. 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. I sunk at least 60 hours into the game, and never once thought it was boring or wasting my time. I had an amazing time playing this and recommend everyone check it out.

This is the type of game that will leave you some memories afterwards. The soundtrack is way better than average and the graphics are solid (I played at 60FPS on my PS5). 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.

    The main story line has four protagonists for you to deal with and each provide a varied amount of missions for you to get your teeth into. While completing missions you will be intermittently sort out and drugged so you can meet one of the main baddie characters and complete unique missions.

    This happens several times with each of the three protagonists who control a specific area and does slightly affect the continuity of the game play and to some people may seem like an annoyance. As you take over various buildings and settlements you will get warning the enemy is looking for you.

    There are as always lots of weapons to get to grips with to help deal with the worlds foes and you also get to drive and fly around in a range of vehicles. I particularly liked how the helicopters functioned and you also get to drive around in a special truck which is obtained during a mission.

    Algo que no me gusto pero es posible que a otros jugadores les encante es que según avanzas por el mapa tienes que ir esquivando enemigos/eliminándolos, con lo cual no puedes ir tranquilo por el mundo abierto sin que te empiecen a molestar.

The variety of weapons is also great, but honestly you get by during the whole pass with one sniper rifle, a scorpion and an AK (All with silencer of course) + I must not forget the rocket launcher.

    The American countryside environment charmed me, although I wondered why someone doesn't just get in a helicopter and fly to the nearest town for help ? Out of the whole story I have to single out the tragic story of Faith and I was further surprised by the way Jacob Seed brainwashes you (not your character, but you), since I don't want to write spoilers I won't elaborate more.

    The side missions each have their own mini story, it's not just go in and kill so and so, or kidnap so and so and save so many people. It's always underpinned by a mini story.

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

    No soy muy fan de la saga y la verdad es que no esperaba mucha novedad con este nuevo Farcry. No obstante, lo que he jugado me ha gustado mucho: historia, personajes, gráficos, tiroteos... Espero no tener que cambiar mi review en el futuro.

    Replayability: In spades, the FC Arcade is an excellent addition, map editor is VERY intuitive.

Maybe Agony (minus co-op) until post-E3, but if you are craving that kind of action just go ahead and bite. If you're familiar with and enjoy the Far Cry series, this is a worthy addition. 8/10    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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

The best stuff I think is the new airplanes and helicopters that player can control, I want those for a while and Ubisoft finally put them in. Although the game is pretty and fluent, but it is still the same formula with the similar animations and system. I really hope that they innovate more in Farcry 6.

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

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
