I won't go into detail about the game because anyone who's played the previous games will feel right at home with these game mechanics, but for the uninitiated, its a first person shooter in a open world with a cool setting and an interesting antagonist. If you enjoy the previous games, you'll enjoy this. If you didn't then there's a high change you wont enjoy it. The setting is what really sold me, the scoring is amazing but the story never hits any 'edge of your seats' high and the game-play hasn't change much from the old games. To sum it up, it's not bad, but it's not gonna blow you away.… Expand

    There are of course so major problems too.

    After the prologue, I was stuck installing the game for far to long, having already taken hours to install and download.

    I couldn’t quit out of a mission which I was struggling with and had to keep attempting it when I didn’t want to really - a side mission where I had to chase a helicopter on a quad bike.

    The enemy placements are way too random and the patrols are everywhere making it too hectic. It doesn’t feel like a living world, it feels like wherever you are, the game sends enemies and animals to your spot indefinitely.

    There is no out of car view for driving and the r2 doesn’t work for the throttle sometimes - a similar problem I had in rdr2 and the duels.

    The game isn’t bad, in f t it’s fun at times but it’s not a game that makes me think wow or excites me to play.    … Expand

The open world is nice looking but not interesting and the interactions are random. Its really annoying that you are always spotted by enemies for no reason, just by driving down the road having done nothing to provoke or cause alerts. Ai is kinda dumb. The progression system was made so that you pull out your credit card. There are neat new aditions like having people or a dog deploy with you and such, but really they dont do much and it feels tacked on. Alot of the new gameplay elements feel tacked on simple because other recent games have it.

    This game is just not a quality made product. Everything about is a check list of generic things. I struggling to keep playing and I cant find any reason to care about whats going on in the story and characters. There is nothing here, if you played any other Open World game, you already played this.

    I seriously think Ubisoft should consider ending the FarCry franchise. Even the new Spin-off FarCry New Dawn looks terrible.    … Expand

    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.

Esta quinta entrega numerada tiene pretensiones, pero no consigue cumplirlas como esperaba.

    Si bien la ambientación me encanta; Hope County es la leche: tienes un montón de mapa para explorar, toneladas de recados, misiones tanto principales como secundarias, coleccionables y demás actividades por hacer que hasta abruma. Pero esto quizás se haga algo repetititvo cuando es el vigésimo quinto escondite del contrabandista que haces.

    Jugabilidad bien, no innova mucho respecto a la única referencia que tengo pero cumple y es bastante variada y satisfactoria, con muchas armas y vehículos que personalizar y compañeros y aliados para jugar a tu gusto.

    La historia es lo que más me chirría. Tiene maneras: el hecho de que haya una secta apocalíptica religiosa en Estados Unidos es más que interesante, y en sí tanto Joseph Seed como sus tres secuaces con los que habrá que acabar antes de enfrentarnos a él, no son malos villanos del todo y dan una cierta lección de alguna manera a todas las historias de guerras y héroes. Lo único que no me ha convencido es la manera que han entrelazado estos villanos como jefes, sus mecánicas y como te enfrentas a ellos jugablemente.

    Los personajes aliados son cuanto menos olvidables, tanto PNJ's como compañeros de combate. Están ahí por la única función de gameplay o narrativa que deben cometer y ya, así como el protagonista, con el que jamás he podido sentirme menos identificado.

    La verdad, recomiendo Far Cry 5, no es nada del otro mundo ni por asomo, pero creo que es un buen entretenimiento, sano y que puede ser aún mejor incluso en compañía (el modo cooperativo debe de ser muy divertido). Tienes una campaña bastante larga para jugar, multijugador, modo arcade y decenas de horas de contenido secundario que abarcar.    … Expand

    This game is made very well and it's one of Ubisoft's best open worlds they have made. I wished they would have added changes to the core mechanics instead of using the same thing like in every other Far Cry game, but other than that this game was really good. You can have fun with friends in Arcade there is great DLC to have fun in. This game offers a lot than other titles in the franchise!

    Far Cry 5 is one of those games that starts off with a bang, but doesn't really know where to go from there. The world of it is filled with potential of characters living in the mid-west, but ends up falling flat on its face by sending you to blow up another place filled with cultists.

The cultist theme was what really drew me to this game, but there wasn't nearly enough Joseph Seed and too much of his siblings. The side quests become monotonous and repetitive very quickly, and by the third area of the game I started to just forget them and focused on the story. The map is beautiful and there were lots of side things I really enjoyed doing, like fishing and hunting. The companions you can have are usually really annoying, which is why I only ever had animals following me around. The character customization is a joke and doesn't allow you to customize very much at all. This game was honestly a 7/10 for me until I beat it, then it lost another point. If you're a big Far Cry fan, try it out, but I was fairly disappointed in how awesome this game started and how boring it became by the end.… Expand

    Man what a colossal disappointment. One can suspend levels of disbelief to accept the basic premise of the game.

However, Far Cry 5s problems are not just with the critical design but also the characters and forced plot. I will keep it spoiler free, but there are approximately ten times you are removed from the open world and forced to watch what Ubisoft has considered important. Not only are these instances unavoidable but they interrupt the flow of any fun you may have been having. For example, I was jumping out a plane skydiving roughly 200 ft in the air which then cut to black, tied to a chair, and forced to hear the family talk about "moral" choices.

    All and all you could pick a worse action adventure FPS open world game but this one had so many little annoyances that the overall experience was ruined.    … 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 graphics are not as good as I would have expected from a 2018 game (Spider-man on the same base PS4 looks a full generation younger), the gameplay is not bad, but it's not really refreshing compared to the previous Far Cry which featured the same types of transport and many types of guns, some say it has new elements but outside of shooting from a helicopter and catching fish (whichThe graphics are not as good as I would have expected from a 2018 game (Spider-man on the same base PS4 looks a full generation younger), the gameplay is not bad, but it's not really refreshing compared to the previous Far Cry which featured the same types of transport and many types of guns, some say it has new elements but outside of shooting from a helicopter and catching fish (which are admittedly both fun for a short while) I can't really find any. The story, which I won't get into detail about, is not exactly uplifting or positive. It's like every other Ubisoft game: fight against many different enemies that pretty much look the same until you "kill" the boss enemy after which the ending is very negative and therefor not rewarding for all your hard work.

    Ubisoft should be able to do a lot better than this. I'm really tired of this writing style which I've seen in Far Cry 4, Assassin's Creed Black Flag / Unity / Syndicate (I couldn't even play Origins for more than five minutes) and frankly many more. They should take a look into Uncharted, Spider-man, GTA V and several other games which contain about as much violence and as crazy aggressive antagonists, but still are way more fun to play, and certainly more fun to finish.    … Expand

    Instead of discovering the world together with my friends i have to look for people who
    already had finished the main story, have all the points and can smash everyone, this kills
    my interest because I did nothing except for sitting somewhere in the bushes and watching them fighting.
    As a result - i couldn`t finish the game till the end. Playing alone becomes boring after 10 hours
    because of typical missions.
    Graphics is on a good level, but some textures in the game look horrible. For example, a basket with square shape of apples! Seriously! what the **** is this?
    By the way, the actions in the open world are oversaturated.
    I can hide in the woods, bushes, climb on the pole, but i still will be killed by enemies or some crazy turkey which appear somewhere nearby. i cant even catch a fish calmly, because everyone wants to kill me.
    So, i think franchise needs to be reloaded because all the features have got outdated.

And now, I was waiting patiently for some sort of price drop to put my hands on this gem. When I did, I quickly found out, it's not gem anymore. It is a poo, a nice brown cheap and disgusting poo. In comparison to FC4, there is no feel behind your character, It feels like there is simply no weight, and the sound effects are too soft. It literally feels like playing console version of FC5 in FC4. There is nothing in this game that would feel like an upgrade to FC4. Apparently beautiful graphic. Well, not from my perspective. The only thing I can see is optimized pile of junk that stutters every now and then to totally break already weak immersion.

    If you enjoyed FC3 and FC4 - do not buy this pile of jokes until it's half price... and even then, be warned, you will not enjoy it as much as previous games. Darn... another over hyped title. PS: even if you get 2hrs trial on Steam or something, the game with intro etc. is design to waste so much of your time that before you notice and start proper game 3hrs passes... and you can no longer refund it. What an utter and cheeky cash grab.

    The more i think about this game the angrier I get. What a trash!    … Expand

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

I live in the United States so in my mind there would be some relatability. The wholeFar 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

    Pros:
    -Like I said there is some fun to be had here either from the missions or something for you to do off on your own

    -Almost everything you do contribute to the end game which works well with the openness of the world

    -Some action pack moments that fans from previous Far Cry games can enjoy

    - Is welcoming to newcomers, some mechanics stick but newcomers can still enjoy the game-play and the world just as much as the fans of previous Far Cry

    Cons:
    -The characters are often forgettable, there is a lot of characters in Far Cry 5 and I would often forget most of them because they were either uninteresting or didn't do much for me to remember them (just in a few cut scenes or quest givers)

    -This is going back to characters but I think it is important to point out that the villains in the game can also be boring copy of one of the "final boss" traits which only makes the only interesting one the "final boss"

    -There is some repetition in the game, I remember how the first time I finished a mission and I wondered what other challenges the game held for me only to find out that I would be doing similar missions with only a small variation of enemy type about 20 more times

    -Some of the gun balancing may need tweaking for I pretty much blasted trough the game with a silenced sniper, a rpg, and a random third option normally a shotgun but most of the other guns either fall in to not consistent and or enough damage, or not enough range to be useful in a fight

    -The AI may need some work as well because I can be sneaking around and my ally would start running to go shoot an enemy 100 meters away (and yes the hunter ally)

    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

    There was a time when no matter where I went I saw Far Cry 5. The advertising campaign on this game was humongous. When a game is advertised in such a huge fashion, expectations are going to be extremely high.

When a game is advertised in such a huge fashion, expectations are going to be extremely high.

    That being said, this game is good. An expansive environment and cast of characters give you a ton to do with your time in Hope County. I loved the idea of setting a game in modern-day America which can give you a real moral struggle when you're killing these cult members (who are really just American citizens who have been brainwashed by the Seed crew). If you liked/loved Far Cry 3,4, and/or Primal, you will definitely enjoy this game. However there are still the same drawbacks to those games in this one as well - the main one being repetitiveness. In order to fight a Lieutenant/Leader of a section of the Cult, you have to destabilize the region. Once all the Leaders have been taken care of, you can then move on to the final confrontation with the "Ultimate Leader".

    Again, this game is good. Is it good enough to be advertised everywhere and plastered all over anything related to gaming for all of a month? No. Is it good enough to waste 20-40 hours of your life? Yes. Does it make you think critically about life choices? It tries. If you as a player do some critical thinking, it might be more than just a simple game. But in the end to me, that's really all it ended up being.    … Expand

Had a blast many belly laughs.I like how you can have multiple characters on your roster and take 2 or 3 with you at a time. The story is obnoxious and unstoppable cutscenes are a huge annoyance. I play games for the actual game play not to be forced to watch a bunch of garbage. The language and profanity is dumb. A well timed f bomb has its place but wow. In summary the gameplay is fun the story is really dumb and annoying. But there is a lot of fun to be had with a friend.

    Big fan of the Far Cry franchise but 5 is the worst hands down!(Worse than Primal) the story was ok i guess although nothing special, The mechanics were awful especially the flying controls and the constant enemy spawning got old fast! One thing i like about Far Cry is about exploring the beautiful map but because of the enemy spawning constantly i put me off doing that.

    Juego totalmente decepcionante.
    La historia no se la cree nadie, lo llenaron de violencia injustificadamente, los personajes son casi todos malos excepto por el Sheriff. Las peleas contra los bosses son pesimas, tenes toda una crew y vas solo a pelear contra el jefe? Con las armas guardadas?
    Lo peor es que lo terminé despues de jugar GOW y fue realmente decepcionante todo.

Problem for me is how over the top the game is, the bear and cougar the alien guns, it is just to much. I will say it does have some replay value for the aspect of online however not for another campaign as there is no real difference in choices and outcome. It is a good FPS absolutely, decent story and characters, great visuals and smooth gameplay, over the top and unrealistic dramatics all clash together to form a game that is fun to play but hard to really enjoy.… Expand

The graphics and game play are average but the story and the ending are horrible. Your character is constantly kidnapped and captured by the 4 bosses and there is nothing that you can do about it. the fact that when ever you reach a milestone of significance, the bad guys capture, drug or otherwise kidnap you brings the action to a screeching halt. That in and of itself drags the game down, but the ending is such a steaming pile of dog **** that it makes you never want to play a Far Cry game or even a Ubisoft game ever again. It really is that **** terrible. Add to that the horrendous driving and the ridiculously inept weapon selection and you have one of the worst games that I have played in the last couple of years. The only good thing about the game is the setting. Seriously, it really is that **** bad.

The story may not be bad, but the way in which it is told is not enjoyable. It tries to force fun on the player instead of letting the player find what is fun about the game. There are a few side activities to choose from, but none of them are well crafted - I didn't bother to try the fishing because I'm not paid to review games, and fishing doesn't interest me - but the side activities I tried - racing, hunting, and side quests - went from mildly interesting to repetitive after just a couple of tries. If you are not a fan of repetitive gameplay, or far cry 4, I don't recommend this - and even if you are, it's not like it's so different, or that the story is so compelling that you should buy it. Wait till it's in the bargain bin, when the community will have finished creating decent multiplayer maps - since the devs didn't make a single multiplayer map - and then buy it.… Expand

    Far Cry 5 is the first numbered game I’ve played in the series since far cry 2… After hearing such great things about this game I thought my experience would be even better since Far Cry 5 would feel so fresh and new to me because I haven’t played 3 or 4.. I wouldn’t have that this is just more of the same kind feeling.. And despite this.. that feeling is    Far Cry 5
    Pretty Bland
    Far Cry 5 is the first numbered game I’ve played in the series since far cry 2…
    After hearing such great things about this game I thought my experience would be even better since Far Cry 5 would feel so fresh and new to me because I haven’t played 3 or 4..
    I wouldn’t have that this is just more of the same kind feeling..
    And despite this.. that feeling is exactly what I got here..
    Far Cry 5 feels like just another bland and boring shooter…
    The game takes play in a fictional hope county Montana USA
    you play as your own created character out to take down Joseph Seed… A cult leader..
    But to get to him in car cry fashion you have to regain control and liberate 3 different territories and take down his 3 siblings….
    You can take them down in and order you’d like.. though the game suggests you start in the south and make your way up, so this is exactly what I did starting with John Seed…
    And by this games roughly 28 hour long campaign you’ll understand exactly why the game suggests you start at the bottom and work your way up..
    John seeds section is easily the strongest part of the game in terms of world building and level design… every area of this section of the map is memorable, it feels worth exploring for its treasures, the side quests feel worth doing…
    And this is the majority of the campaign as well, taking me about 13 hours to clear, and then it’s on top faith seed which took about 10 hours to clear… the world building is miles weaker, but these 10 hours are saved by one of my favorite villains in video game history..
    This was hands down my favorite chunk of the game thanks to how unique her individual missions are as you’re dealing with something called the bliss.. this causes hallucinations, and a creepily charming, seductive and hypnotic crazy girl that we’ve all dated before, and then the final 5 hours of the game is dealing with the mediocre Jacob seed section…
    the world building in the north of this map is mind numbing garbage.. no heart here whatsoever…
    so I’m happy it takes up so little of the campaign time…
    But to get to these story missions you have to bring these characters out.. you have to cause mayhem around the world..
    and this is what far cry fans love about the game…
    liberating posts, destroying property, rescuing characters and animals like cheese burger the bear to call them in to help you during missions, you Can even play through the world co op with friends
    and after you’ve done enough damage you’ll be marked and they will hunt you down and you then have to escape whatever scenario you find yourself in.. sadly, though there are only 3 missions for each character aside from their introduction…
    such a massive disappointment..
    especially with a character such as faith seed..
    it’s a shame how underused she is
    I honestly would’ve preferred if she was the only character in the game, and we were constantly dealing with her tricks and seduction..
    shes so well written,
    sadly this isn’t what we get… I feel that the first chunk if this game is the only section where any of this chaos causing gar cry fans enjoy is any fun
    the faith seed section is saved by the character, but that’s the only redeeming quality.. the world gets more bland as the game goes on
    After I cleared the first part of the map I resorted to just clearing missions with a helicopter.. that’s how little I cared to explore..
    outside of the campaign there is a decently fun arcade mode where you can build your own singpleypalyer, co op, or death match maps using assets from the past far cry games and even games like assassins creed..
    plenty to get creative with..
    but if you’re like me and creating the levels isn’t your thing you can just hop in to play other peoples maps or even have some decently fun competitive play with some alright maps thrown in there…
    there isn’t the call of duty polish here, but I had a decent amount of fun.
    Far Cry 5 has its moments of greatness despite feeling a bit lazy as it goes on.
    this would’ve been a better game had it been smaller and more polished with much more narrative focus
    I know Ubisoft would disagree with such a statement but at the end of the game I think we can all agree
    We need a faith seed game

So those saying this is a reskin of previous far cry titles, don't listen to them because they are being extremely disingenuous. This game has many new features that previous far cry games did not have. FC5 both expands upon good features and scraps bad features from previous FC games. The story doesn't make sense in the setting its presented in because this whole scenario would never happen in America. Previous FC games had settings that made sense. FC3 was set in a lone island and FC4 was set in the some remote country. FC5 is set in a county in Montana in the U.S. So right away, the story is off to a bad start, but its a fictional setting in a video game so i guess you can give it points for being cheesy. The weapon variety is not varried at all really. I hope that new community events will lead to more weapons being added like the vector was. If more weapons are added like that, then the game will be better off long term. Overall though, FC5 feels both refreshing and very familiar. Although, in the age of almost every video game being an open world title, i suppose its hard to make your open world game very different and unique. All in all, I've had a lot of fun playing FC5, but i don't see myself or my friend that i played the whole game cooperatively with, going through a second playthrough. I know people will both agree and disagree with my assessment of the game, but thats what metacritic is for.… 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

    I really wanted to enjoy this game, took the day off work and all. But No. The main issue is that you are never more than a couple feet from an enemy. They start fighting you and a hundred men come over, planes cars boats helicopters (no helicopters) . There is no way of just going from one objective to the other because all the beef you just can't relax and the game itself is just not good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. he game is beautiful, of course there are disadvantages. Suppose not an interesting protagonist, a small clone of weapons, but the game is excellent. Very large world, but not empty. I want to investigate. I was very interested and I can recommend for you… Expand

    More issues than a 70yo Dog. Cool gun play even if the selection is limited and for some reason they will sell you a gun with another skin before you can earn the gun with the skin the story likes?

Air combat sucked pretty hard and more than a few times i had mission important AI's wonder off or just fall through the world. The draw distance is the worst i have ever seen on a ps4 pro and dont even try to hit the driver out of a moving vehicle without a great zoom.… Expand

    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 very much your typical Ubisoft open world adventure. Huge map, lots of repetitive tasks to do and things to collect. Although it's a little smarter on how it presents this information to you, it's still largely the same. Not to say this is a bad mark on the game but it’s provides nothing new to the table.

    The story is weak and the characters didn't do much for me either.    Far Cry 5 is very much your typical Ubisoft open world adventure.

    The story is weak and the characters didn't do much for me either. The game forcibly takes you away from its open world many times to play its story, even when you are doing something else like another side quest for instance. You can be in the middle of taking with an NPC and it will pull you out. It becomes incredibly irritating.

    The combat is extremely satisfying and there’s a lot of different ways on how you can approach a task. You can take it from the air, silently, or guns blazing... the game won’t penalize you whatever the case although the AI could be a lot more forgiving when it comes to stealth.

    Arcade mode you can give a pass, the competitive multiplayer is barely functional and the maps are not very fun to play.

    Overall, this is an ideal podcast type game. It's a serviceable game. It’s a lot of the same tasks throughout but the combat makes it fun to do so it might just be enough to tide you in, just don’t expect anything more than what you've already come to expect from an Ubisoft open world title otherwise you’re going to be left disappointed.    … Expand

    Personally I can't stand this game, the way it constantly interrupts you when you're just trying to explore and play is maybe the worst game mechanic I've ever encountered. What the heck were they thinking? Idk I hated it throughout, to each is own I guess, if you're on the fence about buying it, I'd get it preowned so you can at least return this turd like I did!

    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.

    Having played all 6 far cries (blood dragon, primal). I conclude that this is worst part by far, it has nothing new or good in it. Ghost recon Wildlands supersedes this pile in every aspect. It seems Far Cry finally followed in footsteps of Mass Effect and Assassins Creed... Shame really.

    Another Far Cry game that is literally the same sh*t since the 3rd one. Game play is the same so It's bad and the story is better than FC4 but nothing remarkable. Do not waste your money on this game. Buy something else.

    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.

    Bonus Ratings
    These are more personal.

    Soundtrack (0 to 15): 5
    A great soundtrack is in my opinion a must for a 10/10.

    Replay/Endgame (0 to 5): 2
    I like to play more even after the story has finished like side quests. I would also include side activities in games to this like; the last of us multiplayer or Doom’s map editor.

    Polish (0 to 5): 5
    (Is it buggy or not? Do parts of the game feel rushed? But remember, bugs can be fixed)
    Well do I have to explain? No one likes a buggy/leggy game. It breaks emersion and f%cks your play trough. I still have nightmares from the assassin’s creed “no face” bug…

    Extra:

    Love the inclusion of the map editor, it gives unlimited gameplay value. I love to see what people are going to make.    … Expand

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

    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.
