    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.

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. 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

    Lustiger Shooter mit guter Grafik. Leider ist die KI grausam schlecht. Auch die Zerrstörbarkeit der Umgebung ist im Vergleich mit z.B. Far Cry 2 schwach. Far Cry 5 existiert.... man spielt es und vergisst es danach.

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

    Far Cry 5 is the first FarCry game I've been playing since Far Cry 1 on PC because I like the idea of fighting some weird and crazy Catholic cult in the US ...

So for me, yeah, it's worth the money but after you finish it, there are no things that will force you to play it again, except of few hours in Arcade mode ... Final rating is 7/10.… Expand

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

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

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

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

    Starts strong but fizzles. If you've played through the fist 1/3, you've essentially played the whole game. Boring skill tree and character development. Feels unfinished. Its worth a play through but that's about it.

    - you can kill a person with one shot but animals will run away and seem to take more damage

    - After acquiring a cool truck, I fast traveled and the truck was gone. I went back to the location where I found it and it was not there.

    - Outposts are super easy to take over

    - I am curious why there are no native Americans in the game. I really enjoyed the Longmire TV series and felt the game could have gone a bit further in depth this way.    … Expand

    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

    Having played Far Cry 5 for a few weeks, I am about to finish the main story. I didn't rush through it and took my time finishing a region before moving on to the next.

I played Ghost Recon Wildlands lastHaving played Far Cry 5 for a few weeks, I am about to finish the main story. I didn't rush through it and took my time finishing a region before moving on to the next. Having played a lot of open world games, I was really hesitant about another open world where it's basically a checklist you're working through. I thought it would be really repetitive. I played Ghost Recon Wildlands last year which was fun at first but quickly turned into the same repetitive tasks as well as Assassins creed Origins which I didn't even finish. I pretty much always finish a game (I even ended up getting the platinum trophy for Wildlands!) but AC Origins was too much of the same thing, it got boring. Far Cry 5 has given me some of these moments but I'm still playing. Overall the environment is beautiful, I like the setting, nature, animals, day/night cycle. The missions are varied enough to keep me engaged with the exception of several useless missions which were awful and reminded me of Wildlands/Origins. Missions like 'collect 0/12 items' of this or that are pointless. Just like a mission forcing you to get roadkill kills and you’re driving around for an hour looking for that animal spawn. Complete waste of time, 0 fun, why? Whoever thought that would be a good mission should be fired. Let alone having to do it twice (once for deer and once for bison). Checking off outposts is getting kind of old too.
    Other than that, exploring is a lot of fun. Everything looks good so it's nice to walk around and explore the environment, see what's in a house, checkout a good fishing spot etc. What really bothers me is the vehicle camera which can't be switched to 3rd person. It's ridiculous and makes driving a hassle. This in combination with nature being beautiful made it so I just walk somewhere to see my surroundings or get a helicopter (and I’m back to GR Wildlands flying from task to task). 0 incentive to drive vehicles has made me save up to over $75.000 in game dollars and I’ve bought all the weapons I want including several helicopters, planes, boats and cars. So people complaining about not having enough money is nonsense. The weapons are limited because a lot of them have the same stats. Customization is limited. Vehicles are annoying to drive so I don’t even bother buying them, they’re all the same and the in-vehicle camera is annoying. In addition to this you unlock plenty of vehicles in main missions. No incentive to buy vehicles.
    Doubted my purchase thinking it would be another ‘chore’ playing it and travelling around the map ticking off boxes. It kind of is but I still found it worth it, largely due to the environment/exploring. I am ready for a new type of game though, probably God of War. I’ll come back to open world down the line.

I was worried that far cry 5 would be a lazy reskin of far cry 4, but its not. 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.

    Ну честно говоря после унылой Far Cry 4, ждал возвращения формата трёшки, но Ubisoft Montreal разработали то, что разработали.
    И так, что мы имеем.
    Разработчики всё таки посидели и подумали над харизматичностью новых антагонистов. И у них это, на мой взгляд, получилось. Иосиф, Иаков, Иоанн и Вера Сиды на мой взгляд очень хорошо прописанные, реально мотивированные персонажи. В отличии от того же Пейгана Мина из четверки, чья мотивация была с родни мотивации злодея из какой нибудь Just Cause.
    Структуру прохождения изменили. Разведовательные вышки исчезли, теперь это открытый мир, но поделённый на три части, со своей структурой, своими врагами и своим боссом в финале. Я не скажу, что мне это жутко понравилось, особенно десятки сваливающихся тебе на голову врагов в финале каждой части, но это было хоть какое-то нововведение за долгие годы. Хотя вышки мне в принципе нравились.
    Действие из джунглей перекочевало в смешанные локации, что пошло игре на благо.
    Но вот собственно и всё, что по сути выгодно отличает Far Cry 5 от предшественников. Теперь не об очень весёлом.
    Перестрелки не изменились от слова совсем, это не плохо, но и новшеством это не назовёшь. И вообще с оружием в Far Cryах до New Dawn, на мой взгляд, всё очень грустно. Его какой-то сонм, но в 99% случаев это просто хлам, тратить деньги на который не имеет никакого смысла. Во 2ой, 3ей, 4ой и 5ой частях я подбирал себе весь арсенал в первой трети игры и проходил с ним успешно до конца. Покупать новые стволы просто нет смысла, так как отличия столь мизерны, а цены так высоки, что просто теряется вся рентабельность данного действия. В New Dawn это изменили, игру просто невероятно трудно пройти с оружием 2го уровня сражаясь против врагов 3го.
    Это же касается и напарников их много, но пользоваться вы будете только двумя - тремя. Особенно полезен напарник пилот. Так как в игре появились враги лётчики. Они выслеживают тебя с воздуха, от них практически нельзя спрятаться, сбить самолёт с земли ну практически не возможно, а летать на самолёте самому в Far Cry это также удобно, как засунуть себе большой палец левой ноги в правое ухо. А напарник их отвлекает, а иногда сбивает.
    Кстати протагонист теперь по сути трансгендер, можно играть как за девочку так и за мальчика отличий "0". И то и другое глухонемые.
    Визуальная часть не изменилась совсем, прокачка по большому счёту тоже.
    И так вывод. В Far Cry 5 мне понравилась история семейки Сидов, особенно если проходить вместе с New Dawn. История цельная, не глупая и в дополнении имеет логическое завершение. Неплохая атмосфера игры держит довольно крепко. 98% геймплейных механик перекочевали из Far Cry 4, так что кому всё это нравится, советую.    … Expand

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

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

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

    Is Far Cry 5 as good as 3 or 4? I'm afraid not.

    I think where it fails most is by making your character an anonymous nameless male or female protagonist who never speaks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    One of the best Far Cry games, map is huge, Graphics are the best part, story is okay, and I loved doing all the side quests, mainly the fishing ones. I found it rather fun although some side quests are really annoying like doing the eagles. Worst part is the online. It had potential but it was horrible. Trying to play Coop with friends is just such a pain, Falls short to Far Cry 4, and 3

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

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

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

    Removing the best Far Cry features, Far Cry 5 brings the series to a "generic FPS" state, which you are nobody and your only objective is to blow some heads. It has no narrative, storyline or character development, although it tries to address some deep themes. A really disappointing experience. However, it is a pretty fun, uncommitted shooter, with beautiful landscapes, which are fun to explore.

Side missions varied with some really funny/interesting characters, such as Hurk’s dad and a movie director, with some duds, like kill animal/fetch quests. I ignored most of the side collectable activities because I did not find them very fun. These involved finding ways to get into underground bunkers to collect magazines for perk points and map exploration destruction targets (shrines and beacons). I did enjoy assaulting and taking control of cult outposts and the stunt devil activities. The companion system was a bit lackluster with active companions randomly disappearing. Instead of automatically re-appearing when their death/random disappearance timer expired you need to actively re-slot them which ended up just being annoying. Also, the companions control options were very bare bones and sometimes nonfunctional (example: controls of the helicopter companion involving landing). One constant annoyance I ran across was the number of interruptions by cultist aircraft. No matter where you are or what you are doing, the cult air force will make it their mission to interrupt quest progression activities (primarily interrupting turning in a quest or progressing NPC dialogue). My most memorable moment has to be the games’ ending. The game concludes on an interesting twist and provides a nice contrast to an otherwise mediocre tale of generic story villains.… Expand

There are 4 villains, one of which is the main one, and the game allows you to kill whoever you want first. Completely gone are the towers for exploring the surroundings, which is solved here so that you simply accidentally find a building or something like that on the blind. It is the first part where you can create your character yourself, which is basically a small insignificant plus. Joseph Seed is a pretty interesting villain who has a pretty good motivation, but even so, his fanatical **** started to piss me off pretty quickly. The gameplay is a lot of fun and I didn't have time to get bored. Each boss fight was original in its own way, just like the bosses Faith, John and Jacob themselves. The arsenal of weapons here is great. There are definitely as many weapons as you will ever need. Activities in the open world like blasting tanks, liberation and others make the game even more fun and you can be helped in your journey by a friend you play with online or companions you get during the game. Unfortunately, the story here is downright subpar and it's better to ignore it. Physics lags behind, and you can't avoid repetition here either. Furthermore, complete illogicality... So 10X per game your character faints and appears next to the opponent. I can't say that, unlike its predecessors, it's a Masterpiece or an amazing game, but it's definitely a fun action ride that doesn't just get tired with its gameplay, but at the same time doesn't exactly excite you twice.

The enemies and allies alike seem to be a total of about 6 models, you'll start to see familiar faces over and over and over again. The allies in particular do not seem to know how to cross a road properly, and will do dumb stuff like run into a fire that you've created accidentally whilst blowing up a fuel truck. There is also a bug currently where you maybe stuck playing in night time mode, my suggestion is to find a quest/ liberate an outpost which has an ending cut scene that is in day time. The game does also have a sub par ending, but i won't go into that in detail. My overall feel of the environments would be like a 9/10 but the repetitive nature of enemies and the dumbed down AI system for both allies and foes, i'd give a 3/10. The gameplay such as fighting/driving i'd give a 7.5/10.… Expand

    I found this to be the worst Far Cry game so far. It didn't start particularly well, as my game froze for about 10 minutes on the first load. After a while, I closed the game and restarted it only for the same thing to happen again.

It didn't start particularly well, as my game froze for about 10 minutes on the first load. After a while, I closed the game and restarted it only for the same thing to happen again. After googling around I stumbled on the ubisoft support article explaining that if the game is frozen on an image of two people it's actually a character gender select screen and a gender should be selected. Unbelievable, so instead of some text stating it's a character select screen, or otherwise relaying via some other type of method asking me to select a character they decide to leave silhouettes of player models with no text and instead have a support page on the website explaining the player needs to select a model. Such a terrible design.

    This poor start didn't improve through the beginning of the game. Aside from a very brief and simplistic intro to the world, you're sent off to figure everything out yourself.

    The plot is poorly conveyed, and frankly boring. The 'story' missions are uninspired and tedious and most have very little bearing to the actual plot. I found the characters uninteresting.
    In fact the entire game just feels like a series of incohesive quests dumped on a map, the narrative is thin and relayed terribly. Even Far Cry Primal felt like a more cohesive campaign than Far Cry 5.
    I don't recall feeling this way with Far cry 3 or 4.
    Even Far Cry 2 had me caught up on things fairly quickly.

    Far Cry 5 doesn't give you actual story missions to visit (well aside from boss fights). You get character time with the main characters of the game mostly by completing a certain number of missions in particular regions of land. This means it's a fairly long time until you get to actually meet the Creed family and it can be a bit of a chore keeping interested by those points.
    I found Jacob and John pretty pointless characters, but Faith was fascinating, and I wish the game was just about her and Joseph.

    Overall the game is fairly straight forward, you get missions by meeting the right people in the world, finding those people, as well as unlocking fast travel points are the most important things in the game.
    That combined with finding money stashes and perk point magazines, which you need to have any hope in getting decent weapons or abilities, means that exploring the whole world is very important. Plus as you meet the right people you'll get allies that will assist you and transport you around as well as revive you.
    So essentially you have to forget about the actual plot of the game and just try to explore as much as you can, and once you're leveled up enough with weapons, allies, perks, and money the game starts to get a bit more interesting and it'll coincide with plot developments.

    I kinda wish more character development, and world-building was done early in the game so it didn't feel like such a chore to actually get to a point where the game starts to become interesting.

    The ending comes out of nowhere. I get that it's meant to signify that it's not just Montanna that's falling apart, but it really just comes out of nowhere and has no bearing with the story arc of the game. I don't recall any world-building within the game to prepare us for it.
    I'm about to start New Dawn, so we'll see how I feel about it in the future.

    Three things I wish were fixed with Far Cry 5 (side from the redundant character select screen):

    There are no audio volume options, you can set the master volume and that's it, but the sound effects drown out the music and voice so you cant hear what characters are saying. I found myself constantly changing the volume on my tv to hear what characters say then turning it down after to stop the deafening sound effects. Use subtitles.

    Ubisoft have removed the ability to toggle/filter a legend on the map, and also the ability to traverse through landmarks via dpad, making finding things on the map much harder than previous far cry games. I don't know why, and find it unnecessary and annoying.    … Expand

    The game is so empty, generic, hordes of enemies on the map with maximum 5 models of enemies, nonsense missions where you can finish the game just doing side missions which doesn't make any sense.

    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)

    But overall I had some fun and these were just my opinions from my time in the game    … Expand

The game dynamics, the visuals are one of the best you can see today. Sending your furry friend Boomer taking down the bad dudes is a great fun and the coop-player mode is very much enjoyable. The coop mode succeeds in an area where many other games with coop mode fail, the game dynamics promotes the cooperation.

    When it comes to the story, it is awful. The main evil talks religious stuff, then he sings, talks more religious stuff and this goes on and on. After few minutes, you just want this to be over and be able to go and play. After you bought the game, you literally watching 15 minutes of story before able to fire your first shot. 15 minutes that could be squeezed in 2, and no skip button!
    Before you can play in coop mode, you need to climb a tall tower, maybe fall few times and die. A good game intro should teach you the game dynamics. I can't believe that the best they can come up with is to show that falling from great heights is bad for your health.    … Expand

    I'll start positive, it's beautiful. Mechanics are great, I always use the bow in these games, so that’s always fun.

    I wish I had a PC to see it at max quality, but never the less it's gorgeous. I LOVE running around (I rarely drive in the far cry games) getting lost, finding random scenes and moments in the woods, it's amazing. Big fan of games that involve a lot of exploring and collecting so I’m very happy with this game for that. Also has an added awesome bonus that I’m running around with a bear and cougar by my side, feeling like a f**king warg.

    It is also funny, as expected, I do end up skipping a lot of dialogue as people tend to go on a bit, but the character’s responses to you rushing them, always provides a little giggle.

    There are also all the little moments, or hidden areas you run into along the way. A favourite scene was the haunted house, especially with the creepy dude looking at you and then walking away, I’m hoping more comes out of that little bit. And of course, I’m looking forward to getting into the Bigfoot mystery.

    However, I find myself getting so frustrated with this game. Just some bits that feel like a missed opportunity, almost, lazy. I'm reluctant to use that word as I can understand the work that goes into a game.

    But for instance, when you meet the specialist Jess Black - she goes into gruesome detail about the guy you're hunting "The Cook" a sadistic cannibal, who starves people and feeds human meat to them etc etc etc, so I’m thinking "Oh cool, a mini boss", I’m picturing a tall, probably fat dude, with a dirty apron, covered in blood, with a huge knife or something.... NOPE, just a run of the mill s**t bad guy with a flamethrower who looks just like all the other crap AI, such a huge let down.

    With the main villains, well, I like the idea of who they are and get the type of characters they're supposed to be, (the performances are awesome) - but I just don't care about them. Get bored of the dialogue, find myself skipping a lot of it, ‘cuz it just goes on and on and on. I thought this game would be a bit crazier and more interesting, but it just seems to fall short of what it could have been, but hey-ho, the BLAM BLAM BLAM side of it is great so there's that.

    What bothered me the most though was the constant repetitive, inescapable - get drugged, get caught, escape, s**t narrative. It’s the most annoying and stupid thing. All it did was break me away from my enjoyment of the game, it's frustrating. I wouldn't mind if it happened out of nowhere once or twice, as a little surprise, but 9 times?! And to only go and do the same s**t 3 times for each boss? Again, it just felt a bit all to familiar, somewhat lazy and unnecessary. It's like some studio head was like "This is what people loved from 3! Let's just multiply that s**t!!"

    This is my first ever review online for anything media based, but I just had to for this game as I really want to love it all the way to 10, but I just can't. There's not a lot about it that made me care. That being said, I brought it, I'm yet to finish it, and apparently, I have a disappointing ending ahead of me. However, I do have a WHOLE bunch of collecting to do, so I’m happy about that. They also give you the option to reset all of the out posts, so think I’ll do that too, make it a little more exciting.

    I’ll most likely check out the DLC’s, but not before watching the trailers and seeing what some of the reviews are saying.    … 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.

    Segundo juego de la famosa saga de Ubisoft que juego tras Far Cry 3 de salida allá en el lejano 2012. Esta quinta entrega numerada tiene pretensiones, pero no consigue cumplirlas como esperaba.

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

    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

    The story sucks, the characters and acting suck, and you can see that this is by far the least worked on far cry. The developers didn't care about this game like they did to the previous far cry's. The gameplay however is GREAT and so is the world. Only if the story was better and if the developers actually tried.
    PS: This is the most repayable far cry yet. So I have to give it extra points.

    To hard to drive cars and motocycles, the game is too dificult( i play in medium and i usualy die 3 times in each mission playing like a normal person and the history of the game is horrible. The only thing that saves the game is the good graphics.

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

Игра неплохая… неплохая на фоне друг игр от Юбисофт, которые созданы для того, чтобы занять нас, пока мы ждём нормальные игры. Юбики со своей задачей справляются и делают крепкие середнячки - довольно комплексные игры, где всё вроде неплохо, но не идеально, потому что количество преобладает над качеством, что говорит нисколько о творческом подходе, сколько о выполнении тех. задания, типа надо сделать 50 побочек и нарисовать 50 км игровой карты и из-за этого часть контента это копипаст с прошлых частей или с самой себя.
    По традиции стрельба реализована отвратительно и это единственная серия игр, не считая GTA, которую я прохожу с автоаимом, и от части в часть ничего не меняется в лучшую сторону - просто клепают по проверенным лекалам.

    Моя оценка 6,5 из 10, не больше, а ведь такие надежды подавала игра своими трейлерами, но вышло просто неплохо, хотя могли бы тему религии обстебать пожёстче, но очканули кого-то оскорбить.
    Рекомендую брать строго по скидкам, а уж сколько для вас нормальная скидка - решать только вам! Дадут в Game Pass или в Live Gold может даже ещё разок пробегу через лет так пять:)    … 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

    6/10 - Far Cry 5 is okay, but not more.

    Story: The Story in FC5 is very weak. The game is filled with irrelevant sidequests that are simply not fun. I don't even have to start talking about the bosses. They are a bad joke. I expected so much from a Far Cry story and didn't get the slightest bit of what I expected. Multiplayer: I only played the multiplayer once and had no fun at all.    6/10 - Far Cry 5 is okay, but not more.

    Multiplayer: I only played the multiplayer once and had no fun at all. Don't buy FC5 because of the multiplayer!

    Other: Furthermore it has to be said that the AI in FC5 is very stupid. This makes enemy bases very easy to capture. The game contains some bugs that are often funny. But I can well imagine that these will bother many of you. But I have to say that the gunplay is a lot of fun. It feels very good. This is where Far Cry 5 scores!

    Conclusion: The game is okay. But I expected a lot more, especially from the story. If you had fun with Far Cry Primal, for example, you will also find your fun here. If you don't enjoy Far Cry in general, don't touch it here. As far as the story is concerned, Far Cry 5 definitely doesn't offer an emotional story. You play the story and will forget that Far Cry 5 exists. There's nothing to remember.    … Expand

    I kind of disliked how you had to get enough points in an area before you could move on. Would love to see Ubisoft make changes for a new Far Cry game as it is a loved series. Villains were okay but still a very enjoyable experience.

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

    Far Cry games are always fun to me. From the weapons and the vehicles to missions and characters. This is a solid game and it lured me in. The story was pretty disappointing and post game is a bit boring. I did enjoy the graphics a lot. Other than that I can say I didn't have any issues.

    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.

    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.
