    Far Cry 5 put you in a sandbox in Montana, but take away all the fun of it with forced story progression. Kids these days can't play game if it takes more than 4 hours. Game looks good and soundtrack is good, some very good and funny characters. There are some fun elements and if doing properly this could have been great. But this story progression just overshadow all the good things, soFar Cry 5 put you in a sandbox in Montana, but take away all the fun of it with forced story progression.

    To be clear, i completed this game just to get over with the franchise. If this is how far cry goes, then the franchise is a trash for me. The game is garbage and before i tell you why, i will first give the very few good points about this game. You can say this is a triple A because of its sandbox system and it does feel good specially if you ride the chopper and vehicle but thars about it. Why i think this game is trash:

    1. Whenever you progress the game, very often i guess 10 times per region? you will be dragged to this very awful, linear, not very immersive ugly, and very very repetitive mandatory shooting story system. Im guessing it is how they progress the story? Its the worst idea. Its not immersive at all and to make it worst, very repetitive.

    2. Everything about how they execute its story, narrative, is god damn cheesy in a very bad way specially when they play the song "only you" while you are out shooting enemies over and over. POOR TASTE

    3. You couldnt care less about the characters, and their dialogues. Everythings feels like just fillers.

    4. Its a re-skin of Assassins Creed i guess UBISOFT as a whole. Dont trust this awefull developer. Overall, its a TRASH.    … Expand

    Far Cry 5 is another wide-open playground with all the necessary ingredients for causing a real ruckus: loads of enemies and allies, temperamental wildlife, and plenty of explosions.

    Open world, driving vehicles, stealth attacks, all a ton of fun.

    The early cut scenes were also good. The later ones were annoying or unbearable.

    I also disliked the timed sequences.

    Overall, I enjoyed the game and got my money's worth (I spent $15).

    I would say thats a good game with good vilians and bad narrative,where is NPCs are all questguvers and gives you quests,and you are faceless character without your own story and without connection to NPCs.And in gameplay aspects game is good,and i love the cutscenes in this game.

    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.

    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

    Amazing game, with tons of bugs, glitches, terrible missions, like the Quality of Mercy, and lot's of other problems. But, the game is just so charming, so pretty too look at, and so much fun too play, that it's very easy too overlook many of it's issues. Worth picking up if you're a fan of the series. Or are into FPS games.

    Uno dei migliori FPS che abbia mai giocato. Far Cry 5 sa regalare un esperienza divertente e folle, solo in minima parte danneggiata da bug e problemi tecnici. Sicuramente un Must-play per gli amanti del genere.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Will preface that this was my first Far Cry game, though I completed the Platinum trophy challenge and 100% the game, and can say I'm looking forward to playing another Far Cry game very soon. Whether someone who knows the other Far Cry games will think different of this game I couldn't say, but I've read others say this was their favourite, so it'll come down to taste at the end of the day.

    I really enjoyed the humour and fun in this game. Sometimes I can appreciate a game for its immersive world, the visuals, story, but can't always say 'fun'. This game for me was fun. I appreciated that you can play the game in stealth, or all guns blazing. I'm a stealth player, and the sniping was so satisfying. That said, the game has challenges, which equal perk credits, so of course you do all of those, and get to try all the weapon types in the game in the process each of which have their own pros and cons.

    And holy cow, the side missions and prepper missions were nearly all great! A highlight was a particular haunted house spot which took me off guard, it was great. And nobody talks about some of this stuff. The main story was fine, the baddies were suitably insane, and the cut scene visuals were excellent. And other missions have the goofy humour I personally love, be it mowing down farm animals or helping a flame throwing wielding nut shoot the baddies. If I compare the side missions in this to, say, the sameness of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, this game comes out on top. For me was an easy 8.    … Expand

    I bought this game for less than a quarter of its original price on PS4, and IMO they don't deserve even that much money. The quality of this game is shockingly poor. Only one hour in, and I've already encountered dozens of bugs: enemies bodies disappearing right after killing them, the sound is totally broken, the performance is quite poor, the AI isn't even trying to look and act human.I bought this game for less than a quarter of its original price on PS4, and IMO they don't deserve even that much money. The quality of this game is shockingly poor. Only one hour in, and I've already encountered dozens of bugs: enemies bodies disappearing right after killing them, the sound is totally broken, the performance is quite poor, the AI isn't even trying to look and act human. The first "friend" in the game I've encountered didn't say anything after I killed all the traitors but instead started running around the spot like mad. Turned out, he was looking for a rifle, that he later found a couple of feet away from the place he was laying at. Later I tried to save a couple of civilians, killed their offenders, the victim stood up for a second but then laid down again because I didn't kill all the goons in the area (they were lost in the forest nearby and couldn't find a way out). After killing the remaining ones I tried to save the guy, but when I approached him I couldn't interact with him: the button was still disabled. There was another civilian (old redneck woman that can join your team), but she was laying down in the grass with her upper half of body stuck in the ground. She clearly was held hostage by those goons but she was saying something like "what the hell are you doing here?" - that doesn't make any sense. After that I just went to PS menu and smashed "delete" on this game. Hell, they even failed to sync the subtitles with the sound.
    Seriously, this is a $60 AAA title, and it's so broken in the places where even cheap indie games aren't. Moreover, it's been two years after the release, they didn't bother fixing anything (or maybe it was even worse on start).
    And I was hooked up in the first minutes of the game: the aesthetics are really good. I truly wanted to like it, but the next minute they let you play it, it turned into a complete disappointment.
    Overall, this is another potentially good game totally ruined by a greedy corporation that thinks it's fine to roll out half-baked sh*t to the market.    … 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.

    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.
