    Хорошая игра, красивый визуал, приятная графика. По геймплею это старый добрый Far Cry, ничего нового тут нет, разве что убрали вышки. Сюжет получился лучше, чем в Far Cry 4, все антагонисты получились очень хорошо, у каждого есть свои методы вовлечения в секту, безумно все харизматичные, и их довольно часто показывали в кат-сценах, в отличии от Far Cry 4, которая проходится за 10-15Хорошая игра, красивый визуал, приятная графика. По геймплею это старый добрый Far Cry, ничего нового тут нет, разве что убрали вышки. Сюжет получился лучше, чем в Far Cry 4, все антагонисты получились очень хорошо, у каждого есть свои методы вовлечения в секту, безумно все харизматичные, и их довольно часто показывали в кат-сценах, в отличии от Far Cry 4, которая проходится за 10-15 часов, а Пэйгана Мина за эти ну очень мало показывают и рассказывают его историю, если все кат-сцены с его участием собрать, то всего получится 30-40 минут, и это печально, потому что Пэйган прямо с самого начала задаёт тон игре. Теперь возвращаемся к Far Cry 5. Главные антагонисты получились очень классными и интересными, но не получились второстепенные герои. Мне на них было вообще всё равно и эта главная проблема их, они очень плохо прописаны, не запоминаются. Второстепенные герои - это болванчики, к которым ты подбегаешь и берёшь задания и всё. Система прогрессии мне более или менее понравилась. Идея конечно классная, но реализация плохая. 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. А так, в правильный руках, эта игра была бы наверно шедевром!… Expand

    Este jogo simplesmente não funciona, é completamente bugado, o stealth é péssimo, o combate é o pior da série, armas de curto alcance toscas, inimigos bucha de tiro, personagens bossais e um enredo vergonhoso.

After the opening scene, you're then dropped into this comically redneck world that contrasts with the tone of the main story too much. After accepting that this game has nothing smart or interesting to say, then you experience all of the technical faults this game has. You'll be exploring, maybe rappelling up a cliff to grab a prepper stash, only for a horde of cultist which you previously cleared to respawn randomly and down your companion, forcing you to abandon what you were doing to help. Same could be said of when you're fishing have to abandon a fish mid hook to deal with cultist that have spawned in the area and are now shooting you. Ruins the flow of the game. Other times, you'll clip into walls, steel beams, cliffs, etc, forcing you to do a hard reset. The driving is a shade above awful and you literally have 2 radio stations to help you ignore how bad the driving is. The gunplay is terrible. 3 and 4 felt snappy and precise enough to make it exciting. Gunplay in 5 is goopy, drifty and just full of awful recoil. The world of Montana is very pretty, but honestly pales in comparison to an Island paradise (3) or the Himalayan mountains (4).

    I'm glad I purchased this on sale, because this is among the most disappointing games I've played in some time.    … Expand

    The script writer must have a pretty messed up mind to come up with such ridiculous endings, so zero point for the plot.

This is the first time I rate something on metacritic, I took the extra effort to register an account just so that I can express my anger after playing through. This game is my first one into the franchise, and I really hoped, after bearing all the harassing in-game environment and the naive bad guy mumble jumble, to be able to kill the antagonist in the final boss fight, but surprise surprise, the game resorted such a borderline sociopathic ending like a gigantic feces-soaked middle finger rubbing my face. I'm not someone who only appreciate happy ending, I like well plotted very bad endings too, but this, this is far beyond disgusting. I will never even touch this franchise ever again.

    Kinda fun gameplay and it looks good. The story is just kinda bad honestly, The characters are boring. The structure of the story just makes it seem unimportant. There's zero depth to the story, or it isn't comunicated well. the open world is fun to explore which is a plus. I recommend it if you like far cry games but it doesnt offer anything new or intersting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Far cry 5 is a game that takes a great idea for a story but manages to turn it into a Ubisoft game. What do I mean by a Ubisoft game? I mean a generic boring game that crashes every single time I fast travel. I played this game at launch, and about two weeks ago, all the way through both times. While it looks fine and plays fine, it takes a potentially interesting story with a idea and made it boring. Somehow managing to turn a cult in the U.S.A into something dull. The actor playing "The Father" is clearly talented and doing a great job, but his character is easily predictable, as he justifies everything he does with "God said to do it" which gets old really quick. The three sub bosses are a little better, but they're just three mentally ill people who have a place to hurt people which is as far as they go. The allied characters are all just one note bit parts like the sniper lady is from a military, or the preacher just an unhinged preacher. In that it remains dull. Having the character you play as not speak, or even have a real name, can work in some games, but here it just feel lazy. The side missions are a little better but not by much. They just allow for a little more fun. Overall if you have ever played a Ubisoft game since Far Cry 3, you've played this game. Yet some how it's worse then a game that came out 6 years before it. In addition, this game is laden with microtransactions and it is important to remember that Ubisoft not only defended employees who committed sexual assault on female employees, but also allowed said abusers "resign" with a very large sum of money and no legal action placed.… Expand

    In gameplay there are lots of ways to play the game and there were interesting wildlife to hunt. Few game breaking bugs with multiplayer but otherwise super fun and worth your money.

    Eigentlich bin ich ein riesiger Far Cry Fan, aber was Ubisoft nach dem 3. Teil mit dieser Serie gemacht hat ist einfach ultra schade.

Die Welt ist wieder nach der bekannten Ubisoft Formel gemacht, tausende belanglose, schlecht geschriebene und langweilige Nebenmissionen und viel zu viele Gegner auf der Karte, natürlich gibt es auch wieder die Türme, die man machen muss um die Karte weiter freizulegen,
    Dazu kommt noch das das Gunplay miserabel geworden ist und das ist bei einem so bekannten Shooter wie Far Cry schon wirklich peinlich, die Charaktere bleiben alle blass, die Handlung hat unzählige Fehler und es kommt zu keinem Zeitpunkt auch nur ein kleines bisschen Stimmung auf.
    Meiner Meinung nach lohnt es sich einfach vorne und hinten nicht dieses Spie kau kaufen, ich hoffe einfach mal das sich Ubisoft bei Far Cry 6 auf die Anfänge zurück besinnt und wieder ein Spiel raus bringt, das mit den ersten 3 Teilen mithalten kann.

    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.

    I feel like the game content wise is a huge improvement to Far Cry 3 and 4, but I want to know who thought it was okay that you're forced to progress through the main story by getting drugged by poison arrows when you're flying a helicopter 10 kilometers in the athmosphere.

    The gameplay is nice, but the amount of outposts, tedious side-missions (there are fun ones also, but mostly it's a grind) and random enemies only serve to prolongate this game to a 20 h experience instead of a 10 h one. The game makes everything painstakingly repetitive, so it loses it's freshness and it becomes a grind to get resistance points very quickly.

    All the time I played the main storyline and side missions I had a thought "oh, it's like Borderlands 2 but much worse".    … 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.
