    j Welcome to Hope County, Montana. This idyllic location is home to a community of freedom-loving people - and a fanatical doomsday cult known by many as The Project at Eden's Gate. Led by the charismatic prophet Joseph Seed and his devoted siblings, Eden's Gate has been surreptitiously infiltrating all

    great graphics and that's it, lol, the gameplay is the good old way of far cry but, weak plot, and the main villain had everything to be the best so far, and unfortunately it was just mediocre.

    It's been a while since I finished Far Cry 5 but I forgot to rate the game.

A friend called the game like Far Cry 4 on cocaine, and I definitely agree in part, but at the same time, the game is almost not similar to Far Cry 4. 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. You see... Far Cry 3 has always been my favorite game in the series. I played it for the first time some 5 years ago and I really enjoyed it and it set my mind on other Far Cry games. However, now a few years later, I have to say that Far Cry 4 is something unreal and that even Far Cry 3 does not reach it. + Negative + Gameplay and bosses + Arsenal of weapons + Open world + Possibility of multiplayer - The story - Physics - repetitiveness - illogicality 7/10… Expand

    Keeps with the tradition of previous Far Cry titles. Storywise isn't the most creative so far, acceptable but not fascinating.

Joseph Seed is a decent villain, but definitely not even close of being as good of a character as the likes of Vaas or Pagan Min. The whole plot is actually ridiculous for that matter; each of the cult's captains have very nonsensical motives and purposes, and they're bland in character, no substance. At first I thought Joseph was a bad villain but to be honest he redeems himself as a good villain in the end with a huge twist that will definitely suprise any first timers, so definitely look forward to it. Overall a solid game, but falls short in certain aspects that could've used more effort.… Expand

I did a 42 hours playthrough with most of the side content completed. Actually, the sandbox elements are really well done and don't feel like chores (I know Ubisoft has a bad reputation for that...). The open world is organic and fun to navigate into. I feel also that this game has a solid identity and a really unique story (weird, funny, deep and « over the top ». This is the type of game that will leave you some memories afterwards. The soundtrack is way better than average and the graphics are solid (I played at 60FPS on my PS5). The game still has minor glitches but nothing major IMO. This game is really underrated and deserves certainly more praise and attention. I found it better than Days Gone who was really good also. The game is not perfect tough...By moments, it can become pretty chaotic and apparently, the AI is not that good. It can be challenging also if you want to play clean and stealthy. Overall, the game is really good and a big step forward for the Far Cry formula who was getting old after Far Cry 4 and Far Cry primal.… Expand

    What the buggy hell is this? How does Far Cry become worse and worse with each installment? Far Cry 5 is by far the buggiest.

All the pursue missions are a fcking mess. Random sht happens on the way to ruin your mission, I know it's not intended because when you reload the checkpoint, it doesn't happen again. Sometimes your target straight up falls into a buggy loop or randomly just drops dead and your mission succeeds. Wanna do stealth? Enemies sometimes see corpses that are well hidden, or sometimes a random NPC runs into the compound and starts a fight with the outpost and ruins your stealth run. What the actual fck? Can Ubisoft even program?
    Edit: okay I forced myself to finish the game. I think this game's story is written by a mountain troll. By far the weakest story in the far cry franchise, for crying out loud even in the whole gaming history.    … Expand

    A solid 7.8 Very nice FPS single player. Just doesnt offer anything different from the other Far Cry games.
    The Story and atmosphere are amazing and the villains as always brilliant, theyre always the peak of the franchise.
    Also very good and immersive, beautiful open world and music, but like I said, nothing much different from 3 and 4.

    If it's the first Far Cry you've played, you'll like it, if it's not the first, you'll find it a little boring.
    The game is not bad, it's far from it, the game has its charm since the strong point of the game is certainly the environment, as always Ubisoft games fail in the open world, a game overall okay, despite its flaws problems I recommend.    … Expand

    El peor far cry que he jugado....
    Ni lo pude terminar.
    Juego aburrido que no explora mas la jugabilidad, misma historia que el 4 y el 3 pero de peor calidad.
    Buenos graficos y nada más.
    El resto de cosas son negativas.
    No lo recomiendo a menos de que seas un fan toxico de Ubisoft

    So baaad, the smallest fov ever making the sensitivity feel like **** it s like looking through a zoomed camera. Worst gun placement on screen, you only see the barrel of the weapon! So many bad design choices, limited gun selections, you only have a few weapons in a shooting game! The story it s like it isnt even there!

    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.
