But there's nothing new offered, really. You burn plants while music plays, you shoot bad guys with the bow, you drive cars. And that's fun, if you like that! I do and I enjoyed a lot of it. But the game gets old after a while because it's just kind all derivative after a certain point. The game only has so many things it does well. It eventually overdoes them and it becomes a slog at that point. It's just a re-skin of a the last few games in the series and once the novelty wears off, it just becomes forgettable.

    The plot is nothing to write home about. It's alright at first, then gets very stale by the time you're done with your second of the three territories you have to free. Giancarlo Esposito is a wonderful, wonderful villain but there isn't enough of him. And the ending is unfulfilling on a lot of levels, but thankfully it is not as bad as 5's. There are a few good twists, though, which is nice.

    As far as this series goes, it's nowhere as neat/inventive as Far Cry 3, so it's tying with Far Cry 4 in the series. It's not worth the full price, but if you'd like a fun-action shooter this game is probably worth like 30 bucks, tops. 40 would be stretch.    … Expand

    -Beautiful game, really felt they did a good job diversifying the environment.

    -Enjoyable combat and mechanics.

    -I liked that there's still base-building (gathering supplies to upgrade hideouts and such, which I enjoyed in 4 and New Dawn as well)

    -Like Far Cry 5, more effort was put into developing the resistance characters than just the villains

    -Nice selection of Fangs for Hire, glad that they kept that feature.

    -Giancarlo Esposito provides a great performance as Anton Castillo. Very sinister.

    Cons:

    -There's so much going on with upgrades and supremos and gear that it gets a bit messy. I get being ambitious, but there's a point where it just gets overcrowded. The way in which one upgraded or altered weapons wasn't the most straight-forward process either.

    -Did not like the fact that skills are attached to clothes and items instead of a skill tree.

    -Was not fond of the vehicle handling. Felt that the cars were way too easy to flip or upset.

    -While I enjoyed the base-building, it was not as comprehensive as New Dawn's system.

    -The story was weak. Part of what made me like Far Cry 5 so much was that I liked a lot of the side-characters; I felt that they were developed as individuals very well, and therefore felt invested in their fates. I didn't really get attached to any characters in this game.

    -Anton Castillo is a great villain, but he isn't nearly as present in this game as Vaas, Pagan, or the Seeds were in their games. On a series that gets its fame for its villains, that's a big misstep. No point in having a great actor if you're not going to under-use him.

    -I was also not into some of the political stuff in this game. Previous games took stabs at different political figures here and there (Obama in 4, Trump in 5) but for the most part focused on greater themes about loyalty, power, peace, war, human nature, etc. There were points in Far Cry 6 where the line was crossed from "the game is depicting mature themes" to "the game is preaching to me about how to feel about different topics". The best media lets you draw your own conclusions instead of spoon-feeding it to you.

    This was not a bad game, per se. But bigger isn't always better, and I feel like Ubisoft would do better by scaling back a bit in whatever they do next. Like sure, offer loads of side-quests like the Yaran stories, the treasure hunts, the Lighters in 5, etc- but don't lose focus of the plot, and don't over-complicate the mechanics.    … Expand

    I’m quite a fan of the Far Cry series, but disappointed in this game as its story isn’t anywhere as good as the hype makes you believe it is.

    Interesting main antagonist, shame the same can’t be said about the player protagonist and the Libertad. This game could have been much better with just a few minor tweaks and a smaller map.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well...I expected nothing and it was fine. I got it from a friend so I was happy not to pay for it. The gameplay was as always, typical far cry. I like the weapons but did not really use the arsenal. The use of gear was useless in my eyes. The setting was cool but the villain was not...sadly... the previous parts were way better.

    The last 10 hours were a struggle for me as I wanted to finish the game to get it over. The end was bad, with no real boss fight and a non satisfying end... well...    … Expand

    Pretty good game with an… OK ending. Enjoyed Far Cry 5 a lot more. Giancarlo Esposito was a fantastic choice for a villain. Also, had some issues playing on PS4, occasional freezing and bugs, but nothing too unplayable.

    VERY BORING GAME. Boring plot. Mobs spawn immediately after clearing the location.
    Look at the accounts that are given to the game 10. These are bots of the Ubisoft. They give 10 points to the game on all platforms and they have no more reviews in their history.

    the game lacking Italian spoken dialogues is inexcusable mistake. Moreover it does nothing to innovate its old open world formula with uninspired quests, weird characters, eccentric humor and meaningless activities. Visually uninspired too.

    Game gets boring FAST. Story missions are disjointed and every mission has a "fetch quest" vibe to them. Playing for 30 minutes at a time is enough as it's an open world created without any soul or love. None of the characters stand out. They're all so bland and forgettable.

    Dopo aver giocato tutti i Far Cry precedenti con parlato in italiano, questo sesto episodio lascia l'amaro in bocca e non si capisce perché abbiano tolto la nostra lingua dal gioco. Se persino Watch Dogs Legion aveva il parlato in italiano ed era un giochino secondario, per quale motivo avete eliminato l'italiano da una serie consolidata e con tanti fans come quella di Far Cry?

It's going to get alot of GOTY awards, as time will pass: and people will realise that nothing else will have reached this plateau. Shooting's gone from being passable at best, but always below par: to perhaps being the best in the genre now. Guns were animated before, now they seem simulated with how the recoil bounces them around. The optical sights also are simulated and move around alot, which I haven't seen in a game yet. Impacts are very brutal. All the weapons now feel as good as an FPS gets. That alone-the gunplay, might be the single biggest(and most needed) improvement. But it's not really, the fact that you can cause so much chaos it just doesn't stop for 15 minutes till you're dead, is the real star. It's the chaos simulator it was always meant to be.

    It also feels and looks next gen to me, and it SHOULD. Far Cry V was the first not to be held back by last last gen, so was the first true PS4 gen game. This blows it away graphically, really does seem to be the same as in the gameplay vids (even the water with its next gen effects, is on PS4), lighting's phenomenal, the same rich particle effects, shadows are being cast way into the distance, water is especially impressive-though not at first glance. This is the swansong for the PS4 and X1: there won't be another game that looks and plays this good for those machines. Couldn't be happier, as this is everything I was hoping for. Just as Far Cry 3 was the swansong for my '360, being the best looking, best playing and most technically impressive game on that system, so it is for Far Cry 6 on my PS4.    … Expand

    Far Cry is now officially a Just Cause knock-off. There’s a grappling hook, a wingsuit, plenty of vehicles with universally poor handling, a huge open world and a dumb story with one-dimensional dictator. It wouldn’t be too bad by itself, but the gameplay is also a lot slower than in JC, turning every potentially fun activity into a chore. [Issue#256, p.32]

    Far Cry 6 offers an adventure similar to the previous chapters but on a larger scale thanks to the virtues of the new generation of consoles, with hardly any changes in the playable and certain bugs that obscure the final result of a long and entertaining title.
