    A bright, beautiful, vibrant take on a post-apocalyptic open world with a reduced price tag just isn't enough to save it from its underwhelming story, frustrating glitches, derivative design, poorly implemented RPG mechanics and heavily padded content. It's almost as if it goes out of its own way to be the worst Far Cry yet.

I usually like the 'outpost' mechanic in these games, but in far cry new dawn, they were quite uninspiring, especially for trophy hunters like myself, you will end up doing all of them three times each!! Same with the expeditions, where you search for a package, retrieve it, and survive until the helicopter arrives, fairly boring, but admittedly better with a co-op partner, but again three times each, there's seven expeditions!! There is fun to be had at times, but pretty few and far between. There's some interesting new weapons and a new roster as you'd expect. I paid £20 for this and was left disappointed, maybe £10-£15 would be a fairer price, for what ultimately large dlc.… Expand

    Hey more Far Cry open map shooty bang bang nonsense yay!? My 8th Far Cry game and I just can't do this Far Cry formula anymore. This IP sorely needs innovation or to go into a total different direction. I think I enjoyed the spin offs the most like Instincts, Blood Dragon and Primal.

Даже не смотря на всеобщий фанатизм к третьей части, считаю, что пятая ничуть не хуже. Даже Primal мне очень понравился, но вот с New Dawn ситуация далеко не такая радужная. В целом игра любопытная, хоть и абсолютно одноразовая. Сама механика продолжает работать и в один момент даже затягивает, но всё рушит РПГ-гринд-составляющая, которая в этой игре ну просто никак не нужна. Я иду по карте, вижу рядом тайник, с чувством предвкушения мчусь решать загадку, а там встречаю трех штурмовиков третьего уровня. И даже если им в упор в лицо из пулемета катушку высадить - им почти ни царапины, а меня они с двух попаданий уничтожают. И вот ты сидишь такой и думаешь: что это за херня? Это дивижн что ли? Да даже в дивижн такой херни не было. Отдельная история с прокачкой. Качай медотсек, качай оружейную, качай сад, качай картографа, качай солдат, качай всё, а еще качай персонажа. Теперь простейшие вещи, типа фаст тревела тоже нужно качать и требует это всё невероятного количества очков. А почему? Потому что вот магазин юбисофт, зайди и за 1500 рублей купи очков себе на пару прокачек, а потом еще и еще и еще раз. Игру затягивают как могут. Взяли половину карты пятого фаркрая и точек на ней поставили в 20 раз меньше. В итоге как ни крути - приходится наматывать километры от точки до точки, собирать тонны всякого ненужного барахла, чтобы хоть на патроны хватило. Вывод такой: как эксперимент такое простить можно, игра сносная. Но как шаг в развитии серии - это отвратительно. Я очень любил фаркрай, всегда предзаказывал новые части, но если теперь серия будет двигаться в таком направлении - мне это не интересно и играть я в это не буду. И надеюсь, все здравомыслящие люди отнесутся к этому так же и не дадут запороть великолепную франшизу унылым гриндом.… Expand

    End of this generation consoles life span and Farcry as stale as a 6 year old cracker. Time too take what's best from this series and create a new IP. Even the name of the game leaves my palette dry... 9.99 price tag about right just to get it in and out of the way...

    The game has an absolutely broken detection and stealth system. I purposely switched the game between all difficulties and it works equally bad on all of them.

    The only sequences that are at least a little interesting are with Joseph Seed.

    However, just as I hadn't the slightest desire to stay with the game longer than absolutely necessary, I have no interest in staying with this review for long.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, I'm a huge fan of the Far Cry series and I've played Far Cry 2, 3, 4, 5 and this one.
    Far Cry New Dawn is a standalone expansion that talks about the aftermath of the ending of Far Cry 5, with the explosions of the nuclear bombs.
    The map is still the same, and it's not so post apocaliptic, the story takes place 18 years after the fifth chapter, but it's pretty much the same map, with partially destroyed buildings and very bright vegetation that is growing everywhere.
    I really don't like all the RPG elements, they just don't have any sense in this kind of game and they actually ruin all the Far Cry in this Far Cry.
    The plot Is okay, it's pretty good to me.

    It's a shallow RPG with a far cry skin. Instead of a massive open world playground, you are now boxed into areas with enemies you can currently kill. No gun customization and boring skills for things we already have access too in previous games.

    I have played Far Cry 2, 3, 4, 5, and Primal. What separates Far Cry New Dawn from all of these? Lots of pink flowers, apparently. All the core mechanics are the same as ever and are very worn and tired by this point.

    The graphics are fairly good but also a bit glitchy, such as seeing my partner randomly glitch-walk through the background during a conversation with AI.

    The graphics are fairly good but also a bit glitchy, such as seeing my partner randomly glitch-walk through the background during a conversation with AI. What is most noticeable is the aforementioned shade of pink that is seemingly everywhere. I like pink, but I also like not feeling like I'm playing Far Cry 5 with a shade of pink added.

    The same core gameplay mechanics dominate this game. The start of the game sees you hoisted into the beginnings of a rebel camp against overwhelming odds. From there you must recruit allies, take over enemy bases, upgrade your own and explore the locale for resources. Does this sound familiar? It should - it's been the structure of every Far Cry game since the fourth, if not earlier.

    If you haven't played any other Far Cry game, this could be half-decent, but these tired old open-world mechanics are very repetitive and very lazy to continue to be relied upon by Ubisoft at this point.

    One other key thing is worth mentioning, which is the microtransactions that are not-so-discretely slotted into the game and can greatly expedite your progress at the expense of more hard-earned cash, unlike the cash that Ubisoft rakes in every year from this crap.

    Really, Far Cry New Dawn has absolutely nothing new about it. Don't bother with this even though it's practically a bargain-bin game by now. There's a reason why I found it there.    … Expand

    What i found hard with this game is finding and having powerful enough weapons to start with. You number one priority is to level up your weapon grade. Enemies are bulletsponges to start with. But once you hit the legendary weapons to craft they get fairly easy to put down. Even the wildlife attacking you demands 2 boxes of shotgun shells to be put down to start with.
    I found the whole game to be very uneven. Enemies does not level up as you do. They are tough as nails in the beginning but super easy in the end.
    There is not much collectibles on this map that Ubisoft is known to litter it with. Due to the short story, you find everything else excess once it's over.
    The more fun aspect of this game are the Expedition missions which takes you to a whole different map out of Hope County. There are 5 of them, but even those gets repetetive pretty quick as they have the same mission every time.
    Like the original Far Cry 5, you have allies to join you. A total of 6 braindead characters with low AI, one dog and one boar (?) (Yes Hurk does a comeback once again as one of them) But i had only used half of them when i was done. Never bothered to use the others. If you want to be flexible with allies, get them early in the game.
    Voice acting is usually dreadful. no biggie there.
    Combat itself is a mess. Totally disorientating once the heat starts building up. Because of the glittering fauna around you sort of blinds your sight you can barely see anything once bullet starts flying. if you are in the hole getting fired on from all sides, just run and hide.
    I am going to finish it as there are little else to play now. Once done with the story. Grind a little more for no reason. finish the expedition on all levels for some achievements and delete the whole thing from the drive.

I tried re playing it without any overpowered weapons on the hardest difficulty and the game was still incredibly easy. But this is a review on New Dawn. The post apocalyptic theme is nice and the vibrant colors look really nice. But god do I have things to say. Every companion is terrible in their own way. Every human companion besides the besides the Judge is annoying and Timber and the boar (I forgot it's name) Are way too op. But i'm talking out of my ass here because I used companions for about 9 minutes before going solo. I only used them when I was testing them thinking one would be different. They tried to re use the Far Cry 5 map but fell flat on their face. The RPG element is terrible too. RPGS usually take me about 200+ hours to finish. They wear me out incredibly easy and make me feel lazy for not doing side quests. Far Cry New Dawn tries their best to shove this element into Far Cry 5 and fail. Also please don't give us another **** silent protag. Personally I get where they're coming from thinking people can be themselves by customization to make them look like they're real life person. The problem is that their voice can not be transferred into the game and they can't talk to anyone. It makes it even less immersive. I hear Far Cry 6 has a voice acted character tho but I haven't play 6 yet as i'm waiting to get a PS5. So I overall do not like this game at all.

    Far Dry "New Dawn" is ubisofts try on the proressive "crowd" amongst PC gamers.. and it seemed that the woke crew was pretty happy with the two black chicks on the cover, celebrating "diversity" and a "new take" to the genre, until someone killed the whole party mood by pointing out that farcry always had the, main villain on the cover.

    Man, what a party pooper..

    but nevertheless, turned out you cant sell copies of a game merely on diversity quotas and leave other aspects of the game unchanged, unimproved .. like the map or the base controls or a meager story or basically any other aspect of the game that was not changed to far cry 5.

    Far cry new dawn is a 15$ dlc to Far cry 5.. and it looks like, that none of the new additions to the franchise was worth the additional 25$ to the audience that ubisoft wanted to have..

    ... And while Apex legends with its 2 LGBTQ representations and 3 female legends has shown astonishingly that the mostly male FPS/BR gamers simply arent that toxic masculin about player characters if they are simply good and the game overall is working as intended, games that are putting lgbtq and divesity focus instead of a good game system were not doing as well.
    the games that put on focus instead of creating a good game were seeling bad.

    So, turns out that diversity isnt a selling point after all, which did surprise actually noone that was going to buy the game, but it seems to be a painful relevation to those people that wanted wokeness inetad of game assets included in their games and hoped for that relatively cheap game asset to boost sales.

    Now don't get me wrong: sometimes a sequel like this works out: take for example Far Cry 3: dragon blood. In retrospect, that was a success compared to this abysmal mess.

    Far Cry New Dawn does everything you'd expect from a Far Cry title. However, it failed to deliver the same level of polish and enjoyment its predecessor enjoyed, and while it’s still packed with buckets of fun, I couldn't help shake the feeling that I’ve done all this before.

    New Dawn is a clearing of the air after Far Cry 5, but calling it a "new dawn" is preposterous. What we have here is a sideways hop, a purgatory of a sequel in a series that has no idea what to do with itself, beyond giving you another mapful of nodes to flip. [Issue#331, p.116]

    No doubt about it, Far Cry: New Dawn can give you tons of fun for hours, but if you've played a Far Cry game before, you know what you're getting into, for better or for worse.
