    Far Cry as a franchise I love my first game was Far Cry 4 and I loved it so I played some others and Far Cry 5 blew me away. I love this game and all its fun goofy glory it won’t be very deep it’s not trying to do that it’s trying to be a video game. I like the addition of the upgrade system because it blocks the player from grinding in the beginning and just being over powered.

    Very underrated game. Feeling of the post-apo world and finding "old" places from FC5 is awesome. Also games mechanics are better than in FC3 and FC4. I had really good fun playing new Dawn and for sure more fun than with Primal or FC4.

    Sim, eu gostei demais do jogo. Entendo as críticas sobre as semelhanças com FC5, assim como o Primal aproveita muito do 4. Deixando isso de lado e analisando o jogo isoladamente, eu acho que vale muito a pena, é um FC menor (do tamanho que todos deveriam ser). Acho que vale a pena pegar em uma promoção.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Better than Far Cry 3. My favorite by far. Mickey and Lou's deaths are sad but the end boss, Ethan is a little underwhelming. Joseph Seeds' death makes up for it though. Either way very good. Absolute must-buy.… Expand

    Just getting back to Far Cry New Dawn in preparation for Far Cry 6. I'm really enjoying the game. I like all the RPG progression unlocks. The style and color palette are more creative, lively. I like oddball animals. Most entertaining Far Cry I've played. I like when they take this franchise to something more interesting than just foliage and guns like the Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars DLC.

    Feels a little like chashing in on the previous game. but this is not a bad game. COOP is actually better, techwise its a better game than FC5, but no real surprises just minor improvement. Story is ok. If you like the franchise and have a friend to play with this is good stuff.

    This is nice shooter when you buy it on discount. Better than Far Cry 5 DLCs. But still this is also like DLC.

    Keep in mind I'm rating this based on paying 12 dollars for it as it's on sale on the psn network. That being said it is just as enjoyable as far cry 5 . Yes the map is the same but it's not a deal breaker. The most annoying part of the game is the horrible music.

    I don’t understand why people are hating on this game. Because the map was reused? So what? This game is better than Farcry 5 was. It’s harder to begin with,packed with rpg elements. Crafting is far superior than any of the previous games. Treasure hunts are awesome,driving feels much better.

Treasure hunts are awesome,driving feels much better. There are legendary guns,legendary animals,the enemy has ranks with much more defined health bars so you know what kind of damage your guns do on different rank enemies. Music is awesome,really gets you in the mood. Again,far superior to Farcry 5. Looting system is also more thought out since you need materials to craft weapons so you will go into buildings to discover because it will be worth it to find a gear for your next shotgun etc.. im playing on hard-ass mode and purposely didn’t get the binocular perk to make the game more challenging. Played about 6 hours without ever touching a story mission. Bottom line is,this game is the best in the series since Farcry 3. I guess people just looking for stuff to complain about these days. Already complaining about Farcry 6 before its even released because they can i guess..… Expand

    Лучшая игра со времён 3-ей части! Создана на основе 5-ой части и как её продолжение. Игра довольно короткая: сюжетную часть можно пройти часов за 8. Но при этом она довольно интенсивная в эмоциональном и развлекательном плане, не успевает наскучить. При этом игра и стоила изначально не фуллпрайсно, а около 2-ух тысяч ( при цене на тот момент новой игры в 4500). За эти деньги это топчик. ИзЛучшая игра со времён 3-ей части! Создана на основе 5-ой части и как её продолжение. Игра довольно короткая: сюжетную часть можно пройти часов за 8. Но при этом она довольно интенсивная в эмоциональном и развлекательном плане, не успевает наскучить. При этом игра и стоила изначально не фуллпрайсно, а около 2-ух тысяч ( при цене на тот момент новой игры в 4500). За эти деньги это топчик. Из ярких нововведений - оружие пиломёт. Из названия ясно чем выстреливает, при этом рикошетит до 3-х целей с одного выстрела. Это оружие позволяет легко и весело поражать несколько противников, не парясь с прицеливанием, при этом его урон не отличается при попадании в голову или другую часть тела, что особенно удобно при игре на геймпаде. Короче, Юбисофт явно постарались, чтобы люди могли расслабиться и получать удовольствие от этого шутана на любой платформе. По сюжету могу сказать, что изначально негативно относился к сестричкам, но сценаристам получилось их неплохо раскрыть и я даже немного проникся к ним. Не было перебора с наркоманий, как в прошлой части, где через музыку околдовывали главного героя, невероятно глупыми способами пленяли и делали всякие нечисти, чтобы дать возможность показать пару катсцен с очередным братом или сестрой злодейкой, дабы раскрыть перед тем как мы их уничтожим. В Новом Рассвете мы играем в постапокалиптическом мире, где уже многое возможно. К сюжету сложно придраться, мол "НУ ЭТО ЖЕ НЕВЕРОЯТНО". Сетинг решает! Отличный сюжетный твист с главным злодеем и главным героем 5-ой части. Да, даже протагониста 5-ой части мы сможем встретить в new dawn, но поймут это лишь внимательные. :) В целом за счёт отсылок, твистов и проработанности сюжет получился, не побоюсь этого слова, отличным! Я даже не помню, использовал ли я вообще когда либо этого слово относительно сюжета игр от юбисофт... сомневаюсь. Конечно, игра не обошлась без пары багов, у меня например так и не получилось производить скрытые мультиубийства, при этом я играл в начале 2021, непосредственно перед выходом уже 6-ой части. Итог такой: рекомендую к прохождению, предварительно ознакомившись с 5-ой частью.

    I have just purchased this game and I have not played FarCry 5 for at least 6 months. It is refreshing and I like that you continue the story. It has all of the noraml challenges that you find in FarCry. I understand that if you just finish 5 and then start this, it would be repetitive.

    As long as you understand what you're getting here, it's a fine game. A lot of negative reviews here from people that probably never played it. It's sort of like a piece of Far Cry 5. It was fun, graphics looked good, and the bow is overpowered just like in the past. If you like Far Cry it's worth a try. I picked it up at a heavy discount on sale.

    It's more like a 7-8 great fun hope they carry on with some of the new mechanics and post nuclear theme. I rated 10 though to try and ballence out some of the people who review boomed it. No way is it a 0, if it was awarded a 4-6 I would say fair play because people like different things but 0 implies it's broken which it isnt

    This is a fantastic game that compliments Far Cry 5 perfectly. Love how it continues the story from Far Cry 5 17 years later and so it is on a very similar map.

    Todo esse processo pra deixar o game mais enxuto acabou por consequência reduzir a duração do mesmo, eu por exemplo platinei ele em 20 horas, eu prefiro um game curto e direto ao ponto do que um longo que só é longo por ter o mapa cheio de coisa repetitiva e genérica para fazer, como é o caso do game Mad Max e Far Cry 5, que o mapa é poluído de coisa chata pra fazer só pra ocupar o jogador, e ao contrário de games como Witcher 3 e Zelda Breath of the Wild que as coisas do mapa ficaram de forma naturais pra se fazer, muito bem implementadas.

    A história desse Far Cry é continuação direta do 5, e está no mesmo nível dos outros da franquia, bem ok pra fraca, o melhorzinho até agora é a do 3, mas até o 3 a história não é lá grandes coisas, o foco do Far Cry sempre vai ser a jogabilidade, que por sinal já esta bem saturada por ser mais do mesmo, mas até que os elementos de RPG incluídos no New Dawn e a ambientação do game até que deu um pouquinho mais de fôlego para o game.    … Expand

    This game is awesome. If the boss fights were better it would be a solid 10/10 from me. I understand the complaints that it was similar to Far Cry 5 and overpriced but I never played Far Cry 5 and I got the game cheap so that doesn't affect my rating.

    A pleasant experience with a quite interesting atmosphere. I played it before far cry 5, so I have no comparison to its predecessor. The worst element is the antagonist, two sisters who appear quite rarely and are not very expressive. overall, I really liked the game, its atmosphere and mechanics

    I haven't gotten very far yet, but from what i have played it's really enjoyable. Especially if you liked Far Cry 5. Sure it's almost a straight copy, but there's new gameplay features that help make it it's own game. It's a nice familiar setting that'll be good to grind and go for trophies until Far Cry 6.

    I simply loved Far Cry 5, the story, gameplay, arcade maps, them all. This New Dawn gives you whole lot of intriguing exploring and gaming, and while not an actual new game, it is way more than some DLC, as many reviewers have complained. The Twins are really boring baddies, but fortunately you only need to see them a few times. Otherwise story and side missions are cool enough.

    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.
