After playing for hours I began to see they watered down the sense of progression with your character. You do craft things, but it is via recipes you already have in some big drop down list. I was expecting a very inventive, improvised, and clever use of weapon crafting with what was improvised but yet you magically make weapons out of depleted uranium that offer up a different twist in how you can fight enemies. Yet, it feels tacked onto the game since you could technically ignore the Resolver (various versions of hand weapons that do unique things like spray enemies with chemicals or shoot nails), and the Supremo (a backpack that fire rocket, emits an EMP, and more) systems added and still play like you did the other Far Cry games.

    The story while interesting as well seems to divide the game into three sections of the map each with their own potential allies you need to work with to eventually earn their allegiance to join your cause. While the characters are fun and their stories interesting it feels disjointed and doesn't seem to come together well enough. For me currently it feels more like a chore to do these three areas than an enjoyable experience that could have perhaps been better interwoven into the overall story better.

    In the end if you want more raiding of forts via whatever machinations you wish to employ, fishing, hunting, and seeking out hidden treasures via simple environment puzzles you'll like the game. But if you were expecting something revolutionary... well this isn't it oddly enough.    … Expand

    A few hours in.

    There isn't much to the gameplay. It's the same as the others. It's a fun sandbox game that could feel like you're playing Far Cry 5 and 4. The story for the game doesn't feel very strong at the moment. The graphics do feel kind of outdated. It doesn't really look like a next-gen but the fps make it feel kind of next-gen.

If you're new to the series and want a cool sandbox game then check this one out. If you're a fan of FarCry and are expected to be blown away but this one, well it sucks because it won't happen.

    Far Cry 6 is a 20 hour ffirst person shooter where you play as either male or female version of Dani Rojas because ubisoft cant commit to a story.. and this is ultimately Far Cry 6’s downfall, at first I was in love with Far Cry 6, having a Far Cry 3 feel.. the beginning island was so detailed and memorable, Iwas having a blas doing the beginning missions, and    Far Cry 6
    Pretty Soulless
    Far Cry 6 is a 20 hour ffirst person shooter where you play as either male or female version of Dani Rojas because ubisoft cant commit to a story.. and this is ultimately Far Cry 6’s downfall, at first I was in love with Far Cry 6, having a Far Cry 3 feel.. the beginning island was so detailed and memorable, Iwas having a blas doing the beginning missions, and then the game opened up about 3 hours or so in and wow did it feel like the soul left the body of this game.. here your goal is to take down el president Anton Castillo, and much like the previous far cry game, to get to him you have to take down targets around him to expose him for an attack.. however unlike Far Cry 5, nothing o nyour journey to take him down stood out…
    Far Cry 6 reminding me a lot of Just cause 3, in that while youre in this massive world, everything felt pretty cookie cutter generic.. and unlike just cause 3 the weapons weren’t crazy enough to keep fully entertained and there weren’t great story pieces pulling me through… just the same stuff over and over again, get to the spot on the map, deal with checkpoint along the way, take them over for future fast travl points, get back to the mission, kill all the people there.. thankfully youll unlock pets such as a crocodile or puppy to help along the way to attack and distract, but kill all the nemies, or find a key card so you can enter a building to throw a switch, or kill al the enemies and hack a computer which is just you guarding It while a percentage meter fills, over and over and over.. again no great story piece or story telling within the actual campaign except maybe couple of times.. really exposing the games bloat, I felt like I was doing side missions through most of the campaign.. I know box numbers are imorptant to people spending 60 to 70 dollars on a game, I get that.. but I would prefer and epic 12 hours over a mediocre repetitive 20.. I would even be fine having to level up to unlock those story missions and feel an urge to liberate the island and find weapons, if the grind didn’t feel obnoxious and get in the way of my play… maybe I have to capture a certain amount of enemy bases… if that means I get some story missions with some effort rather than feel like an algorithm developed the game.. Ill take it…
    Overall Far Cry 6 had its moments that made me laugh or moments of me actually having fun, but for the most part I felt lke I was just going through the motions of a soulless shooter, chasing credits rather than chasing the next epic event around the next corner..
    Far Cry 6 is a good shooter, it is brimming with things to do and weapons to find, you can even play with friends… but wow does this game do nothing memorable.

    It's probably the best Far Cry game ever made with ton mechanics, great setting and audiovisuals.
    However franchise needs some break and reboot cause year after year the concept is still the same.
    I've had fun with it and done platinum trophy in 40 hours, game can be completed in some 20.

    I think this is the best Far Cry in the franchise. I liked Dani (woman) and the story of Anthony Castillo and his son. I liked the gameplay, and the first 20 hours were great. I got high every minute but the game eventually begins to lose its sense of novelty and there are no further challenges to the player.

    P.S I spent 65 hours in the game.

It just adds to the lackluster visual experience. Overall it’s not that bad of a game, it’s just one we’ve already played too many times. It’s also highly manufactured, with team leads and agile development coaches, board meetings and lots of bureaucratic policies that inevitably show through no matter how much funding there is. Throw money and efficiency experts at it- you know the drill. Money and success ruin games. “A Ubisoft original”.… Expand

    Après avoir fini le jeu, je ressors avec un sentiment très mitigé. Car le synopsis était à la hauteur mais Ubisoft pèche encore une fois par ses quêtes ennuyeuses. Le jeu n’est pas mauvais mais il n’est pas excellent non plus. C’est un jeu moyen qui propose par moments de belles séquences.
    Pour moi, j’ai aimé le début et la fin du jeu.

    Pros:
    You can now swap all your guns on the fly from the menu right in the middle of anything. Love it. I can just go stealth and if I got cought I go to TAB menu and set all "Rage" guns and have fun anyway.
    If you got stuck, just get a tank. Nothing stopped me after I got into that thing. Cons: Respawn must be broken, no way, enemy respaws within 20 seconds. It is sometimes impossible    Pros:

Some sidequest were pretty fun and make references to movies and other games. Treasure hunts were the most fun part of the game really enjoyed all of them wish there was more.

    -Fun Gun Play
    -Fun Mechanics
    -Some of the guns are fun to use
    -If your a platinum trophy hunting, its worth it. Has really easy achievements.
    -Boomer from Far Cry 5 is in it which is amazing.
    -Has Cockfighting Game which is really fun to play
    -There are some fun vehicles to use.

    -[Cons]-
    -Some of the animations like climbing feel janky, does not feel smooth at all.
    -You are constantly seeing the same enemy over time.
    -The parachute is very annoying, if you pull it when close to the ground, you sometimes unexpectedly die when you are suppose to live.
    -There are shading glitches I have noticed
    -I feel like when you talk to a NPC to get a mission is kind of a let down, the way it pops up a screen and you look at text, and press accept quest instead of just a simple cutscene, idk.    … Expand

    Uma das coisas que eu mais gostava nos outros jogos era essa dificuldade, você tinha que se virar, arrumar um jeito de invadir os lugares e matar os inimigos sem fazer barulho. Pra isso você pode usar arcos, facas, takedowns e outras opções. Porém nesse jogo, agora tem um sistema de munições específicas, que possuem atributos diferentes, e tem uma munição chamada "munição perfurante", que é EXTREMAMENTE apelona. A ideia seria uma munição que perfura armaduras. Porém essa munição mata qualquer inimigo se você atirar na cabeça dele. Ou seja, toda aquela magia de invadir, atirar com cautela, esconder corpos e etc, agora se transformou num jogo de sniper pra celular, daqueles bem ruins. Onde tudo que você precisa fazer é: detectar os inimigos com a câmera, destruir os alarmes, e atirar em todos eles de longe usando tua arma com silenciador e munição perfurante. Sem contar que a motivação pra completar a história é zero, você mais quer ficar zoando e fazendo missões secundárias do que, propriamente dito, matar o Antón. As missões de história são um saco, bastante repetitivas, sempre seguindo o mesmo roteiro: algum personagem com o qual você não se importa está preso em algum lugar, daí vc tem que ir lá, matar os soldados, e libertar o cara.

    Num geral, dei 7 pois amo essa franquia, a ambientação é MUITO legal, os gráficos não são de nova geração mas são muito bonitos, as side quests e colecionáveis são muito divertidos, principalmente um em que você precisa encontrar figuras espalhadas pelo cenário para abrir um baú, numa espécie de caça ao tesouro, seguindo pistas e pinturas na parede. A fauna é sensacional, tem todo tipo de animais, igualmente nos outros Far Cry.

    As armas de gambiarra são inúteis. O jogo fica o tempo todo te falando "o quão legais elas são, use elas, blablabla", mas você joga por dois segundos com elas e já volta a usar a droga do rifle com silenciador e munição perfurante, que mata qualquer inimigo em um único tiro. (quando digo qualquer inimigo, me refiro até àqueles cheios de armadura, que vc tinha que encher de flechadas nos outros Far Cry.)

    Enfim, recomendo mas que seja por um preço bom. Esperem promoções, ou pelo menos comprem a versão standard, pois jogo nenhum no mundo vale 420 reais (que eu, trouxa, paguei achando que valeria a pena ahushsusha)    … Expand

    Ubisoft's signature franchises continue to deliver on what the fans have come to expect and Far Cry 6 is no exception. A sprawling sandbox with tons to do and perfect escapism for a few hours… a few tens of hours. Fans of the series or Ubisoft's style, in general, will want to pick this one up, those who haven't ever clicked with them will find nothing new here to change their mind, with only a few changes that just do not push the boat out or move away from the formulaic. Most exciting though, is the upcoming DLC: a season pass that promises to give players a whole different experience. Stepping into the shoes of the villains of the previous games, starting with Vaas. Stay with us here at Cubed3, where we'll be covering it soon.

    The new episode of the Far Cry series really tries a lot to find new ways how to enjoy the game, and at the same time it relies on the unattainable depth that the charismatic Giancarlo Esposito was supposed to give to the game. Instead, players again receive a disparate mishmash that is increasingly moving away from both the original Far Cry idea and the Just Cause sandbox.

    If I’m being honest, my frustrations with the marketing’s focus on the worst caricatures of Latinx people made me brace myself for a racist triple-A experience full of gross clichés and awkward attempts to be apolitical. Instead, I was surprised to find that more thought than I expected was put into its depiction of Latinx people. Although it isn’t perfect — those cringeworthy lines! The grind of finding gear! — it’s better than what I initially expected, and that counts for something.
