    I don't get what people are complaining about, the game looks good, it's a lot of fun, love the dialog, Giancarlo Esposito is great. It's far cry...if you want a different game, buy a different game, but as a far cry game it's great

    Das war wieder ein geiler, wilder Ritt. Einfach Kopf frei kriegen, drauf los ballern oder stealthen. Hatte wieder meinen Spaß damit. Die Special und abstrusen Waffen habe ich so gut wie nie genutzt. Als Tier nur den Hund. Und halt so Standard-Waffen. Karabiner, Sniper und Pistole. So hab ich mir selbst ein nicht zu übertriebenes Spiel geschaffen.

    “Ubisoft” has become the generic term for any open world game with generic gameplay. Far Cry 6 is a very Ubisoft game, and I could care less about it.

    All the elements of modern gaming are there: on-line connection for some reason; annoyed; dialogue between mission because game developers hate giving players a moment of silence, mission givers, map icons, and all the usual guns and    “Ubisoft” has become the generic term for any open world game with generic gameplay. Far Cry 6 is a very Ubisoft game, and I could care less about it.

    All the elements of modern gaming are there: on-line connection for some reason; annoyed; dialogue between mission because game developers hate giving players a moment of silence, mission givers, map icons, and all the usual guns and vehicles. Far Cry 6 also continues the trend of colorful gaming by splattering everything with red paint for the bad guys and blue paint for the hood guys. Every system, down to the crafting menu, has the most basic, generic look and feel. Polished? Yes, but then that polish is cut and pasted across the entire game world. The gameplay feels exactly like the last Far Cry I played, which was Far Cry 4. Gun don’t really feel good. Driving doesn’t really feel good. And hiring enemies with a machete feels terrible. You charge to cut them in half, and they effortlessly knock you down. The only new game element is the “Supremo”, a backpack rocket launcher. This serves as the ultimate ability you see in many other games like Destiny and Overwatch. Everything does work, and I’m this age of busted releases, I give Ubisoft credit for not making a broken game.

    What makes these kind of generic open world games special is the open world. Give the player an interesting challenge and they will do it. Give the player a lot of cookie cutter based, and they will become bored and stop playing. That’s what happened with me. I could see the entire arc of the game after the first few mission. Doesn’t help that this game is so much like Just Cause 2, and Just Cause 2 made the revolution more fun.

    All in all, I think Ubisoft needs a change in leadership. As an organization, they just don’t have the taste or desire to make anything memorable. As far as I am concerned, they could give their games away. Indeed, I played Far Cry 6 over a free to play weekend. Despite every monetary reason to play this to the end, I couldn’t do it. Almost anything is more fun than Far Cry 6. I also couldn’t get past the first mission in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and I downloaded that via PlayStation Plus Extra. I probably won’t touch another Ubisoft game for the foreseeable future.    … 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.

It's not a boring game and the story isn't boring but it just feels outdated and there isn't anything new to the gameplay. 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. The trailer showed us so much potential.    … Expand

    Ok, I'm giving this game a 10. It is one of the best Far Cry I've played since the third installment.
    I don't understand users' low scores, and I don't think it's justified. I've played 80 hours and I'd say, I've opened only 55% of the map and I still have that urge of continuing the game. It is that good.

    1 - The graphics. They are great, detailed, crisp and the game plays at 60 fps which is a big game-changer.

    2 - Gameplay. Much better than the previous games. There are hundreds of missions to do and they are all fun. Yes, we have to slowly take over the map but the missions are varied and they are fun to play.

    3 - Story: I haven't beaten the game yet, however, the story up until now is entertaining and the villain is well played by a famous actor. I like the story and it is keeping me engaged.

    4 - The map is huge. I'd say it's one of the larger maps ever in a Far Cry game and there are several ways to navigate the map. Won't spoil them for you. There are dozens of unlockables and vehicles to discover. Dozens of weapons as well (more than any previous Far Cry game)

    Conclusion: This is a great Far Cry game and I want to encourage the developer by giving them a score of 10. They deserve it. They polished the game, put a lot of effort to diversify the missions, and kudos for that.    … Expand

    Arguably the best Far Cry to date. Best setting and villain the series has seen since FC3 and amazing gameplay overall. Some minor bugs at launch, but nothing a couple of patches won’t fix.

    The same game that we see every year. Story is quite forgettable, missions are more or less all the same with the same old recipee. Main character is dull and boring. The game is not bad, but also it is nothing fascinating or inovative. Only two good things are Giancarlo Esposito and haptic feedback feeling when shooting. Everything else is ''meh''.

    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.

    Dear Ubisoft, could you please fix the screen tearing issue on PS5? Also the annoying lagging cutscene. The gameplay experience is 7/10 but has too much of graphics glitches. Especially I can't withstand the screen tearing on PS5, it makes the graphics looks horrible.

Minor differences here like weapon types, mods, unlocks, and gear types/bonuses. And yes, just like all those other fantastic gameplay loops, UbiSoft is keeping its same, successful nuclear core. People hating on this game and giving it a zero because it's another FC game or they have glitching/bugs on their potato rigs, don't let them stop you. I have encountered zero bugs/glitches other than two minor sound issues and I play on Ultra settings with everything turned up. Some things they could have done a little better - the Machete kills seem a little too outrageous, they could have tuned that down. Also when you sell items, we don't need it count "3 pesos" at a time, when you sell 100-200 worth of pesos, you get a lot of UI counters, that felt tedious. Also, let us choose X to sell instead of "all" or one at a time. Lastly, the AI. Look, this game is "beer & pizza," it's not a AI masterclass and the franchise never was, the enemies generally follow a noise, and you will do a lot rip & run; things turn into a madhouse. If you've always enjoyed that, you'll enjoy this on a huge map scale. If you like co-op with your buddy as the gunner and you're just having a laugh tearing up the countryside, you'll enjoy this. It's a rock n' roll romphouse, not a symphony. If you want an amazing literary story, go read a book that won a Pulitzer -- this is a video game where you have a jet pack, hello. Enjoy.… Expand

No innovation and no creativity at all. Just copy and paste. The story itself is lackluster and if you pay enough attention you can see the "woke" agenda pushed in this game in almost every corner. It didn't bother me much though personally since I had zero interest in any characters in this game besides the main villain and his son. If you want a mediocre brainless shooter with a good cast for the main villain (yet not a great script) then yeah you can buy this game on sale. If you want a quality AAA game please don't buy this.

    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.
