    Far Cry 5 is a relentlessly fun, aggressively varied open world shooter that will keep you hooked for dozens and dozens of hours. The game's world has never felt more alive, brimming with animal ecosystems, serene lakes, and verdant forests, with spectacular scenery just begging to be screenshotted.

    It takes the Far Cry blueprint and expands the highlights while changing the sliders on aspects that became overused to craft not only the best Far Cry game, but one of the best open worlds to explore this generation, whether alone or with a little help from a friend (or AI dog).

    Far Cry 5 is a bloody laugh. It doesn’t take itself too seriously – but then the series never has. If you’re a fan of the previous games then this is a must buy for your collection; it is bright, noisy and frantic and I wouldn’t have it another way.

    Far Cry 5 offers a breathtaking adventure with solid shooting action, a living and appealing world to explore and a convincing bad guy. The addition of co-op is great and Far Cry Arcade makes this a package that every shooter fan must play.

    The biggest take away from Far Cry 5 was the fact that it was just pure fun. The missions were both fun and entertaining, the visuals are fantastic, and the shooting is refined and on point. Fans of the series have more than likely already picked this up, but if you remotely enjoy first person shooters, this is a must own. It’s not perfect, but it tries its best to be and you know what? It got close.

    This fresh take on the Far Cry franchise is clearly visible content-wise, but a tad more discrete on the style. If you're not bothered by the slightly repetitive formula, you'll enjoy the many strengths of this episode.

    Far Cry 5's story is a real let-down, but the action still makes for a solid co-op experience.

    By far the best Far Cry game they've made. On the Xbox One X this game looks absolutely stunning.

    I personaggi sono scritti divinamente ma i dialoghi un po'meno. Il gioco dura molto soprattutto se si completano le missioni secondarie

It was a nice area to explore and there were interesting people in the towns, even if the enemies weren't really that interesting. One of the bosses has a very unique personality so that was fun, and one thing that's great about the Far Cry games is that you really feel like you are making a difference - When you do something in the game, the setting changes to reflect that.… Expand

    I found Far Cry 5 a step down from the previous game. Though I enjoy the stealth more then FPS so that may be why.

    Pros: - The beginning    I found Far Cry 5 a step down from the previous game. Though I enjoy the stealth more then FPS so that may be why.

    Pros:
    - The beginning segment was awesome and the ending missions were great
    - I liked the skill points tied to challenges forcing you to use a variety of weapons
    - Found the story well done

    Cons:
    - With companions it pretty much wrecked stealth for me which is the best part of Far Cry usually. Yes you don't have to use them but you know it also feels like you do.
    - So you get used to playing with companions but then in the final mission or other important missions you can't use them - why do devs teach you to play one way until the end?
    - Everytime you go pick up a weapon or loot they are basically right over each other - I rarely wanted to change weapons it was frustrating.
    - Had some frustrating slow downs and a mission I couldn't quit (Shooting Gallery) and took me forever to kill some dumb birds    … Expand
