    If you liked Far Cry V, you will love New Dawn. It has great antagonists and the gameplay, graphics, world and soundtrack are beautiful. Overall rating: 7.5

    Desde este juego empecé a ignorar a la saga Far Cry debido a lo poco novedoso que es, me aburre y ya está, no lo recomiendo excepto que esté a 10 euros

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Feels more like an expansion than a full game but the world is interesting enough and is still a solid far cry game and map.

    Game is very short all things considered and feels a little rushed with the story

    Not fun especially when you have to grind in boring repetitive missions. Ended up stopping near the end and watched what happened on YouTube. First Far Cry game where I have done that. Stay clear of this one.

    It isn’t as good as Far Cry 5, but the story did get better as it went on. At first the story was slow and kind of not fun. The crafting wasn’t the best update to the series so far, it didn’t bring and fun. The story ended great, and it was fun having animals and cars that were powerful and special to this one game.

    All in all, it's a fun co-op action.

    Agora a Ubisoft procura destruir sua melhor franquia, Far Cry está se transformando num jogo de tiro genérico em primeira pessoa com mundo aberto contendo os mesmos objetivos a cada jogo que passa, pura decadência, se alguém se interessou, compre "Far Cry 4'' que é melhor.

    After playing just after Far Cry 5, this immediacy felt like a downgrade. The world feels flat and less alive than 5 whilst also looking considerably less attractive. Whilst the new weapon ranking system wasn’t too bad and added an extra bit of depth to the gameplay, you could also say that it took some of the skill out of the game as you are generally only as good as your gun.

    Terrible. Worst Far Cry, period. Highway "Men" are a complete joke as are the lame sisters who control them. Everything feels completely contrived and unnecessary. Stupid weapons and dumber atmosphere in this game. Everything recycled and contrived. When they eventually sell it with all the lame DLC for cheap - don't walk, run!

    This was my first Far Cry experience and boy it's trash - but fun! Let's start with the bad and silly:
    NPC randomness lead to lots of innocent bystanders dying in totally silly ways (one just stepped accidentally into her own camp fire and died, while her friend continued playing the guitar!!).
    Enemy reactions make Halo:CE (2001) look next-gen ("oh, my friend died over there, let's    This was my first Far Cry experience and boy it's trash - but fun! Let's start with the bad and silly:

    Enemy reactions make Halo:CE (2001) look next-gen ("oh, my friend died over there, let's launch some MORTARS in that general direction-which happens to be part of my own base"").
    Boss fights are tiring.
    The main story is so badly written that ever cutscene feels like a chore. There's no reasonable motivation for what ANY one except some of the main allies are doing.
    Last with the negatives, this is a first person shooter on Xbox One X at 30fps without per-object motion blur just gets you dizzy. It ends up relying in copious amounts of aim adhesion.
    At the good side: the NPC allies are super fun, the systems progression interesting and rewarding, and the map is just tight enough to let you explore without getting you tired. The various treasure hunts are among the best parts of the game, feeling nicely hand-crafted in a game that's otherwise a bunch of systems loosely put together.
    What saves the game from being only a trashy guilty pleasure is the addition of co-op, which brings fun to the end-game grind.
    At the end of the game, I have to admit that I had more fun than in some other critically acclaimed titles (ahem Wolfenstein, ahem Metro), but I cannot see why I would want to play the other 6 Far Cries out there, even if they have better story.    … Expand

    Après un petit farmage des familles bien sûr au sujet duquel on pouvait s'inquiéter un peu, après Farmer Origins et surtout Grind Odyssey, car les ennemis ont jusqu'à trois niveaux, plus un niveau élite sous certaines conditions... et c'est pareil pour les flingues qu'on peut "fabriquer". Mais rien d'inquiétant en définitive, il suffit de ramasser tout ce qu'on trouve au fur et à mesure (comme dans un Fallout 4 par exemple), de nettoyer tout ce qui se présente, libérer les honnêtes gens, exécuter les mécréants comme dans les Far Cry habituels Ubisoft depuis le 3.

    Les avant-postes qu'on peut justement libérer jusqu'à trois fois (pour plus d'éthanol) et qui sont de mieux en mieux protégés constituent un défi très amusant ; par contre les "expéditions" qui consistent à ramener un colis alors que tous les bâtards vous courent après, ça c'est pas amusant du tout. Et tout-à-fait optionnel heureusement !

    La "campagne" principale (on ne va pas parler d'histoire, Far Cry et "histoire" ça va pas ensemble) est plutôt bien fichue et notablement moins désagréable que dans le Far Cry 5 (personne ne va vous enlever pour un parcours chronométré à la con) et le monde évidemment ouvert qui reprend une partie de la carte -immense- de FC5 est très bien fait et bien ré-arrangé... bizzarement cela dit, le post-apo se signale surtout par des tas de petites fleurs roses (?!) et des bagnoles plantées droit dans le sol (?) comme des choux.

    On a de nouveaux "compagnons" et certains sont très réussis (la vioque, Ramba et le cochon entre autres) mais aussi toujours ce sale con de Hurk, ce goret attardé qu'on ne voudrait plus revoir en fait. L'interface a été un peu modifiée et s'avère très efficace (ou presque : si seulement le jeu marquait une pause quand on change de flingue...) et la jouabilité identique à FC5 demeure un régal, entre infiltration et bourrinage effréné, au choix.

    Pour le reste en vrac, une IA réactive, une très bonne VF, d'excellents effets sonores et des graphismes (en 4K30 sur la X) magnifiques ; en outre ça charge vite (17 secondes seulement avec un SSD !). A part les ressouces à ramasser, le collectathon est réduit au minimum syndical et on ne manque jamais de rien. Un souci néanmoins pour fabriquer les armes "élite" qui réclament trop de ressouces mais on peut améliorer celles de niveau 3 plus facilement pour un résultat identique, voire supérieur.

    Bien plaisant ce Far Cry donc et globalement mieux que le 5 (personne ne vous enlève...). Il s'y passe toujours quelque chose et on a toujours quelque chose à faire... ramasser, pêcher, chasser et flinguer la vermine, fabriquer des flingues et des explosifs, explorer les caches... La progression (comme dans le 5) incite à se deversifier dans le massacre et c'est un bon point.

    ça reste bête dans son "scénario" et souvent maladroit dans ses dialogues (si mal écrits mon dieu !) mais franchement on s'amuse bien et c'est tout ce qui compte.    … Expand

    Based in the same area as far cry 5 after the bombs drop, it's a totaly new game not just a dlc as some monkeys would have you believe. The main map is totaly different albeit smaller but there are new missions in different smaller maps. It's harder than it's predecessor which is always welcome

    As a 20 dollar game, this is a very big surprise for me. An epilogue to Far Cry 5, that has many mechanics better than its AAA game cousin. This B game, is cleaner, more linear, and some of the AI, shooting and fort design appear improved. I liked it better than FC5, no meaderings, psychedlic trippy parts, or uneven style junctures.

    I must admit that I find it easy to recommend Far Cry: New Dawn, especially to folks who happen to be fans of the series like I am. While it’s certainly not the best game in the franchise, or even the second or third best, it’s a very solid affair, and one that offers good value for its price tag. You’ll get a lot out of this game, including fun, a good challenge, lots of side content and some very dangerous and difficult beasts to hunt. If you’ve never been a fan of the series, then Far Cry: New Dawn won’t win you over. However, if you’ve ever enjoyed one of these games, or happen to really enjoy this type of experience, it’s well worth picking up.
