The title features actor Giancarlo Esposito (“Better Call Saul,” “The Boys,” “The Mandalorian”) as President Anton Castillo, the violent leader who grips the island of Yara with an iron fist, promising a return to its former glory. With an arsenal of weapons and allies at your back, you’ll take on Castillo’s regime and fight for the future of Yara. As Dani Rojas (playable as a female or male character), you will help stoke the fires of revolution through guerrilla warfare across the island of Yara, from verdant jungles to the urban streets of the capital city, Esperanza. You’ll use a powerful array of weapons and vehicles, and build a network of allies to fight alongside you, including Fangs for Hire like Chorizo, the dangerously distracting wiener dog. As President Castillo prepares his son Diego, played by Anthony Gonzalez (“Coco”), to succeed him, you will do all you can to ensure his plans don’t come to fruition. [Ubisoft]… Expand

    I’m still jugging through the story and exploring Yara and having a great time. It’s a good time to invest in a game like this when there aren’t too many new titles in the genre coming soon. The shortcomings are minimal and I’m sure I have a lot more to discover. Fans of Giancarlo Esposito will enjoy his inclusion, as he does a fantastic job of playing a villain you love to hate.

    As the most expansive instalment in the franchise to date, Far Cry 6 is literally the GTA V of Far Cry games, with a solid story, vibrant, engaging characters and no shortage of things to do alone or online with a friend; for FPS action-adventure fans this is a MUST BUY.

    Far Cry 6 keeps the spirit of the saga but seeks to innovate with new mechanics that try to leave behind what no longer works or tires the player.

    Although struggling to propose a convincing villain, Far Cry 6 offers a lot of gameplay innovations that make this chapter one of the most fun to play.

    Far Cry 6 is a slow burner, but once it gets going it really sinks those hooks. Fans of the series will have a blast, whether alone or through the cooperative options. Granted, the menus can sometimes over complicate things, and the cutscene stutters are annoying, but the main point to take away is that if you love open world games, especially those which provide fun, excitement and the freedom of choice, then come to Yara. It's not a huge revolution, but it's a fun one.

    Far Cry 6 immerses us in a large open world with a ton of possibilities and a great cast of characters, but it fails to make a real splash compared to previous installments in the series, while also providing a too-low challenge level to the player.

    Far Cry 6 barely hangs together on the strength of the gameplay loop it inherits from its predecessors. Beyond the addition of some fun new toys, like the “resolver” weapons and Supremo backpacks, nearly every design change is mystifyingly for the worse, and the mismatch between the gameplay and storytelling ambitions is more conspicuous than ever.

    This is just a mediocre game in all aspects. It is not really bad, but also nothing to write home about. Bullet spongy enemies with levelsThis is just a mediocre game in all aspects. It is not really bad, but also nothing to write home about. Bullet spongy enemies with levels just break immersion of shooter game and are more suitable for RPG.
    Having played all previous Far Cry games I cannot find anything to make this game memorable or distinguished in a good way from predecessors. It still playable and can be enjoyable if you have nothing better to play, but most likely you could find better alternative easily    … Expand

    Ugh, the mechanics overall were ok, although i didnt like your characters stats being dictated by the gear you're wearing.
    What did it for me    Ugh, the mechanics overall were ok, although i didnt like your characters stats being dictated by the gear you're wearing.
    What did it for me was the horrendous cast of supporting characters. So annoying to the point where it breaks your immersion in the world of Yara. This is supposed to be a revolution, the villain in all this was done perfectly, he was dark, and merciless. Like a villain should be, the good guys were a mix of characters you cant take seriously and absolute, amateur clowns. You'd score a big victory and then follow it up with a raging party on a nearby island complete with loud music, and a full on fireworks show. WTF? Who does that? And it didnt happen just once, there were whole series of missions based around setting up a big party for the rebels. I kept waiting to be ambushed by the "bad guys". Its like this game was written by 19 year old "zoomer" that hasnt seen war first hand, or even read a book or seen a movie on the topic.    … Expand

    A really solid game but I still prefer far cry 5, its ultimately brought down by all the downgrades and changes it has made to the formula.
