    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.

    What can I say? I’m just a sucker for the big maps, checklists, and pretty islands of Far Cry. I had a blast taking down yet another dictator and his army of warriors. I also get why, for so many, this formula has started to wear thin, and why they are tired of repeating history over and over. Perhaps I’m just out of my mind, damned to keep playing Far Cry games for the rest of my life. As someone once said, “Insanity is doing the exact...same fucking thing...over and over again.”

    Let's be clear from the get-go: Far Cry 6 does not intend to renew its famous recipe. However, it does offer a convincing experience relying on elements that worked well in the previous episodes while bringing in some welcome new features. The biggest one is undoubtedly the arrival of 3rd person cinematics in which our character is no longer mute. Far Cry 6 offers a well-written storyline that will keep us on the edge of our seats for about twenty hours. It also depicts the magnificent island of Yara with a Latin soundtrack that will have no trouble making us travel around the globe. There are few changes to the gameplay itself, but we did notice the disappearance of the skill tree in favour of scavenging for pieces of equipment, each with its own abilities. Far Cry 6 thus slowly goes on with its light RPG approach initiated with the New Dawn episode. You can complain about the AI of the enemies, which is still limited, but the pleasure felt when playing the game is enough to get past it. Far Cry 6 is certainly one of the best chapters since the third one that was ever so appreciated by the fans.
