It's good to see them refine their mechanics and worlds with each new project. I thought Yara was maybe the most immersive yet. The "outposts" are all organic and unique, they fit in with the story and the setting. Every single region, neighborhood, bar on the beach, downtown alley, abandoned farm has a considered aspect to it, a tiny little story to tell. The people who laid out this world are real professionals who took the time to max out the richness of it all.

    Mechanically, the series tops itself each time with the level of skill and refinement. The shooting, the upgrades, the swapping, the gadgets, the always excellent platforming, the vehicles, they all work perfectly and better than they ever have

    I will definitely say that the characters are pretty cheesy. I rolled my eyes a LOT with the tropey guerilla dialogue. Dani is kind of a jock-type and the humor didn't really hit. But I totally bought Castillo and the reasoning behind all his operations, which made the missions to disrupt them totally buyable and easy to get behind as far as I'm concerned. Even the goofy missions like the concert were sort of allowed to make sense within the parameters the story sets up. It's that classic Far Cry gumbo of traumatic war crimes happening all around while overindulgent cartoon character personalities team up to take back the map. I think when you compare the classiness of this game (my opinion) to the wackiness of 5, it does in fact feel like a step forward, even if it might not be obvious (and given the large shoes it has to fill).

    I would say that overall this is a great game, a great Far Cry game, and a good example of professional reliability. Not to date this review, but after checking out redfall and then coming back to this, it was obvious: THIS is how you make an open world shooter. I consider Far Cry 6 to be a high mark for the series and the overwhelming hate for it absolutely boggles my mind.    … Expand

    More of the same and that is a good thing! Far Cry 6 reminds me of Far Cry 3 in many ways. People buy Far Cry for more of the same in these incredible Far Cry worlds with their amazing villains! Great game!

    I started playing this game a month ago, my first Far Cry game. I read lots of negative reviews here and was cautious, but after more than 150 hours of playing it, I can say with 100% certainty that I love it.

    The Latin American Spanish audio track from this game is one of the best, if not the best, I have seen in any other game I have played until now. The jokes, music, and dialects are all just perfect. I usually play my games in English, but God, how glad I was to have changed the language to Latin American Spanish. If you, like me, come from the region, please use the language in-game, you will not regret it. The dialogue is just so funny and engaging!

    The missions can become a bit repetitive after a while, but the history always gets you entertained. I am still not finished with the core game, but I will surely get the expansions when I end the main campaign.    … Expand

    A great open world game not worth 60$ but with the discount and free to play weekend is totally worth it.
    I played it. It was great. Story is 8.5/10. Characters are great. Mechanics are great. Some of the bugs has been fixed and I am sure lighting on far cry 6 is 10/10.
    Hopefully the game becomes famous again and bring the old features back.

    This game is one of the best open world series.
    Character design is nice. Story is great. And the vanishing event is absolutely amazing. I enjoyed the game and with the new update some new features came in the game. There are some bugs which slows the gameplay and I hope in the next update they bring back some old features.

I’m several hours in and I still find myself learning new things, gaining new weapons, just exploring and I’m having a great time. The world overall is very appealing, looks great with a lot to do. The story is OK. Nothing in-depth, not the narrative of the year, and is what you’d expect from a game that has ridiculous guns and mods for each. Now the acting is great, yes, the went all out on Giancarlo, but, he definitely didn’t phone it in. He has an overlooming presence in the world, and when you encounter a cut scene with him everything stops and you’re entranced. You can tell he has his foot down on this world squashing it with each turn taken. Again, Giancarlo didn’t blow this performance off and they got their money’s worth. The audio is great, engaging mix of pop songs, original scores and typical gun explosions and folley. Controls are ok; I’ve never been one to enjoy cursors on a controller setup that you know were designed for a mouse. I wish there was an easier way to switch weapons. Again it’s ok but it definitely shows the controls were designed for PC users. Lastly the accessibility options are fantastic. I personally don’t need them outside of occasional use of captions but the fact there are this many options for players who do need them is admirable. Overall, this is a great game and a good time. It’s easy to play for a few minutes or play for hours. It’s immersive, well crafted, offers fun multiplayer and well worth the price. If it’s your first Far Cry game you’ll love it; if it’s not then maybe you won’t and if you didn’t understand some of the bigger words I used chances are you just need to stick to COD. Good game and good luck.… Expand

    Far Cry 6 is a pleasant and unexpected surprise in Ubisoft's portfolio. A beautiful world, good music, an appropriate visual design, varied characters and a story that sometimes manages to shock made it a very good experience. Graphic wise it is also a giant leap forward with nice character models, good facials animations and sharp world on the next gen consoles.

    The major aspect that    Far Cry 6 is a pleasant and unexpected surprise in Ubisoft's portfolio. A beautiful world, good music, an appropriate visual design, varied characters and a story that sometimes manages to shock made it a very good experience. Graphic wise it is also a giant leap forward with nice character models, good facials animations and sharp world on the next gen consoles.

    The major aspect that would make the game better is a little more variety in the mission design. Because of the varied characters, the story didn't feel too long this time, but in my opinion there were just a little too many missions that resembled each other per mission area. The villan, Anton Castillo, was strong in acting, but his script was a bit repetitive. He also was quite 'absent' in this great adventure. Still, the course of the story and the actions of both Anton and Dani felt appropriate within the context. The story also shocks at the right moments and it is just a bit more daring than the average Ubisoft story in my opinion.

    The best choice for this series was to give the main character a voice and face. It makes the action and story so much more dynamic than before. Dani even sings along with the songs over the radio. It really shapes the character.

    In short, this Far Cry is not perfect but the best so far.

    Pros:
    - A face and voice for the main character
    - The world of Yara
    - Story characters
    - Graphics
    - Mission briefings menu with high quality character models
    - Music
    - Option to turn off amigos for a more ‘serious’ playstyle
    - Special Operations is a fun mode for after the story

    Cons:
    - Mission variety
    - Not many character models for Anton Castillo’s amry
    - Screen tearing can be an issue sometimes    … Expand

    It is true that FC6 has some shortcomings such as bugs and an obsolete AI that take it away from excellence, however it is huge, fun and addictive. For me it's an 8.5 or 9 game, but to do some justice in the face of silly ratings that give it a 0, I give it 10. If you are hesitating to acquire it, do it!!! You won't be disappointed.

    I was sceptical about this game however after a few hours I can confirm this game is excellent and doesn't deserve all the bad reviews. The atmosphere (music and scenery) is awesome, the gunfights are nice as the weapon creativity, and AI isn't as bad as some people stated. I didn't like far cry 4 & 5 but this one is the perfect gateway after office work.

    The latest entry in the Far Cry series brought many little joys, great performance by Giancarlo Esposito and beautiful tropical environments. Alas, it is annoying and disappointing in too many aspects. The story should have been approached more seriously, Yara is not a believable world and some of its areas are empty, while the gameplay suffers from copy-pasted assets and bugs that shouldn’t pollute a game from such an experienced developer. Overall, Far Cry 6 is a letdown. [12/2021, p.26]

    This feels like a far more honest take on what Far Cry is to most people: a joyful, chaotic toybox. There’s room for improvement – the questionable Latin American representation, for a start – but there’s no doubt this is something of an awakening for the series, exploring ideas I’m excited to see refined in iterations to come. In particular, doing away with the cumbersome pretence of political salvation leaves you free to pick and choose your own adventure, whether that’s toppling Castillo or just being crowned Gran Primo champion. Like Yara, Far Cry 6 is brimming with potential – you just have to step up and shape it.
