Visually stunning; Mechanically tight and satisfying; Play however you want

Story is a letdown; Some odd AI quirks; It never shuts up

Liberating an entire county from the stranglehold of a crazed religious cult is no mean feat. It's the mammoth task laid before gamers for Ubisoft's latest offering, Far Cry 5 , as they try to take on John 'The Father' Seed and The Project at Eden's Gate in the fictional location of Hope County,...

Beautiful landscapes; A great protagonist; Accurate weapons gameplay

Mission scheme predictable at times

I come into Far Cry 5 with a bit of skepticism. I've somewhat enjoyed the series, but I've only beaten Far Cry 3 and Primal. The rest I've tasted: played for a while, but never really committed to. I'm not fully onboard this franchise.

They should have left well enough alone... I had very high expectations for this game and within the first 20 minutes of game play, I realized I should have saved my money and bought a different game. The open world concept is amazing, which is what the 1 star is for.

Over the past few installements, Far Cry has carved out a unique identity for itself (Let's forget Primal for a second). The series has tried, and mostly succeeded to push an evocative narrative by introducing us to some of the most psychopathic villains in games.

This is the best Far Cry I have played! I really like how it is based in the American wilderness of Montana I feel like that is a great setting. So far I am also loving the story. Because of it being about a cult it gives off a disturbing feeling! I recommend this game to everyone!

Far Cry 5 is precisely what it says on the tin – It's a Far Cry game through and through, and if you weren't a fan before then this isn't going to be the title to make you change your mind.

Far Cry 5 brings its open-world shooter formula closer to home for many players. The resistance meter and intel systems are cleverly implemented and help guide players throughout the large open world of Hope County.

So I'm screaming down the highway in a purple Semi with Heart's Barracuda blasting over the radio. Gorgeous Montana scenery is whipping past, and there's a massive machine gun strapped to the truck.

Great story and zany characters; Enticing environment; Cheeseburger the bear

More-of-the-same structure; Thin weapon selection

Far Cry 5 is bonkers. It's a game that lives and dies on its insanity through moment to moment gameplay, and is an excellent evolution of what has become one of the most popular game franchises in recent memory.
