    Far Cry 5 is hands down the best yet for the series, and may be the best Ubisoft title ever.

    Far Cry 5 is the best Far Cry to date. The great additions and refinements made to the franchise are fantastic. Along with the inclusion of Far Cry Arcade, which extends your play time, Far Cry 5 is the ultimate open-world first person shooter.

    I've always enjoyed playing Far Cry games, but Far Cry 5 is probably my favorite. It has a few flaws and some missed opportunities, but overall it takes the Far Cry formula that's worked in the past and improves upon it. If you've never really enjoyed Far Cry games in the past, then those improvements may not be enough to change your mind about the game. However, anyone who's a Far Cry fan, or anyone who has yet to experience a Far Cry game will probably really enjoy their time in Montana.

    Far Cry 5 is a massive game with tons of content and Far Cry Arcade has the potential to keep the game fresh and exciting for months to come. In the end, Far Cry 5 didn't make the most out of its rural setting and didn't innovate much on the typical Far Cry gameplay formula although it still ranks as one of the best games in the series.

    Off the beaten track, Far Cry 5 is strongly reminiscent of its predecessors. If you have no problem with ticking off small tasks in an Open World shooter, you can blow off steam with sufficient weapons, tools and vehicles. But much more was expected from the now fifth Far Cry installment.

    Neither toothless nor incendiary, Far Cry 5 does its setting justice but colours within the lines. [May 2018, p.60]

    Divorce it from its narrative and Far Cry 5‘s biggest overall problem is just how little mechanical innovation separates the game from Far Cry 4.

    I honestly loved this game, the ending is the only one that made my jaw literally drop. I'm actually replaying it for the 3rd or 4th time.

    Good game that has great gunplay and action but, like has been said in numerous other reviews here, the story gets old fast. I know what theyGood game that has great gunplay and action but, like has been said in numerous other reviews here, the story gets old fast. I know what they were trying to do with social commentary but the story just didn't connect with me. Couple this with the unbelievable nonsense that absolutely no law enforcement agency or the national guard would do anything about an insurrection of this scale is ridiculous. Lastly, the cutscenes and characters felt like they were ripped off Rockstar's reject list. The dialogue, voice acting, and even camera movements are nearly identical to any GTA game...just done poorly. Expand

    a pity because the idea of ​​fighting a religious sect saba for a lot but it has been nothing, as it is possible that in FC3 devoted more than 80 hours in the story mode, in FC4 the same but in FC5 I just wanted to finish the game and ya, ahy stays in the box to not play again until the DLC (I bought them for idiot)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lmao, this game is so bad in so many ways but I’m going to focus on the joke of an arcade mode. First off, they have a stupid picking system where only the most brain dead people in earth can write a review and they let 5 people pick; and yet while I wait in lobbies for several god awful matches I still can never pick and only the retards who pick the worst maps can. Even the ‘featured’ maps which aren’t made by Ubisoft themselves are pretty horrible and the gameplay is SOOO bad. After going through and getting into a lobby with a bunch of idiots who spam the remote explosives (like Bo2’s C4’s except Bo2 multiplayer was actually fun, than you’ll find there’s no load out customization and that you spawn with a stupid secondary rather than a primary weapon. The melee weapons are so unbalanced and there’s a Ubisoft published map that has stupid modifiers in a MULTIPLAYET game; its not a fun mode like mike Myers or something; there’s INFINITE AMMO, along with a bunch of other **** So everybody just picks the remote explosives and you don’t get any negatives for dying so people can just suicide bomb and they only get a positive. The matches last for WAYYY to long and there’s no action or fun moments; 10minutes and 100killd to win for a sluggish boring mode, with no balancing, customization, and the absolutely retarded takedown system where on the FFA wizard fetaured map you just get killed by the hacker who can takedown 5 people and sustain 12 melee hits while he 1 shots you. Not only did they make the new takedown system completely unfun and frustrating but WHY in the multiplayer. There’s no balancing, a cesspool of **** unbalanced, 1 minute to make maps that these idiots actually vote for and they just use the most unfun **** long loading ones, obnoxious player base, and horrible gameplay, they didn’t change anything from the campaign and therefore there’s no balancing and it’s all just thrown in with no thought. This game doesn’t deserve any praise and the campaign got repetitive and the ‘bunker’/bliss **** got so obnoxious and unfun. The only good thing at the beginning was some somewhat fun side missions and the ending. The arcade mode was tacked on and if you buy this game in the hopes of getting extra playtime you will be THIROUGHLY dissapointed. Game of The Year my ass Expand
