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

    Arguably the best Far Cry to date, Far Cry 6 maximizes PS5 capability while delivering a terrific experience. New and old Far Cry players shouldn't miss this one.

    A huge, exciting world packed with entertaining content against the backdrop of a mostly-accomplished story of charismatic revolutionaries makes this a return to fine form for the franchise. Ubisoft has married inspired design with trademark gameplay to great effect. This is the best Far Cry yet.

    At its core, Far Cry 6 both shines and suffers from many of the same strengths and weaknesses that have characterized the last few entries in the franchise. On one hand, it has incredibly engaging action and an open world begging to be used creatively. On the other, it has repetitive and sometimes rote mission design, with disconcerting tonal shifts that seat inconceivable brutality and violence at the same table with silly, absurd humor that feels at best disrespectful, and at worst, wildly inappropriate. What finally elevates Far Cry 6 is a better-than-average cast, and a more comprehensible and grounded story that is set in one of the most lavish and beautiful environments ever created for a game. It’s fascinating, flawed, and full of contradictions. It’s a Far Cry game.

    Far Cry 6 is an entertaining shooter, but it offers too much coolness instead of the necessary depth.

    Far Cry 6 makes some meaningful narrative improvements, helped by a fantastic performance by Esposito. However, repetitive and familiar gameplay, combined with a restrictive progression system, means changes are needed in the future if Ubisoft wants the series to continue.

    A truly huge game that adds more and more content without really fundamentally changing anything. It’s not a very good shooter but it will successfully distract you with countless relatively fun activities.

    If you’re interested in another Far Cry game that does the Far Cry stuff the way it’s been doing it for 10 years, you’ll probably have a good time, but if you’ve already hit your limit with this kind of game, Far Cry 6 is the ne plus ultra of why open-world game design is so badly in need of a revolution.

    As with most metacritic game reviews, this game isn't a 10 and isn't a 0. After 50 hours and beating it, FC6 is a solid 5. Pros:
    -World size    As with most metacritic game reviews, this game isn't a 10 and isn't a 0. After 50 hours and beating it, FC6 is a solid 5. Pros:
    -World size is massive -Graphics are solid but not amazing -treasure hunts were awesome and I did them immediately when presented
    -There were 5 or so missions that were really fun -Chopper or tank attacks on a military base were fun, if not labored by the seemingly random weapon cool down time.

    Cons:
    -VERY repetitive. Even for a FC game.
    -As someone who identifies as a lib, the politics in this game are very "16 year old read Karl Marx and made a video game about evil America and Capitalism v the righteous Revolution". It got exhausting and mind numbingly predictable.
    -Every prominent NPC was the same female caricature, skinned differently. (I played as femDani, so it was relentless).
    -removing the skill tree needs to be reversed as it had unintended, negative consequences, like making dark zone exploration worthless.
    -AI is so brutally dumb it made the game far too easy. Silently snipe a baddie and the others go on alert, but don't sound an alarm. -Gun choices are restricted to silenced, heavy hitting, distance weapons. Almost impossible to play close quarters due to random respawns.

    Ubi has lost their way. Valhalla suffered from much of the same problems. The first 10 hours are fun but then you realize you beat every mechanic and it became and exercise of identifying which mechanic you were facing for the next 40 hours. Also, please keep your personal revolution to yourself, thanks,    … Expand
