Far Cry 5

werupenstein's Far Cry 5 (Xbox One) review

Stuck in the middle with you?

I'm not a big fan of FPS games, especially on console and this was my first Far Cry game, It came free with my Xbox 1X so I gave it a shot.

I thought the story was decent, each of the 4 antagonists were well done to the point where you could understand their point of view beyond just being flat out evil. The boss fights were good, but fuck those silos, especially the first one.

There is a wide variety of tools available in combat, I normally ignore these in other games, they seem to be crucial in this game and once I started using them the game had a much better flow.

Lots of bizarre side stuff that I wasn't at all expecting; not since the Burning Crusade have I been tasked with searching piles of poop for a quest item.

Though the game has a bit of a rough on-boarding, once I got the hang of things I enjoyed my time with this game.

Say ‘Yes,’ brothers and sisters. When Ubisoft calls on you to play The Division, Stick of Truth, Assassins Creed, and Trials of the Blood Dragon. Say ‘Yes,’ to an audio language track that is not your native tongue or ‘Yes,’ to a 2D spin-off in Assassins Creed: China. Say ‘Yes,’ to Child of Light and the Fractured But Whole. Redeem your Ubisoft points and enable online play for Watch Dog and say ‘Yes,’ to Zombi (U). And people wonder if...
