After the paint by numbers, constant conflict we had in 5, this is a breath of fresh air. It's almost Reminiscint of 2 in the way that you can exist in a city without engaging in a constant gunfight by holstering your weapons. The options you have to approach each situation feel significantly improved without the worry of being constantly attacked.
The presence of loot initially upset me, but the bonuses for each piece of armor are separate, and not simply a number higher than your last pieces. Currently wearing. Parkour legs that give you extra speed, a helmet that gives me immunity to gas, etc. Almost breath of the wild style gear.
The driving feels faster and snappier, and the allies are fun and silly ways to engage once things go loud. The world itself is huge, but not overly dense like AC Odyssey, just lots of space to utilize the instantly deliverable vehicles or various aircraft. You will find yourself riding a horse, with weapons customized for specific enemy types in your arsenal.
This is a sandbox like all far cry games, but the sense of place and pace set it apart. Give it a shot if you're fatigued by far cry but used to love it.
