Far Cry 5 Reviews
Far Cry 5 is an amusing game that can keep you busy for a few hours. Yet, it fails to deliver the effect it aims for to the player. The idea behind the story and emphasis on a religious cult is very intriguing, but once you're into the game and discover its relationship with the gameplay, you realize that the story fails to have a dragging effect due to its poor enemy character design and unfocused narrative pacing. Despite these problems, Far Cry 5 is a move forward in the gameplay aspect of the franchise; and by offering a very unique and expansive Open World system, it manages to be one of the best Ubisoft games mechanically.

Far Cry 5 may not be perfect, but it's very close to it. Exhibiting the true meaning of AAA, it's a game that Ubisoft should be proud to have made and gamers should give pride of place in their collection.
Far Cry 5 can best be described as inconsistent. At times, the game feels stale by sticking too close to the tired formula the series has been criticized for, and a disappointing main questline isn’t doing it any favors. However, the game is far from lifeless, with a ton of fun to be had. Whether it is helping the citizens of Hope County with side missions or exploring the countryside, Far Cry 5 has moments of greatness. In the end, Far Cry 5 feels too inconsistent and hopefully future titles in the series can learn from this game’s mistakes.
While it never manages to satisfy the thirst for narrative depth that it so heavily promised in its marketing, Far Cry 5 still provides an open world that is ultimately the most satisfying that Ubisoft has delivered to date.
The best thing we can say about Far Cry 5 is that it is one of the most entertaining sandbox survival adventures in the franchise. Montana is a gorgeous slice of new terrain that is fraught with peril and the road ahead that Far Cry Arcade represents is exciting, to say the least. Simply put, the fifth version in Ubisoft’s series of madness, freedom, and exploration is Far Cry perfected.
Even with plenty of flaws and questionable design decisions, Far Cry 5 has more than enough fun gameplay to make up for it.
Far Cry 5 seamlessly fits itself into the franchise. The beautiful open world, an oddly charismatic antagonist and a variety of missions ensure hours of gameplay. Unfortunately, Ubisofts newcomer has a few shortcommings, which show as the game progresses. Re-used character models, searching for sidequests and, most saddening, microtransactions for getting equipment early on, belittle the gaming experience, which can even be enjoiyed in coop. As for tinkerers, Far Cry 5 with its "Arcade" provides a sheer endless amount of maps and quests, which are built by players around the globe or yourself.

Overall Far Cry 5 gets a 7/10, it feels like it has taken away many points that made the series so fun and immersive in the past. Gunplay is still fun, with plenty of options for your arms, but with the new skill system, it does force you outside of your preferred gameplay style more than once.
I love Far Cry, I really do, there's something about this series that makes me smile no matter what the game. I might be horribly biased by the open world nature of the games, and like many of my favourite titles before it, it's the mix of unpredictable gonzo fun and sudden random nature elements that combine to make it such a great experience. Far Cry 5 seeks to keep that flavour from previous Far Cry titles such as 3 and 4, and push the boundary of its design a bit further.
While Ubisoft's FPS formula is beginning to show its age with gameplay and mechanics that are too familiar for comfort, encasing the package with an exigent theme such as religious zealotry makes all things (seem like) new.
Far Cry 5 is an absolutely stellar game that does a lot of things right, as well as fixes a lot of issues with the previous games.
In general we must say that Ubisoft leaves us a little 'forbidden on the final judgment. On the one hand we have a game that has been able to fascinate thanks to rich and curated settings to detail and well-made and characterized characters, on the other hand we have a narrative that, although engaging, can not take flight as we would like, always remaining in a median area. Unfortunately we find a gameplay already seen that, despite having nothing wrong, ends up being a bit 'too well known. In short, a title that proposes a formula already tasted, which on the one hand has nothing wrong but that on the other fails to renew itself and therefore ends up being beautiful, but not exceptional. A game however interesting, full of content and missions that surely will please the faithful.

Ubisoft has done a great job by introducing this name game with a plethora of new features. It is an entertaining game with no real drawbacks. So, we suggest you to get it now and play it to experience the thrilling adventure inside Eden’s Gate.
Despite having a terrific antagonist, Far Cry 5 seems to struggle to connect the player to the story.
Far Cry 5 is one of the best games of all time because it innovates in the franchise at the same time that it feels like a mixture of all of its previous games.

I had a heap of fun with this game and it’s definitely my favourite in the series. I wasn’t bored for a second and cannot wait to go back to it some time; I felt I did rush it a little as I wanted to get to God of War, but I would have definitely spent more time on it had that not been the case. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the ending of the game, but I don’t want to spoil that. Trust me pick up this game, you won’t regret it.
Far Cry 5 delivers amazing gaming experience. It's a great game in almost every aspect. The only flaw is that it's not the best Far Cry game I've played.

Overall though, Far Cry 5 is a great experience. I could list out issues with the game and it's story, but at the end of the day there is one question that needs to be asked, was it fun? My answer to that is a resounding yes
