Far Cry 5 Reviews
Far Cry 5 took me by surprise, it’s as big, beautiful and bizarre as 3 or 4, but Far Cry 5 is refined to create my favourite Far Cry experience to date.
Far Cry 5 offers the best mechanics the series has seen to date, from much-needed updates to driving and shooting to the addition of vehicles, the Guns-For-Hire system, and the changes in progression. On top of the new additions and updates, Hope County, Montana is the most well-realized and original location the series has seen to date and one of the best open-worlds to come around this generation. The variety of content, the way players discover it, and the process of progression all lend to a sense of freedom and possibility befitting the eye-catching northwest American locale. The story falters where past entries did not, with less memorable villains and repetition in the mission structure, but it is a worthwhile sacrifice to allow players to enjoy the game at their will. Far Cry 5 shows that the series is willing to head into new territory; whether it continues on this trajectory remains to be seen, but the ideas here could breathe new life into the open-world genre as a whole. Ubisoft’s design philosophy feels indebted to the game’s new location, as it is imbued with a unique sense of freedom and power to the individual not previously seen in the series. While the new changes are not all rocket-pops and fireworks, Far Cry 5 still goes off with a bang worthy of any Fourth of July celebration.
Far Cry 5 is an extraordinarily entertaining addition to the Far Cry series and almost the best installment. Just almost, but even the few minor faults don't spoil the otherwise excellent gameplay.

Far Cry 5 is walking on some new refreshing paths but is by far not fearless enough to completely reinvent Ubisoft's Far Cry formula. The fresh co-op mode, the reduced HUD, the new companion system and the modified Open World concept extend the well-known gameplay with some interesting facets, but retain the typical Far Cry charm. The co-op mode has to give in to its numerous technical problems and degenerates to a hardly serious, albeit fun addition, which ambitious co-op veterans should give some time to mature. Mission-threatening bugs and Ki dropouts turn out to be massive disruptive factors that put your own frustration tolerance to the test. Nevertheless, Far Cry 5 really entertained us on our 30 hour journey. The exaggerated humor, the charismatic antagonists and the lively game world motivate us enormously, the atmospheric atmosphere contributes its rest to create a charming adventure, which is certainly not a milestone in the history of the series.

Far Cry 5 succeeds on the strengths of its extraordinary batch of villains, wildly fun gameplay, and solid world-building that’s expected with Ubisoft games.
Far Cry 5 offers a new, interesting perspective on the Far Cry series and it’s a much needed one to stop the series from becoming stale. The Co-op mode is the highlight and you’ll get hours of enjoyment out of it should you stick around and explore Hope County to its fullest.
Far Cry 5 is a game with a great concept and a pretty lousy execution. The game keep the shooting mechanics that made FC3 so great and most of the time explore Montana is wonderful, unfortunately the story is predictable and Joseph Seed isn't nearly as compelling as Vaas or Pagan Min.

Far Cry 5 upped the gameplay of the series in satisfying ways. The entire campaign was finally playable in co-op, and the premise had potential. In the end, it misses the mark severely story-wise, but it’s a really fun shooter. It isn’t the best experience on any Xbox console but it does run beautifully on even a mid-range PC. Since it’s on Game Pass either solo or co-op it’s well worth checking out.
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.
Far Cry 5 is the result of a strong development made during the past few years by Ubisoft. It really is a mixture of all the strengths belonging to this saga until today. Although this new chapter detaches from a well agreed scheme, as it happened during the third episode with Vaas Montenegro, it is still capable to draw a good starting point for this series. And of course, this is the best Far Cry ever made.

Far Cry 5 is one of the best entries in this series. Guns for hire is a great addition to the game and the world always have something to offer. If the game had better AI and story had focused only on main antagonist Far Cry 5 could be something like Far Cry 3.

Far Cry 5 learned its lessons from Ubisoft's mistakes and the game's series. Missions don't repeat themselves and offers fun and long gameplay. Despite minor mistakes, Far Cry 5 deserves to be liked.

What I found [in Hope County] was a redneck action odyssey I didn't ask for and never knew I wanted, until I found myself in the late hours of the night raiding enemy outposts with a trained bear and a shotgun-bearing pyromaniac. It's more fun than you'll expect to have, and after experiencing the ending ..., I'm left with vivid memories of a fictional land.
Far Cry 5 delivers on what has made the series special, with freeform gameplay, a hostile environment replete with colorful characters and a generous amount of content in both missions and activities, in addition to numerous gameplay tweaks and improvements. It might not be a huge departure from the series, but it definitely is the most polished one so far.

It never really realises the absurdity of the story that its telling even as it leans into absurd humour in plenty of other areas in the game.
Far Cry 5 does not change the genre, in fact, embraces what made it a favorite series with the audience creating their adventure within beautiful surroundings.
The 5th installment in Far Cry franchise is yet another effort by Ubisoft to build on a successful formula, And while some elements such as story and AI are not as good as we’d expected, the core mechanics of gameplay are so great that it’s just impossible not to love it. Far Cry 5 tastes as good as its big brother, Far Cry 3. Maybe even tastier.

A wonderful continuation of the series. Far Cry 5 adjusted a well-known formula enough to make the chase after brilliant antagonists very fun and exciting.
