Far Cry 5 Reviews
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.
Far Cry 5‘s setting is beautiful to behold, however it’s home to a shallow story, bland protagonist, and repetitive set of missions. You can have plenty of fun sniping helicopters out of the air, but the game never lets you slow down. It constantly cries out for attention as if it knows that once you stop playing you might never return. There was a long gap between Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 5, but judging by the final product, there needed to be a longer one. Ubisoft needs to channel some of the creativity that successfully reinvented Assassins’ Creed; we need more than another by-the-numbers Far Cry game.
Far Cry 5 hits the scene with arguably the best open-world experience of the series in quite some time with a large region to explore backed by solid combat and Triple-A production values. Its narrative, however, can be quite polarizing and its selection of endings can leave some people questioning the effort they invested in guiding the protagonist toward the story's conclusion. So do you value the journey or the destination? Ultimately, the satisfaction you get from Far Cry 5 rests on your answer to that question.
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.

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.
I would recommend Far Cry 5 once the price drops. To anyone who wants to have a good stupid time, go ahead and get the game, but be prepared for it’s irritating design choices.
Far Cry 5, while having some issues, such as the janky AI and a rather far-fetched plot, more than makes up for these things with some compelling and truly innovative approaches from Ubisoft. There is a real sense that it put a lot of love back into a series that over the last spin-off and fully-fledged entry was possibly becoming mundane. The world set in the USA presents a real contrast to the tropical paradise settings of all the previous entries. Additionally, the organic approach to missions and narrative advancement mean that Far Cry 5 avoids the 'cleaning up of the map' feel that some previous games have conveyed. The gunplay is smooth and fantastic and the graphics are stunning. Anyone who hasn't played a Far Cry game before needs to get this and any doubters of Ubisoft's ability to deliver a truly great open-world title need to do likewise.
Far Cry 5 is a handsome, mechanically dazzling, engaging title fused to story that doesn't deliver despite early promise.
Far Cry 5 is by no means a perfect game. There are inconsistencies in its tone, the villains are forgettable compared to those in the series’ previous entries, and some of the mission design can be repetitive in nature. The co-op also comes with disappointing compromises. Ultimately, though, these shortcomings are made easier to bear in light of the game’s excellent gunplay, well-designed world, and stellar presentation. Planning and mounting the many assaults in the game never gets old, and the moment-to-moment gameplay is exhilarating and always makes you want to come back for more. This is what great games are all about, and what makes Far Cry 5 so easy to recommend.
Far Cry 5 is lots of good fun that'll have you entertained for a long time - and in that it lives up the series. The shooting never stops being entertaining and there's a lot of game here, with many options on how to do things, and it at least feels different enough from previous games to be a worthy sequel - unlike Far Cry 4 and Primal. So in that it's a success and we can't imagine anyone being truly disappointed in Far Cry 5.
Far Cry 5 is one of the best open world games ever made, and certainly Ubisoft's finest effort. Unfortunately, the narrative stumbles and trips, throwing the tone into disarray and ultimately leading to a dissatisfying conclusion. Throw your story expectations to the wind and come to Hope County for the addictive open-world thrills, excellent OST and side characters.
Far Cry 5 is another good game after Assasin's Creed: Origins. Montana's diverse climate, captivating plot and refreshed mechanics make it the best sequel after Far Cry 3.

Far Cry 5 is the best addition to the franchise for quite a while and it is well worth spending many hours visiting Montana.
While you're not likely to remember its story in a few months' time, and the erratic driving of friendly civilians may frequently alarm you, its gameplay shines and that's what's important. Setting you free in a stunningly realised open world, Far Cry 5 gives you all the tools you need for tens of hours of outrageous fun.
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.

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.
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.
Without a doubt, Far Cry 5 is the most varied game in the series. Although there are a few problems with narrative and enemy AI but Thanks to smart changes to the exploring formula and of course amazing world of Hope County, we can finally say that Far Cry series has evolved

To my surprise, I still enjoy Far Cry's particular blend of lush environments, fluid combat, and crazy happenings — like hunting a wolverine, then stumbling into a firefight full of exploding vehicles, or crashing a helicopter into an airplane and nabbing a trophy in the process ("Squash and Run").
Far Cry 5 builds impressively on the solid gameplay elements which made the series what it is today, and is a fun, rip-roaring open-world gaming experience that few in 2018 will surpass.
