Far Cry 5 is Far Cry at its best. While the narrative can be over-the-top and somewhat lacking, Hope County provides a beautiful setting and fresh gameplay for fans of the series.

Critic Reviews for Far Cry 5
Far Cry 5 is another wide-open playground with all the necessary ingredients for causing a real ruckus: loads of enemies and allies, temperamental wildlife, and plenty of explosions.
A big, beautiful, chaotic canvas of freeform destruction, Far Cry 5 continues the series' best traditions.
Far Cry 5 may not have much in the way of revolutionary new ideas, but it streamlines Ubisoft's open world formula and delivers one of the best games in the series.
The best Far Cry yet and one of the best open world shooters of any kind, with an impressive variety of missions and non-linear structure.
A polished and refined instalment that values your time more than the previous games and keeps the focus on entertaining you throughout.
Virtually everything about Far Cry 5 is thoroughly okay. For a series that has provided so many thrills and surprises, that's a major disappointment
