Far Cry 5 Reviews
Ultimately, Far Cry 5 is a relentlessly fun, aggressively varied open world shooter that will keep you hooked for dozens and dozens of hours. The game's world has never felt more alive, brimming with animal ecosystems, serene lakes, and verdant forests, with spectacular scenery just begging to be screenshotted.

Far Cry 5 is the best addition to the franchise for quite a while and it is well worth spending many hours visiting Montana.
The PC version of Far Cry 5 is, hands down, the best on the market. As usual, the more powerful your PC, the better and more eye-candy the result. Even with mid-sized computer, though, the Montana created by Ubisoft offers truly beautiful sights.

Fans of the series have more than likely already picked this up, but if you remotely enjoy first person shooters, this is a must own. It's not perfect, but it tries its best to be and you know what? It got close.
Far Cry 5 is a rollercoaster of emotions; from the sheer adrenaline of the gameplay, to the psychological trauma resulted from the most disturbing underlings in the series' history. Much like a pilgrimage, the initial trials and tribulations are very difficult, but as things progress it becomes significantly less so. A hugely enjoyable experience, even if it's certainly got a few pacing and open-world teething issues to address.
If you embrace the madcap, if you let go of expectations of narrative and plot and just give in to the cult of Far Cry, then there is a lot of entertainment to be had. It's not a game I would describe as good so much as entertaining.
The best thing we can say about Far Cry 5 is that it's competent, and the worst that it's far too safe. Ubisoft is clearly more interested in making an experience that appeals to everyone to satisfy the bottom line. That's a real shame, because there's the makings of a highly entertaining sandbox survival adventure here. Sadly, you won't see any of it, because there's no encouragement to experiment when running and gunning is as effective as it is.
Far Cry 5 is an epic soundbox experience, driven by the joy of exploration and all-out chaotic gunplay. It's all good fun, but also very familiar, and we can't help but wonder what would have been if Ubisoft put more story-driven elements into the game.

Enough as it is, Far Cry 5 is an excellent chapter in the series.

Far Cry 5 plays best in co-op with a friend thanks to many crazy situations and fun moments. The basic story is not bad, but Ubisoft is copying itself and amount of recycled elements can upset someone. Still, excellent graphics, helicopter missions, treaure hunts and many other things make Far Cry 5 a good game.

If you're wondering whether bringing the madness to our doorstep, making the entire campaign co-op and including an impressive toolbox to create new levels and missions while still retaining that visceral gunplay the series is known for keeps Far Cry 5 fresh and worth playing on Day One, my answer is: yes, absolutely.
Far Cry 5 is the best Far Cry to date. The great additions and refinements made to the franchise are fantastic. Along with the inclusion of Far Cry Arcade, which extends your play time, Far Cry 5 is the ultimate open-world first person shooter.
The characters and story really make Far Cry 5 a brave product.
This one takes the best of the last few games and drops the bad parts.
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 a handsome, mechanically dazzling, engaging title fused to story that doesn't deliver despite early promise.
All in all, the duo multiplayer experience of Far Cry 5 is fantastic. The aesthetics alone manage to overshadow the frustrating mechanics that the game brings to bear and keep us wanting to play. If you’re looking for a fun, engaging, exciting game to play with a partner, this is definitely one to try out. Let’s hope that the games industry creates more partner play experiences for those who love to game together, but not necessarily in huge piles.
Far Cry 5 returns to revitalize the saga, with an addictive gameplay, crazy scenes, moments of action and a cruel and enigmatic story.

Far Cry 5 had much to live up to coming in under the shadow of previous games in the series. While it doesn't quite reach the same level, it stays true to enough of its series staples that fans and newcomers alike should expect a good time.
