Far Cry: New Dawn Reviews
Ubisoft could've done more to refresh Hope County for Far Cry: New Dawn, but there's still some good, chaotic fun to be had here.
Far Cry New Dawn delivers a natural evolution in gameplay from Far Cry 5, delivering constant action and entertaining gameplay - if not a memorable storyline.
An over-familiar follow-up, perhaps, but New Dawn whittles away the rough edges of Far Cry 5 for something extremely enjoyable.
It's Far Cry 5 again, on a smaller scale and with a post-apocalyptic paint job.
Far Cry New Dawn might be a spinoff game, but it's sure to have a lasting impact on what we think of when Far Cry comes to mind
Superficial shakeups leave New Dawn feeling familiar to a fault for longtime Far Cry fans, but the gunplay is still satisfying
Ubisoft's post-apocalyptic continuation of Far Cry 5 doesn't feel as different as it looks, but it does have a worthwhile twist.
If Ubisoft had embraced the game’s fundamental silliness instead of cutting its narrative off at the knees by spackling over it with morality, I can only imagine what kind of truly Mad Max-esque shenanigans would have been possible. Its enemies and I are both the villains, but they’re allowed to be comfortable with their morbid, violent fun.
Though this standalone spin-off shamelessly reheats the map and overhaul mechanics of Far Cry 5, it introduces enough new ideas and winning missions to make its apocalyptic mark just about worth it.
Far Cry: New Dawn is an unexpected but welcome continuation of Far Cry 5.
The setting is too tame, and the fighting much too familiar to soar – but if another dollop of Far Cry sounds appetising, tuck right in.
Whilst Far Cry New Dawn isn't a completely new experience, it does have a few features that give it new life, and despite the bugs and weak story, it was nice revisiting Hope County.
Far Cry New Dawn is your regularly scheduled stop-gap Far Cry, with some lovely tweaks like the ranked enemies and weapons, and a fantastical element that reaches its natural conclusion.
"The Father" saves Far Cry New Dawn story with a set of new fresh features save the game from being a lame excuse of a new Far Cry title

Far Cry New Dawn is both a magnificent re-imagination of the storied series, and a lackluster approach by Ubisoft plagued with repetition.
If you are a fan of the open world FPS Far Cry formula, New Dawn will meet your expectations. If you were looking for a great revolution after Far Cry 5, better wait for 6, which may include some mechanics of this.

A very conservative bet that repeats without fear of imitation, an argument that lacks quality at all levels, a county that has changed almost nothing, a technological component that has left to be desired

Far Cry: New Dawn is a good spin-off for Far Cry 5, but doesn't completely match the value of the parent game. If you enjoyed FC5 and want more, this is a good more. Otherwise, play FC5 first.

A direct-to-video style sequel to Far Cry 5 that's still perfectly playable but fails to make use of its own premise in any interesting way.
