The amount of crafting and exploring so that you can craft, as well as a couple of minor issues, put a damper on an otherwise fantastic world, and fun game experience.

Far Cry New Dawn is a ridiculously well-polished and fun to play action game (AI issues aside), with an enjoyable if largely mundane story and villains

Purely as a spin-off to Far Cry 5, New Dawn does manage to offer a solid continuation of the story and already established gameplay mechanics. If we take it as a completely new game, it doesn't manage to leave that great of an impression.

Far Cry expansions were great ways in which developers could try something new and wild. Sadly, New Dawn is not the case. The game feels safe, simple and generic. Is time to let the franchise rest and let some new ideas to flow.

Far Cry New Dawn while being a great experience feels more like an expansion to Far Cry 5 than it does its own stand alone title. This is not a bad thing, but if it had to be compared? It would be like saying New Dawn is equivalent to The Witcher 3’s Blood & Wine which was a great addition to the main title.

Far Cry: New Dawn scores positively for many things, and one of them is for bringing, for the first time, a direct sequence of the previous title. Even if it has its flaws and can be a little more of the same, it is possible to have fun in this floral apocalyptic scenario that it delivers.

New Dawn is more Far Cry for those who have extinguished all their other options, but its new additions aren't fleshed out quite enough to captivate newcomers looking for a substantial open world experience, or entice deserters that have grown tired of the franchise formula.

Except for the story that doesn't meet the standards, this game could provide hours of fun and enjoyable gameplay, but the franchise should consider introducing some changes in the future to keep the experience fresh.

Far Cry: New Dawn has nothing less than a main game in Far Cry series and it is a very complete game full of high quality content. Despite of some problems in story, i must say that amazing graphics, deep gameplay with new RPG elements and features, even more beautiful Hope County (than Far Cry 5) and many different activities to do, made Far Cry: New Dawn one of the best spin-offs that we've seen so far and either you play Far Cry 5 or not, you should definitely experience Far Cry: New Dawn, because it is absolutely worth your time and money.

Surprisingly, Far Cry New Dawn is much more than just a spin-off, and it can be easily considered as one of the main and best titles in the Far Cry series.

Story of Far Cry 5 continues in this postapocalyptic future that can still attract our attention.

An enjoyable game that never rises to anything more for anyone familiar with the series, and for newcomers Far Cry 4 might be a better choice.

"When it comes down to it, Far Cry New Dawn is a familiar yet fun experience that introduces some much-needed tweaks to Ubisoft’s stale formula. The problem, however, is that it’s too familiar and not doing enough to really warrant a playthrough..."

A disappointing sequel which doesn't use the post-apocalyptic setting very well. It adds some new mechanics, but deep inside it's the same Far Cry 5 without any meaningful additions.

In my opinion that Ubisoft Montreal has made a lot of technical and visual progress in trying to get the difficult equation to become the spin-off better than the basic game, but still needs more to become a special version in the series.

As an overall package, Far Cry New Dawn delivers a focused expansion of the world that was established in Far Cry 5. You don't need to play the prior game to enjoy what's here, but those who have done so will come into New Dawn with a greater appreciation of the world and the characters. The more limited scope means no add-on features (like Far Cry Arcade) and no season pass, but it also allowed for some experimentation that you don't usually see in a AAA title. Put this one on your purchase list, but you should stick with the regular edition and skip the deluxe edition. The deluxe edition is $10 more, with nothing to offer except some early weapon unlocks with alternate skins.

But for the most part, Far Cry New Dawn is fun, and that's the only thing that matters. There is more than enough content to never feel that you're grinding (although you are), and it fulfills one of the weirdest human fascinations, and that's the life after a world-encompassing cataclysm. And best of all, the entirety of the game can be played in co-op mode.

A dull story with boring characters and dialogues, destructive RPG elements, extreme emphasis on looting and microtransactions and bad level design, ruined an experience that otherwise would have been a fun Far Cry game
