    Main plot kept interrupting my fun

    I keep coming back to Far Cry series for one reason mostly: big, open worlds and freedom to explore it the way I want it. Far Cry 5 still has plenty of that but the main story was made into major nuisance in many ways. R... Read Full Review

    No reward for effort; story ruins the game

    The Good: fun game mechanicsThe Bad: Ignoring the secret ending, there is no satisfaction from the story to the player for their effort. The first rule of making a game: do not make player actions meaningless. And that i... Read Full Review

    It’s a fair game to play

    I would say this game is pretty ok and nothing too bad but the only problems are when you shoot at one enemy and they call reinforcements, a full army literally comes down on you. And it will be annoying when you try to ... Read Full Review

    Far cry 5 Anniversary Edition.

    I played this game back in 2018 on my PC and I must say I was impressed by the graphics and so on. But on my Xbox one S, the game looks stunning. How can I put it? The game has amazing graphics, the story is still the s... Read Full Review

    Excellent, despite a few big flaws

    This is more or less what you expect from a modern open world game -- while most of the game is just ok, once in a while you get these moments of chaotic emergent action which you want to tell other people about. My fav... Read Full Review

    FC5: What were the developers thinking?

    It was fun and kept me busy for hours. Frustration mounted, and it gets sadistic. A hidden story motive revealed itself. FC5, unlike FC New Dawn, the player never gets revenge. We like stories where the good guys wins. T... Read Full Review

    Tons of Fun, However.....

    Far Cry 5 in my opinion is the best Far Cry since Far Cry 2. The updated graphics provide a sense of fullness that takes this games massive world to the next level. The Combat is fun and functional, and as you add more p... Read Full Review
