Far Cry 5 isn't a perfect game. Some missions are certainly less fun than others. I encountered a couple difficulty spikes that had me more frustrated than challenged. The sheer scope of content can be a bit bewildering and overwhelming at times. And the lack of a clear message certainly indicates that Ubisoft was not willing, not brave enough perhaps, to take more of a stand.

And yet, for all that, this is some of the most fun I've had gaming all year. The game is gorgeous and rich with content. There's tons to do and you can do it however you like. Scale a mountain and go base-jumping with your squirrel suit. Try to crash your plane into an enemy outpost. Unleash predators on unsuspecting cultists. Blow stuff up with glee and abandon. Pet your adorable dog, Boomer. This freedom, coupled with the game's excellent quality of life changes, make this a wonderful first-person shooter sandbox game that will appeal to anyone who enjoys freedom in gameplay and doesn't mind an outrageous story

Of course, I have my own biases. I've loved every Far Cry game including the original. These games just click for me---they don't for everyone. I'm glad to see the series make some changes, also.

I give the game a Buy on my Buy/Hold/Sell scale. I think it's worth the price of admission. If you get the Gold version you get a copy of the remastered version of Far Cry 3 as well, which is a great deal, and also the Season Pass with much more Content.

The Arcade Mode is fun! And you can spend a lot of time in the Map Editor. This is even one of the best Map Editor I'ever played!

The Game runs smooth with my Settings on Ultra with constant 60 FPS. Game is pretty well optimized!

9/10 because the AI is (as always) pretty dumb, but thats okay, because everything else (Story, Graphics ...) is pretty awesome!


Overall, i think Ubisoft is going the right Way. After AC Origins, my hope into this Developer/Publisher is back again, and with FarCy 5 they did another great job!
