Far Cry 5

I'm still playing the campaign, but so far this game is breathtaking. The darkest Far Cry out of all of them. It's very disturbing and it will give chills by the opening introduction. This game is a winner.

This game is great and all, but why the heck is Jared Leto trying to kill me?

Far Cry is known for its antagonist and Far Cry 5 has given the best villain you can hope.

Joseph Seed! I can't appreciate much, he don't need to act he can make you fear with his words. The best villain you will ever see in the game.

The storyline and graphics are good enough to make you lost in the game for hours.

The only thing I would criticize that Far cry5 should have given some backstory some presence for the deputy, It just feels like we have no part in the game. Deputy is only a moving camera no interaction to the world. And similarly to other Joseph seed should have been given more time to fight against him, after defeating his 3 siblings we have to directly fight against him in small and easy battle.

Overall the game is good enough but should have improved much giving more depth to its villain and the protagonist.

The game is a blast to play. Exploring the wilderness and taking outposts with your followers is insane fun. You can have a pilot bomb your enemies from above, a sniper take them out from a nice vantage point, or have them all slapped to death by a diabetic grizzly.

The worst part of the game is the story and having to listen to any of the main characters talk about their "deep dark philosophical principal"

The ending is absolute trash writing.

Aside from the generic Ubisoft agendas of every good character being a black or white female which rambles on and on about how tough she is, especially annoying being the bow-packing ally who is almost useless and always gets killed, yet repeats the same badly written "tough whaman" lines constantly...

...It's a really fun game with gorgeous scenery and generally fantastic gameplay that doesn't get old fast.

The STORY is surprisingly bare-bones and dumb considering the great acting and cutscenes invested in it. It's all ruined by the fact people are being mind-controlled via a song or some plant drug, so there isn't a cunning, complicated human reasoning behind why they join the in-game cult of bad guys who have always murdered one guy while a female is of course alive and waits for you to rescue her so she can tell you how strong she is...

The AI you rely on to be on your side however is mindbogglingly stupid, gets in the way, blows your cover by waltzing infront of the enemies while you plan your sneak attacks, takes your helicopter and flies off 5 feet to only crash it... It's a mess.

Speaking of mess, it's a super buggy game. I didn't mind seeing a tree floating in the air, surely they're placed via some algorithm and not manually, so it didn't bother me, but clipping through the ground and falling into nothing like I'm playing Sonic 06, or trying to talk to people almost always resulting in them running away or taking off in a car before they tell me whatever mini quest they have... it's irritating.

Speaking of irritating, WHAT DO I DO AND WHERE DO I GO? The map is so useless, you see a building, you go there - there's nothing, you run to the markers, you get super stupid side missions about collecting baseball cards or finding a bottle of whiskey DURING A WAR WITH A CULT.

I don't know, it's a messy game, but the fun gameplay and its freedom outweighs all of its flaws. I think it was rushed, 2 years doesn't sound nearly enough to make such a large game properly. But Ubisoft be Ubisoft.
