No more plains, run down ranches or nuclear safe houses. Instead they dive into beautiful beaches, tropical forests an exotic locales in the fictional Caribbean island named Yara. Far Cry games have long had very charismatic antagonists, and this time they up the ante with the story of a dictator named Anton Castillo, an his army of of oppressors.įrom the opening sequence many things are new in Far Cry 6. For the first time, once you choose which Dani you want to use, the camera zooms out and you can see yourself in third person. This change ripples out through the entire game, with your character’s voice and presence. Dani actually being present and having agency in the story creates a much stronger narrative through the entire experience. Radio towers are long gone, and the co-op is open for the entire story and not just side quest. Even the ally system from the previous games now properly functions in co-op. Airplanes, helicopters an tons of new vehicles allow you to travel in style or packing tons of weapons. The standard leveling and RPG mechanics have been gutted an rebuilt from the ground up.

“The workbench brings some insane weaponry to the mix”ĭespite all of those changes, the new military enemies, the change of scenery, the various adjustments an revamping of the standard Far Cry formula, the core of it does retain the familiar Far Cry style. It looks an sounds gorgeous, especially with the high resolution textures plays on either next gen platform. It runs at 4K, 60 frames and it never misses a beat. The moment to moment flow is a blast to play especially with a friend. The biggest improvement to the previous games is the feel and impact of the gun play.


If you were not into a Far Cry game before, I think the strong narrative and the focus on the feel of the core gameplay can convert old fans. If you were into Far Cry before, the changes to various mechanics freshen up the experience quite a bit. I really enjoyed this new and evolved Far Cry experience.
