FAR CRY 5 GAME REVIEW

Far Cry 5 Game Review. Sect drivers, bears and burning cars: “Far Cry 5” is not stingy with absurd moments, but makes in the exclusive round of accession also very powerful mood.

Some news surprise: A few weeks ago Ubisoft moves in the same breath “The Crew 2” and “Far Cry 5”. But are such bad news really bad? Finally, just open-world games provide enough breeding ground for small and large bugs. After all, even earlier offshoots – regardless of whether “Far Cry 4” or the primeval “Far Cry Primal” – quickly degenerated into an unpredictable chaos.

“Far Cry 5” is no exception. Finally, the action adventure takes you to Hope County, Montana, where cult leader Joseph Seed and his grouping of Eden’s Gate have spread. You come as a new Deputy Sheriff in the region and immediately bump together with the fanatics. The result: Your friends are captured and you must now take on the seemingly hopeless battle with Seeds cohorts.

Over three months before the release of the game Ubisoft invites you to a two-hour audition. And as it turns out, in “Far Cry 5” you are anything but on your own.

THE WORLD OPENS

Hope County is your playground. Unlike many Ubisoft titles, however, it looks much more homogenous and less artificial. So you no longer climb towers to reveal the map. Instead, the inhabitants of the mountain region are the focus. Through conversations you will receive additional information and unlock new main and side missions. So “Far Cry 5” is deliberately a bit more talkative than earlier parts, but it creates atmosphere. Quickly you get the impression, as if you were a part of the world and if people would rely on you.

Of course, the map serves as a central orientation aid. Key points used after discovering to fast trip. You also define routes and give you an overview of the game world. It is divided into three regions where Joseph Seed’s ringleaders hold the reins. In the preview version, we are drawn west, where John Seed is at work. He is the brother of the sect leader and responsible for the care of the cult.So trucks in the streets are constantly patrolling with valuable goods. Who does not get paid, gets in trouble. There is also a constant sense of threat. Even when exploring the landscape, the crooks immediately attack or repeatedly come together with inhabitants of the region. Overall, “Far Cry 5” feels wonderfully alive. The only downside: not always we find at the next street corner also a mobile subset. In the practice round was therefore occasionally endurance required. However, you can later build a vehicle park and buy and equip helicopters at stations, for example.
