Far Cry 6

Far Cry 6 Review – IGN

Far Cry 6 is some of the most fun I’ve had with this series in nearly a decade. Its cast delivers strong performances across an enjoyable story, even if it’s also a fairly predictable one that doesn’t always land the bigger swings it tries to take. And despite some faltering new inventory mechanics and a handful of bizarre design choices, its creative weaponry means taking down an outpost, ransacking a convoy, or even just taking a ride with a buddy has never felt better.

Far Cry 6 review – The ultimate junk food game

Far Cry 6 is the latest and quite possibly the greatest in Ubisoft’s long-running open-world shooter series. The island of Yara is a beautiful, dangerous place to explore, loaded with secrets and objectives that are actually worth hunting down this time. It’s still best enjoyed in small doses, however, as Ubisoft’s tendency to fill every inch of the map with side objectives persists. Read full review…

Far Cry 6 Review – Less Than Revolutionary

Far Cry 6 is often a fun game that feels like it’s throwing everything at you, and if you want a heap of content, Far Cry 6 absolutely has you covered. In isolation, a lot of its elements are interesting ideas. Taken together, though, it feels like a lot of disparate things that keep taking your attention back to menus and map icons. It’s a lot of exhausting extra stuff, when really, what Far Cry 6 is good at is giving me opportunities to blow stuff up. Read full review…

Far Cry 6 review – neatly packaged chaos in fictional Latin America

This feels like a far more honest take on what Far Cry is to most people: a joyful, chaotic toybox. There’s room for improvement – the questionable Latin American representation, for a start – but there’s no doubt this is something of an awakening for the series, exploring ideas I’m excited to see refined in iterations to come. In particular, doing away with the cumbersome pretence of political salvation leaves you free to pick and choose your own adventure, whether that’s toppling Castillo or just being crowned Gran Primo champion. Like Yara, Far Cry 6 is brimming with potential – you just have to step up and shape it. Read full review…

Far Cry 6 Review – The Spark That Ignites The Fire

Far Cry 6 is a compelling open-world action game from the early moments through the final confrontation. The main storyline is exciting, and I never ran into a shortage of side content to enjoy. Far Cry 6 isn’t revolutionary in its accomplishments, but it executes the franchise’s formula better than any entry before it. Read full review…

FAR CRY 6 REVIEW – All guerrilla, all the time

here’s less pomp and exaggeration with this villain compared to Far Cry 5’s Joseph Seed; Castillo is just as committed to his cause, that’s for sure, but he’s much more traditional and realistic due to his seat of power. He shines an uneasy light on potential goings-on in the world—the ‘politics’ that Ubisoft seems keen to distance itself from acknowledging—highlighting that all the ‘good’ things we receive might be the results of modern-day slavery and corruption. There’s little to laugh at with Far Cry 6’s story, instead leaving a sour taste as you wonder about reality and the state of the world. And for that, I definitely recommend you play it. Well, that and the fact there’s around a million wee dogs you can pet. Read full review…

Far Cry 6 Review: ‘Fails to evolve the series’

Far Cry 6 had the potential to deliver an interesting story, solid gameplay, a great next-gen presentation, and a fantastic co-op experience. While it succeeds with the latter, the story feels hollow with a setting that’s handled clumsily, the gameplay is hampered by unnecessary hindrances weighing down the fundamentals, and the visuals get a little too blurry to consistently impress on this new Sony system.

Unfortunately, Far Cry 6 has missed the mark again, with too few significant improvements and a lot of bloat. For those who love Far Cry, it’s yet another game to blast through and add to the pile, but compared to the competition, this series is starting to fall seriously behind. Read full review…
