It's Deputy Hunting Season!

It works, but gets boring VERY quickly. Maybe I've played too many FPS games, but nothing in this felt exciting. Not the story, not the gun play, not the open world, not the plot, not the upgrades, not the vehicle mechanics. If generic shooter had a business card it would be this game.

Ubisoft: Let's throw the player into a mess of an open world and let them "create their fun" with no cohesion at all.

Gets stale after 2-3 hours. Open World distribution is muddled, mission design is non-existent, encounters with enemies in the overworld are way too constant, exploration is mostly pointless, weapons feel the same and lack punchiness, the weather system in this game is a baffling downgrade compared to its predecessors (it doesn't even rain, wtf), narrative is GODAWFUL and the ending is a giant middle finger to the player. Point is: this game fails to even establish a minimally competent and coherent open world (something they did beautifully in Far Cry 3). Extra modes and DLCs are there, they simply exist. Positives? Some collactables have some fun platforming, customization is surprisingly good and the countryside atmosphere still sells, I guess. And I suppose you can still make some fun with the arsenal you're given, but trust me when I say you'll get bored by the third time you do an outpost. Better to just watch StealthGamerBR.

Don't ask me why I played this much back in 2018, I was in denial on how bad this game was and was trying to convince myself it wasn't THAT bad.

3.5/10.0
Ubisoft just can't make a good game anymore and Far Cry 5 was pretty much the beginning of the slippery slope we're witnessing. Far Cry 5 is really bad and not worth even on sale. Play Far Cry 3 and ignore this one. I truly hope AC:Shadows is the final nail in their coffin.

I tried, but Far Cry 5 just didn’t click for me. While it starts with a bang, the overall experience felt dull and unengaging. The lack of a voiced protagonist with personality, unlike other Far Cry games, was a missed opportunity. Weapons are overpriced, making it feel grindy to progress, and while the cutscenes are well-executed, NPC interactions are generic. The open world feels bland, and losing your car can leave you stranded due to the lack of vehicles. Ultimately, playing this game felt more like a chore than an adventure.

This isn't even notable this is just business as usual in Montana.

Its so much fun in every way, I been playing it nonstop for a couple days now and I haven't gotten bored a single time..
The story is amazing, It got me hooked the first few minutes of gameplay and that usually never happens for me.
This is one of the many games I'll get sad over beating it because I just want more.
I highly recommend.

Fun game

Revisited after completing on the Xbox when it released and picking it up on sale for PC 2 years back. For me this is the most complete Far Cry game (I know 2 and 3 are tough to beat) of the series. It has a really compelling narrative with dynamic gameplay. In terms of gaming villains The Seed family have sinister charm, drawing you deep into the twisted ideology of Eden’s Gate with the story striking balance between violent intensity and relaxing meandering through a beautiful world.

Side missions provide a welcome break allowing for the stealthy liberation of outposts, rescuing crazy animals in hilarious ways to racing through the mountain tops. This game allows you to drive, fly, captain a vast array of vehicles and is loads of fun.

If you're a fan of the series then you MUST play it, i'd even say if you have never played a far cry game this is the one you want to play! Far Cry 5 offers exceptional replay value and stands as a testament to the series enduring appeal.

Cool story but the gameplay is very repetitive and gets boring very quick

I only got this game because you finally allowed achievements, while it is an enjoyable game Ubisoft connect is absolutely horrible. My Gf consistently gets the Alberta error code when we try to play with zero fixes in sight. She also uses a brand new Xbox controller and the sensitivity is unplayable no matter what settings she has tried. A mediocre game made by a company that refuses to fix their games or have an ounce of care for their players.
