TLDR: An amazing game which people hate on only because it's a Ubisoft game.

Graphics:
It's absolutely amazing! 100% a step up from Far Cry 5/New Dawn with huge improvements to people.

Storyline:
There is really good development for Castillo and I felt like I really knew my own character by the end of the game.

Price:
I'd wait for a sale. The game already goes down to $15 on sales (even on launch) so I would never pay the full $60 personally.

Difficulty:
Like all Far Cry games (3 and newer) its not especially hard, letting you somewhat relax and enjoy the story.

AI:
They can be quite a bit dumb at times, but they function well enough. The companions are probably the best ones yet... although you can abuse them pretty easily (like Guapo's self revive).

Cutscenes:
Typically only used at major points in the game, but really well animated with great story building.

Fun:
I still hop into the game time to time. It has a massive world with tons of things to explore and easily the best gun system in a Far Cry game yet. I do wish the perk points system and the melee system from prior games would come back though.

Sounds/Music:
At times the radio in vehicles can become a bit too repetitive, but other than that I had no issues.

Launcher:
Ubisoft Launcher

Achievements:
None

Replayability:
A ton! They even have a feature built in so after you beat the game there will be continuous content as areas will be retaken.

Controls:
Feels really good all around.

Performance:
No issues

Modding:
Not officially endorsed but there is a small community. It's mostly people adding patches which are cheats, break the game in funny ways, or somewhat useful additions.

Selling Out:
- Epic Games exclusivity on launch
- $100 worth of DLC
- In app purchased
- Deluxe Edition
- Gold Edition
- Game of the Year Edition

Similar Games:
- Any Far Cry game
- This game takes some inspiration from Borderlands games

Bugs:
- Falling through the map (with some areas just missing ground entirely)
- Sometimes in coop you will be unable to bring out weapons/med kits/anything.
- Extreme coop desync
- Messy physics when theres tons of physics objects interacting with each other
