I would be in a fire fight against an armoured enemy that is weak to armour piercing rounds (makes sense so far) but then an enemy wearing a piece of cloth would take double the number of shots to kill because I needed to have soft target rounds in my gun. The basic idea of it is to force you to put different ammo types into different weapons. I wish I could tell you this game mechanic was revolutionary (see what I did there) but honestly it just made no sense. Now let’s talk about the new ammo system. It doesn’t take too much skill to master but showing another chicken whose boss brings a weird sense of achievement (please don’t abuse chickens in real life after playing this game, though). It’s silly and fun, and a hilarious addition to the game. You must dodge, attack, and heavy-attack your opponent in a one-on-one ‘cage’ match. Mortal Kombat 12 leaked screenshot.įar Cry 6 also contains a new Mortal Kombat-esque mini game in the form of fighting chickens. I am all for accessibility at any gaming level but at least give players a choice. With the lack of enemy scaling, previously visited locations become a walk in the park, so veteran fans of the series are likely to be let down. My only quarrel here is the game has no difficulty setting, probably to cater to the new ammo system. I loved it and it kept me engaged long enough to complete the story. You will spend your time sneaking through enemy bases, riding your horse through the jungle, and looting every nook and cranny for that sweet, sweet gunpowder that allows you to upgrade your weapons. The gunplay is smooth, the headshots are crunchy, and the stealth is tense. if you’ve played Far Cry before and enjoyed it, you will find that same enjoyment here. Far Cry does a good job of not always taking itself too seriously and cuts a fine line between comical and serious which makes the story a truly memorable experience. The story has some nice twists and unexpected turns that conclude a captivating story of loss, violence, and the gritty reality of overthrowing a tyrannical dictator. Where are the people, the cars, and the revolution? From a story perspective the city is under martial law but it’s just disappointing to see so much wasted potential. Half the city is walled off and the other half feels so empty. It sure is urban but it’s far from dense. Ubisoft promoted it as a dense urban landscape never before seen in a Far Cry game. I wish the same could be said for Esperanza, the main city hub. It was a treat to control Dani, who I regard as the best protagonist in the series’ history (sorry Jason Brody). They say hello to people as they walk past them, swear when running out of ammo, and sing along to the radio in the car. Though a lot of the advertisement for Far Cry 6 focused on Giancarlo Esposito, Dani is an equally intriguing character who is expertly portrayed by Nisa Gunduz (female) and Sean Rey (male). Without spoiling anything, watching the interaction between Diego and Antón was captivating – I’m glad Ubisoft added this layer to the story. It’s just unfortunate that his drive and passion is to murder, kidnap, and torture people.įar Cry 6 presents a small twist on the Far Cry villain formula with the introduction of Diego Castillo, Antón’s son. Expertly played by Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito, he is well-written with drive, passion, and a clear goal. Tyrannical dictator Antón Castillo is the primary antagonist this time round. But found a reason to fight for the guerrillas in the name of the revolution. Yes, main character Dani has a mobile phone and a big jetpack, but still rolls around in an old, 70s-style car and I love it!ĭani wanted to leave Yara behind and start fresh in the land of opportunity. The world feels as if it has been frozen in time for the last 50 years. Far Cry 6 review: Story and Settingįar Cry 6 is set in the fictional country of Yara which takes heavy inspiration from Latin American countries, particularly Cuba. But overall, Far Cry 6 is a solid game with tight gunplay and an immersive world to lose yourself in. It tries to shake things up with some new gameplay mechanics that work and some that are downright pointless. It has outposts to clear, baddies to kill, and loot to find. Since going open-world in 2008 with Far Cry 2, Ubisoft have worked hard to perfect their version of an open-world game. If you haven’t, here’s a quick introduction: in their quest for freedom and answers, a badass protagonist faces an army of mean people led by an even meaner antagonist. If you have been keeping up with gaming in the last decade, you will have heard of Far Cry. This Far Cry 6 PS5 review may contain minor spoilers.
