Oh Far Cry 5... How I've awaited your arrival. Finally, you have come to bless the world with your stellar crafting and combat. Far Cry 5 is looking fantastic, and plays like the classics in the Far Cry series with a good amount of new tricks mixed in. I think I'm gonna like Montana.

The Eden's Gate cult are the antagonists of Far Cry 5 (obviously alluding to the Heaven's Gate cult of the 90s) led by a group of siblings. Joseph Seed is considered the 'Father' of the group despite not being the oldest but if I know Far Cry 5 we will be teaching him some hard lessons. I guess the Father can call me Daddy.

This is the first Far Cry game that will allow you to travel the skies in a variety of planes. As always Far Cry 5 will surely have its fair share of secrets, and coop collab mode with a friend is surely going to pique some interests. Niko is gonna jump in with me pretty shortly!

One of the newest additions to Far Cry 5 are companions. There are human and animal companions, each with their own special skill set. Still want to stand as a one-man army? That's an option as well. The freedom offered in Far Cry 5 is as unparalleled as ever, so let's get to it!

Welcome to Hope County, Montana, home to a fanatical doomsday cult known as Eden’s Gate. Stand up to cult leader Joseph Seed & his siblings, the Heralds, to spark the fires of resistance & liberate the besieged community.

It doesn't feel like a Far Cry game, while simultaniously being a Far Cry game. In my opinion, this is how you proceed on with a franchise. Old mechanics that people didn't like were abandoned (and the game even makes a quip about one of them), and other ones are revamped in good ways.
Anyone who tells you that the game is a 'reskin' obviously hasn't taken a good look at this game. Ally NPCs that'll fight alongside you similar to games like Fallout, indepth gun customization revamped from Far Cry 4, an entirely new vehicle purchasing and customization system (not to mention the addition of planes and helicopters), full and proper map editor integration and revamp with a stupid amount of assets, a system where causing more chaos will have the main antagonists send things like recon helicopters out to try to find you when you're in their territory, a hidden stash system where you learn of the location of a cluster of goodies through word of mouth or recorded message... the game is different but in the best way possible. Whatever Ubisoft did this time, they couldn't have done it more right... except maybe add some more customization. Some areas are a bit lackluster.

People complain about graphics, but, to be honest, we're at a point where graphics getting better is starting to get a little much. It looks beautiful and fine as it is, minus a handful of oddly low-quality textures, but they're easily ignorable (and forgivable considering the game's environments)

Optimization is pretty good, however, the game seems to run the same no matter what settings I put it at. The only thing changing FPS drastically is making my FOV smaller, so if you have issues with FPS, lower your FOV if you're at something like 120.

Progression feels pretty solid. Never felt pressured into buying into any of the microtransactions, so there's really no point to complain about them as they don't purposefully slow down progress or anything.

The game's atmosphere is on point. Matched with the story, if you're someone who can easily get immersed into something, you'll find yourself easily falling into the game, especially at key scenes.

I have not run into nearly as many bugs as any negative reviews claim there is. I tried playing with my friend and I had a glitch where it just simply didn't respawn me, but that was about it. Any other bugs were ignorable.

Definitely an improvement from the previous games. As good, if not better, than Far Cry 3. I really hope this doesn't fall through the cracks because of stupid issues like 'b-but microtransactions!!!' or 'b-but it doesn't look better than real life!!!!' Worst yet, wait 'till someone tells you they passed up on the game because it has an anti-cheat they seem to think causes performance issues, despite it being proven not to. Imagine being that petty? Their loss.
I also have a little bit of a small bias - the fact that it takes place in the United States instead of a random country I'm not nearly familiar with makes the game a lot more attractive to me. - Arekan
