Everything we know so far about Far Cry 5

| Deb 23, 2018 | By: FEARIUN

Far Cry 5 is the game that has a lot to live up to. Not only is the game very hyped due to the previous success that the other titles had, but at the same time it also strives to come up with something new. Far Cry games always had a new setting, and this one is actually quite interesting. Montana is a great location for any video game, and adding it here does make a lot of sense. One thing you should keep in mind is that this game is designed to be very intense, just like the others.

But they also integrated some new notions such as religion for example. That does make plenty of sense, but as a whole it does cover a huge range of new ideas as well. Dealing with a cult that’s spread all over the game world isn’t ideal. But it does get to be fun, since you have new ways to conquer locations and so on.

Release date
The Far Cry 5 release date is March 27. They basically pushed the release date a little bit, initially it was on February 27. Ubisoft always tries to bring in more quality and value with its games, so it’s easy to say that the new Far Cry will be pretty much polished and ready to go. Recently Ubisoft gas worked really hard to deliver games that don’t have a lot of bugs, and AC Origins is a great example. So yes, we can expect some great things from Far Cry 5, not to mention that it’s really close now.

Location
As we mentioned earlier, the game takes place in Montana, in the US. It’s in the West, so you do have that as a new element. It’s not the ultimate location for a game, but it does make sense. You have mountains, lots of forests, rivers and at the same time there are multiple unique locations in the game world. Far Cry 5 seems to go beyond its regular reach to make the experience as

rewarding as possible. And it does that with great results. The best thing about it is that it doesn’t rush you into anything either, which is a plus.

The story is obviously about a cult that’s run by multiple brothers and they are running the entire region. They are stopping all ideas of freedom, so people are very limited in regards to what they can say, feel or enjoy. That’s why Far Cry 5 makes a lot of sense here, because it offers ideas and stuff that people want to talk about. It’s very interesting and fun, but at the same time the game is very political. Which may not be the first intention of the developers, yet it does work quite well in this context.

Gameplay
The major change here is that the game doesn’t have the tower mechanic anymore. That’s really different, as it basically became an icon for the game. In addition, they are adding in cooperative multiplayer. Your friends can drop in or out as they see fit, and that can be quite a great experience to be had.

You can also call your allies in order to join you in battle, and that on its own is very interesting as well. They offer you a multitude of options, not to mention that the developers also include mini games and other cool stuff. So, the location named Hope County is set to have quite a lot of fun moments.

Unlike the other games that had a rather linear story, here you can choose to free roam as you see fit. The idea here is that you get to play whenever and however you want. It’s a lot easier because you have multiple different headquarters for the same cult, and they are run by a specific boss. So, you can do missions for that one, and if you’re bored you can go to the next one. It makes sense, and it definitely offers a great range of new opportunities for you to enjoy and explore.

Side missions are a part of the game too. From the mini games to some stuff that will give you experience and rewards, there are tons of missions you can try out. Some of them will actually be very challenging, others not so much. But again, it’s the intensity of the game that pays off very well, and that’s where you will be more than interested to see the results and the experience.

The fact that you have guns for hire is interesting, and it does open up some new gameplay opportunities. In addition, the cooperative gameplay is a lot more interested. People wanted to have Far Cry coop for a while, and this is the first one that will finally deliver on that promise. It’s a nice change of pace for sure, and you can easily interact and cooperate with the other players to enjoy the game as you see fit. It’s certainly a great idea and an enjoyable one for sure.

Far Cry 5 isn’t a huge departure from the series, and it doesn’t try to be one either. Instead, it tries to bring in as much fun and excitement as possible. Honestly, it does that, but it also brings in some really good questions and challenges along the way. People that love unique gameplay mechanics will love Far Cry 5, as it does feature some new stuff, including a pet that can be used in combat. Not only that, but you also have airplanes, something that went missing from the other games.

The arsenal is bigger, the game world is very good and intense, and the overall gameplay mechanics are just a pleasure to enjoy and use. It’s easy to see that Ubisoft cares about the Far Cry franchise. Of course, the premise is a bit controversial, but the entire experience and gameplay as a whole are well worth your time, you can rest assured of it!
