The Far Cry<\/em> games<\/a> have become fan-favourites thanks to their ability to find a balance between bombastic action and tactical strategy; and Far Cry 5<\/em><\/a> is no different. Ubisoft is back with their biggest, most refined, and gorgeous\u00a0Far Cry<\/em> game to date, that both longtime fans and newcomers will enjoy.<\/p>\n

The game\u00a0turns its back on the tropical islands and exotic foreign locations that the franchise is known for, and shifts focus to Hope County, Montana \u2013 an unassuming, gritty chunk of middle America. However, like with all Far Cry<\/em> games, nothing is as it initially seems. Hostile religious extremists have a stranglehold on the region, and it’s up to you and a motley crew of resistance fighters to chip away at the zealots and their warped plans. The story and hyper-religious themes are enjoyable dressings for the action, which in itself is as solid as ever \u2013\u00a0the shooting mechanics are punchy, the exploration elements are all there. This is a Far Cry<\/em> game that knows exactly what it’s good at.<\/p>\n
