Far Cry 6 Reviews

Professional reviews from gaming critics

I treat the mainline Far Cry games as some of my favorite dumb fun comfort food in gaming. I usually despise their spinoffs, with Primal being one of the most boring AAA games I’ve played this generation. Although, when it comes to giving me a sandbox full of guns, wildlife, explosions, and a charismatic dictator to murder, I always look forward to playing them, despite the shortcomings that usually come with a staple “open world Ubisoft game”. Far Cry 6 might actually be the culminatio...

“Far Cry 6 could be the most interesting and complex game Ubisoft has made in recent times.”

Oct 13, 2021

Make no mistakes; Far Cry 6 is, without a doubt, the best Far Cry game in a long time. The game brings back the exotic locations we’ve been missing since Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4 and adds yet another charismatic antagonist to its storied pantheon of villains. But more importantly, it’s a joy to play, with a unique arsenal full of character and breadth of content that is not only comprehensive but engaging.

Far Cry 6 plunges players into the heart of a modern-day guerrilla revolution set in Yara, a tropical paradise frozen in time.

If Far Cry 3 was the last game you really got into, or the modern Far Cry formula is your meaty open-world experience of choice that somehow never loses its potency, you’ll find a lot of comfort in Far Cry 6. Otherwise, get to it when you get to it, and try not to burn out.

Far Cry 6 is more of the same, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you've loved the previous games in the series.

Far Cry 6 is fun, there’s no doubt about that. Yara is a fantastic backdrop, and if you enjoy mindlessly shooting stuff up, you’ll absolutely be in your element. You probably won’t really care much for Dani’s story though, and the game’s tonal dissonance can be somewhat off-putting. But lean into the mayhem and you’ll have a good enough time, even if you don’t remember much about it once you’ve turned the game off.

Far Cry 6 finds the series at its most complacent and stale, showing little desire to push things forward and missing the mark when it comes to its story and villain. And yet, despite the tired recipe, there’s still an adequately enjoyable first-person shooter underneath that manages to offer the freedom expected of it and make popping the heads of countless dumb opponents feel satisfying.

As it happens, though I played for much longer, I had had more than my fill after the first four hours, with no desire to venture back in.

For a game all about revolution, Far Cry 6 does little to evolve the aging series, but at least your dog can ride in your car.

Far Cry is one of the most popular video games series in the world. I’ve been playing the series since Far Cry 3 and I’ve never been disappointed. The open-world environment, story, characters, Far Cry 6 weapons, and the amount of freedom you get is something that keeps you attached to the game. And just recently, Far Cry 6 came out and I had to instantly jump straight into it. If you already got the game, make sure to go through Best Far Cry 6 Settings as well.

The story in Far Cry 6 falls flat for me. Usually, it’s the rote gameplay loop that is the killer in these games, redeemed by a great story and interesting setting. Not this time. The only thing keeping me going was the £50 I spent and Camila Cabello’s Havana stuck in my head as I rode horseback through the Cuban-- Ahem, I mean Yaran streets.
