Far Cry New Dawn

Far Cry New Dawn might be a spinoff game, but it’s sure to have a lasting impact on what we think of when Far Cry comes to mind

Far Cry New Dawn recycles the same general setting from last year's Far Cry 5, but this time with a post-apocalyptic twist and healthy injection of creative, colorful, and bombastic content.

Far Cry New Dawn brings the apocalypse to Hope County, Montana. Here is our review of this insane spin-off...

After the explosive ending to Far Cry 5, we didn’t expect to see the franchise grace our screens again for some time, let alone take us back to Hope County. Far Cry New Dawn is a fresh step for the series, taking a chance on the post-apocalyptic side with their unique take of the “superbloom” after so many years without human interference.

You shovel it into your mouth and admittedly it can be difficult to stop until the bag is empty, but you'll barely remember eating it once you've sat down and had a real dinner.
