Yara is both enormous and absolutely beautiful, featuring some of the most incredible vistas you're likely to find in any video game this year. Luckily though, the open world fun of Far Cry 6 is as good as it ever was. Which is fine when you're out mowing down your 20th soldado outpost in a row armed only with a solid gold grenade launcher and the help of your pet crocodile Guapo, but not all that interesting when it comes to investing in Far Cry 6's story. Dani always has a quip, is never under pressure and always knows exactly what to do. You're now a T-1000 striding through Yara, firing rockets from your nuclear backpack whilst conjuring an almost unlimited arsenal of weaponry out of thin air. You're no longer a Jason Brody, finding your way, learning your skills and simply fighting to live. An unfortunate side effect of that, however, is that where story is concerned, Far Cry 6 has lost a lot of the tension of previous games. As a result, as an open world sandbox, Far Cry 6 is a lot of fun. The developers at Ubisoft want you to feel powerful, they want you to feel like a badass, and so they've leaned into the chaos, the explosions and the epic, wacky battles. Availability: Out October 7th on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Stadia, PS4 and PS5.Dani Rojas is ex-military, instantly proficient in all weapons and vehicles, and a natural, but reluctant leader. With Far Cry 6, we see the culmination of that ideology - Ubisoft boasts that on Yara, you'll be made to feel like a single Guerilla fighter taking up the space of an entire army. More recent Far Cry's have progressively steered away from 3's set-up, making each protagonist more and more of a one-person war machine - it's less about survival of the individual and more about the survival of a revolution.

Underskilled, outnumbered and stranded on a strange lump of rock and moss with the psychotic Vaas hot on your heels, it always felt like you were one tiny step away from tragedy and an untimely death.

It cast likeable jock douche Jason Brody as a fish out of water, learning to survive in the jungles and beaches of the Rook Islands. There's plenty that's familiar about the latest entry in Ubisoft's open world shooter, but that doesn't stop it being a blast.įor many fans, Far Cry 3 was the pinnacle of the Far Cry experience.
