Far Cry® 5

There is just something satisfying with sniper rifle shots killing fanatical religious cultists in this one. I spent so many hours in it doing everything that I could find to do. Beautiful game and plenty of plot twists. The ending is pure OMG. Best iteration of the ubisoft far cry formula yet!

better than 3, can go fishing, game nya bagus bang aku suka.

Played through this game 3 times, It gives music great meaning, and is scarily good. Cheeseburger

My personal favourite Far Cry game, great fun in co-op and worth revisiting every once in a while for the beautiful map and simple yet fun combat.

Its a great game, I enjoy the American setting, however the endings are quite unfortunate. Joseph Seed is just a weirdo. Once again typical Far Cry formulae but it is enjoyable. DLC wise the Mars DLC was fun but very simple, same with the Vietnam DLC. The Zombies DLC I really enjoyed, they came up with some cool stories involving the Far Cry characters. That tractor came in Clutch. Arcade Mode was buggy as hell and hardly worked. Good Game.

Be aware it has Denovu and Ubisoft's garbage with it. I'm not even sure why Uplay is so bad now, but it is...

The game itself was kind of fun. The missions aren't very unique, but that didn't bother me entirely. Some of the cut scenes and drug stuff was just annoying (likes basically all drug induced character play in any game, not fun game makers, not fun).

It's not quite making me replay it really though. Part of that might be the sort of annoying story things, especially the drugged stuff. That and I'll never install the steam version again.

Far Cry 5 offers a vast and lively open world with stunning landscapes and a gripping story about fighting a fanatical cult. The gameplay combines strategic combat, free exploration, and varied missions that keep the action fresh. Memorable characters and a co-op mode make the experience even more fun. The graphics and sound are top-notch, and multiple ways to approach missions give you plenty of freedom. Some moments can feel repetitive, but overall it’s a very engaging game for open-world fans.

Pros:

Detailed and immersive open world

Interesting and well-written story

Fun and useful co-op mode

Excellent graphics and sound

Cons:

Some repetitive missions

AI can be predictable at times

needs to be fixed you cant brake in the game which is sad for an old game like this one Ubisoft needs to do better when it comes to maintaining old game of theirs people still enjoy playing these classics

great game. wish it was significantly optomized for low end pcs.

Far Cry always seems to be slightly looked down on by the RPG community. Despite the hundreds of side quests, the large open world and the absolutely bonkers characters it never seems to get the accolades that Fallout, Elder Scrolls and Mass Effect apparently merit. Far Cry 5 though is another banger game: its not quite up there with FC 4 for me as the map is very similar in terms of aesthetics and it doesn't have the obvious different biospheres that existed in FC4. Apart from that though the usual FC elements are all here crazed meglomaniacs, resistance movements, outposts to capture etc. The gameplay is just what you'd expect: guns, throwing knives, bows, grenades: play like you're in Call of Duty or stealth around like Solid Snake. The characters of Hurk and the lizard-like CIA operative Willis are here and there are some new gonzo personalities such as Hurk's dad, the film director Guy Marvel and a bull's testicle obsessed chef.
The enemies are all members of the same David Koresh style cult and you get to capture their zone of the map individually, much like capturing the areas of the three region governors in FC4. There's loads of local colour from random conversations and plenty of notes and collectables which really add to the story's background, I had an absolute blast playing this: there's so much to do and given how often its discounted to less than £10 definitely pick it up.

storyline is great, the gunplay is quite enjoyable, and there is no pay to win bullshit at play. definitely my favorite of the series. overall, its a really good game with a ton of things to find and do. a huge map for only 75gb of data

This is a good game. Gameplay and scenery wise it is up there with my personal favorite of Far Cry 3. The story is also good although there are somethings i found.... questionable. Nevertheless well worth the money and great game overall. I miss the radio towers to unlock the map though, this method of unlocking the map was not it.

8/10

this is one of those slop AAA games that is more fun watching a YouTube playthrough of in 3 hours rather than actually playing. its all fetch quests or go here and kill this quests and the only mildly interesting thing is the main story which is hampered by the convenient writing that gets really annoying at times.

Game kills you if you decide to test your weaponry out on the townsfolk. Also the game doesn't allow you to choose capslock for crouch.

I can't even get into the game. It doesn't work, and Steam is refusing a refund.

Far Cry 5 drops you in Montana with a wild cult, chaotic NPCs, and a bear named Cheeseburger who’s literally your bestie. The vibes? Unmatched. You get to blow stuff up, squad up with a dog, and cause mayhem in a world that looks straight out of an aesthetic Instagram feed.

The story is unhinged, the side missions are meme-worthy, and the whole game is just a big “main character energy” moment. If you want a game that’s extra, messy, and iconic, this is it.

Rating: 4.5/5 — Would let Cheeseburger tank for me again. No cap.

Best Far Cry game by far confused by how it runs tho a bit slow still great tho

♬⋆.˚ absolute banger of a game: great characters, great ost, great enviroment.. its just a shame ubi is ass now

only thing I dislike is that the game basically forces you to become a poacher with the simple fact that you can no longer find things on people to sell. and the selling part is weird too because even with the limit of only being able to carry 10 of each animal pelt, you don't even get a lot of money like for 10 black bear pelts you only get around 1,000 which is crazy because you have to go out of your way to hunt animals and to get 10 is even longer

It is recommended to play only the main story, the playing experience decreases as the game play time increases.

wanted to 100% all the farcry games but infamous mode is near impossible on the prologue because of that one car section is all luck based so Id rather just sit on a slot machine for 2 hours and would have better luck than I do beating this stupid car part. Im just going to play the mars dlc thing and then never touch this game again.

among the better far cry games, with some of their best antagonists yet. interesting gimmicks that don't let themselves get stale with relatively good progression and the possibility to approach the game and it's missions in several different ways. not bad!

Dilebrately the best far cry game out there!. The story is so well written and you get to face off four villains each having thier own ways to fight, i would highly recommend this game. And now that steam achievements are being introduced to this game it'll be more fun to play

The story starts off strong with Joseph Seed and his fanatical family, and honestly? They’re some of the most memorable villains I’ve seen in a game. Whether you love or hate them, they get under your skin—in that classic Far Cry way. The narrative takes some wild turns, and the ending... well, let's just say it left me staring at the screen for a solid minute.

Gameplay-wise, it’s your typical Far Cry formula—but it’s been refined. Gunplay feels great, stealth is satisfying when it works (and hilarious when it doesn’t), and the AI is... creative. Sometimes too creative.
Co-op is a blast with a friend, though beware: progress only counts for the host, so plan accordingly. Also, the world is full of distractions, so don’t expect to stay on mission for long. Side quests, fishing, arcade mode, random chaos... it’s all here.
📌 Pros:

Massive, beautiful open world

Fun and flexible combat

Great soundtrack and voice acting

Boomer is best boy

Plenty of freedom to play your way

📌 Cons:

AI can be a bit... enthusiastic

Some repetitive missions

Story pacing can feel uneven at times

Overall, Far Cry 5 is chaotic, wild, and absolutely worth diving into—especially if you enjoy games where things constantly explode and somehow a turkey is your most feared enemy.

TL;DR: Far Cry 5 is fun but formulaic. It sticks too closely to Far Cry 3 and 4, with some annoying forced missions. Decent overall, get it on sale.

Far Cry 5 delivers a familiar experience, closely following the formula established by Far Cry 3 and 4. The open-world design, first-person action, and progression systems remain largely unchanged, which can be enjoyable for returning fans but may feel repetitive to others.

While the game features a visually impressive world and offers some entertaining moments, it also suffers from a few frustrating design choices, such as forced boss encounters and randomly triggered missions that interrupt the flow of exploration.

Overall, it’s a decent game that can be fun in bursts, but it doesn't bring enough innovation to stand out. Worth picking up, just wait for a good sale.

just say...YES!

A pretty solid addition to the Far Cry series. My personal favourite due to the environment and the more 'grounded' (to a degree) story...god dam Peggies!!

The atmosphere of the game is great and fun. Amazing soundtrack, good villains and side characters. The only thing that bothered me about this game is that when you want to do side quests, the game literally forces you to go through the main game story. Then you don't even want to go back to the quests. Otherwise, a great game with a solid story.

The far cry 5 has good storylines and good gameplay good ending as well and its best far cry game in the series of far cry

Браво. Сделали гораздо лучше, чем Пердёж Край 3.
Не нужно дрочить вышки, карта уже показана и прорисована.
Делай, что хочешь в открытом мире и ведут тебя только за ручку, разве что, насильно в сюжетные миссии.
Составляющая шутера тоже лучше, много интересного оружия, из ДЛЦ особенно.
Много транспорта, хорошее и веселое управление самолетами и вертолетами.
Много хороших сайд-квестов, особенно Clutch Nixon с его трюками в воздухе.
В целом, плюсов достаточно, лень перечислять.

Минусы:
Очередные БРОНИРОВАННЫЕ противники в шутере, в которых нужно стрелять пока не уснешь сам;
Бесполезные союзники, из них 2-3 только норм, остальные либо как мясо, либо чтобы очки перков с них взять с челленджа и всё;
ИИ иногда творит лютую хуйню, хоть и смешную, но всё же;
Из-за насильного запуска сюжетных миссий можно пропустить некоторое количество сайд-квестов, особенно при запуске босс-файтов с лидерами региона

Особо на ум больше приходит ничего, только разве что это гораздо лучше 3 части, которую коронуют "последней лучшей" с "пиздатым злодеем", хотя здесь лучше, особенно учесть если концовку "Resist". Лучшая и хорошая концовка, достойная. Да и 3 прихвостня Джозефа тоже неплохи были

What a journey it was. Oh and if you beat the game, it's not the end. You still have an option to play Custom Maps. Or make your own. I love games that give you ability to create and play. It literally makes the game's world seem infinite.

Everyone's got their own taste, but this game just feels like a straight-up copy of Far Cry 4, and honestly, it gets boring after a while. That said, Far Cry 3 is still the best one, hands down.

Spoilers ahead, blocked out!

One of my favourite Far Cry games. Both in story and gameplay. Couldn't get enough. Couldn't recommend it enough. The Father is such a compelling antagonist, and the fact he is right about his ramblings in the end adds the cherry on top to my obsession over this story. I agree cutscenes could've been merged smoother between gameplay and cutscene, and I agree that Faiths drug usage is repetitive in both this game AND every other Far Cry game at this point. But Jacobs passion, Johns trust, and Faiths,,, faith, is just too compelling for me to ignore.

The game isn't for everyone, and the region liberation metre you are required to fill to continue the story can get understandably irritating if you're only wanting more Joseph Seed family story, but I still would HIGHLY push all to play this. If you're a Far Cry fan, if you're a sucker for a good story, its worth the purchase 100%.

HOWEVER, for achievement Hunters , like myself. The condition Ubisoft has left this game in is absolutely horrid.

140hrs in game, 80 of which spent on achievements.

Vietnam DLC was fine until you beat it, and if you don't watch the cutscene you don't get the other difficulties unlocked. I figured this out the hard way, and got to play it 7x total (minimum 3 for achievements)

Zombie DLC has a ~5hr achievement that is purely just kill 5000 zombies. Why they would put achievement in the game outside of to add hours is beyond me.

And last but not least, the ARCADE achievements. Holy, S***. What a flustercluck. I cannot write into fathomable words how much of a pain in my rear the game was surrounding these. Bugs, glitches, crashes, disconnections. An absolute disgustingly painful experience. My Co-op partner had to use a bloody VPN to be in my region to avoid one of the achievements. The Arcade Hero crashes if the map has 'unlimited underwater breathing'. It took hours of testing to finally figure out the ridiculously tiny solution that fixed our issue, and even in that it took an hour EACH to get ONE of the SEVEN achievements.

Achievement ramble aside. I'm still excited to hop in to the rest of the saga to get each completion badge.

far cry 5 is a class game but i got 6 popups from ubisoft trying to open the game fuck ubisoft and their shit launcher

I'm not being too harsh on Far Cry 5 because it's not being too harsh on itself. The game doesn't want to be a masterpiece with an emotional and impactful story and revolutionary gameplay. The fact that it's much better than the previous two versions and its new features really work is a blessing in itself. In addition, the game doesn't really leave you alone and does everything it can to send its headless enemies flying into the air for hours. Its map is full of things to do that bring you closer to completing the game 100%, and although not all of its changes were positive, it's not a step backwards for the series at all. On the other hand, the arcade section is very attractively designed and adds completely to the game's longevity. With those three expansion packs, Ubisoft has counted on the game a lot, but like other studios (yes, EA, I'm talking about you), it hasn't delivered an incomplete and broken product. Far Cry could have been a much better game, but "better" is a matter of taste, and perhaps what it is now will appeal to more people. That's the most important thing for a game company. Ubisoft didn't disappoint us with Far Cry 5. That in itself is a great gift!

An amazing game, I got it on sale for $5, and I didn't think it would be much, but oh how I was wrong. The story has its weak points at times, but it gets you too think, is it realistic? Not really, but it has like, this physiological fear or whatever, I don't know, but its just a really good game definitely buy it, very good.

Game was fine until I went to fight faith and it is bugged. Has been bugged since Day 1, Only fix that ubisoft gave was to start a new save and hope it doesn't happen again. I have had game since release and this was my third attempt over the years and have never been able to make it past that fight. I am done attempting at this point.

[OLD REVIEW]

The game's great, it's my favourite Far Cry!
That is, if you take away the fact that I can't play it any more because my Ubisoft account has been hacked and there's absolutely no way of launching the game without it, even though I bought it on MY steam account.
Ubisoft Connect is a load of crap, what are you supposed to do if you lose your Ubisoft account but keep the game in your steam library? I'd love to play it again, especially since steam achievements have been integrated, but I can't.
Thanks Ubisoft.

[NEW REVIEW]

I was able to solve the problem mentioned above. Pro tips if you get hacked and want to get your account back: don't hesitate to send a screenshot of your invoice to Ubisoft support once you completed the account recovery form.

That said, let's talk avout the game :

Far Cry 5 was my first experience with the Far Cry franchise, and it quickly became one of my favorite games. As someone new to the series, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the game exceeded all my expectations in terms of atmosphere, storytelling, and gameplay variety.
The pacing is solid, and even though the structure can feel a bit repetitive at times, the variety of missions and dynamic events in the world kept me engaged. The ending left a strong impression, and it’s stuck with me long after finishing the game.
The setting of Hope County, Montana, is both beautiful and unsettling. The open world feels alive, and the contrast between its peaceful natural landscapes and the violent, cult-dominated chaos makes for a gripping experience. The story is intense and immersive, with strong performances from the cast—especially the antagonists, who are genuinely compelling and disturbing.
Gameplay-wise, the freedom of approach is one of the game’s biggest strengths. Whether I wanted to take a stealthy route or go in loud and explosive, the game gave me the tools and flexibility to play my way. The companion system adds a lot to the experience, and the ability to play the entire campaign in co-op is a great bonus.
Far Cry 5 may not be perfect, but as a first step into the franchise, it was a powerful one. It’s a game I’ll remember for a long time, and it made me excited to explore more from the series.

Of course the game isnt perfect, you'll probably find some glitch, but that's okay.

Majestic game truly a countryside cultist experience with stealth and shock and awe experience while being open world of a map so big you will keep exploring it 9/10 truly recommend

Very immersive and psychological. I highly recommend this game to anyone.

good game. Really fun to play the missions. The graphics looks good. I like the story and the gameplay too.

I liked Far Cry 3.. I really did. Then I played Blood Dragon and that was awesome too. Then after some time I hopped into 4 and I was totally okay with the series repeating the same pattern over and over again because it kinda worked for me.

Tonight I finished Far Cry 5 and I decided not to play a Far Cry game ever again. I don't have time to go into every tiny detail so in short (may contain minor spoilers):

- The gameplay finally managed to get me really bored.
- There are a sh*tload of weapons and guns but 95% of them are useless and you end up using just one or two.
- Perk system seems to be much weaker than the previous games, there's no feeling of progression.
- The villains are raping, poisoning and murdering psychos who happen to be philosophers as well. Prepare to be lectured to death continuously throughout the game. They commit horrible acts but the story doesn't even give you the chance to deal with them in a proper way so you feel accomplished. For the entire campaign, the game makes you feel you are doing something terribly wrong.
- I've been a gamer for 39 years now and this game has the WORST EVER ENDING I've seen so far.
- Not even going into stuff like meaningless fishing/hunting and crafting, poor gunplay etc.

I've endured this one just out of my respect for the series and of curiosity. Even skipped some of the side quests to reach the ending quickly to find out what will happen, which is totally not me. It was terrible and a total waste of time. I feel betrayed.

Stay away if you are looking for a good game with a solid story, relatable characters and a sense of ending.

Ubisoft stole my account and refused to give me a refund or to exchange a new copy. I will NEVER buy a Ubisoft game on PC ever AGAIN!!! 😡😡😡

The game itself is playable with some fun aspects. The plot sucks. Having to play the same part of the plot multiple times for programmer "reasons" make sense from the Ubisoft programmer's standpoint, but the ultimate result was very upsetting. I felt abused and used after finishing that segment and the entire plot. Very disgusting behavior by the programmers - some of whom have been sued in real life for abusive behavior as well as being taken to court by the French government.
Requiring a game loader and a Ubisoft account is another reason to not buy a Ubisoft game.
There is no way I will ever play or purchase another Ubisoft game in the future.

Far Cry 5 is a very fun game with beautiful graphics and full of action. The story is interesting, and you can play in your own style which makes it more enjoyable.

This game is fun... as long as you're okay with the game treating you like a stupid child and ignore the horrid AI and enemies spawning right next to you because numbers = difficulty

Far Cry 5's co-op mode is an absolute dogshit. I mean, when you're playing with a mate, it's only you(HOST) those achievements marked "Solo Campaign Only" on Steam. Meanwhile, your friend is left with barely scraping together a fraction of the achievements you both earn together—just about 20% + of them, all tagged as "Campaign Only." And if that wasn't enough, only the host's game progress sticks. Your friend mission progress, weapons, and upgrade skills just vanish when he's back to his game again or connect to your world. It's this FREAKY system that really ruins the co-op experience. Classic Ubisoft :)

It was okay. Runs decent on steam deck. Only flying is a bit laggy.

My Personal Favourite Far Cry Game.

I love the setting and I found the game to overall be more fun then 3 or 4. Only problem is its TAA is awful. The game either looks to blurry or too sharp which is a pain on the eyes

Far Cry 5 – это идеальный шутер для тех, кто любит исследовать, взрывать и просто весело проводить время! Определенно стоит своего внимания!
