Review round up so far
“The wilderness of Montana isn’t as exotic a playground, but it’s just as full of things to do”.
IGN – Review in progress – 8.9/10
“A competent yet conflicted open worlder.”
“The best the series has been since 2012.”
“Despite some brief irritations and missed opportunities with its narrative, spending time in the world of Hope County remains absolutely delightful.”
Gamespot – Review in progress – 9/10
“Far Cry 5 is mechanically sound and varied. You’ll find something that entertains you, and Ubisoft has nailed all of the underlying elements of character and world progression. At the same time, it squanders some decent writing because it can’t decide what kind of game it is.”
Gamesbeat – 85/100
