Funny, but sloppy.įar Cry 6 is made for co-op, incorporating the same drop-in drop-out system that we saw in Far Cry 5. Seeing Guapo the Alligator Usain Bolting it to keep up with my car had me in tears. It’s also pretty sloppy how the Amigos suddenly move at high speed to keep up to you while driving or sailing around. However, while I loved having these good boys around, especially Chorizo the dachshund, I found myself forgetting about them during later missions. They can distract or take down a few enemies for you, which can be useful in the earlier stages of the game. These are animal companions who will assist you on missions. Dani’s best friendĪnother highlight to the gameplay is the Amigos system. It’s just a shame that these weapons didn’t feature more in the main story, as I feel like unlocking them through main missions would have really spiced things up, but they’re instead locked behind a currency earned through side missions. The nailgun returns here and is great for stealth, while the fireworks rocket launcher comes in handy for dealing with helicopters and tanks. The Resolver weapons are homemade guns that can be tremendously powerful. They can be made to fire a barrage of auto-targeting missiles, filled with a drug that causes the player to be faster and get an unstoppable melee attack, send out a big burst of energy, and more. Supremos are extraordinarily powerful weapons contained in the player’s backpack. What should be the stars of the show in gameplay are the Supremo abilities and Resolver weapons. Combine this with the seemingly unimproved AI and there’s little satisfaction in taking soldiers down. It slows the pacing all the way down, with enemies transforming into sponges, and feels like a feature that was implemented for the sake of it. Having to match up an ammo type against the enemy you are facing just isn’t a fun mechanic. However, the Rock, Paper, Scissors ammo type system puts a major downer on things. I was regularly switching out newly-unlocked guns and they all felt great to use. Far Cry 6 does an excellent job in this department, with plenty of guns to unlock and customize with various attachments. Once you get to the mission marker, it’s time to sneak around for a bit before “going loud” and laying waste with your arsenal of weapons. I eventually learned that I could just spawn in mid-air at a fast travel point and skydive to each new mission to save time. There are side mission activities to take the checkpoints for yourself and destroy the AA guns, but I’m not a fan of having to divert from the main mission path, especially for the same repetitive task. Later, I got a helicopter, which is shot down by enemy anti-air guns. I eventually opted for the latter, as vehicles get their tires spiked at enemy checkpoints. Traversing the map is initially done by vehicle or horseback. You’re given three missions to start in any order and then sent on your way. When you complete the prologue and escape the initial island, it’s overwhelming just how much space becomes accessible to you. That’s a huge mapįar Cry 6’s map is massive. It’s a shame as Antón and his son Diego do experience some interesting developments, but there’s no big payoff. The levity resulting from the constant jokes and banter was too much for me, ultimately undermining the overarching plot. The rest of the cast is good, too, with Yara’s populace boasting a lot of variety and vibrancy in its characters, even if this also has the unfortunate side-effect of filing down the edges of its dark story. His performance here almost matches the intensity of Breaking Bad’s Gus, his star-making role, and he is a real treat to watch. The dictator, Antón Castillo, is played by Giancarlo Esposito who, once he starts appearing more frequently at about five hours in, is fantastic. Guerrilla warfareįar Cry 6 puts players in the shoes of a bloodthirsty modern-day guerrilla fighter going up against the dictator in charge of Yara, a fictional Caribbean island.

However, while Far Cry 6 does have the staple arsenal of guns, open world, big villain, and full-featured co-op, this installment disappointingly fails to evolve the series in any meaningful way. There’s normally very little standing in the way of fun, especially when a co-op buddy joins the fight. FAR CRY 6 REVIEW FOR PC, PS5, PS4, XBOX SERIES X|S, AND XBOX ONE.įar Cry games are usually a safe choice for satisfying first-person shooter action taking place in a big open world, with a story driven by an exceptionally charismatic villain who loosely ties things together.
