6th, 2021 by Ubisoft Toronto and is the sixth installment of the Far Cry series.Like in previous Far Cry games, Yara’s landmass is immense and nearly claustrophobia-inducing with things to do or tasks to complete, all of them earning experience or crafting materials, or opening up new paths and even more side quests.
#FAR CRY 6 REVIEW SERIES#
I would recommend this game for those who love the Far Cry series or those who can overlook its few flaws. While “Far Cry 6” is a fun romp through a country amid a revolution, it suffers from the sins of those who came before.

However, the gaming community is full of new games that touch on these political themes and this seasoned series just does not seem to make the grade. Revolutions, gun violence and ingenuity are all hot topics today, and “Far Cry 6” touches on each in turn. While the relationship between Castillo and his son adds an interesting angle to his character, a more dynamic antagonist would have been a welcome change in this edition. Castillo attempts to implement his mindset on Diego, but his efforts could go either way. The most compelling part of Castillo’s arc is his 13-year-old son Diego, who represents the complicated future of Yara. Castillo is not necessarily a bad villain, but I personally did not feel any different about him as the game’s story progresses.
“Far Cry 6” sadly does not do much to break this mold. If there is one major issue with the “Far Cry” series, it is that the villains often try to impart some profound message, but still come across as disappointingly one-dimensional. The game’s soundtrack reflects this by playing recognizable hits like “The Macarena,” even including a weapon called “The Macarena Gun.” The game’s music includes a mix of popular South American music between these overplayed numbers, which is a nice touch.
“Far Cry 6” features a notable Caribbean feel, with the developer stating that the game is loosely based on modern-day Cuba. Throughout 25+ hours of gameplay, I only experienced a few minor glitches, with only one major event where I had to reset as my character fell out of the virtual world. The game runs surprisingly well even on last generation consoles, although load times are noticeably longer on older systems. The side quests are bogged down with long travel time and little narrative drive to keep them interesting. The driving is first person, and while more realistic, it leads to issues like motion sickness and sensitive controls. However, aspects like driving controls and side quests feel somewhat rushed and reminiscent of 2012, not a 2021 triple-A game. For example, the crocodile, Guapo, will attack guards and defend the player in battle and a weiner dog, Chorizo, rides in a wheelchair. These tactics are improved with the buddy system, which allows Dani to call on an animal companion for help. The gameplay is layered, often giving the player several choices for to handle a situation: with stealth or a more run and gun approach. The player starts the game with a pistol but can gain an arsenal of weapons and tools to aid in the revolution. The player meets many allies along the way, as the game presents them with three primary paths to follow in any order that they wish, scaling difficulty as the player progresses. Dani can be male or female depending on the player’s preference. The player steps into the role of guerrilla soldier, Dani, who attempts to overthrow Anton Castillo (played by Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito), the dictator of Yara, a fictitous country. However, the new “Far Cry 6” lacks ambition and stays true to its roots, for better or worse. Storylines have gotten richer, characters more dynamic and graphics more realistic.
It has been exciting to see adventure shooter games progress since the Xbox360 and PS3.
