    Frustratingly, Far Cry New Dawn doesn't deliver in any real way. It doesn't pay off Far Cry 5's ending. It doesn't offer new spins on the Far Cry formula. It doesn't even offer players an escape from money woes. It's just another Far Cry, and that's just not enough anymore.

    All in all, New Dawn shows a lot of potentials, but it doesn’t have enough room for all these new ideas to flourish. Neither of the new mechanics isn’t fully realized, including RPG elements, weapons, plot, or characters. Of course, fighting through the Hope County is still very entertaining, but it is largely because over the great combat model inherited from Far Cry 5. New Dawn is a formidable but forgettable spin-off that radiates wasted potential.

    Whilst it’s lacking in story content and comes with a questionable mission structure, there’s much to like about New Dawn. The gameplay remains fluid and responsive throughout, with no shortage of memorable moments born through its nonstop action, as well as its broad variation of unique opportunities. That said, once the game’s grind-wall kicks in towards the end, you’ll start feeling less like a liberator, and more like a liberator’s butler.

    The setting is both fun and interesting to explore, the expeditions add a new layer, and while not as important as some other games, the RPG elements at least point players in the right direction for improving. Sure, it’s another Far Cry game, but that’s never been a bad thing to me. Pick it up for you’re looking for a smaller scale Far Cry adventure with a few new twists thrown in.

    Far Cry: New Dawn can quite easily provide a weekend of fun, but when it comes to recalling your favourite games of 2019, don't expect to remember this post-apocalyptic adventure. Its streamlined RPG elements do add some welcome structure, but this trek through Hope County may seem familiar to a fault. It's almost a shame that Ubisoft didn't go all-in on making New Dawn a totally over-the-top spin-off, rather than a sequel that struggles to tell an all-too-serious story.

    Far Cry New Dawn is an interesting experiment for the franchise. While it borrows some mechanics from the Ubisoft family that feel out of place and suffers from frustrating padding, the core Far Cry experience might be enough to tide you over once it finally gets going.

    Far Cry New Dawn

    Visual top tier, tp gameplay bikin meninggal. Banyak bug, npc being npc, final boss paling ga ngotak. Akhirnyaaaa game dajal ini kelaaaar. gue udah terlanjur terjebak secara cerita di series game far cry ini sejak kemunculan Pak Joseph Seed yaitu series sebelumnya, kyk perlu tau gt kelanjutannya akan gimana. Tp yaampun, gue masuk ke dunia yg indah tpbanyak WHY nya. Kyk yg gue blg td visualnya bener bener keren bgt dah, ini indah banget emang. Tapi pas masuk ke gameplay, udahlah. Bug keknya sering gue temuin di tiap misi nya deh, npc bener bener npc selayaknya npc kaku bgt. Bener bener gak ada mimik wajah yg berubah pas ada scene ngomong, dll. Dan yang paling gue kesel ada lah lawan raja-raja terakhirnya. Iya raja-raja, ada duaaaa anjirrr capek bgt. Udh gitu gue bukan tipe yg ngecraft, grind nyari bahan dll gt yakan. jdnya bener bener senjata gue gembelan lawan raja anjir. Hhhhh ini raja terakhir paling gamasuk akal selama gue main game, abisss otak gue dibikin stress. Dan soal storynya nih yg paling gue tunggu, malahan yaaa menurut gue sih kyk simple bgt dan mencoba utk ngada ngada aja ceritanya. Masa gue lawan raja gorilla wtf… Joseph jd tobat udh gitu doang….. fvk kata gue teh

    This is the sequel to the Far Cry 5 game. This game is sold as a standalone title as a continuation to what happened after the Far Cry 5 ending, but it never feels like a standalone game but more like a DLC. The campaign is just 8 hours long and mostly grinding. The location is set 17 years into the future after the post-apocalypse and the map is just recycled. You upgrade your home base to unlock more weapons and health. The saw launcher weapon is the only good weapon in this game. The villains are two twin sisters which are not as good as the other memorable villains in the Far Cry series. The only good thing about this game is the characters returning from the previous game.
