Far Cry 6

Far Cry 6 delivers an exciting adventure across a beautiful island. The new weapons and companions add a little more fun to combat for those that prefer to approach problems with guns blazing. The lead villain, Anton Castillo, is one of the most human psychopaths the game has had in its roster of crazy antagonists. Far Cry 6 can sometimes feel like a cut and paste of Far Cry 5 but the experience is still a well-polished barrel of fun.

Far Cry 6 is some of the most fun I’ve had with this series in nearly a decade. Its cast delivers strong performances across an enjoyable story, even if it’s also a fairly predictable one that doesn’t always land the bigger swings it tries to take. And despite some faltering new inventory mechanics and a handful of bizarre design choices, its creative weaponry means taking down an outpost, ransacking a convoy, or even just taking a ride with a buddy has never felt better.

This is a game that understands the importance of fighting back against fascism and taking a stand as part of your own personal revolution, yet it’s often held back by gameplay that wants to distance itself from that idea as you fawn over cute puppies and fire off outlandish grenade launchers. Yet it’s still a start, and a bold step forward for a company that has long sat on the fence of political discussion. If you’re after more Far Cry, this delivers and pushes the formula forward into exciting new territory.
