After finishing Far Cry 5, I was SO happy to find out there's a sequel! I love how they continued the story.

Far Cry New Dawn is a first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. The game is a spin-off of the Far Cry series and a narrative sequel to Far Cry 5. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 15, 2019, and received generally mixed reviews from critics. The game is a bit smaller than the FC5 map, but they give you a ton of stuff to do, and it’s worth the $39 price tag, might be a $20 game by this holiday season, overall a fun open world shooter once again.

Despite New Dawn utilizing the same engine and graphics from FC5, it's still a pleasant surprise to feel like a new adventure; the new color palette breathes new life in a post-apocalyptic world of Hope county. While the two new antagonists can't hold a candle to the previous game's villains, The Family, the storyline is engaging enough to see how things have changed after the nuclear disaster, meeting back up with some of your favorite sidekicks from before. Every element that made Far Cry 5 great remains. You can't go wrong here.

This game is more of an expansion of the first instead of a standalone game. The map looks big at first, since it's the one from Far Cry 5, except it only uses a small portion. The story is mediocre and very short. In fact, if you played through it quickly you could probably beat it in 4 hours. That doesn't mean it's bad. If you play with a friend it makes it much, much better and less of a grind. It's not a perfect game, but the visuals are terrific. Bright and vivid colors in a post apocalyptic world isn't the norm, and I loved that. So overall it's a good, but not great game. I'd probably wait until it was around $20. Even $30-40 is a bit much.

Overall, I think Far Cry New Dawn is a decent game. It doesn't really bring anything new to the series and seems like it it just a standalone expansion to Far Cry 5 that's kind of short. Would recommend buying when it's on sale again for $20 or less.
