Far Cry New Dawn - PlayStation 4

If you've played Far Cry 5 then you were probably left wondering what exactly happened after the end credits. Well, New Dawn attempts to pick up the story 17 years after the original game's ending. I'll say that after playing through the original game, I didn't expect the route the developers took with the sequel. Without giving away spoilers, this game left me a bit disappointed. I really can't say why without spoiling the story so I'll just leave it at that. Gameplay is entertaining and much like the FC5 so if you liked that, you'll be satisfied with this. The NPC's are amusing and will have you laughing with their off-the-wall one liners and snarky comments. The problem lies with the length of the game and the amount of content available. The main missions are short and could have been fleshed out. Then again, this game is only 40 dollars so I should have expected a shorter campaign.

Not quite a sequel, not quite DLC, Far Cry New Dawn is some sort of unholy amalgam of the two that perfectly represents this age in gaming: a video game that manages to rip you off with its small size and disappoint you with its small amount of content, all while pretending to be a new entry in a storied franchise. Don't believe it. The game has maybe 40% of the content of FC5, without any of that game's surprisingly great story or characters. In this one you are simply tasked with taking down two post-apocalypse baddies and... that's it. No intrigue, no cool new gameplay elements. Just go over there, shoot, and come home. This would have been a fine addition to a $20 season pass. Instead, I'd just give it a pass, period.

I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to Far Cry 5... Although, it's not nearly as long as any of the other Far Cry games in the past, it's still familiar and quite entertaining!!! The colors of this game really pop!!! If you're a fan of the Far Cry games, you'll definitely enjoy this one!!! If you're on PlayStation look me up @ MKE_56...I don't mind helping you out...I got the Platinum on this game in just 2 days...Anywho, don't just take my word for it... Pick up a copy, load up and good 'Ol Hurk Jr. will definitely entertain you if nothing else... Take care and bless up, always!!!

Very great game! I've been having fun since I finally got it yesterday from Best Buy's very slow shipping service and then getting it on the day after estimated delivery. That's the only issue I have is because of slow shipping. Other then that, I love the game, love the graphics and the side story of the aftermath with the nuclear explosion. Crafting is fun as well, I've always loved playing stealthy. To the people saying this wasn't good, aren't fans of the series and maybe was expecting too much of a expansion. Overall, 5/5 from me.

The long and short of it... if you liked Far Cry 5, you'll like New Dawn. It's a continuation of the story and a tweaking of several gameplay features. It builds more of a crafting system too, which is a fun addition. The only reason I don't give this 5 stars is because it was something fairly easy and simple for Ubisoft to make and is a cash grab. It feels lazy of them to do, but is still fun. Feels a little contradictory to say that, but hey. Just my opinion. Happy looting!

I was a little skeptical when I first saw New Dawn thinking it was just a quick cash-in using Far Cry 5 assets, but after having played it I was wrong. New Dawn does enough to separate itself from Far Cry 5, but still retaining the feel of it. The story is done well, but the sisters don’t make very good villains when compared to previous ones. There’s enough content here to keep you busy for 20-30 hours and for the lower price it’s not hard for me to recommend for players who want to experience the aftermath of Far Cry 5.

Let me clear the air first, I LOVE the Farcry brand. Some were certainly better than others and the pinicle was Farcry 3. Farcry 5 came as a close second, but this is the first time in the Series that a new game takes on the effects and direct aftermath of the game before. This game is directly following the events of Farcry 5's world ending bombing. New Dawn is good, real good. It does play in Montana but there are other locations as well, and while I have not finished the game yet, I am fully engaged and enjoying it.

I had recently played Far Cry 5 not realizing that this was a direct sequel also set in Hope County, MT. OnceI realized that, I was even more excited to play this game! Many locations are recognizable and it’s fun to discover them - there’s even a side mission that focuses on this. The game is not perfect, but it’s fun and I’ve enjoyed getting into the Far Cry series. Since it’s shorter than the numbered entries, it’s good that they made it $39.99, and it’s even cheaper with the Gamer’s Club membership.
