I first tried the Far Cry series with Far Cry 4. I played the game for a total of an hour. This game is much better and very addictive. I’m not a person who plays a game more than a couple of hours a day. I keep catching myself getting lost in this game for hours. The Co-Op feature is great so I can play with friends and solo if I want. The game creators kept the game fresh by changing different mission types in all regions. Which makes the game more fun and not just repeating same mission in a different region. It’s a game that can’t be played in a day. It can be enjoyed for weeks if wanted with all the side missions available.

I bought this game for my son. Hes been begging to play GTA so instead I got him this game. Its not so kid friendly due to language but it is an open world game and has a good story as well as great graphics.

Fun game, but FarCry 3 was still better...

Ok... let's just pretend that FarCry 4 never happened. That game sucked because you spent 90% of your time climbing up mountains. Stupid. FarCry 5 is pretty fun. Feels a little too much like a "Just Cause" game... but still fun. Only irritating thing is the stupid cut scenes which transport you aware from the objective you were about to attack and then go on some long drama-filled video bit that you have to defeat to get out of the mystical druggie state and get back to butt-kicking. Am spending a LOT of time on this... and surprisingly liked the game enough (got it from the library) that I bought it when it went on sale at BB. FarCry3 was still better... but not ludicrously so. Skip 4... but buy 5 is my recommendation.

I think this is the most fun I've had playing a game in months. Enjoyed the story elements, the side characters are awesome, gameplay fun, and the bugs can be hilarious.

I want to love this game; however, there are so many bugs that I simply cannot. It plays much like the previous Far Cry games and should be just as enjoyable. Initially there was a problem with weapons disappearing after you would fast travel or die which made the game nearly unplayable. Fortunately, that issue has been resolved with an update, but there are other problems that have yet to be fixed (e.g., the Widowmaker quest that cannot be completed). It is still a fun and interesting game to play with all of the challenges, but Ubisoft needs to listen to its customers and fix all of the bugs.

This is my first Far Cry game so I can't compare it to the others, but I'm having a blast thus far. You can just stumble across stuff happening in the world and it doesn't feel like you're checking off a quest from a list. The animal companions are great, too.
Currently, there are some glitches in the game but from my experience they're more amusing than anything and there's nothing (again in my experience) game breaking. I've also seen people complain about the lack of weapons to choose from, too, but it doesn't bother me much. I'm fine with a bow, any gun, a shovel, and Boomer.
