    This game starts out hard and gets easier as you progress and gain allies and weapons. Countless hours of fun and for someone looking for the best in gaming graphics, look no further. This game has it all.

    Fantastic game that re emphasized what made the original far crys so great... amazing open world, tons to do, and an enthralling story that kept all entertained.

    I haven't played very many games in years, especially not single player ones. A friend got me to buy this on sale saying we could play together. When I turned it on, I thought he tricked me into buying a single player game, but he reassured me it would become coop after a bit. Getting through that part really got me into the story, very interesting. Maybe this will help me get into single player games, but I barely have time to play games now. Highly recommended, nevertheless,

    This game is the best Far Cry I've played for one reason: the map is not flooded with ridiculous amounts of time-wasters. There are plenty of side quests and small things to do, but they feel VERY optional. Far Cry 5 still falls short though, because the storyline is predictable and hackneyed, and the combat is still not good enough to compare to a true FPS. There are options for attacking strongholds via stealth, guns blazing, explosives, etc., but it often feels like a strategy can't go all the way. Stealth rarely works out for a full stronghold because there simply aren't enough options for remaining in stealth, for example. Overall, a solid, fun game that's good for one playthrough.

    The game is good, but I do not like the first person POV. I wish they gave an option for viewing

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this game. The NPC's were well written and the story, side missions and extra content had enough to keep you busy for at least 25 hours. Without giving away spoilers, if you plan on playing the sequel, New Dawn ,make sure to play this first. If you don't, you might not want too. I know that after playing ND, despite loving this game, I will find it hard to come back and replay. Not because ND is a superior game. It isn't by a long shot. I can't say more without venturing into spoiler territory. So, yes, FC5 is a great game that is entertaining but play it before ND.

    Far Cry 5 has a great story and very enjoyable playground to emerse you in. The DLC on the other hand is a pass on it in my book.

    I haven't gotten more than an hour or so in, but I've enjoyed it, immensely, so far. I am fortunate to own all 3 current gen consoles and choose to get this for the One X. It really looks fantastic in 4K w/ HDR.

    This type of game can be pretty polarizing, but if you’ve played he previous Far Cry games, then you know what to expect. Many side missions, missions and lots of time invested. I only play for about an hour or two max at a time, but I can take it easy, or go hard on trying to get missions accomplished, or just roam around and see what I run across. This type of game to me is a great value, because you end up playing it a lot. There are some quirks and it can get frustrating as some missions aren’t exactly clear on what you’re supposed to do, but overall, I like t a lot more than I thought I would have.

    It’s more of the same. But it’s fun and story is great. The only thing I dislike is the silent protagonist. Otherwise, fun missions and beautiful graphics.

    The story is the most interesting part of the game I thought. The gameplay is fun but it’s just like the past far cry games. So don’t expect a big change.
