    Amazing game! It feels like Far Cry with a new take on things. If you're a fan or even a newcomer I highly recommend it. This game introduces a new health system for enemies and more RPG style elements. Full of violence and intrigue this game is a great addition to the franchise. Different classes for guns and different difficulties of enemies and wildlife. Again, Awesome game!

    I got this one New Dawn after completing FC 5 and 6, so it was so easy to play for me. There are plenty of weapons to choose from and a lot of challenges to complete. The graphic is great, the colors are way cool and one of the best open-world PS4 games. Love it!

    Amazing continuation from Far Cry 5

    The game looked pretty good from the initial announcement, but it wasn't scheduled to be played, so i didn't buy it on release. The game was a surprise continuation from Far Cry 5 and i really enjoy that. The post apocalyptic world is so bright compared to anything I've seen before. There's no money in the game everything is resources like copper, titanium, circuits that are used to craft weapons, cars, camps. Hunting is the best way to gather these resources, but there are multiple ways of earning them. The story was pretty long considering that the game is priced at $39.99, it will take you a good 20-30 hours to beat and then a good 40-50 to get the Platinum on Playstation 4. I'm a trophy hunter, so its good that they finally got rid of the online pvp trophies. I would highly recommend the game, especially if you find it on sale for $19.99.

    Far Cry New Dawn is a shorter length game in the Far Cry Series. That being said... It can be a lengthy game if you try to complete all of the side missions. The graphics looks good, not the greatest in the series but it has its own style. The story is very unique from the other Far Cry games. It's a open world game, so, you get to decide where to go. Overall, it's a good game in the Far Cry Series.

    Bought this game because I really enjoyed Far Cry 5, and this game is a bit of a sequel. While similar in many ways, there are some differences (and I might say improvements or tweaks) to the overall gameplay. The story is a continuation from Far Cry 5 with a handful of the same characters (15 years after the events of that game). While shorter overall, it seems like a fun game thus far, well worth the reduced $40 pricetag.

    This isn't a brand new Far Cry with a new story, it's more like a continuation of Far Cry 5. I loved FC5 so I had to pick this up and glad I did. It's not as big as FC5, reason why the price is lower, but still a great game with a lot to do. Recommended for anyone who enjoyed FC5.

    This game has gotten so-so reviews, but I love the storyline and gameplay as a continuation of Farcry 5. I got this for $20, which is a perfect price...might want to hold off if it jumps back up to $40. But a for sure play for any fans of the series.

    Wish there was a larger perk system and more extensive weapons system like Far Cry 5. However, for someone who just finished Far Cry 5 a game that was in development for 3years+ and is a true full sequel to Far Cry 4...its hard to complain about any one particular thing in New Dawn because it's merely a standalone sequel and could've truly been offered as a $20-30 DLC to Far Cry 5. It gives the Far Cry 5 hardcore players, like myself, a nice dose of everything Far Cry is known for in its' series just in a smaller package then Far Cry 5. I sense the developer did this to keep its player base busy while they continue work on the next big Far Cry 6 sequel. Will revisit and wrote extensive report after I complete the game. I'm about 50% of the way through. The perk system for hardcore players will disappoint. I acquired 90% of the perks within 2 days or about 20hrs of play time and I wasn't particularly seeking them out. Ubisoft Montreal shines again! Edit: Almost forgot I absolutely love the addition of having a homebase and being able to extensively upgrade it, and it very much impacts my player abilities and gameplay as a whole as I progress. I still miss the towers to unlock fog in the Far Cry 4 series wish they'd bring those back. The graphics are superb and the missions which Roger take you to unique landscapes that the developer stated they really put a lot of time into making deep and enjoyable. Those additions should 100% remain in the next big FC6 game.

    Having never played a Far Cry game before I went in blind and only bought it because it was under $15 at the time. I've been really enjoying it! I'm not a huge FPS player, so I don't really know how it compares to the big boys like Call of Duty etc, but for less than $20 I've been having a good time. The graphics are good, the story is great so far, and it controls with no problems. I'm only a few hours into it, but hopefully all of that stays the same throughout.

    Pretty good far cry played the 5th one and this one in my opinion is better like the action and story. Overall pretty good but just to short it took about 15 hours to beat that may be enough for most people but as a advanced gamer I like a at least a 20 hour game like far cry 5 but still very good.

    For anyone that played the previous Far Cry games, which I assum is nearly everyone buying this, you can expect a lot of the same here. The difference is this game, while shorter, tugs a little more at your heartstrings compared to the others. The gameplay is quite similar, but the AI is much more responsive and general feel of a community is amazing because you can overhear conversations and everyone tends to act like a normal real-life person rather than a video game character. The interactions are life-like which is amazing. The intuitive gestures and actions you can perform with others makes you really feel like you're there. The environment is amazing and something you'll have to see for yourself. The storyline is what you would expect, simple and not too detailed, but still fun filled and adventurous. The animals are awesome in this game and as you usual you can have fun messing around with them, just be careful because they've made a few of these creatures actual beasts (monstrous) in this game that are much harder to bring down. You could spend hours playing at a time or over time, but either way, expect a great time to be had by all with this one. It may be shorter than the rest, but it also costs less to purchase and the fun is just as awesome as ever.

    Even though the map was a reskin of the Far Cry 5 map it didn't really feel like it to me. It was fun to find some of the same place rotted away by the fallout. The story was a good wrap up and the environment was beautiful not your average take on a nuclear apocalypse. For $40 you can't really lose if you like the Far Cry series.
