It's an outstandingly good game until the last fifteen minutes where it becomes one of the worst.

Far Cry 5 is one of the best games in the series. The environment, the villain, and the story are pretty good. The side quests and characters are also quite fun. Achievements Required time: 65-75 hours Difficulty (in my opinion): 6 out of 10 DLCs required for 100%?: Yes, 3 (Lost on Mars, Hours of Darkness, Dead Living Zombies) Getting 100% of the achievements is also quite varied and not too grindy. The main game itself makes up about 40-50% of the time needed for 100%, and you only have to learn about half of the skills and collect a small portion of the collectibles. So, it doesn’t overstay its welcome. The game includes a few co-op achievements, but they can be completed quickly with a partner. There aren't any really missable achievements. So you can take your time and enjoy the game at your own pace. The three DLCs are more time-consuming, though only the last one (Dead Living Zombies) presents a medium-level challenge. There’s also an annoying achievement requiring you to kill 5000 zombies... but at least there's a trick to do it AFK. Finally, you need to replay the main game in New Game+ on the hardest difficulty. That might sound tough, but if you use the Mars DLC weapons, you can basically melt every enemy’s face off. :-P Apart from a few sections where you're stuck with a preset loadout, the difficulty becomes trivial.

Jan. 2025
Ultimate Hell Yeah Simulator Imagine you’re sitting there fishing in a peaceful lake, drinking a beer with some chill music in the background, and suddenly a bear just fucking mauls you. That’s this game, beauty mixed with chaos. A stunning landscape where you can hunt mystical LSD bears with helicopter missiles. Missions range from running over deer for roadkill meat to saving a sheriff from some MK-Ultra, other-dimensional brainwashing. It’s a proper redneck simulator with some insane villains, maybe not as iconic as Far Cry 3's Vaas, but still incredibly memorable. Especially Faith, whose dreamlike sequences give me IRL fever dreams. However, this game has a huge amount of issues, it’s not a good game. In fact, it’s buggy, the AI is horrible, and stealth is borderline useless when the game suddenly decides you’ve been spotted. And why does a single-player game have microtransactions? If Ubisoft had spent as much time and money fixing the game instead of trying to turn it into a Garry’s Mod clone with recycled assets and DLCs so bad they make you want to uninstall, it could have been something great. Then there’s Arcade mode, somehow even worse, with an achievement for playing five Arcade Hero maps, which is hilarious when 95% of them just crash the game. There are so many things wrong with Far Cry 5, but that’s the thing, it’s still really fun. And isn’t that what Far Cry is supposed to be? Ultimately, it comes down to what you want. If you’re looking for great storytelling, go play Far Cry 3. But if you just want to lose yourself in a beautifully broken sandbox of explosions, cultists, and wildlife that actively hates you, this is exactly what you need.

If you liked 3,4 you are gonna like 5 because it's essentially the same game. It's fine for far cry entry, nice location, fun weapons, nice music, the setting, repetitive tasks, doesn't break any wall but it's good game to play with a deep discount.
