![]() ![]() Ubisoft have always done that kind of thing well and the lure of these simple side missions is hard to ignore. Even the simple act of going to your next story mission is subject to diversions as you spot an anti-air missile base here and a military compound there. Instead of climbing up a tower and scoping out a bunch of tasks for your to-do list, now you need to read notices, steal intel and talk to people who will then point you in the right direction. The usual array of hunting missions, treasure hunts, races and so on are all available.Īs with Far Cry 5, Ubisoft have chosen to make these activities show up organically. In addition all of the story missions that you’ll work through over dozens of hours of gameplay, you can also choose to take on various side missions and activities. You’ll meet various resistance fighters and leaders and you’ll earn their trust by doing the usual activities which is to say you’ll steal things, blow up stuff and kill people. After a little bit of ‘will you join the resistance or leave’ exposition, you eventually start taking on tasks that soon become missions which lead you to take out the various high-ranking officials that enforce Castillo’s cruel rule.Īt that point, it’s business as usual. Like all good bad guys, Castillo thinks his actions are justified and so acts without any mercy at all and when he makes a personal appearance to execute a boat full of civilians trying to leave the country, he makes an enemy of you, Dani Rojas (who can be male or female depending on your choice). And if anybody doesn’t like it, they’ll face imprisonment, torture and death. Having ruled the country with an iron fist, he’s now using his people as a slave labour force, using them to manufacture a miracle cure for cancer by having them work in highly toxic tobacco fields. This time it is Anton Castillo, the President of Yara, a fictional Caribbean country who is played by the ever-menacing Giancarlo Esposito. Of course, you’d be silly to expect anything particularly new from the series but there’s something about the sweet gunplay, compelling characters and believable open worlds that had us feeling quite excited for the series’ PS5 debut.Īs expected, the story here is very much hanging on the actions of another psychopath. The thing is, we really like the Far Cry games and with Far Cry 5 being something of a masterclass in this genre, we had high hopes for their newest entry. We’re all well-used to their tried and tested formula built on open worlds, more map icons than you can shake a stick at and a mixture of main missions, side missions and busy work that are designed to keep you playing their games for close to a hundred hours. When Vaas Montenegro, the charismatic psychopathic bad guy from Far Cry 3, talked about the definition of insanity, there was a certain irony that he was a creation of Ubisoft, the publishing behemoth behind such series as Far Cry, Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six.
