Hopefully, the inevitable gameplay reveal will calm any concerns about the new entry.To play this game on PS5, your system may need to be updated to the latest system software. Perhaps developers could add more survival elements like in Far Cry 2 or Primal that added some depth to the gameplay. Far Cry 6 does not have to reinvent the wheel, but spice up the routine.
The story can only carry the game so much before the bland gameplay creeps in. Far Cry 6 needs to be enough of a departure from previous entries to stand out.
From Metal Gear Solid V to Breath Of The Wild, developers have found many ways to make the open-world not feel empty, and have a fresh take on the style. What about gameplay? There have been some knockout entries in the open-world genre over the past few years. Story quality after Far Cry 3 slowly began to nose dive, and we saw how Ubisoft was cowardly in Far Cry 5 when actually engaging with its political themes. In terms of story, it is difficult not to be skeptical about the game delivering something worth getting excited about. The recent trailer for Far Cry 6 is well-produced, teases some interesting urban environments, themes of class struggle, but does that mean anything? It is a guarantee this game will look gorgeous, as visuals were not this franchises' Achilles heel. Far Cry 5 flirted with the idea of contemporary political subtext only to deliver a story with no bite, a cliche cult plot, and it felt like a gimmick. and the globe, the final product held back on exploring any of its themes. While tackling social commentary would have been interesting from a narrative perspective, with the unfortunate uptick in nationalism in the U.S. and the marketing that leaned on taking down white supremacist figures. Far Cry 5 received a lot of backlash, partly because of heightened political tensions in the U.S. While the game was impressive visually, it was more of the same.įans only had to wait another two years to get their hands on the next installment. However, the gameplay was mostly the same as previous entries now instead of radios towers to clear, it's just campfires and caves. Having to manage supplies and not freeze to death was a nice change of pace from previous entries. Only two years after Far Cry 4, Ubisoft released Far Cry Primal. While it is easy to see Far Cry Primal as just switching out guns for spears, the game did attempt to freshen up the gameplay loop with some survival elements. Yet despite these criticisms, there was enough to enjoy in Far Cry 4 to overlook its flaws. Still, unfortunately, many players were just burned out by the previous entry and numerous sandbox games from other developers at the time. Others say that Far Cry 4 simply gave what fans demanded. Some fans argue that despite the excellent performances from actors like Troy Baker, the story felt average, and this only highlighted the repetitive nature of the game.
Go around clearing outputs, unlock more of the map, hunt some animals for an upgrade, do a mission, repeat. By no means is Far Cry 4 a terrible game – many players loved the map editor, the combat, visuals, but something was holding it back. The gameplay loop did not vary drastically and the game had nothing to surprise you with. Anyone that played Far Cry 3 a lot might see the sequel as a reskin in some cases, you might see the same visual assets reused. While Far Cry 4 took what worked in Far Cry 3, it did not seem to push it any further. Far Cry 4 was a sequel living in its predecessor's shadow.
