Far Cry® New Dawn Reviews

overhated imo. story is a little boring but other than that gameplay is almost the same as far cry 5

at the beginning it was kind of slow but as you progress, more missions and side missions opened up for you to explore. i have played far cry 5 so this is a continuation from it and getting to continue on the story of some of the char really adds up. enjoy unlocking the perks and different kind of weapon quality.

fun game to play co-op with someone, game is decent at best and quite short. buy only when deeply discounted, not worth the full price.

i've had craps on the toilet reading shampoo bottles more entertaining than this game's story

This felt nothing like previous far cry games. I really wanted to like it but it is a chore to play. Bulletsponge enemies, a horrid rpg system for a game where it doesn't fit? You got it all right here. if I could refund it I would. Go buy a few indie games instead of this pile of muck.

I have just shy of 100hrs on this game, about 10 were actually enjoyed and legitimately fun. the other 90 were spent out of neutral boredom trying to find a reason to make this game memorable, replaying missions, making money to get all the weapons/vehicles/items unlocked, which I now have. But this was quite possibly the biggest disappointment in the Far Cry franchise, and the most painful typical developer cash grab I've ever seen. I'm getting around to making this review very late considering a bought it long ago shortly after release. I enjoyed the sh*t out of FC5. I beat it on console, unlocked everything, all achievements, then replayed it again on PC and did the same, still just as memorable and unique a experience as the first time playing, it truly has a special place in my heart. The gameplay, the characters, the beautiful open-world environment, and one of the greatest in-game OSTs ever. New Dawn had big shoes to fill, too bad it didn't even try. The characters are dull, boring, and forgettable, especially the sisters. Screen time for them is few and far-between, and often overshadowed by side-missions that end up being more interesting than tuning into the actual story. It really plays like a very rushed game, with a map that feels smaller than Jacob's Whitetail Mountain region. The outposts are small, character development and backstory is non-existent. Someone else said it, but I feel bad for the writers, who were obviously kept from creating a story significant enough to build upon this universe of Far Cry Montana in a way that'd make this game memorable. This honestly should have been available as a post-FC5 DLC, not annual franchise game, because compared to the others, this doesn't even come close, not even to the quality of Primal. But leave to Ubisoft, to ruin their own game, as they have before on behalf of sales greed, wokeness, micro-transactions, or some kind of propaganda pandering. They're just games, these topics should be the last things on a developers mind. The way this game was advertised was Hope County, in it's entirety as a post-apocalyptic scene, with landscape and places recognizable from FC5 (which there are some) but still obviously changed because of Nuclear Fallout, and however many years of decay since the events of FC5. With a rich story around completely different, complex villains, and threats to civilization. Instead we got a single region sized map, with some BS 10 minute "expedition" side missions to different areas of the world to fill in the emptiness felt in the game. A couple annoying, childish "Sisters" that feel like they could be throw-away side-mission characters, and all the exact same arsenal from FC5 just reskinned, except now we have a rubber band crossbow that shoots skilsaw blades. Remember when on release that was what they were raving about in all the interviews and trailers, that's because it was the only new interesting thing FCND had to bring forward. I remember being left saying, "that's it?" I beat the game story in a handful of days of moderate playing, with little to no incentive to continue playing, or to try new guns. It is a completely dummed down version of FC5 that just has a bunch of trippy colors, as if someone put a hue shift on the game and called it good as a completely new art style. I never wanted FC5 to end, I've left the last mission with the nuke dropping untracked ever since I got to it years ago. It's too painful to see that apocalyptic new menu screen after the mission, as a constant reminder that the nostalgia of Far Cry 5's unforgettable story line and cast is over. So much character and realism came from that game, especially in the world, and how closely it represents the place it's based on and the people of the beautiful state of Montana. From the gorgeous winding mountain roads through alpine forests, to the small communities and their rusted out dentside fords and old square body trucks. It really feels like the real deal. Maybe there are some other reasons outside of neglect that New Dawn wasn't what we had envisioned, nonetheless, it's a huge disappointment. Two thumbs down from me.

Not as good as FC5, but I love the colours and the post-apocalyptic scenery!

Somehow prefer this game over far cry 5, gameplay loop is better, tho story is garbage.

Ubisoft has the worst customer support. It's time to stop supporting companies that don't respect where their money is coming from. Enjoy the negative review.
