Far Cry 6 Review: Order in Revolution
Taking place on a tropical island during a revolution, Far Cry 6’s plot reads like a page out of a Cuban history book. But its themes, wacky weapons, and fictional characters give it a charm of its own.

Yara is super lush and wonderful to explore, but the story and main villain are predictable.
Game Informer: 9 / 10 by Brian Shea
Whether you're pushing the mainline story forward or pursuing side missions, Far Cry 6 provides a cornucopia of fun and engaging activities, wrapped in the series' best gameplay and most beautiful setting
GameSpot: 7 / 10 by Phil Hornshaw
Though it can be really fun, especially when it descends into absolute chaos, Far Cry 6 is overstuffed and disjointed, with so many ideas that it's tough to focus.
The main pros of the game
- Visuals and Environment: Many players praised the stunning graphics and the detailed, expansive open world of Yara, which includes diverse landscapes like jungles, beaches, and cities.
- Gunplay and Weapons Variety: The variety of weapons, including unique and creative options, was frequently highlighted as a strong point. Players enjoyed the satisfying gunplay and mechanics.
- Engaging Side Activities: The game offers numerous side quests and activities, such as treasure hunts and exploration, which some players found enjoyable.
- Character and Voice Acting: Giancarlo Esposito's portrayal of the antagonist Anton Castillo received commendations, and some characters were noted as likeable.
- Co-op Gameplay: Some reviews mentioned that the game is more enjoyable when played with friends, adding to the fun factor.
The main cons of the game
- Repetitive Gameplay: Many players criticized the game for its repetitive missions and lack of innovation compared to previous titles. Common tasks like capturing outposts and completing fetch quests felt monotonous.
- Weak Story and Character Development: The storyline was often described as shallow and predictable, with underdeveloped characters, leading to a lack of emotional engagement.
- Technical Issues: Numerous reviews mentioned bugs, glitches, and performance problems, which detracted from the overall experience. Some players reported game-breaking issues that required restarts or led to lost progress.
- AI Issues: The enemy AI was frequently criticized for being either too easy or inconsistent, making combat less challenging and engaging.
- Microtransactions: The inclusion of microtransactions in a single-player game was viewed negatively by many players.
The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users
- Depth in Gameplay Mechanics: Players expressed a desire for more complex gameplay mechanics and a sense of progression, feeling that the game lacked the depth found in earlier installments.
- Challenging AI: Many users wanted more intelligent and challenging enemy AI to enhance the combat experience.
- Improved Storytelling: There were calls for a more engaging and impactful narrative, with better character arcs and development.
- Variety in Missions: A desire for more diverse and innovative mission structures was noted, as many felt that the missions became repetitive quickly.
- Better Optimization and Support: Users wished for improved performance and technical support from Ubisoft, as many encountered significant issues that affected gameplay.
In conclusion, while Far Cry 6 has its strengths, particularly in visuals and gunplay, it suffers from repetitive gameplay, technical issues, and a lack of depth in storytelling and character development, leading to a mixed reception among players.

Far Cry 6 Description
Far Cry 6 is the sixth main installment of the bestselling FPS series started in 2004. The game was developed simultaneously in several divisions of Ubisoft, under the leadership of Ubisoft Toronto. This studio had previously helped produce Far Cry 4 and Far Cry Primal.
Plot
Far Cry 6 takes us on a journey to Yara, a fictional tropical country inspired by Cuba. Anton Castillo is in charge. His life's goal is to rebuild the country and bring it back to its glory fifty years ago (when the dictator was his father), no matter what sacrifices he has to make to the people. Besides, Castillo is raising his successor, a 13-year-old son named Diego. The character we play as, on the other hand, is Dani Rojas, a fighter or female fighter in the local resistance movement trying to remove Castillo from power through both guerrilla warfare and protests in the streets of Yara's capital Esperanza.
Gameplay
Far Cry 6 starts with a choice of the gender of the character we play. The action is observed from a first person perspective (FPP). Authors give us a vast open world to explore on foot, by driving various vehicles and other machines or riding a horse. We will find here not only the wilderness areas known from the previous parts of the series (headed by the jungle) and small settlements, but also (for the first time in the history of the series) a metropolis, Esperanza.
The game is driven by tasks pushing the story forward, accompanied by numerous optional missions and activities. We are usually interrupted by soldiers loyal to Castillo, whom we eliminate using an extensive arsenal. Apart from cold weapons, there is a wide range of pistols, rifles and shotguns, which the guerrilla modify with the help of everyday objects (for example by installing sights made of sardine cans).
We can deal with our enemies both in open combat and acting quietly, which is all the more important because they often have a numerical and technological advantage over us (enough to say that they have tanks among others). As was the case at Far Cry 5, we're not condemned to a lonely journey. This is because we can take advantage of the Amigos, or tame animals like the Chorizo dachshund.
Cast
Far Cry series has got us used to the fact that the games representing it have a high quality graphic design. Far Cry 6 is no exception - you'll love the detailed environments, including the lush vegetation growing on Yara, as well as the realistically rendered weapons and detailed character models. In addition, the game has a truly starring cast - Anton Castillo is played by Giancarlo Esposito, known from the series Breaking Bad, while Diego's face and voice is lent by Anthony Gonzalez (Coco).

Far Cry Series
Far Cry is a series of first-person shooters (FPS) with a sandbox gameplay model. The leading theme of the series is spectacular shootouts using modern firearms, but the developers are not afraid to experiment and from time to time serve players a trip to completely different realities, such as distant prehistory (where rifles and flamethrowers are replaced by bows and machetes) or an alternative world in the climate of cyberpunk (where cyborg soldiers fight using laser weapons). The series allows us to drive vehicles, including jeeps or boats with machine guns, and sometimes to ride animals (such as elephants). Starting with the third installment, RPG-like elements, such as crafting and character skill development, began to enter the series. Later installments were also equipped with level editors.
