Far Cry New Dawn

First off, far cry is my favorite series I love all the games so this might be bias. That being said I throughly enjoyed this expansion for far cry 5. I personally enjoyed the story more than I did for far cry 5 I thought the 2 crazy sisters were very interesting. Of course there is always far cry glitches and things that are annoying but overall I really liked the game.

INTRODUCTION: Far Cry 5 was one of my top video games of 2018. The gameplay, beautiful open world, music were all great. When it was announced at the Game Awards 2018 that a spin-off of Far Cry 5 called "New Dawn" was coming out, I was really excited to play it and continue the story (especially after that cliffhanger ending). Now that New Dawn is out and have finished the main story, here are my thoughts on it.

STORY: Even though the main story is short, I still enjoyed it. I was glad see some of my favorite characters from Far Cry 5 return (Joseph Seed, the Rye family, Father Jerome, etc.). I also liked the antagonists, Mickey and Lou (Leaders of a raider gang known as The Highwaymen). The main story was pretty short but I enjoyed it.

GAMEPLAY: Gameplay is mostly the same as Far Cry 5 but with some changes. Some of the changes, I'm on the fence about, mainly the fact that enemies are now bullet sponges and you have to craft new, more powerful weapons as you progress (which can be a bit grindy when finding materials to craft weapons and upgrade them).

MUSICAL SCORE: The soundtrack for Far Cry 5, composed by Dan Romer, was one of my favorites of 2018 with a bluegrass sound to some of the tracks. With Far Cry New Dawn, the game's score has a more Electronic/Hip-Hop/Electronic-Rock style to it. The music fits the tone of the game well and sounds very epic, especially when engaging in combat with enemies.

CONCLUSION: Far Cry New Dawn is an enjoyable expansion to one of my favorite video games of last year. While it wasn't as great as Far Cry 5, I still enjoyed it a lot and I'm curious to see where Far Cry will go in future installments.

This could have been a nice expansion to far cry 5 but no, bloody ubisoft made it a full stand alone game and it really isn't worth playin' it's a rage 2 ripped off, downgrade, reskined version of fc 5 and that game wasn't even that great.

the story and characters are bland and uninteresting, the action and gameplay are half good but you don't really care about what's happening to the plot because it's very generic and short.

the only nice things i can say about this game is the graphics and the gameplay but then again this game didn't even need to be an rpg, much like ac odyssey and it's annoying.

Far Cry New Dawn picks up where Far Cry 5 left off, throwing players into a vivid, post-apocalyptic world that's as beautiful as it is brutal. Set seventeen years after the events of Far Cry 5, the once-serene Hope County has transformed into a landscape of striking colors and blooming wildflowers, a stark contrast to the usual gritty post-apocalyptic settings. This unique blend of nature's resurgence against the backdrop of destruction gives New Dawn a memorable aesthetic that draws you in from the start.

In New Dawn, you face off against the ruthless Highwaymen, led by twin sisters Mickey and Lou, whose fierce and unpredictable personalities bring a new dynamic to the series' iconic villains. While they don't reach the psychological depth of Joseph Seed, their sheer ferocity and chaotic rule over Hope County make them a compelling threat. As you fight to build and protect your community, New Dawn gives a sense of hope and resilience, celebrating the bonds formed in the face of hardship.

The gameplay builds on Far Cry 5's mechanics while adding new elements suited to a post-apocalyptic world. Crafting takes on greater importance, as resources are scarce and scavenging is essential for survival. The game introduces "Expeditions," allowing you to travel outside Hope County to gather resources, adding variety to the missions and giving you a glimpse of how the world has adapted to the cataclysm. Weapon upgrades and the return of the "Guns for Hire" system give you flexibility in combat, while the signature open-world chaos keeps things fresh and unpredictable.

If there's a minor critique, it would be that the storyline feels somewhat less intense compared to Far Cry 5. While New Dawn offers fun and fast-paced action, it sometimes lacks the emotional weight and character depth that made Far Cry 5 so gripping.

In summary, Far Cry New Dawn delivers a vibrant, chaotic post-apocalyptic experience with plenty of heart and action. Its stunning landscapes, engaging combat, and unique setting make it a worthy sequel and a fresh chapter in the Far Cry series. It's an exhilarating journey that proves the beauty of survival, even amid devastation.

Honestly you can review anything you want and give it any rating you want but you can't keep giving ones and twos and undeservingly you need to specify the places you didn't enjoy if you didn't enjoy the game play decrease the game play but it's not a one a win means shit unplayable game go to the graphics if you enjoy the graphics that's a plus point to me the graphics is one of the best in many games another point the story if you didn't like the story just write what are the flaws but people are getting over upset with these games or these movies and reading them one and two and they are not deserving I feel a lot of Bad movies or games they can be Street which means it's a playable game but it's not that good but if you put 201 that means you just download the game you hated the game it's a shit game and you deleted the game and you cried about it or something else, Opinions are opinions at the end of the day I just wanted to clarify giving ones in twos is not fair to anyone to be honest.
