![]() A few of the treasure hunts, and a hunt for relics are imaginatively designed while a couple of the story missions, including storming a fort, are great fun. To be fair though, some of the missions are brilliant. Yay? Given the fact Dani is on a tight schedule to try and take back Yara, these main missions do absolutely nothing to help with the story or pacing. There are even a few pointless missions that see you get drunk, deface posters and party. The missions range from your conventional firefights, ambushes and getaway driving through to more egregious and grindy fetch quests. It doesn’t have any meaningful effect on the end-result, with the final fight just sorta ends so abruptly without much aplomb. I won’t go into spoiler territory but honestly the faction recruitment is simply busywork. ![]() The island you’re inhabiting is broken up into different territories inhabited by military leaders (just like Far Cry 5) with the intention here on recruiting rebels in each area before storming Esperanza, which holds Castillo and his cronies. In order to take back control, it’s up to Dani to recruit several different factions to join her cause and strike back against this maniacal war criminal.įor anyone who has played a Far Cry game before, the gameplay is pretty much exactly the same as what you’ve come to expect. Unfortunately things go awry and Dani finds herself in a desperate struggle to topple Castillo, uniting with the anti-Castillo forces under the flag of Libertad. In the wake of this, Dani Rojas, who lives in the middle of Esperanza, plans to escape to Miami. Gabriel Castillo is elected president and promises stability with the creation of a new cancer treatment drug called “Viviro.” Seven years later and workers are enslaved to work on the tobacco fields and the country’s armed forces (known as the FND) begin rounding up citizens in the capital of Esperanza. ![]() The story of Far Cry 6 takes place on the island of Yara. While I’m not advocating for a huge change with the game mechanics here, little tweaks to gunplay, AI and level design would not have gone amiss – but you’ll be hard-pressed to find much in the way of creative juices flowing through this one. Uninspiring and grindy, Ubisoft’s shooter is basically the same game it’s been since Far Cry 3, with very little changes beyond aesthetic paint jobs or story overhauls. Well, given Ubisoft have made minimal changes to their workplace since those allegations, it’s perhaps a sick sense of irony that nothing has really changed between Far Cry 5 and 6. Beyond the tepid dribble of big games over the past 12 months to the more serious allegations levelled against different gaming companies, 2021 has been a nasty black cloud hanging over this industry.Īt the center of this sits Ubisoft, and I’m sure there will be some people reading this wondering just why I’m bringing the abuse up in a game review. It has not been a good year for the gaming industry. ![]()
