I truly disliked every second I was playing this game. Did that stop me from finishing it? Absolutely not! I would rather die than recommend this game to anyone. Again, none of this stopped me from playing it. I could spend so much time listing my complaints, but here I will just highlight some of the worst stuff:

1. You have to kill dogs. And you might be like, "you don't HAVE to kill the dogs" - WRONG! You do. You absolutely have to. And that's gross. (sidenote: you know that twitter account that's like "Can you pet the dogs in the game" well, the more important question should be "Can you kill the dogs in the game")
2. The assassinating is terrible, doesn't work well, and overall sucks. This sucked for me because I love a stealth assassination. Really gets my blood flowing. Needless to say, the blood didn't flow here.
3. Speaking of blood, lots of it in this game! So much blood! And don't get me wrong, I love a bloody game (Devil May Cry has a perfect amount of blood), but I don't love what they did with it here. It was inconsistent - comical, yet not comical enough.
4. Sidequests sucked—Blah city. Don't even get me started on the treasure hunts.

I will end this on a positive note. I appreciated my killer rooster and crocodile. This game helped me come to realize that those would be super helpful in real life. Also, I want to give a big shout-out to THE NAIL GUN! What a weapon. I really did some diabolical shit with that thing. Oh the memories. Kind of makes me want to get a nail gun. I understand the possibilities now.

Oh boy, where to start.

Same formula since FC2 but they lost their ways after FC3. Ubisoft is emotionally crippled. It tries so hard to please everyone, be woke, shock the audience with dumb violence worthy of a 80's action movie forgotten in a dumpster, along with major players, but all that it does is use the same blanket it has slept under for over 10 years and it is beginning to stink.

Why create a world so big, with so much content? More than half is useless and you don't need it to finish the game. On top of that, none of the characters and missions are memorable or smart. The characters, the writing is done poorly. Every dialog is a cliche stolen from every dumb action movie and it isn't even funny.

I actually tried to like this game, find its beauty inside the whole mess they've created. 36 hours with almost 50% completion on each region, so, semi-griding. All this time just for a few short cinematics to progress with the story, just to watch an actor's performance. REALLY? The best thing in this game is Giancarlo Esposito and i could have watched him on youtube.

The world of Yara is empty, it feels like i am talking with the AI from FC2 which was released in 2008 , and this title released in 2021. 13 years for a "manual" of how to become a guerilla. Now that, is either smart, or dumb.

The missions? Go somewhere, defend, shoot, or sneak, or take pictures, shoot some more, follow me, prepare the grill. This is the Ubisoft formula.
The game feels empty, you couldn't connect with any character even if they had a big plug on them saying connect with me.

There is nothing intelligent in any of the dialogs written in this game. ( Let's drink, have *** and skip school) hmm, i guess that when our communist regime fell in our country, a lot of resolutioners were thinking exactly like that. Does Ubisoft recruit their writers right from their parents basement? At least have the decency to be a bit accurate when you try to educate the public with a character that fights for something.

Ubisoft games can be a dream or a nightmare for those with OCD. At least they could have made an interesting world to spend your time collecting stuff and drive around and admire the world. Even the NPC warcries are silly and similar to each last FC title.

Last but not least, the idea around Far Cry and the themes around megalomaniacs with ideologies is very good. Don't shove this with 10 cinematics of progress and an empty world because the whole picture is starting to look like stick figures and not an action game where you blow up the map with a ton of arsenal.

Far Cry 6 is a great open-world adventure, set in the tropical islands of Yara, where you are once again tasked with liberating everything from the current dictator, Anton Castillo. The gameplay and the mechanics are the usual, with a few twists, like the different ammo types, Resolver weapons and a gear based upgrade system. The latter might be the biggest change, but after getting used to it, you can use it to your advantage with the 4 different presets. The animal companions are cute and funny, and the new gadgets, like the rocket backpack are fun to mess around with. I read a lot of bad reviews about this game, but I think it's criminally underrated, I really enjoyed being back to the jungle.

The worst parts of the game for me are the online elements. Microtransactions are unnecessary and locking content behind weekly gates is just prolonging the inevitable finished feeling. Single player games should finish after a while, and even without these methods, there is a ton of content in the game. The DLC-s were not for me either, although the Villains DLCs extended the lore of the previous games a bit, which is nice, especially with the returnal of Vaas from Far Cry 3, I just wish they were not in this roguelike formula.

I have mixed feeling about the villains of the game. The Castillo's were decent, but not perfect villains, but their liutenants lacked charisma or memorability. Some of my favourite guns were locked behind the weekly Insurgency missions, which is annoying, if you don't want to spend money on microtransactions.

So yeah, it's not a perfect game, might not make it into my Top 3 Far Cry games, but if you can ignore the greedy bullshit, the game behind it is still the same fun as it used to be. Capturing bases one after the other, exploring the wild, fighting vicious beasts and shooting bad guys Rambo style. What's not to love?

I don't know if Far Cry 6 is the worst game in the series, but I suppose not and definitely it's not the best either, for me. Far Cry 6 it's enjoyable because of its setting, the tropical island of Yara, of its gameplay (especially when you use the homemade weapons made of scrap, called "resolver weapons" or "supremos") and of course, for its lore, its history.

On the other hand, the downside of this game is the lack of the depth of the storyline, because the narrative is very simple and linear, with not so many plot twists. The story is just mediocre, but not amazing, as you would expect from those triple AAA RPG games. Moreover, the AI system and the behaviour of the NPC's, are very basic, the AI system it's a disaster and for me this is one important key factor for a game that has been released in 2021.

In conclusion I can only say that Far Cry 6 is a decent game, it's very long, the storyline it's decent, the gameplay and the setting are amazing and most of the times it really looks a lot like Far Cry 5 (it has the same gameplay system, in which you conquer different regions of the map, until you reach the final one and confront the main villain and you also have companions, they are called "amigos" here, which is nice). The game deserves a 7, it's just a decent game.

It feels like Ubisoft has gradually forgotten what made Far Cry stand out. Far Cry 3 had a strong sense of immersion—cutscenes were experienced in first-person, characters locked eyes with you, and the world felt grounded despite the chaos. By the time we get to Far Cry 6, that presence is gone. Missions are delivered against sterile backdrops, and the game’s identity feels fractured.

I barely touched New Dawn, mostly because I dislike games where headshots don’t mean anything. But Far Cry 6 borrows heavily from that entry’s makeshift weapon aesthetic—thankfully, weapon design is one of the few areas the series hasn’t completely derailed.

One bright spot is how unique weapons found in caches are actually useful. Unlike in Far Cry 3, where you'd climb a lighthouse and find nothing of value, here you might walk away with something memorable.

Your companions now include a pet crocodile. It’s fine. Horses are also here, The game increasingly resembles Just Cause—you now have a grappling hook, a parachute, and a wingsuit. You can hijack a Soviet tank solo and operate it entirely by yourself, all while doing stunts that defy physics, like opening a parachute from 10m.

Summonable cars? Just tap your phone. From the outset, you're handed absurdly powerful gear: a harpoon-firing crossbow, a sniper rifle bought with in-game currency, and a backpack that acts as a superweapon, offering mortars, poison, or EMP blasts. Far Cry leans heavily into superhero territory here, to the point that it might’ve been more interesting if the game framed everything as the imagination of a dictator’s son obsessed with comics. They even cleverly keep the protagonist's name as “Dani,” regardless of gender.

Still, Far Cry 6 can't decide what it wants to be. It hands you a wingsuit and tank-blasting rockets, then pretends it’s telling a grounded story about family and sacrifice. The tonal whiplash is real. Enemies in high-level zones sponge headshots like nothing, while your absurd backpack missiles can wipe out choppers and armored vehicles.

To its credit, the game still takes risks with character deaths. Castillo—the villain—actually gets moments that complicate his cartoon-tyrant image. At one point, he claims 80% of his army is made up of farmer families. It’s not much, but it adds a shade of grey. Another character, Alejandro, calls out his sister for treating guerrilla warfare like a game. These moments are fleeting but welcome.

Then there are baffling design choices. You’re given a helicopter early on, but can’t use it freely due to anti-air defenses. Rather than gating it properly, they just throw in hours of turret destruction. It feels lazy. The hand-ballista is another oddity—granted at the start, it's basically a silent railgun that can one-shot minibosses. With ammo limits as the only drawback, there’s little incentive to try other weapons.

Progression is another letdown. Halfway through the story, I’d already unlocked most of the arsenal and hit level 8 out of 10. There’s little to chase. It doesn’t help that bosses are either underwhelming or nonexistent.

Narrative-wise, the game is a mixed bag. The second region leans hard into LGBT representation, but does so with all the subtlety of a hammer. Characters repeatedly announce their identities instead of letting the story show us who they are. One arc, about an old guerrilla band from 1967, is actually the best of the three. It’s comical and outlandish, but that fits the game’s tone far better than the band of self-important rappers in the second region.

Certain missions shine. Storming a fort was a highlight. And the hallucination sequence, where Dani confronts his motivations during a car ride, is one of the game’s deepest moments. It calls out the player’s lust for chaos over ideology—rare introspection in an otherwise loud game.

But even great moments are often undercut. After a strong scene where a revolutionary teenager takes vengeance on a general, she immediately poses for selfies with the body. Another character, Paolo, is described as crucial to the revolution, but the game never shows why. Meanwhile, standout characters like Jonrón and El Tigre are killed off, making the rest of the cast feel hollow by comparison.

The finale is perhaps the most disappointing in the series. After all the surrealism and symbolism teased throughout the game—like the bloodied baseball bat and gun on the title screen—it all ends predictably. No twist. No reveal that Dani is Diego, or that Clara is a tyrant-in-waiting. No deeper meaning behind the miracle drug Viviro or Diego’s role in its creation. Just a flat sequence: Clara dies, Castillo kills himself and his son, and it’s over.

For a series known for messing with your head, Far Cry 6 goes out not with a bang, but a shrug.

Far Cry 6 is a de facto Ubisoft formula game, where the map is divided in a few zones and you basically capture different points, do a bit of collecting here and there etc, untill you captured a full region, then you move on to the next one etc.

It's the same as in any other Ubisoft game, and while i love some of them (Valhalla, Odyssey, older farcry games), this one just does not hit home.

Both of the additions just don't work; The pets that follow you around are nothing but a nuisance and don't add anything otherwise. The 'super' weapons are way over the top, and in the end you barely use them cause they don't really add anything over the normal weapons. The atmosphere of the game is also very miss and never hit in my opinion, with most characters you meet being way over the top and annoying. Other than that, the game feels really lackluster on the story department, and while this is often the case with Ubisoft, usually there is still at least some decent story, but in FC6 that is completely absent (the whole thing boils down to, there is a bad dictator here, let's go and kill him).

I played about half of the game and couldn't finish it, was really glad it was free on PS extra and i didn't pay for the game.
