My favorite is the Pyrotechno that shoots fireworks and is strong enough to take down a tank. There are also Revolver weapons, which are high-tech and only made available by collecting uranium. Along with the typical guns, such as the AK-47 assault rifle, Spas-12 automatic shotgun and SVD sniper rifle, there are unique guns that have their own perks. There's also plenty of collectibles, puzzles to figure out and vehicles to steal. Far Cry invites you to procrastinate, as I often found myself drawn to treasure hunts or side quests while on the way to a story mission. You have the main story missions, side missions, treasure hunts, checkpoints, supply drops, ambushes and missile bases that are available to overrun. I much prefer this method of exploring the map rather than being forced to find some point to magically make the island discoverable like in previous Far Cry games. If you try to jump into a level 10 part of the island while you're only level two, be ready to see a tank show up and blow you away. Sections of Yara, Far Cry 6's fictitious Caribbean island that bears a resemblance to Cuba, have indicators of what your level should be, as the higher the level, the tougher the enemies are. Though you'll deal with the consequences of not being where you're supposed to, it makes the game's world feel more organic and free. From the start, you're able to run, drive or fly to wherever you want.

There's always a series of points on the map to discover in order to 'unlock' the rest of the map. One of the biggest gripes about Far Cry, Assassin's Creed and other Ubisoft titles is the similar user interface and quests. When jumping into Far Cry 6, I quickly noticed how streamlined it was compared to previous games.

Far Cry 6 makes a swath of improvements to the core game, making it easily the most enjoyable gameplay experience in the series. Far Cry 6's cast brings the star power, with the game's big bad guy Anton Castillo voiced by Breaking Bad's Giancarlo Esposito, but doesn't push the narrative in the same way as the franchise's best characters historically have. Previous antagonists Vaas ( Far Cry 3) and Joseph Seed ( Far Cry 5) were so compelling I couldn't resist playing, just to see what would happen next. Why? Not for the crazy playground violence or the open worlds, but because the characters were so interesting. Buckle up.I've played every entry in the Far Cry series, which spans back all the way to 2004. I get the feeling this holiday season will be super, super busy and filled with exciting releases. October 7th is still a long ways off but I’m looking forward to this one and hopefully I’ll get a chance to preview the game before then and report back. Far Cry, like so many other video games, is much more fun with a friend. Speaking of co-op, I’m very glad it’s included again. Maybe in two-player co-op you’ll each pick a different sibling? That gave you a little more motivation than just. One of the things that made Far Cry 3 so interesting was the fact that you had friends trapped on the island that you had to help rescue. Having a real protagonist to play as-instead of a voiceless cypher-is going to really help, I think, and it’s possible that the character your don’t pick-the male Dani or the female-will still figure into the story. I’m definitely looking forward to exploring Yara, taking on the role of guerrilla fighter and taking down the regime.

Far Cry 5 took place in my home state of Montana which was cool, even if ultimately that game was kind of disappointing.

I’ll be perfectly honest, I’m always excited for a new Far Cry game even when they’re pretty formulaic.
