Overview

For almost a half-decade, The Far Cry Series has been a bit short of the target. Previously released, Far Cry Primal and Far Cry New Dawn proved to be below the par, while Far Cry 5 couldn’t make it a great and impressive comeback. Despite uninspiring days of past, Far Cry 6 has returned the series to its full charm with uniquely awesome story setup in the island of Yara. Yara is a beautiful place to explore, with its charming little towns, jungles and mountains. This island is governed by its ruthless, unkind and brutal dictator Antón Castillo.

Just a Simple Story: Great Characters

A native Yaran named Dani Rojas is the main character of the game who dreams to get out of Castillo’s regime and escape to shores of Miami, Florida. As soon as Players choose their character as Dani Rojas find a chance to escape during the game’s first introductory section. While scaping when the player goes south and he finds himself to a faraway beach as a sole-survivor, where he meets small army of freedom fighters dedicated to end Anton Castillo’s regime forever.

Bad Guys are Disappointingly Uniform: Monotonous

The Goons Like Castillo’s nephew Jose and Canadian Corporatist Sean McKay are cartoonish evil making them obvious to be hated, thus less impressive and their one-dimensional nature falls short as compared to Castillo’s well realized image as brutally and deadly evil making him a suitable, realist and impressive character of the game.

Anton Castillo as a Villain

Far Cry 6 makers have remarkably created Anton Castillo to leave his mark as the best villain of the series until now. Anton’s cold and calculating demeanor is reasonably a thing that impresses a lot as compared to deadly eccentric villains like Pagan Min and Vaas. Furthermore, Giancarlo Esposito has brilliantly done justice to the character with face and superb voice. Giancarlo Esposito has also landed his voice to Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian.

Guns: Lots of Guns

Far Cry 6 has huge selection of weapons for Dani Rojas to face the Guerilla Warfare. Thus, Players can use makeshift weapons; anything they can find in their surroundings. While stealth is yet a viable option but players might feel makers do not want them to go for stealth as they have presented weapons say it; lots of weapons that won’t allow you for a second to take a stealth move.

Best Far Cry Map Ever

The Island of Yara is an amazing land to explore with its beautiful, little town, jungles and mountains all around. A journey to a new world of wonders that you won’t like to miss. Yara is divided into different parts. While each part comes with its own level of difficulty depending upon the rank of the warrior. Additionally, each part has secondary objectives to complete like destroying military bases or checkpoints rewarding players with new weapons or cosmetics to equip

Stunning Visuals

Far Cry 6 is the best of all time visually stunning game. It is setup in the paradise-like island Yara. You are amazed with environment around you and superb responsive graphics. As always, the particle effects are superb, explosions impress the players with both visuals and sound. Moreover, improved fire effects are a plus to its visuals and offer you an immersive gaming experience. While game’s smoke effects never let you down but they are the best of what you’ve ever experienced in these sort of games.

Excellent Soundtrack and Sound Design

Far Cry 6 features a great soundtrack, with original music along with licensed tracks that run across the game adding beauty to it and mesmerize you throughout hours game play. Additionally, With its great sound design, you are going to feel weapons sound satisfyingly loud and punchy while vehicles like tanks and planes can be easily audibly identified without any error.

Fabulous and Powerful Accessibility

Far Cry 6 allows you lots of accessibility option like hearing, vision, motor, cognitive and motion categories. And for the first time game has introduced colorblind setting thus creating it enjoyable and fun for everyone.
