It’s about 20 minutes long but well worth it. I will be avoiding spoilers in this review, but even if you’re not intending to play this game, watch the opening scene. The removal of those rose-colored glasses for Far Cry 5 resulted in a somewhat less satisfying feeling upon finishing the game.įar Cry 5 drops you in to one of the most exciting game openings in years. I’ll admit my excitement let me overlook a few of the game’s problems and focus on what I loved about it.

1 billion people! I learned a lot about my heritage and my family’s ancestral home, even presenting Rakshasa (a take on the Hindu God of war, Kali) as a boss battle later on. To my knowledge there is not a single other AAA game that features a protagonist from the Indian subcontinent, which, if you’re not Indian yourself, you may not have noticed. While Far Cry 4 i s not as popular as Far Cry 3, as an American-born Indian the concept of an actual Indian being the established protagonist of a game blew me away.

The Far Cry franchise has brought us many games of varying quality over the years.
