Far Cry 5 is an incredibly busy game. The sweeping scenery of rural Montana is constantly interrupted by the chatter of gunfire, cultist-filled vehicles tumbling over each other to get at you, angry honey badgers nibbling at your ankles, and eagles determined to claw out the eyes of any human that falls under their shadow.
The series has been building chaos into its systems ever since Far Cry 3 set the series on its current path of toppling oppressive regimes in areas of outstanding natural beauty. For Far Cry 6, it’s time for Ubisoft to reel in the madness and remember the other things that made these games great.
Returning to the wilderness of Montana in Far Cry 5, it only takes about a minute for me to be reminded of what this game is about. At a nearby intersection, a zealot-filled pickup truck mindlessly ploughs its way through traffic in its determination to run me down. I take them out, only to be headbutted by a wild turkey, which I struggle to shoot in the long grass. By the time I’m done with it, another truck nearly barrel-rolls to get at me, but this time I’m backed up by friendly units who happen to be nearby. At some point, a bear joins in and tears everyone in sight to pieces.
