Far Cry 5 is the first Far Cry I've ever played and despite people saying it's bad, I actually quite enjoyed it. The game features an open world, which - by Ubisoft standards - is pretty big as expected and as with other open world games by Ubisoft I got bored doing all the same shit after one third in the game. The game does give you options to do things your way, but most of the time it doesn't really matter. The fishing mechanic was cool though.

The story of the game is all over the place, it doesn't give itself enough time to develop and would end too fast only if it wasn't for the resistance point system that's gatekeeping you from progressing further. To give you some sense of development they throw some side quests in your face, which are fine if they are not about collecting some shit I could care less about. In the end the story has something to say and I would've liked it only if the antagonists weren't so bland and unrelatable.

The game has cool visuals and I mean that it looks pretty realistic. So much so that anyone living in the bunker knows that going out is pretty much a blinding experience every time. Glad the developers didn't miss that part! Even though the visuals are cool for the most part, everything is watered down from a distance. And the visibility in the game is awful. If I'm supposed to use some binoculars every two seconds to mark my enemies to even see them at close range, the game has a big problem. If I'm in a hurry I don't have even a few seconds to spare for scanning my surroundings and while driving I can't even use binoculars in the first place. To me, visibility is pretty important in an fps game and the lack of it doesn't make this one stand out in a good way. The game has bugs, weird design decisions and all, but compared to the aforementioned they really don't matter that much in the end. It was pretty fun for a game that I bought from sale only for fly fishing.
