Usually AAA games make me feel like I'm eating fast food, but Far Cry 6 reminded me of a moldy old frozen pizza I'd forgotten about in the freezer. It's technically a video game, but it's so uninteresting and devoid of any creativity or novelty.
Ubisoft seems to be trying to recapture what people loved about previous episodes. From "you have to burn down a plantation with a flamethrower, listening to fun music" to "there's a false ending that makes you finish the game very early in the adventure", it really does feel desperate.

Giancarlo Esposito is the GOAT, but here the script is poorly written and his character is forgettable.
This was the first Far Cry to feature a real city, which was very exciting on paper, but Esperanza is a huge disappointment. It's a completely dead city that reminds me more of a series of corridors disguised with fake buildings from a movie set. Honestly, this should be considered false advertising, given that Ubisoft was selling urban guerrilla warfare with FC6.

Outdated graphics, animations, mechanics, AI, open world design.. Far Cry really needs a complete reboot at this point because this ain't it.
