Far Cry 5 reminds me why I stay away from these sorts of games, especially from Ubisoft. The story on its surface is really interesting, but quickly you realize that it's both shallow and about as subtle as a train crash. The gun play is very average, and the world itself is just a long series of (boring) tropes.

A short, enjoyable (?) experience about mental illness couched in surrealism.

I would give this one star, but I'm giving it the extra half star for the game's depth. Aside from that, I'd rather watch paint dry. The game play loop is fairly basic for a survival game, which is fine, but since the gameplay itself is rather mundane, combined with the game's graphics that look like it's 2002, there's not much to keep someone going here.

Also, how can this game be in early access for 12 years?
