A new low point for Ubisoft. It's a bit fun starting off, although the jank is apparent from the very beginning. It doesn't take long for everything to wear thin though, as you'll be doing the same exact things over and over and over, whether it be for the main missions or side content. The story is generic nonsense, with plenty of unlikable characters thrown at you nonstop. Giancarlo Esposito surprisingly didn't phone it in - his performance is great, the highlight of the game even, but you even get sick of him by the end when the story completely turns to shit.

Really disappointing to hear, I thought Far Cry 5 was the best of the bunch but New Dawn was quite a step down. Didn't think it was a downward spiral though.

I also see 5 as the highlight of the series. One of the few good things about 6 is that they heavily toned down the unnecessary RPG mechanics from New Dawn, that game was least favorite in the series until now.
