Far Cry 5 is a great example of how the franchise can manage to keep coming back. Far Cry does not innovate often, which holds it back at times, an issue that Ubisoft consistently has across their IPs, but FC5 genuinely feels like they were trying something new, a rural area instead of the wildlands, a new theme and direction.
The game is, as usual, very fun in the actual gameplay department, Far Cry is great at just being a fun shooter with a plethora of ways for players to take down the bad guys. This game, specifically, seems to have been crafted thinking of how creative the player could be, and it exceeded expectations when it comes to this aspect.
The story is good, solid, the villains are, as usual, well written and acted. The ending does make you think what direction Ubisoft was going to take the franchise in, however. It makes some sense if you read into the Far Cry lore, but it will forever be a headscratcher.
