The game feels as if you are performing various tasks without any point. The protagonist is mute and never during the entire game expressed any emotion. As a result the game feels like you are doing random people favors as the protagonist is completely apathetic.
The game does not give you any freedom with the Jacob Seed missions. From time to time you are forcefully captured wherever you are and you find yourself in a cage where Jacob Seed will put you through a kill course. I was intrigued at first but after being captured for the millionth time and playing the course I really wasn't at the edge of my seat. It was painfully obvious that you would at the end have to kill one of your own but even if you did figure that out, there was no reward, yet I wouldn't have been in shock if I had prefired my ally as there was no character depth. I just got disappointed and moved on.
The one sole reason why I did not give Far Cry 5 1/10 stars is because of the combat and outposts. It was really much more interesting capturing outpost when you had so many ways to approach. Bullet drop and bullet time made head shots far more satisfying than just screen centering, though this could not possibly weigh up the fact that the story was extremely lacking.
I am in honest awe at how good reviews this game has gotten especially crediting the story and its depth and "darkness". I am late to review this but I hope I have persuaded someone to pass up this game as there are millions of games that are more worth to play.
