Far Cry 6 (2021 Video Game)
6/10
Sadly disappointing

Warning: Spoilers
Let me preface this with my love for the Far Cry series, namely Far Cry 5, which I have replayed more than any game I've ever played. What happened to 6? Why is a game with more content, boring compared to its predecessors? I'll tell you why, it's because all of that extra content, is worthless. We've got customizable gear...with perks that do very little, or nothing at all unless a certain scenario happens. We have a BUNCH of guns that are customizable, yet again with mods that need to meet a criteria before they actually kick in. And Overclocked weapons? After Hours of grinding for gun powder, The non overclocked versions can be upgraded just as good, if not better than the overclocked. It's like they added a bunch of features to make the game fun, but straight up forgot the fun. Bandito missions? Next to worthless. I have to wait two hours for 300 pesos? What's the point?!

What it all truly boils down to though...is the story. I have no attachment to it. In Far Cry 5, I could NOT get enough of the story or the characters. I was drawn in to the world and felt the perils of the characters. In 6, I just feel like a washed up Scorpio from Just Cause. Bad writing isn't the only thing to blame. The sheer number of side quests is laughable. Why am I picking up 35 side quests while I'm literally ON MY WAY to a main mission? I do have to say, the stranger things episode was cool. I love Ubisoft games and yes I've put many hours into this, but I am without a doubt, disappointed.
