Otherwise, the guns are the usual FPS mix of submachine guns, sniper rifles, assault rifles and a few different heavy items including rocket launchers and flamethrowers.
This has been cleverly designed by Ubisoft to a degree that it does most of the hard work for you, automatically aiming itself so that a quick snapshot could easily bounce around a car and bring down an enemy cowering in cover. Once again, you’ve the option to tackle each encounter with stealth or open combat.ī oth of these options are satisfying, and one of the most enjoyable additions to Far Cry New Dawn is a saw blade launcher which can bounce projectiles off of any surface that isn’t the floor to take out enemies without a whisper. It’s easy to feel the punch of every shot, as you clutch several different weapons to your chest. New Dawn, a technicolour riot amidst a sea of grimdark post-apoc shooters, looks like a very different beast.įar Cry New Dawn‘s gunplay is tight. The core loop of the game feels nearly identical to that we’ve seen several times before.īut, here’s the thing – Ubisoft has nailed down the sweet spot of open-world shoot and loot titles so well, that Far Cry New Dawn is fun even if every gameplay beat is telegraphed and the story of one out-of-water protagonist building a revolution to overthrow a despotic presence is completely threadbare at this stage. Far Cry New Dawn is best viewed as a spin off sequel from Far Cry 5, carrying on from the end of that game but transporting the action to a post-apocalyptic setting, a nightmarish vision of Hope County that’s covered in vibrant overgrowth and armed assailants.
Sadly, while Far Cry New Dawn has a lot of interesting new ideas, and it largely doesn’t do enough to distance itself from the franchise it spins off from. If you’re not a total mark for the Far Cry franchise though, the familiarity can breed contempt and the concept of playing the same game over and over again might tire you out.
This is great news if, like me, you fell in love with Far Cry 3 and have eagerly hoovered up every installment since. Still, the joke is on Vaas, because Far Cry 3 did so many things right that Ubisoft leaned hard into all of the things that made the game interesting: an unhinged-yet-magnetic antagonist, the slow drip of upgrades as the player plods their way around the map wiped out icons, sneaking your way into an enemy outpost to disable the alarms before you start shooting. Far Cry 3 ‘s deranged protagonist Vaas entered the annals of pop culture quotes by asking players “Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact… same f*****g thing over and over again expecting s**t to change That.
