“i dont understand why people hate this game its my 2nd best far cry game its like fun to do stuff the side quests but main story is really bad”
“Far Cry New Dawn is literally what happens after the nuclear ending of Far Cry 5. Same map, same place just 17 years later after everything got blown up. But instead of going full dark post-apocalypse, the game does…”
“i was hesitant to play new dawn after seeing all of the lukewarm reviews, but im really glad i gave it a go. 100% the game just today, and i enjoyed every second of it. i will say, i got it on a deep sale in a far cry…”

“I don't get it. This is the only Far Cry game I have ever played, and I don't get it. I bought this game because it was on sale, it was the last "Far Cry" (bought it before 6 came out) and I never played any in the…”

“Far Cry New Dawn caught my attention mainly because of its graphics, which are truly impressive. The colorful post-apocalyptic world feels fresh and distinct compared to other entries in the series. Unfortunately, the…”

“A direct sequel to Far Cry 5 set after the collapse, New Dawn brings back Hope County along with some previous characters, showing how they've changed after the collapse. I wonder how they even survived? Hurk's still…”
“better than expected, and great sequel to FC5. although not as good and nowhere near as good as FC3 & FC4”
“Underrated. Going for 100% is pretty easy and very achievable, so it is a nice quick game to complete without dragging on. I actually really enjoyed the expeditions, the extraction style gameplay was a big highlight for…”

“Far Cry® New Dawn is a good game, although I personally think it's more like a DLC for Far Cry 5, and as such, it should have been released as DLC, not a standalone game. That's just my opinion. The game is quite…”

“I can’t support the addition of a health bar system in a Far Cry game. Landing a clean headshot only for it not to be a one shot kill completely kills the experience for me. It undermines what the series used to do so…”

“As a Far Cry installation goes, it's mostly solid. However, it's annoyingly apparent that microtransactions were a major part of the game's design. I'm sure Ubisoft is to blame rather than the dev team as is typically…”

“Far Cry 3 version whatever. Despite doing the same thing since the third game, Far Cry, which was enjoyable, managed to turn me off with this one. I can't understand how you ruined the classic Far Cry experience. How…”
“Mediocre stand-alone game that should've been released as a DLC to Far Cry 5. It’s the same map, albeit slightly smaller and given a neon-apocalypse coat of paint. The gameplay is the same as the preivous game, with…”

“So overhated, really good game, good gameplay and alright story. Its short but sweet nothing seems to be overstretched. Let down poorly by the villians IMO. Id pick it up on sale for sure”
