The framing conceit of Far Cry 6 is that you, Dani Rojas, are a super guerrilla fighter, perfectly suited to act as a near-one-person army in the battle to overthrow dictator Anton Castillo. There's a whole lot to do, plan for, and keep in mind at any given time, and a large portion of it can feel superfluous and overbearing at best, repetitive and dull at worst. While a lot of its ideas seem interesting on paper, in practice, they're easily ignored. In fact, the game is cluttered with systems, from base-building to weapon-modding to sending guerrilla teams on missions.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot'sįar Cry 6 is overwhelmingly full of stuff. As revolutionary guerrilla Dani Rojas, all those options are available to you again in Far Cry 6-and more. Best of all, I can do it without thinking about all the other junk I'm lugging around-or worrying about that stupid crocodile catching someone's attention and blowing my cover.įar Cry games have long been gigantic open-world affairs, providing players with all sorts of things to do, from driving different vehicles to flying around with wingsuits to hunting animals to experiencing side missions. I know this because I've done it so many times already in countless bases just like this and it works exceedingly well. I'm going to pull out the suppressed rifle I got on the second mission of the game, complete with the first set of mods I made in the game's tutorial, and headshot each of the soldiers in turn until Far Cry 6 tells me I've successfully captured the base.


But as I gaze out on the Yaran military base ahead of me, I know I'm not going to use any of those things. I have a missile launcher on my back, a flamethrower in my hand, a host of poison grenades and throwing knives, and a killer crocodile that attacks on demand.
