Far Cry 5 takes you to Hope County Montana, and some of the poorest parts of America, where far-right militia run amok and the law-abiding people face a bleak future. You embark on a quest to systematically take down the so-called Project at Eden's Gate militia led by a self-proclaimed messenger of God and his band of three siblings, who each control one of three zones in Hope County specializing in guns, drugs, or religion. The open-world first-person shooter has many interesting call outs to the state of political discourse in America.

Based on the latest iteration of the Dunia engine, the game runs on DirectX 11, with average hardware requirements to build a realistic rendition of the great American outdoors.

As written, that pitch goes like this: Past games in the series spanned the globe, taking open world exploration and first person shooting to “exotic” locales, where you blew up shit in the name of beating the Bad Guys. Now the action is coming “home” to a fictional county in Montana, where you’ll team up with everyday Americans to face down a nefarious doomsday cult called the Project at Eden’s Gate. It’s a group led by by a man who stands in front of an American flag and, wielding preternatural charisma and commanding the baleful force of his loyal soldiers, preaches on faith, freedom, firearms, and the end of the world.

Did you like the game?

I played some of it. Became kind of repetitive. Fun things to do.

Beat the game and played a bit of New Dawn. Never finished it.
