The verdict
A huge, pretty, chaotic Far Cry sandbox with fun gunplay and a great Esposito villain, but a weak story, repetitive loop and removed skill trees. Skip it at full price or if you want a grounded or story-driven game.
Great for
Series fans and open-world players who want chaotic gunplay, co-op with a friend, and cheap sandbox fun
Main risk
Repetitive outpost loop and a weak, cringey story make it feel like a worse Far Cry 3/5 clone
What players love
Fun, chaotic gunplay and gadgets
