Far Cry 6

Far Cry 6 is a sandbox in a huge open world, the first-person luter-player with RPG and Crafts elements. The player again finds himself on the island, where in the role of the heroine of Dani Rohas, by the will of fate that joined the revolutionaries from Libertada, she opposes the cruel dictator Anton Castillo. The basic gameplay, the set of missions and the construction of a single campaign follow the patterns of past Far Cry, but the players found new Ubisoft ideas.

The Far Cry 6 action takes place in the fictional island state of Yara. The prototype, in every sense, was Cuba, but Ubisoft processed and diversified the idea of ​​a freedom -loving island in the heart of the Caribbean basin, offering its own vision.

Yara-a beautiful highly detailed world-postcard, but with an emphasis on realism, attention to details and trifles. Bright colors changed to moderate and warm: the beaches are not so golden, and the water is not so blue. Instead of dense jungle - sparse palm and deciduous forests. The world is truly huge, cut by rocky mountain ranges and deep rivers, wide valleys and marshy lowlands, with Flora and Fauna characteristic of subtropics.

The island is densely populated, entangled in a network of roads and comfortable forks for moving, connecting many farms, villages and small villages. You can even fly by helicopter, although the sky is controlled by anti -aircraft guns. The capital of Esperans was declared as a full -fledged city, but only one district is available for study without the expected “verticality”, Parkuru and the chance to climb every house.

Предпосылки событий Far Cry 6 возникли в 60-х: во время коммунистического восстания отца Антона отстранили от власти и убили у него на глазах, а он лишился почти всего. This greatly distorted his views of Castillo Jr.-he decided that the island was stolen by his family. The collapse of the USSR allowed Anton to take the post of El President, but instead of further democratization, he moved to the authoritarian dictatorship and repression.

2021. Due to the long economic and technological insulation, Yar was stuck in the 80s. The country needs a jerk that Anton understands as "the highest good." But the bet on slave labor, especially in the cultivation of the miraculous tobacco “Viviro”, 20-year-old tyranny and various abuses, overwhelmed the bowl of popular patience. The dissatisfied formed groups of partisans, but the regime easily restrained them due to distraction throughout the island and disorganization. Everything has changed with the advent of Dani Rohas.

Концепция «добрые повстанцы против злого диктатора» всё еще основа сюжета, в котором годные по сути миссии, толкающие рассказ вперед, разбавлены мелочными филлерами с беготней через всю карту.

Содержание же вышло абсурдным балаганом, шито белыми нитками и актуальной левой «повесточкой», мечется от веселых тусовок школьников к злодействам режима, показанным крайне серьезно. From time to time, the writers create unexpected situations and throw in "what a twist," but they do it so foolishly or stupidly that it further breaks the perception of the plot.

They were only able to reveal relationships and show personalities from different sides for the father and son Castillo:

They have a separate storyline, weakly connected to the main action, and the protagonist will only face Anton a couple of times, although Esposito played the role "excellently."

Dani Rojas is a bland character: one of many who fight for freedom for others, not for themselves. Because of this, she is used, deceived, and betrayed, and she allows it and doesn’t notice. The writers failed to portray the main character as an ordinary mortal. However, unlike FC5, Rojas is a character with some backstory, appearance, and comments on the situation.

There are many secondary characters on both sides; they are faceless, stereotypical, with superficial backstories and images. The bad ones are caricatured minion-cannibals of the main villain. The good ones are inclusive, racially and gender-diverse fighters for all that is good, freedom, and equality.

The narrative has taken a step forward due to numerous scenes on the engine, where you can view the protagonist (and everything happening) from the side and listen to dialogues. The setup of the videos is simple and without complex animations.

Outside the main story, Far Cry 6 offers additional story quests (from allies and separate ones) with small arcs connected to the events. Everything is in the same vein as the foundation. The promised "story about revolution" does not even come close to revealing its potential.

The combat system has migrated from Far Cry 5, becoming even more diverse and arcade-like (a la GTA 5, Just Cause 3), but most animations and the implementation of shooting remained at the level of Far Cry 3. The hero is a true "one warrior in the field," not limited in the amount of carried weapons, ammunition, gear, and crafting resources, shooting rockets from his backpack.

There are more types and options for weapons, although you cannot pick them up. Since Yara has long been under blockade, the locals are forced to make do with what is available on the island. The local gunsmith Juan assembles makeshift gadgets from various household junk: a disco gun that shoots CDs, a chainsaw, an EMP rifle, etc. A gimmick added for fun, not for utility.

The familiar firearms of the series have not gone anywhere. They are divided by ranks, and the higher the rank, the better the characteristics of the weapon and the more various attachments can be attached to it. However, due to the difference in levels, a pistol can be better than a machine gun, and a sniper rifle may not be able to take down a high-level enemy with one headshot. A new feature in the shooting mechanics is the types of ammunition: armor-piercing, explosive, and incendiary, as well as a small chance of weapon jamming.

The unique ("golden") weapons with excellent characteristics and already equipped with the best attachments have not gone anywhere. Such weapons can be found in the game world or purchased in the in-game store.

Another innovation is the "supremo" backpacks that provide passive perks (more ammo, grenades, medkits, one-hit kills, etc.), auxiliary gadgets (turrets, distractions, etc.), and an ultimate ability (rocket barrage, burning everything around, quick healing, etc.).

The trading, hunting, and resource gathering systems, as well as crafting necessary items at workbenches, are still present. Moreover, crafting touches almost all elements of the game and requires accumulating a lot of resources (gathered in Yara and given as rewards), which moves Far Cry 6 towards loot shooter territory.

Enemy NPC hordes are now significantly larger, but summoning mercenaries is no longer possible. The local Amigos — the friendly crocodile Guapo, the cute disabled dog Chorizo, the fighting rooster Chicharron, and a couple of other animals — are only good for distraction, and they are even less useful than the bots before.

Far Cry 6 tries to engage the player by throwing various, albeit primitive and secondary, activities every 2 minutes. The essence of most of them is the destruction of NPCs in various ways. All accompanying mechanics have not disappeared — exploring the game world, treasure hunting, moving with a wingsuit and grappling hook, hunting, and fishing. But even far from civilization, the game will not leave you alone.

The characteristic series mandatory elements have been removed, and there are no interconnected campaign missions, quests, freeplay, or world exploration. Due to the overload of mechanics, the signature sandbox works worse, and due to the monotonous grind, sometimes you will have to push through.

The progression has been simplified; there are no characteristics or skill trees for the protagonist. Skills remain, scattered across clothing in the form of perks. It not only changes the visuals but also provides bonuses to various parameters: faster running, better bullet protection, etc. The best clothing, like weapons, can be found in the game world or purchased in the store.

To win, you will need to find the best combinations of weapons and gear to match your playstyle. In the best traditions of auto-leveling, all levels gained by the player only increase the hostility of enemies and the game environment.

There are also some small innovations: several breeds of horses and calling any transport to almost any place, the ability to bribe military personnel, and the construction and development of "rebel bases" in each region of Yara. And after completing the game, it will continue… anew in the "rebellion" mode.

The online part of Far Cry 6 offers two-player co-op. You can complete the entire campaign with a friend, run around in free play with random players, or carry out a large "special operation" on the map. The list of activities and the approach to missions does not change compared to single-player mode.
