It's Deputy Hunting Season!

It works, but gets boring VERY quickly. Maybe I've played too many FPS games, but nothing in this felt exciting. Not the story, not the gun play, not the open world, not the plot, not the upgrades, not the vehicle mechanics. If generic shooter had a business card it would be this game.

Ubisoft: Let's throw the player into a mess of an open world and let them "create their fun" with no cohesion at all.

Gets stale after 2-3 hours. Open World distribution is muddled, mission design is non-existent, encounters with enemies in the overworld are way too constant, exploration is mostly pointless, weapons feel the same and lack punchiness, the weather system in this game is a baffling downgrade compared to its predecessors (it doesn't even rain, wtf), narrative is GODAWFUL and the ending is a giant middle finger to the player. Point is: this game fails to even establish a minimally competent and coherent open world (something they did beautifully in Far Cry 3). Extra modes and DLCs are there, they simply exist. Positives? Some collactables have some fun platforming, customization is surprisingly good and the countryside atmosphere still sells, I guess. And I suppose you can still make some fun with the arsenal you're given, but trust me when I say you'll get bored by the third time you do an outpost. Better to just watch StealthGamerBR.

Don't ask me why I played this much back in 2018, I was in denial on how bad this game was and was trying to convince myself it wasn't THAT bad.

3.5/10.0
Ubisoft just can't make a good game anymore and Far Cry 5 was pretty much the beginning of the slippery slope we're witnessing. Far Cry 5 is really bad and not worth even on sale. Play Far Cry 3 and ignore this one. I truly hope AC:Shadows is the final nail in their coffin.
