Farcry 5: A typical generic AAA game nowadays
Soulless...is perhaps an appropriate word to sum up my experience with this game. FC 5 is like one of those shiny, glamorous, good-looking lasses. You got infatuated the moment you saw her, had a blast with her for a few hours or days, and then realized how empty and mind numbingly boring she is. Yeah, that is FC 5. Great first impression. Probably one of the best graphics I've ever seen in this generation. The sound, the control, and the gunplay all felt top-notch. But the actual gameplay loop is just shallow as a puddle. Doing the same repetitive uninspiring stuff ALL THE TIME. I won't bother you with the details, but basically you are just shooting everybody. That's it. Such waste to this beautiful and detailed map.
But the bigger problem is the story and immersion. The story is so far fetched and full of nonsense it seems funny and comical at times, even though the game tries so hard to put up a serious tone. It's ridiculous. Immersion is completely lacking. I never even for one second felt like I was saving the county from an evil cult. I don't feel connected with any of the characters in the game. I literally couldn't care less about them, don't even know what most of them are called. They are just so bland and uninteresting. It's like interacting with life-like robots, whose sole purpose is to dispense quests and information to you. They feel like NPCs in an MMO, to put in a way.
Lifeless and soulless. I'll leave it there.
(BUT, if you are just looking for some eye candies, or a showcase of modern gaming graphics, or just a GTA-like shooting experience, yeah get it, at sale. At twenty bucks at the moment, it's alright.)
