At some point, when youвЂ™ve killed hundreds upon hundreds of cultists singlehandedly, you have to wonder why one of them didnвЂ™t just put a bullet in your brain and have done with it instead of monologuing to you for minutes on end. Far Cry 5 has a recurring bit where youвЂ™re captured and then somehow escape at the last minute-a conceit thatвЂ™s hard to believe the first time it happens, and downright miraculous the seventh time. The overarching story of each region also hits the same few plot points. As a result itвЂ™s constantly reiterating information youвЂ™ve already learned, doubling back on itself to make sure youвЂ™re keeping up with a story thatвЂ™s really not all that complicated. Far Cry 5 seems to have had trouble navigating the fact the player could learn any of its second act plot points in any order. Regardless, the open-ended structure leads to pacing issues, as well as a persistent feeling of deja vu. Once youвЂ™ve got enough, you take the fight to the lieutenants and then, eventually, Joseph himself. Your only goal is to build up вЂњResistance PointsвЂќ in each, which you do by attacking outposts, blowing up trucks, rescuing civilians, and doing more formalized story missions.

Much like Ghost Recon: Wildlands, you can take on these regions in any order.

Montana is split into five regions: one small tutorial area, another small island where JosephвЂ™s headquartered, and then three enormous sections led by JosephвЂ™s lieutenants/вЂќfamily.вЂќ John rules the farmlands to the west, Jacob the Whitehall Mountains to the north, and Faith the Henbane River to the east. YouвЂ™re stranded in Montana and shortly thereafter are co-opted to spearhead a resistance movement. Needless to say, JosephвЂ™s arrest doesnвЂ™t go as planned. These вЂњPeggies,вЂќ as the locals call them, are heavily armed and essentially a riff on the Branch Davidians, but large and powerful enough to basically take over the whole of Montana. ItвЂ™s very reminiscent of the modern Fallout titles in that respect, and very different from Ubisoft circa 2007 to 2016. The reward might be as simple as вЂњWow, whoever lived here really liked baseball,вЂќ and that was okay with me.

Chances are it held more of the same weapons and medkits and so on that I already had stocked, but there was always the possibility of a bizarre mission-maybe investigating aliens, a haunted house, or a berserk moose. Flying my helicopter towards the next mission I might spot a cabin peaking out from the treetops, then swoop down to check it out.

As with Origins, I found myself engaging with Far Cry 5вЂ™s side-content far more often than I did in 3 and 4. A map lying half-discarded on a chair might tell you of a nearby farm, while glancing at signs on the side of the road will alert you to lucrative hunting grounds or fishing spots.

Another might have word of a local celebrity holed up in a hotel down the street, or a cache of weapons in the back room of a diner, or assign you to kill a marauding bear in the adjacent hills. A townsperson might tell you about a mechanic who fled the area, leaving behind a tooled-up car in a nearby garage. Rather than dumping icons scattershot across the map, youвЂ™ll instead set off in search of information.
