Given that Ubisoft took the pain of designing third-person view, I would have loved it if they allowed you to switch between first and third-person view in combat and driving too. Not only do you see them in cutscenes, you also see them in third-person view at friendly camps.
And for the first time since the first-person shooter franchise began, the protagonist in Far Cry 6 has a face. After being a support studio on previous entries, and co-developing Far Cry 5 with Ubisoft Montréal, Ubisoft Toronto finally takes the lead on a Far Cry game for the first time. This is where the new ideas start to come in. But after witnessing Anton's horrors first hand, Dani joins the guerrilla movement Libertad that is trying to free Yara. The protagonist, a former FND officer Dani Rojas - playable as a woman (Nisa Gunduz) or a man (Sean Rey) - wants to do exactly that in the beginning. His 300,000-strong armed force Fuerzas Nacionales de Defensa (FND) controls the land, the skies, and the waters.
Castillo believes sacrifices are necessary to achieve that dream, so he begins ruling Yara with an iron fist. Yara is ruled by Antón Castillo, played by Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian's Giancarlo Esposito, who was essentially elected on the promise to “Make Yara Great Again”. That said, the world of Far Cry 6, Yara - a fictional Caribbean island that is heavily based on Cuba in many aspects - is the biggest you'll ever see in a Far Cry game.
It feels like padding, though it's nowhere near as bad as on Ubisoft's other major franchise, Assassin's Creed. But between those admittedly enjoyable adventures, Far Cry 6 will also make you do a series of things that aren't too different from one another. Far Cry 6 has moments of genuine inspiration where its combination of tropical paradise, co-op support, and new ideas fuse together to deliver something memorable. It often retreads what have become Ubisoft clichés. Far Cry 6 - releasing Thursday worldwide - is not a great game.
