![]() ![]() Far Cry New Dawn seems to increase the variety of weapons available to the player, even if most of the variety is just slight variations. The gunplay in Far Cry New Dawn feels good, just as its predecessors. These aren’t just lucrative–they’re some of the most fun moments we had in the game. Each features a large map and different theme where you must seek out and retrieve a GPS-tagged package and manage to make your way back to an extraction point to reap some great rewards, including rare crafting materials. In addition to taking settlements and outposts, Far Cry New Dawn introduced Expeditions that you can undertake. Each upgrade you give to the people of Prosperity helps you out in some direct way: either allowing you to craft better items, use healing more effectively, or even increasing the amount of health you have. Prosperity is tied directly to your character’s progression. ![]() While Far Cry New Dawn has several settlements/outposts you can take (and take back) from the Highwaymen, the settlement known as Prosperity acts as the homebase. But here’s the thing: Far Cry New Dawn actually managed to turn my searing hatred for Joseph Seed into an emotion other than rage. There is even a point where you can finally kill him. If you hate Joseph Seed and his New Eden group, like I did, you’ll be happy to know he’s not having an easy time of the apocalypse either. Several characters from Far Cry 5 return, including main antagonist Joseph Seed. Taking cues from Far Cry 3 DLC Blood Dragon, there is abundant use of neon, and their use of colors follow from previous Far Cry games, but the aesthetic reminds me of what we’ve seen of Rage 2 so far: whimsically colorful, but dangerous. Ubisoft is no stranger to making these “expansions” takes place in the previous main series’ game’s map, but In Far Cry New Dawn, it actually makes sense narratively. Most of the major landmarks are there, if slightly altered. ![]() ![]() The apocalypse hasn’t really done much to change Hope County, so it’s the same map from Far Cry 5 with a few visual changes. Hope County is the perfect setting for mayhem, just as it was in Far Cry 5. The nuclear fallout has made some plants vibrantly colored, and turned all the deer into creatures that look like albino reindeer, but there aren’t large mutated monsters running around like you would expect in the Fallout series. Hope County, Montana, seems to be thriving, with abundant plant and wildlife with very little of the radiation and other hazards you would expect from a nuclear bomb world. While it’s technically spoilers for the events of Far Cry 5, this information is plastered all off the promotional material, but you’ve been warned: it is 17 years after the bombs fell at the end of Far Cry 5, and the world has survived nuclear winter. A group called the Highwaymen ambushes your group, led by sadistic twins Mikey and Lou-two women who have led the Highwaymen on a destructive rampage, killing and taking everything they want along the way. You play as a Security Captain for a group who has been helping settlers rebuild their settlements across the United States. You can fly helicopters, pilot all manner of vehicles, and sow all sorts of destruction across a Hope County, Montana, that has been recovering from nuclear war. Far Cry New Dawn, developed by Ubisoft, is an open world first person action game that you can play solo, or with drop-in/drop-out co-op. ![]()
