"It wants to say something about our world, about evangelical ecstasy, gun advocacy and nihilism in America's heartlands, but all of that plays second fiddle to the real core of any Far Cry game: a fantasy of conquest that imposes its own criteria on the writing - casts split neatly between identikit footsoldiers and larger-than-life lieutenants, a struggle for survival that can only ever involve the gradual flipping of nodes on a map. but all of that plays second fiddle to the real core: a fantasy of conquest" "It wants to say something about our world, evangelical ecstasy, gun advocacy and nihilism. In his Eurogamer review, Edwin Evans-Thirwell describes a story that is "utterly at odds with itself." Originally perceived to be a commentary on real-life religious extremists and other issues in President Trump's America, Ubisoft has since distanced itself from this notion and this certainly appears to be the case in the final product. The fifth main entry in the franchise is definitely geared towards the latter, although this juxtaposes awkwardly with the game's narrative.įar Cry 5 is set in the fictional Hope County of Montana and tasks players with bringing down an extremist religious cult led by the Seed family. Instead, Ubisoft's newest blockbuster attempts to build on a series that has gradually shifted from the gritty, gun-jamming tension of Far Cry 2 to the action-packed, elephant-riding escapades of Far Cry 4. Nor does it try to, according to the game's reviews. Let's get the most obvious question out of the way: No, Far Cry 5 does not make a political statement on the current state of the USA.
