We played all day the expected Far Cry 6 -apkrig
The Far Cry series will be expanded at the beginning of October with another sequel. Information that you couldn’t miss, especially if you don’t mind just a small evolution of game mechanics across the last three or four parts. The question, of course, was whether Far Cry 6 would enter the comforting formula somehow more, and whether the developers would want to pick up the gauntlet in the form of expanded new console options. I was optimistic in this regard, and I was fascinated by the set in the first trailer – we’ll look at Cuba, even though none of the developers admit it, and they’re still talking about Yara Island. The main antagonist is also played by the charismatic actor Giancarlo Esposito, from whom fans will probably expect no less great performance than in the role of Gustav Fring from the series Gingerbread Dad. So all that remained was to wait for a playable demo and find out what replaced the base raids, how the enemy’s behavior changed, what the developers put in the plot, and where Far Cry 6 would finally stop resembling previous games. I have about six hours of playing behind me and brief answers to the previous questions would be nothing, nothing, nothing and nowhere. I have the more detailed ones for you in the following preview.
The hobby of our time
Before we get into the first impressions of the fresh Far Cry 6 launch, I have two warnings for you. The first is about spoilers – you don’t have to worry, the developers have clearly instructed us on what we can share with you and what we can’t, so as not to inadvertently reveal something that may play an important role in the next stages of the game. Therefore, we will not say anything about the complete introduction, and I will not comment in any way on what actually brought the main character or the heroine into a dispute with the dictator and self-proclaimed El President Anton Castillo. The second thing concerns the technical limitations that must be taken into account, especially nowadays, when it is not possible to physically transport to the place where the preview event could take place. In other words, everything went remotely through streaming gaming, but while Immortals and Assassin’s Creed don’t mind so much, the input lag shooter suffers really badly, and in retrospect, what shots I took for you while playing Far Cry 6, I it felt like I was playing a shooter for the first time in my life. But even such are the current possibilities, so enough chatter and up to Cuba. I mean, Yara, but you understand me.
Leaving aside the full introduction, the first steps in the game will take you to the island of Santuario, home to the local resistance cell – guerrillas, if you will – and most likely you could spend quite a few hours here. They would be filled with the usual activities you know intimately from the Far Cry series. The first is, of course, the attack on the checkpoints of the Castillo army patrols, which will give you the opportunity to just shoot and at the same time calm the situation on the island a bit. Unlike the previous parts, however, this is not so necessary, because if you do not explicitly run in front of the soldiers with a rifle in hand, they will not start noticing you. The developers, of course, explain this by saying that Dani Rojas, for whom, or whom you will play the whole story, is a member of the guerrilla, and we guess that until later stages he will be able to act incognito. Translated into the language of the players, you don’t have to clean the island just to be able to move on it, which is a welcome measure of benevolence, especially when the liberation of bases – albeit variable and often quite funny – is simply taken over.
A hair-drawn story
Another essential part of the experience, whether you move on any part of the view of a really large map, is of course the story itself, of which we saw only a part, supplemented by subsequent interviews with a very diverse group of supporting characters. If you were expecting something more serious, if not more adult, I must unfortunately disappoint you, but also myself. The ensemble Far Cry 6 is full of colors, characters of characters at the level of caricatures, everything is heavily laden with places, perhaps a little forced accent, and the ends do not take the more selfish scenes of more and more collaborators who join the guerrilla and help fight the kind oppression of Antón Castilla. At least don’t expect any deep-seated debates at the beginning, don’t even expect strong moments in reality, because all the game presented in the available part was just an absurd dialed action or brutality that gradually grinds the player so much that such moments sound rather silly. I don’t want to crash the story a priori, because I really haven’t seen much of it, and especially the relationship between Anton and his son can start a pretty interesting story, but I still can’t get rid of the feeling that I actually know what end the game is coming to and it doesn’t add to me .
Apart from the story, in which, by the way, the scene in which the series steals itself and lets you set fire to a field with a local drug ignites to the sound of the song Bella Ciao remains Far Cry 6, an action sandbox that you probably expect. The gameplay does not come with any bugs or shortcomings and it can be seen that Ubisoft already has mastered the concept to the letter. It repeats previously introduced things, such as using an anchor, crafting, involving vehicles, including helicopters and planes, and of course a lot of side tasks, but the resulting mix is varied enough and, unlike the story, there is no cramping. Do you want to parachute to your destination? Without all. Do you want to attack the base with a tank you saw nearby? Sure, it’s directly offered. Or would you rather follow a silent approach, eliminate all places from which soldiers could call patrols, and then gradually, one by one, eliminate them? You can do it too and the game will reward you for it. There really isn’t a problem with this, and of course the action is seconded by a wide range of weapons, in the case of Far Cry 6 influenced by the fact that you have to improve them to a large extent with a self-domo style.
Don’t look for meaning
As for the move to another island, there is again a frantic action scene in which the enemies spawn on two ships from virtually everywhere. It’s Far Cry, of course, but when you’ve been shooting everything that’s been moving for fifteen minutes, mortar shells are falling all around you, helicopters are swirling overhead, and everything’s on fire, you just have to grimace and ask if this is some joke, or another phase of that boundless sandbox. The awareness of how Far Cry 6 will be a great game remains much more interesting on the move towards the shores of El Este Island, because even this is not a destination and previous rumors that it will be the largest part of the series take on a whole new dimension. Whether it’s good or not, time will tell, but you probably know my personal preferences and I know in advance that there will be no better for me. But I spent very little time with the game on the big courts, I still can’t comment on one of the most interesting things at the moment and I want to believe that there is more in the game than we could try in the demo. For example, I am attracted by the cooperation, which I could only devote a few final minutes to, and through which another layer of entertainment will undoubtedly enter the game. It’s a pity that I can already confirm the teleport of a teammate near you, if, God forbid, he goes to the opposite side with a vision to try something on his own.
We will talk more about Far Cry 6 in October, when we get our hands on the full version and we will be able to diligently go through the offered content. No one can doubt that it will be an experience for tens of hours, as well as that we will probably experience a lot of tense moments in it, supplemented by awkward moments in an attempt at harsh humor. Of course, there will also be the use of a semi-paralyzed dachshund or crocodile in a T-shirt, which are without any surprises a full-fledged part of guerrillas, which only underlines what Far Cry 6 is and what you have to prepare for.
