Far Cry 6 Review Summary

StrongCritic Consensus

Gameplay Variety

Far Cry 6's classic gameplay successfully mixes some fresh ideas.

Open World

Yara has many of the best areas of the franchise.

Narrative

Far Cry 6's narrative misses some of its key notes.

While Far Cry 6 doesn't bring too many new ideas, Far Cry 6's gameplay and world still deliver the explosive fun the series is known for, even if it misses a few beats.

Critic Reviews for Far Cry 6

IGN

Jon Ryan
8 / 10.0

Far Cry 6 smooths over a lot of the bumps that have cropped up in the past few games and even though it misses some steps, especially with its new inventory system, it's the best the series has been in years.

75 / 100

Yara is super lush and wonderful to explore, but the story and main villain are predictable.

No Recommendation / Blank

There's plenty that's familiar about the latest entry in Ubisoft's open world shooter, but that doesn't stop it being a blast.

Jade King

This is a game that understands the importance of fighting back against fascism and taking a stand as part of your own personal revolution, yet it’s often held back by gameplay that wants to distance itself from that idea as you fawn over cute puppies and fire off outlandish grenade launchers. Yet it’s still a start, and a bold step forward for a company that has long sat on the fence of political discussion. If you’re after more Far Cry, this delivers and pushes the formula forward into exciting new territory.

Rachel Weber

Marks a new era for the Far Cry series and delivers more explosive action and adventure than ever before, even as the story fumbles some of its more upsetting plot points.

Whether you're pushing the mainline story forward or pursuing side missions, Far Cry 6 provides a cornucopia of fun and engaging activities, wrapped in the series' best gameplay and most beautiful setting

7 / 10

Though it can be really fun, especially when it descends into absolute chaos, Far Cry 6 is overstuffed and disjointed, with so many ideas that it's tough to focus.

Josh Broadwell

Far Cry 6 prefers playing guerrilla over more serious reflection because “blowing up s*** is fun,” and Ubisoft just isn’t quite ready to give that up yet.
