Far Cry New Dawn will feel pretty familiar to those who have played previous entries in the series. Especially Far Cry 5, as it uses a modified version of the same map. But while the gunplay and general objectives aren't anything radically new, the way you progress through the story is fairly different. The bombs have fallen, civilization is no more, and humanity is on the brink of extinction. In other words: It's time to let loose. And that's exactly what you'll do as you traverse the post-apocalyptic landscape of "Far Cry: New Dawn."

The one thing noticed playing Far Cry New Dawn is that Hope County doesn't seem all that terribly worse off for having gone through a nuclear war.

The latest Far Cry spinoff takes us back to Hope County, Montana, the setting for all of the events in its fifth main game. While we're dealing with a completely new story line, (almost) entirely different characters, and an elaborately re-skinned environment, newcomers shouldn't plan on enjoying this chapter sans Far Cry 5 knowledge. Note that saying "shouldn't" and not "couldn't." Don't miss the blissfully calm Eastshade, as Xbox Game Pass freebie Crackdown 3, grimly hopeful post-apocalyptic mission Metro Exodus and colourful explosion of chaos Far Cry New Dawn attempt to split the action game market between themselves, and Jump Force piggybacks on the popularity of Dragon Ball FighterZ and a host of anime franchises.
