FAR CRY NEW DAWN

in #gaming5 years ago


Ubisoft already knew that Far Cry V was going to be an additional game when it was released, finally it's their standard since Far Cry 3. There they brought the Blood Dragon, after Far Cry 4 they brought Primal and now it's New Dawn. But now there is one difference, it is no longer a separate game as before. It is a direct continuation.

If you played Far Cry V, you know the game ended with a nuclear war and if you didn't know it, you already know. It was a sudden ending that would endure itself, but if you wanted to know how the character story and the world went on, Far Cry New Dawn would show you. It will take us 17 years after the impact of bombs. By the time people from Hope County come out of the underground shelters and find out that nature has regenerated and flourished without them. The valley is almost unaffected by radioactivity, and although plants and animals have mutated, life continues. Father Joseph knew exactly why he chose this valley in five.

People began to rebuild their world and prosper, expanded, but a biker gang that terrorized the country began their idyll. They decided to settle with you and loot and destroy. They are led by psychopathic twins, Micky and Lou, who are not smearing with anyone. People use slave labor and no one can stand up to them. No one except former soldier Thomas Rusha, who specializes in restoring the United States, travels by train across the states and helps where he can. Now they called him here. It comes to bring order.

You won't play Thomas for the story, but you'll be one of his helpers. You choose a man or a woman and embark on a fight. You are coming by train to Hope County and the arrival is not the happiest (by the way, it is very interesting to start playing the game after you finish Metro Exodus). The twins are waiting for you ...

After the initial acquaintance, you and the daughter of Rye run to the Prosperity Base. Here, the residents resorted to the gang's terror and here you begin your journey to liberate the valley. The gameplay will again, as in Far Cry custom, combine story missions and open sandbox liberation. Specifically, you will liberate all captured buildings and farms, search for secret shelters, and find important characters in the world to help you. They will mostly know the characters from Far Cry V, who have grown older and have changed, but still retain their style. You will also find the remains of Eden's Gate and Joseph himself. The story is a direct sequel to Far Cry V, especially in Joseph's mission, which continues.

So the main story will move between the twins and Joseph as you try to liberate the territories. This time it will not be as easy and free as the game has got RPG elements and you can't just attack anyone and anything. Enemies have one of four levels and weapons are leveled as well. You will have to progress gradually, and the goals will be better to choose from first.

The basis of your improvement is the base. In it, you must improve the individual parts for the raw materials collected, namely alcohol. From the garage, through the shooting range, the garden, the cartographic center. Everything unlocks other things or bonuses after you make improvements. For example, a desk will unlock a higher level weapon, a better car garage. You can then create them, but count on the fact that, for example, you need certain raw materials to produce a weapon, which you must have obtained before.

In addition, the levels also have exempt buildings. For example, when you get a building from the gang's domination for the first time, it has level 1, you get the raw material out of it, but if you are low, you can still plunder it and leave. You get more raw materials, but the gang moves into the building again. However, he already has level 2 defense, and hence will make it harder. However, after gaining control, you get more raw materials and you can still do it again and go to the maximum level of 3. Especially you can earn good alcohol.

There is also a standard skill enhancement where you get skillpoints for the completed challenges and you invest as needed. You can add fast killing, better jumps, better lungs and all these improvements that will save you trouble. This is complemented by special skills that you will gain later in the game. The offer will be rich and nicely fit with RPG elements. I would say that for Far Cry this deepening of the possibilities is a good direction (in the same way as in Assassin's Creed series) and we can expect the authors to improve it in the next game.

The action itself is a standard FPS, with only post-apocalyptic weapons, and so there is, for example, a slingshot, a bow or even a circular saw thrower that duly reflects and kills more enemies. But there are also degraded weapons from the past, improved by various home-made adjustments. In addition, they are painted, as the new owners like to spray with glittering colors. Charges will be enough, but in the fighting it will be appropriate to collect them continuously after the dead enemies. You also get materials with it.

You can choose to do the battle yourself - you can go freely from stealth access with silent destruction of enemies, sniper sniper rifles to direct attack. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to the enemy levels and ideally always head to head. If he has a helmet, it will take. It is ideal to fight your partner, where you have a choice of liberated heroes, each of whom has its own specific weapon, or even animals, this time there is a dog or wild boar. If you don't want to, or you want somebody right, you can call a friend in a game like Far Cry V and play it together.

Basic liberation alone is complemented by treasure hunting missions, where, like in Far Cry 5, you get various puzzle tasks that you need to solve to get into shelters, caves, or inaccessible places where people hide their supplies.

In addition to liberating, expect interesting story missions that offer a variety of gameplay and, for example, get into an enemy camp as a warrior in the arena. Other times, you let them close their jails to get rid of someone and get out of there, or go on a deadly destructive derby. However, the missions with Joseph will be the most valuable story and go their way. It will be over 20 story missions, and together with dozens of minor missions and with sandbox liberation, they will offer 15-25 hour gameplay, depending on how you will be in the environment. It could have been more, it's less than in the original Far Cry V, and the environment could still be used. However, the mission itself in the environment is not everything now, there are expeditions that you can take off and go to wipe out the enemies to other places in America to get more supplies. You are also leveling up these missions, you can still go to a higher level of difficulty while unlocking other sites. It is a nice addition, although the only one that extends the game offer, as this time there is no multiplayer and along with it a map editor.

Visually, Far Cry New Dawn is very impressive. Quality is very decent and well optimized. Although in detail it is not like the Metro, but again it is smooth and nature and vegetation very dense and detailed. Although the world is ruined and overgrown, diversity in the environment is not high. This time the authors have offered a more colorful art style with a spray culture of the future, where ordinary colors are not just available, but sprays solve everything. The main color of the gang, pink, here with the pink flowers in the environment is so idyllic, but the big mutated animals and the trigger at the border of the valley will convince you that not everything is so pleasant. The boundaries are smaller this time than in five, and the valley is more trimmed.

The authors have customized the map itself, changed the vegetation, but also the buildings and buildings where most are destroyed, partially covered or altered, and you can walk around the country and compare it. Finally, the game will also give you photos of the original sites at the beginning so you can compare it. There is also a photo mode.

Game mechanics are already taken from the original game, so driving, jumping with a parachute or glider is missing. It also includes rock climbing, rappelling. The only thing missing is the aircraft, as the airport is no longer there and Nick Rye is no longer working, but later you will be able to build a helicopter. Finally, you can jump on fishing for mutated fish and do not miss the hunting grounds of individual animals. But this time they are not tied to the story, they do not force you to hunt. Only some weapons will need certain skin.

Far Cry New Dawn is a very nice sequel to Far Cry 5. Although the story of twins is just austere, but in conjunction with Father Joseph it is a good combination of two psychologically different sides. On the other hand, it is more interesting to discover a changed world, where it is worthwhile looking for old friends from previous games and changed buildings. Maybe the content itself and the options might have been more, but fans of Fives and Sandbox's Far Cry playing will enjoy it.
