It's very complementary to the stereotypical all-American setting, as a lot of the weapons are recognisable American classics, such as AR15s, M14s, and M60s. There are so many guns! Although I personally prefer Far Cry 6's Cold War Era-inspired firearm selection, Far Cry 5 still has a brilliant variety. It's a similar reason as to why I love Red Dead Redemption 2 so much. It appeals to me-the series' other location options aren't typical tourist material. Plus, it helps that I would actually like to visit America one day. However, having grown up within the dull confines of central England, Far Cry 5 is a breath of fresh air. I appreciate that an American audience would probably scoff at the notion of an action-packed, survival-centric videogame being situated in Montana. It's a wild place with wacky individuals (if the stereotypes are to be believed, and I hope that they are), and being able to experience that, even in a fictional form as exaggerated as this, always pleases me. I'm a little English northerner, and the connotations surrounding America appeal to me greatly. After reading that, you may be wondering why I found Far Cry 5 so enjoyable at first glance, small-town America isn't known for being either exotic or treacherous. From sweltering jungles to arid deserts, the settings are always treacherous, something that reinforces the survival element that the series is known for. The Far Cry series has always chosen exotic locations for its games. ![]() Articles // 27th Mar 2023 - 1 month ago // By Niall Cawley Why You Should Revisit Far Cry 5 On It's Fifth Anniversary
