Far Cry 6 Preview
With its eerily familiar locations, its plot about freeing an island from brutal dictator, and a casually-murderous villain from the TV show Better Call Saul, Ubisoft’s upcoming Far Cry 6 immediately feels like a knowing throwback to the genre-redefining Far Cry 3. The crucial difference between them, however, lies in the point of view. Where FC3 wanted players to feel baffled and intrigued by the strange new world they were exploring, FC6 puts them in the role of a citizen of Yara, the fictional Carribean island on which the game is set.
Staff Picks: Games That Defined The Trump Era
Now that we’ve reached the end of one godawful administration, I’m looking at my role as a game reviewer. More importantly, I’m trying to see things as a minority with a platform.

Wasted Wasteland
HIGH Repeatable outposts.
LOW Forgettable villians in a series known for memorable ones.

Far Cry: New Dawn Preview
Earlier this month, GameCritics was invited to a preview event featuring Far Cry: New Dawn, and the first thing I noticed about it was how colorful it was. Not that its predecessor Far Cry 5 was a bland game — far from it. It’s just that in New Dawn, nature seems to have taken on a more […]

LOW … until I realized it was sort of identical to any other Far Cry title.
WTF Monosyllabic grunts kill the rom-com subplot.

Far Cry 4 Review
Too Large a Portion
HIGH Flying the buzzer low over the foothills, seeing a herd of deer chased by a pack of wolves.
LOW In the middle of a successful stealth approach to a major mission, I clipped through a rock and drowned inside it.
WTF "Scream for me! Scream so I know how you sound in hell!"
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review
Skewed Futuristics
HIGH When "Power Core" plays during intense moments.
LOW Dying because the healing animation takes too long to finish.
WTF Pretty much the entire game, but in a good way.
His name is Buck…
Buck is a peculiar hitman in Far Cry 3. Apparently employed by the game's big bad, Hoyt, Buck has an interest in men, and in ancient Chinese artifacts. As it happens, he presently "owns" one of protagonist Jason Brody's male friends, and will exchange him if Jason retrieves a ceremonial knife originating from the treasure ships of Zheng He. Since Jason needs the knife for another purpose, it is obvious from the beginning of the adventure that he will come away from Buck's tasks with both friend and knife. That's how these games work, and Far Cry 3 is relentlessly conventional in that respect.
