Far Cry 5<\/em> was and still is a very divisive game. It was the first in the franchise to take place in America and it received a lot of flak for its story, both pre\/post launch. After the anti-climactic ending of Far Cry 5<\/em>, a direct-sequel to Far Cry 5<\/em> was announced at last year’s Game Awards. Set in a future shaped by the end of FC5 your role in the game is that of the Captain of Security or simply put “Captain”. I decided to go 115% and make the character as close to Steve Rogers as possible to the point where I made sure to pickup a shield. Unfortunately, there were no vibranium shields only standard versions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this being a Far Cry<\/em> game, there are characters from previous games that return or… legacy versions of them. You have the next generation of the Seed family, Hurk, the Rye’s, and Grace Armstrong in terms of new and returning characters. The main antagonists are a pair of twins who have practically taken over the location and function similar to Raiders from Fallout. When it comes to gameplay this game is extremely fun however, there’s not much to do outside of the main story. All that aside, it’s an optimistic view on how the world would react in the event of… the ending to Far Cry 5<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Days Gone<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When this was first shown at E3 two-three years ago I was skeptical. Don’t get me wrong, I like Sam Witwer, I like Sony Bend, at the time I thought the zombie genre was a bit played out. Boy was I wrong. I freaking love this game. Other people were a bit harsh and called it a rip-off of The Last of Us<\/em>. This is not even close to being true. Days Gone<\/em> is a mishmash of different systems from different games. Usually a game with this type of situation would be laughed at, but Days Gone<\/em> it pulls it off. The zombies are known as “Freakers” who are nocturnal predators that *can* be out during the day but aren’t as frequent as the night. At night it is a damned freakshow, no pun intended. The way the swarm works is similar to the World War Z<\/em> movie in that in single numbers they aren’t much of a threat. When they are in a mass the odds won’t be in your favor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game mechanics are homages to many games. Your bike is your life as without it you are screwed. This is similar to Mad Max<\/em> in that your car was key to your progression in the game. Another, is the currency system. It borrowed a lot from State of Decay<\/em> in that the more you did for the HQ, the more you were allowed to take from them. The difference between that and Days Gone<\/em> is that there are multiple camps in the game. Each mission you do for a camp grants you more points for said camp. There are random encounters in which you can save someone from an attack and send them to whatever camp you prefer but you make sure they say YOU sent them there in order to get additional points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game certainly isn’t on the same playing field as Last of Us<\/em> or other higher tiered Sony IP’s but it has its own level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
