As the newest member of this community you’ll need to explore the land in search of resources that will allow you to level-up the various specialty shops in the village. And then you have the survivors who have created an impressive village of their own inside the walled sanctuary of Prosperity. Joseph Seed and his cult followers have moved north and formed a new, almost Amish-like community that lives off the land while shunning all technology. But they are only one of three factions you’ll encounter in New Dawn. They will appear in a few more cutscenes later in the game and drive the main plot. There is the big opening bit where you meet Mickey and Lou twin sisters that come off overly edgy who run the local chapter of the Highwaymen, a group of notorious Mad Max style bandits that roam the countryside looking for loot.
For these non-numbered installments I’m usually not as concerned with the story, which is good because New Dawn comes in rather light, both in quality and quantity. There is a lot of mindless consumption going on here with a map loaded with quest icons that need clearing, and yes there is usually a story involved. There are even collectible photos you can find from the past that you must match with their post-apocalyptic counterpart.įar Cry games have always been the comfort food of gaming. I can’t begin to count the times I said to myself, “I remember that church/gas station/lodge…” or any of countless other memorable landmarks. Set 17 years after the nuclear finale of the last game, we see a whole new cast of characters as well as a few survivors from the past, but the real nostalgia begins when veterans of Far Cry 5 begin to explore the same map and locations that have been altered significantly by time and radiation. This latest game is marketed as a standalone sequel to Far Cry 5, and while technically anyone including newcomers could jump in and start playing your enjoyment will be twofold if you have already played Far Cry 5. It all started with Blood Dragon followed by Primal and this year we get Far Cry New Dawn. We all know the pattern by now…Every other year Ubisoft releases a proper numbered Far Cry installment and during the off-year we get a scaled back variation of the game to carry us through to the inevitable sequel.
