Yara is both enormous and absolutely beautiful, featuring some of the most incredible vistas you're likely to find in any video game this year. Luckily though, the open world fun of Far Cry 6 is as good as it ever was. Which is fine when you're out mowing down your 20th soldado outpost in a row armed only with a solid gold grenade launcher and the help of your pet crocodile Guapo, but not all that interesting when it comes to investing in Far Cry 6's story. Dani always has a quip, is never under pressure and always knows exactly what to do. You're now a T-1000 striding through Yara, firing rockets from your nuclear backpack whilst conjuring an almost unlimited arsenal of weaponry out of thin air. You're no longer a Jason Brody, finding your way, learning your skills and simply fighting to live. An unfortunate side effect of that, however, is that where story is concerned, Far Cry 6 has lost a lot of the tension of previous games. As a result, as an open world sandbox, Far Cry 6 is a lot of fun. The developers at Ubisoft want you to feel powerful, they want you to feel like a badass, and so they've leaned into the chaos, the explosions and the epic, wacky battles.

Availability: Out October 7th on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Stadia, PS4 and PS5.
