4) Far Cry 5 – Metacritic Score: 81
Seeing a slight change from the tropical settings of Far Crys 2, 3, and 4, Far Cry 5 takes you to Hope County, Montana to take on a doomsday cult led by the maniacal Joseph Seed. The terrain may have changed, but you’re still going to hunt, set fire to things, and shoot bad guys as you would have done in the previous games.
The altered progression system, that sees you take on each of Joseph’s crazy siblings by racking up Resistance Points, is one of the main and best changes. The crazy unpredictability of the world makes exploring a joy and, while the story may not run as deep as some may have liked, the characters are up there with Vaas and Pagan Min as the best in the series. The co-op and Arcade options offer a host of reasons to replay and mess around in the game’s world.
