Beautiful Games in February 2019
Far Cry New Dawn
Far Cry New Dawn isn’t a great game, but we’d be remiss not to acknowledge just how pretty Hope County looks, even after it was completely nuked to devastation at the end of Far Cry 5.
17 years after that fateful day, Hope County has blossomed once again, and this time Ubisoft has treated us to an extremely colorful and very neon-looking post-apocalyptic wasteland. It’s definitely a good look for the game, even if we do wish the map size was just a little bigger.
You won’t be admiring detailed character models in this game; instead, you’ll stay for the beautiful vistas and pretty views as the sun dips over the horizon in Hope County. The bloom of Hope County blends well with the neon-popping color palette of Far Cry New Dawn, lending it a certain sense of style we haven’t really seen since Blood Dragon.
