Best Games to Check Out in February 2019
Far Cry: New Dawn (Release Date: Feb. 15)
Set after the apocalyptic events of Far Cry 5, Far Cry: New Dawn is set to take the series in a strange but promising new direction.
In the aftermath of the nuclear bomb detonations at the end of the last game, survivors have done their best to endure their new life in a post-apocalyptic United States.
Enclaves of safety and civilization have been formed, but so too have raider gangs eager to tear them apart for their resources. As a result, the only thing that stands between the wasteland’s citizens and destruction might be your timely intervention.
Though it sounds a bit bleak on paper, the premise is injected with the usual insanity and personality fans have come to expect of the Far Cry series.
Instead of a bleak and dreary wasteland full of monsters and maniacs, the world is awash with splashes of color from its plants, wildlife and colorfully-dressed raiders.
Likewise, the leaders of the raiders are two ambitious sisters out to make the wasteland theirs by any means necessary, and drip with the psychopathic charisma that any Far Cry antagonist needs to have.
It’s still anyone’s guess how the final product will pan out, but with so much promising material shown of it so far, there’s sure to be something of interest for fans new and old alike.
