I enjoyed myself for the vast majority of Far Cry 5. Ubisoft Montreal made an extremely fun sandbox and loaded it with all sorts of wacky tools of destruction.

I was also able to tune out the game’s story almost entirely. Because, as you may have heard, it’s really gross and terrible. Contrary to the exceedingly well-honed dialogue and character arcs of Far Cry 4, this game is just filled to the brim with obnoxious monsters lacking any semblance of charisma or motivation. Whenever the game forced me into comically frequent kidnapping sequences, I knew I was in for a solid 10 minutes of charmless rambling and slow-walked cutscenes.
