The core element of Far Cry New Dawn is that it’s a first-person shooter in an open world environment. However, if you’re expecting a fresh gaming experience, you will be disappointed. After all, reusing assets from Far Cry 5 would speed up this game’s development. If you were invested in Far Cry 5’s storyline and would like to know the fates of certain characters as well as what happened after the nuclear incident, then you’d have no complaints whatsoever. Whether that’s a good thing or not depends solely on gamers’ individual tastes. In this sense, it doesn’t quite feel like a brand new game but rather, slapping on a new narrative on top of Far Cry 5. You’ll be spending most of the time rebuilding Prosperity, going through repetitive missions, and progressing through the story whenever possible. Not only does it make combat easier, it also makes travelling the vast open world environment more entertaining.įor most parts, Far Cry New Dawn doesn’t really have much differences with Far Cry 5 save for some explorable areas and expedition missions which take you to missions outside of Hope County. Eventually, you will also be able to recruit people who will actively join you in combat. However, this service will come at the cost of resources. For example, Bean will provide valuable scouting intel via his service known as “Wikibeania”. The individuals that will be recruited usually have specific purposes. Usually, you’ll be given some arbitrary tasks such as collecting a specific item or chasing down specific individuals in order for these people to join you. Of course, it wouldn’t be a game if the people would join you so easily. What you will need to do is to convince some key people in the world map to join your settlement and also gather a variety of resources. For most parts from the start of the game, you will be rebuilding the settlement of Prosperity. You will have a ton of quests to go through which will consist of the main storyline quests and a large number of optional side quests.

Just like the most recent entry in the series, Far Cry New Dawn is still an open world first-person shooter. However, the people of New Eden may end up being a much greater threat that the Highwaymen themselves, especially with a familiar face seemingly lurking in the shadows.

With no other choice left, the alliance between the survivors and New Eden, which consisted of the remnants of the Project at Eden’s Gate, were formed.

Desperate for help, Carmina Rye appeals to another survivor group led by Thomas Rush and a man known only as the “Captain”. The Hope County survivors found the settlement of Prosperity, but are soon attacked by the Highwaymen, a roving band of organized bandits led by twin sisters Mickey and Lou. The survivors that had taken shelter underground begin to emerge and rebuild society.
