Part of me thinks playing Far Cry games is self torture at this point.
I didn't enjoy 5 all that much - I quit 4 about 1/3 of the way through it both for the same kinda reason in that I just don't think Ubisoft makes great first person games, it always felt a little bit "off". (Though, I enjoyed Primal a lot.)
With 6, it took me a long break between playing it to actually completing it and when I did return to it, I ended up playing it on PC instead of Xbox for the final parts and when I say the experience completely shifted for me, I mean it. It shouldn't be shocking to say that a first person game played way better with keyboard and mouse, but here I am saying it regardless.
The only downside was that besides the sudden enjoyment I got from switching up control schemes (why can't I play with kb/m on xbox????) is that it's still a large map with locations to go to to "check off" before going to the next one to check off etc etc. none of which have any real consequence on the game, nor do they really progress anything.
The story was fine. Giancarlo Esposito was pretty much the only reason the story was fine as he was selling the sh*t out of Castillo.
Would I play it again? probably not. At least, not in any kinda hurry.
