I’ve found Far Cry’s more experimental jaunts -the 80s neon sci-fi of Blood Dragon or the prehistoric Primal- more intriguing than its decent but increasingly bloated mainline entries. Newbies, meanwhile, will find a rather curious clash of style. If you don’t move along, nothing to see here.
Safe to say if you like Far Cry, Ubisoft’s sprawling open-world FPS, then this leaner, more colourful visit to the end of the world will tick all the boxes. It’s the kind of goofy, b-movie aside that form many of New Dawn’s highlights, an often rickety Far Cry spin-off that doesn’t always hold together or do enough to justify its own existence. Disco tunes punctuated with gunfire and explosions filled the night sky, while my companion Sharky and his babe-in-arms set off pressure traps while making references to Schwarzenegger’s Commando. Several hours into Far Cry: New Dawn, I found myself manning a turret to protect a sulphur mine as streams of the game’s baddies, the Highwaymen, came streaming down post-apocalyptic Montana hills.
