Far Cry 5: 10 Things We Can't Wait To Do

10. Explore The American Wilderness

Hope County looks gorgeous, offering everything from forests, farms, lakes and small towns.

There are also fortified compounds filled with Eden's Gate cultists ripe for the taking. Although Ubisoft maps are legendarily messy and icon-filled, there is some hope this game will be less stuffed with waypoints and markers.

Not least because Ubisoft have confirmed there'll be no mini-map and no towers that generate points of interest for you to slavishly tick off.

But that's not all. Hunting has always been a large part of the Far Cry experience. Far Cry 2 offered zebras, buffalo and gazelles on the African plains but there was no reward for running them down. Since FC3, the series has featured larger ecosystems that allowed for great dynamics in combat, and players were rewarded with better gear as they hunted and skinned various beasts.

FC5 should offer more of the same as you win back Hope County, one animal pelt-crafted ammo pouch at a time.
