Possibly delayed into 2018 to get away from the relentlessly turbulent state of American politics, Far Cry 5 is still going to hit a little too close to home for some.

Framed as a chunk of Bible belt America being cordoned off by the doomsday cult, Eden's Gate, you need only look at the gargantuan space between left and right ideologies in the west to see how various hyper-leftists would view the majority of the right as the kinds of villains in this game.

In terms of gameplay, it's the Far Cry you know and love - albeit set in a location that wouldn't necessarily serve the sort of animal diversity we've become accustomed to.

Ubisoft insist there'll still be copious amounts of forestation to get lost in, but the biggest question hanging over Far Cry 5's head is just how politicised its script and tonality will feel.
