Far Cry 6: 10 Reasons The Haters Are Wrong

FC6 drops you into the middle of a massive open-world sandbox. Once you finish the first island (basically training missions), the whole world opens and you can begin the classic Far Cry mission types that let you turn those hostile red dots into friendly blue ones.

Yara is based on a blend of South and Central American countries and cultures, but it takes its greatest inspiration from Cuba. Accordingly, you can come across beaches, jungles, mountains, and small towns as you crisscross Yara. These are nothing new for the Far Cry series, but their representation here is breathtaking. The world design, lighting, and level of detail are astounding - you are as likely to stop for a few minutes to watch an incredibly realistic sunset over the ocean as you are to storm an enemy camp in this game.

The language and slang used by the Latinx characters in the game is realistic (even if it is a bit over the top at times), and you always feel like you are actually immersed in Yara's culture. This immersion is helped by the soundtrack. When you climb into vehicles or wander into one of the many small towns dotting the map, you will hear Latinx singers and songs that you recognize. In a charming touch, Dani will sometimes sing along with the songs.

Yara potentially provides hundreds of hours for curious gamers who love turning over every rock.
