What Far Cry 6 is
Far Cry 6 is an adventure game developed by Ubisoft Toronto and released in 2021. It was published by Ubisoft Entertainment. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Dunia Engine.
The premise, in the publisher's words
As Dani Rojas (playable as a female or male character), you will help stoke the fires of revolution through guerrilla warfare across the island of Yara, from verdant jungles to the urban streets of the capital city, Esperanza. You’ll use a powerful array of weapons and vehicles, and build a network of allies to fight alongside you, including Fangs for Hire like Chorizo, the dangerously distracting wiener dog. As President Castillo prepares his son Diego, played by Anthony Gonzalez (“Coco”), to succeed him, you will do all you can to ensure his plans don’t come to fruition.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action, open world and survival. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative, Multiplayer and Single player. There are 99 achievements to unlock.
Where it sits in the Far Cry series
Far Cry 6 is the 22nd of 29 entries we hold in the Far Cry series. The next entry was Far Cry 6: Season Pass in 2021. Its critic score of 82 is 3 points above the series average of 79. The highest-rated entry is Far Cry 3 at 90.
How it was received
Far Cry 6 holds a critic score of 82 out of 100. That places it above 76% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2021 averaged 74, so it scored 8 points above the year average. Players rate it 75, 7 points lower than critics did — a gap worth knowing about before you buy.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 35.5 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 54 hrs, roughly 1.5 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for AMD Ryzen 3 1200 @ 3. GHz or Intel Core i5-4460 @ 3.1 GHz (AVX, AVX2 and SSE 4.2 support required), 8 GB RAM and AMD RX 460 (4 GB) or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 (4 GB). An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 170GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Far Cry 6 launched on 7 October 2021, within three weeks of Age of Empires IV, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and Death Stranding: Director's Cut. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 1 year into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Age of Empires IV, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, Death Stranding: Director's Cut.
