![]() ![]() ![]() The average gamer will find that as they enter the late-stage content of New Dawn, they'll likely have more than enough supplies to have a full arsenal of maximum-tier weapons and vehicles. Players are given the option of bypassing the crafting system and purchasing weapons and vehicles via microtransactions, but the game isn't actively forcing this path. Ubisoft fans may recoil at the word microtransaction, but they do exist in New Dawn - though there's no Odyssey-level of grinding if players wish to avoid purchases. This encourages players to explore the world and gather the supplies necessary to level up these weapons, a process which is thankfully relatively grind-free. Higher ranking enemies are better-equipped and can take on much more damage, so players will need to upgrade their own arsenal to level the playing field. Ubisoft has evolved the traditional Far Cry formula with what it calls a 'light RPG approach', which means enemies, outposts, and weapons all now have tiered ranking systems. The result is that New Dawn is constantly putting players in a position to be doing something exciting, which makes the game hard to put down. ![]() Tasks like skinning animals is done with a single button click, a fast travel system cuts out most to-and-fro travel elements, and actions like repeating outpost raids can be triggered straight from the worldmap. Each element of gameplay puts players firmly into the action, with previous series elements that slowed down this process having been cut out entirely. Much like in Far Cry 5, Ubisoft has kept the open-world gameplay fast and fluid in New Dawn. This setting provides an enjoyable backdrop as players jump in to explore a world filled with random enemy encounters, treasure puzzles, and epic beasts. This isn't a world filled with inhabitants who gave up after the bombs dropped, but rather reclaimed everything in their own, new-world style. Here, players will find brightly-painted graffiti all around Hope County with DIY structures, vehicles, and weapons aplenty. It's fitting that one of the first in-game songs players will hear is from Die Antwoord, because the aesthetic of the band would blend right in with the colorful post-apocalyptic world of New Dawn. In Far Cry New Dawn, the gameplay is fast, fluid, and a natural evolution to the tried-and-true Far Cry formula. The new world is full of color, rusting relics of the past, and well-armed residents with an appetite for combat. Instead of a bleak, brown-and-gray post-apocalyptic scenario, Ubisoft has focused on life once nuclear winter has given way to a superbloom. Far Cry New Dawn is a standalone sequel to Far Cry 5 set 17 years after the bombs drop over Hope County. ![]()
