Why Far Cry New Dawn Is the Worst of the Franchise

Far Cry New Dawn was the 2019 entry in the long-running Far Cry franchise, developed by Ubisoft. The game was a direct sequel to Far Cry 5 and took place 17 years after the events of that game. While the game promised a fresh take on the series with a post-apocalyptic setting and new gameplay mechanics, it ultimately failed to live up to expectations. In this article, we will discuss why Far Cry New Dawn is the worst installment in the franchise.

Lack of Innovation

One of the main reasons why Far Cry New Dawn fails to impress is its lack of innovation. The game does very little to differentiate itself from its predecessors. It reuses the same formula that the franchise has been using for years – open-world exploration, completing missions, and liberating outposts. While there are a few new gameplay mechanics, such as the ability to upgrade your home base and the introduction of light RPG elements, they are not enough to make the game feel fresh or exciting.

The characters and story in Far Cry New Dawn are other areas where the game falls short. While the game tries to build upon the events of Far Cry 5, the narrative ultimately feels underdeveloped and rushed. The story lacks a clear direction, and the villains are forgettable and uninteresting. The game also introduces a new cast of characters, but they, too, are poorly developed, making it hard to care about their motivations or actions.

Uninspired World Design & Repetitive Gameplay

Another issue with Far Cry New Dawn is its uninspired world design. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic version of Hope County, Montana, but the world feels empty and lifeless. The game reuses many of the same assets from Far Cry 5, making the world feel like a recycled version of the previous game. The game’s color palette is also monotonous, with the world dominated by shades of pink and purple. This design choice might have been interesting at first, but it quickly becomes tiresome and feels out of place in a post-apocalyptic setting.

Far Cry New Dawn’s gameplay is repetitive and lacks innovation. While the game does introduce some new weapons and vehicles, they do not add much to the gameplay experience. The game’s missions are uninspired and feel like busywork, with players being tasked with liberating outposts, rescuing hostages, and completing fetch quests. The missions lack creativity, and players will quickly find themselves repeating the same tasks over and over again. The game’s crafting system, which is a core mechanic of the game, is also poorly implemented. Players are required to gather resources to upgrade their weapons and vehicles, but the system feels like a chore rather than an enjoyable part of the gameplay experience. It is a tedious and time-consuming process that feels like it was added to pad out the game’s length rather than enhance the gameplay.

Lack of Replayability

Far Cry games are known for their replayability, with players being able to tackle the game in different ways and experience different outcomes based on their choices. However, Far Cry New Dawn’s lack of replayability is a significant flaw. The game’s story is linear, and players do not have much control over the outcome. The game’s ending is also disappointing, as it feels like a rushed conclusion to an unremarkable story. The game’s lack of replayability is further compounded by the lack of content. The game is short, and once players have completed the main story, there is not much left to do. The game’s side missions are repetitive and do not offer much in the way of rewards or unique experiences.

Far Cry New Dawn is a disappointing addition to the franchise. The game lacks originality, with a generic post-apocalyptic world and uninspired missions. The game’s villains are not well-developed, and the story feels rushed and unremarkable. The game’s gameplay is repetitive and lacks innovation, with a tedious crafting system and missions that feel like busywork. The lack of replayability is also a significant flaw, as the game’s story is linear, and the game is short on content. While Far Cry New Dawn may have been marketed as a new adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world, it fails to deliver on its promises and falls short in several areas. Fans of the franchise will be disappointed with this lackluster addition to the series.
