FAR CRY 5 GENRE: ACT-ADV PLATFORM: PS4 | XBO RELEASE: 27/03/18 MULTIPLAYER: YES

Ubisoft are back and hoping to follow up the overwhelming success of the series' last game with Far Cry 5 . The fictional region of Hope County, Montana, has been overrun by a less than friendly fundamentalist cult, and it's up to you and your gang of rebels to bring an end to the plans of Father Joseph. You can expect to run around in a huge open world, with heaps of ways to take on your missions, a plethora of different types of weapons and vehicles, and a bunch of new faces to meet along the way. You can even take it on co-op. Get in.

Your canine companion will occasionally bring you dropped weapons in Far Cry 5 !
