What is Far Cry® 5?

An open-world first-person shooter set in rural Montana, where you fight to free Hope County from Joseph Seed's doomsday cult. Travel by land, air, or water, fight with guns or stealth, and recruit human and animal allies; the full campaign supports solo play or two-player co-op.

  • +you like switching between stealth and loud firefights
  • +you want a two-player cooperative campaign

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer linear shooters with tightly guided missions

What players say

81% of 188,965 reviews are positive · 82% of 964 in the last 30 days

Players commonly praise Hope County's atmosphere, gunplay, soundtrack, and varied approaches to objectives. The main complaint is Ubisoft Connect: players report login, account-linking, synchronization, server, and launch problems that can prevent access to the game or co-op.
