A video game review on Farcry 5, by MathiRaj





This 2018 release by Ubisoft and Dunia engine is another first person shooter in the Farcry franchise. This game was released initially in Playstation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft platforms. The game's soundtrack was extremely enjoyable and apt for the atmosphere, it had a mix of drums and acoustic guitar for the majority. For some parts of the music, I felt a bit of Punjabi music mixed with American, was very enjoyable. Before we speak about the gameplay or anything, I am seriously impressed by the poster for this game (the one above) it recreates the last supper picture and looking at this after completing the game, it is bloody brilliant! The graphics and game play was really well done, it appeared almost 100% realistic and very logical. The major differences compared to Farcry 5 and the previous Farcry games was that there was no mini map, no huge icons marking the main missions, instead the game had a different approach of progressing in the game and the player had to track whichever mission they wish to take up, and finally, no more radio towers! You get to choose your character's gender and their costume from a wide variety of options., clothing options I mean. We get to play as Deputy, who travels to Hope County, a fictional county in Montana along with our teammates in order to arrest Joseph seed, or The Father, a cult leader whose cult involves violent devotees, murder, forcible enrollment, torture and whatnot. We and our team approach Joseph Seed's compound where we find the entire Seed family addressing a group of the Cult's devotees called Peggies throught the game. The Seed family contains three people, Jacob Seed, the elder most brother who recruits "warriors" for the cult and controls the region to the north. John Seed, the person who carries out the cult members' "confessions" and controls the south west region. Faith Seed, the "little sister" of the family who brainwashes and manipulates the new members recruited to the cult and controls the south east. With that being said, there are three ways in which you can end the game. An un-thinkable way, the pacifist way and the secret way. I will not tell any further of the story, I'll let you guys go and venture into it. But I just wanna say this with phrase, which was the first thing I realized after completing the game, he was right.

It is a review more than for a movie. In movie the viewers do not have control. You have brought in the feature of the game with 3 choices for the player and left the 3rd choice in suspense, making the readers to get more motivated to play. Description of the music features, visuals and sequencing gives a feeling of first hand seeing of all these and review balances the movie and game angles of the product with a slight closeness to a movie and making it more interesting. The review is a good advertisement and publicity (albeit free) for the producers and if they come to of this review, I am sure they will be happy
