Weapons, vehicles, and ammo all take various amounts of different crafting materials to obtain. Almost everything you use is acquired through crafting. This time around, there is no currency, or rather there is no money. On the flipside…Hurk makes a comeback, screw you Hurk. Regardless, it’s nice to see the returning characters, and how they are doing after the apocalypse while learning what became of the Deputy, the player’s character from FarCry 5. The story itself also feels a bit rushed, though that’s not surprising with the nature of New Dawn being a shorter, cheaper game overall. It’s ending is far better than FarCry 5, if a little bit anticlimactic. However, Joseph Seed and the cult of New Eden return and are central to the plot once again. Some in the story, others as guns for hire, and even more as small cameos and nods. Many characters from five return in some way. Stealth still plays a key role, especially on higher ranked outposts and expeditions. Both Mickey and Lou are pretty standard psychopathic baddies, but they serve the plot well enough. They fail to capture the captivating and interesting nature of past FarCry villains. This time two new villains show up, twin leaders of the highwaymen, Mickey and Lou. The story does an admirable job of cleaning up the mess of FarCry 5’s ending. I’m happy to report that you do not get randomly kidnapped in the middle of gameplay, not even once….yes, I’m still a little bitter about that. But I need to get this out of the way first. New Dawn does attempt a few changes to the formula which I’ll go into in a second.

Like other FarCry games, you will be spending a lot of time crafting items, sneaking around, taking outposts, and getting into chaotic gunfights. This little place in Montana is experiencing a super bloom, which means lots of dense vegetation and pink flowers everywhere. However, Hope county isn’t a wasteland like some other post-apocalyptic titles. Old buildings are buried in rubble, in pieces, or covered in vegetation. Expeditions take you to fancy locales outside of Hope County, Like this theme park. You can make out landmarks if you look close, but it’s a feeling of awe and interest rather than disappointment. The map itself is reused from FarCry 5 but it’s hardly noticeable since so much of the landscape has changed. New Dawn takes place 17 years after the nukes fell and you play in a now Post-apocalyptic Hope County. After completing it, I’m satisfied and disappointed all at once. Yet I was excited to see what New Dawn would do with both its storyline and gameplay. If you read my earlier article you will know that I hated the ending to Farcry 5. In any case, this review is impossible to write without spoiling the events of FarCry 5, you have been warned.

That’s not a criticism though, because New Dawn also doesn’t cost as much as a normal full stand-alone game. Though it honestly feels like a large expansion of five instead of a stand-alone game.
