And it is in the midst of this end-of-the-world psychedelic nightmare that the Far Cry New Dawn finds itself, ready to go into action! 3u4gt

A showmetech a digital copy of Far Cry New Dawn to PlayStation 4 and, after a few weeks of intense gameplay, we present you with a complete analysis of this game that brings together the best elements of the franchise in a devastated world that brims with beauty and dangers.

Back to Hope County 6lk27

The history of Far Cry New Dawn takes place seventeen years after the end of Far Cry 5. Actually, New dawn It is the first spin off of the series which is a direct continuation of one of the main games. Because of that, here are our notices of spoilers for those who haven't finished the game yet, so be warned.

At the end of Far Cry 5, who could have suspected that the apocalyptic predictions that the religious fanatic Joseph Seed been doing would come true? The nuclear holocaust happened and the world as we know it ended.

But from the ashes of this terrible global catastrophe, a new society emerges, eager to build a better world but encountering a difficult obstacle in its path: those who wish only to survive by cultivating terror and bloodshed.

Far Cry New Dawn allows you to customize your character, but other than viewing it when using Photo Mode, it won't make much difference. You are the right-hand man of thomas rush, a traveler who es through the United States helping to build settlements in the post-nuclear period.

Even with the nuclear winter gone and the world flourishing with nature slowly recovering the world, make no mistake, Earth is still a hostile place.

Whether because of the animals with genetic modifications or the gang that calls itself the highwaymen, Hope County is far from the “New Eden” that Joseph Seed prophesied.

You'll find some familiar faces from Far Cry 5 em New dawn trying to survive and reestablish the Hope County region. What you really need to worry about is “The Twins”.

These unscrupulous young women determined to conquer what lies ahead are the commanders of the Highwaymen and will stop at nothing until they have control of Prosperity and its resources.

A Ubisoft Brazil even created a video advertising the game in which the artists pepe e Baby imitate The Twins and promote the bizarre world of Far Cry New Dawn.

Despite that, don't expect an innovative plot. The plot of New Dawn is similar to any post-apocalyptic world movie you may already know (apart from a few good references to the Mad Max) and borders on the cliché.

The great highlight for this post-war world that Ubisoft created is not because of the story that involves the characters but because of the environment. Without exaggeration it can be said that, ironically with the theme of the game, it is the most beautiful title in the series. From the ambient sounds to the graphic quality, the world of New Dawn is an explosion of vivid color. A “wild beauty”.

Hope County is no longer your typical American town, but a world where nature flourishes in the most inhospitable places and northern lights shine both day and night. Feel free to use and abuse the game's Photo Mode to enjoy this beautiful and psychedelic setting.

Super jumps and lots of duct tape 6i1q41

The big difference between New Dawn compared to the other entries in the series is not just because of its story, but the new elements of RPG that Ubisoft introduced into the gameplay. Now the player has much more control over his arsenal and his base of operations - the survivors' ranch, Prosperity.

This community will be your home throughout the game's journey, so you need to take good care of it. There are several lodgings that need upgrades such as weapon banks, healing plant farms, training camps, etc. The advantage of taking care of these points and improving them is that you will unlock new equipment to use.

However, nothing is free. To take care of Prosperity you will need Hope County's most valuable resource: Ethanol. You'll obtain fuel in two ways: either by capturing Highwaymen's checkpoints or by hijacking your enemies' tanker trucks. And it is precisely at this point that one of the most interesting mechanics of Far Cry New Dawn.

Anyone familiar with the series knows that Far Cry is known for having enemy bases scattered across the map's territory that you need to conquer and free. Normally, the difficulty of these posts increases gradually according to the region in which the player is. Already in far cry new, the scheme is slightly different.

The Highwaymen-dominated checkpoints are located throughout the map, but you'll have to reconquer them several times. The new mechanic of “gathering resources from checkpoints” works so that the player can free a checkpoint, get its resources and then hand it over to enemies to free them again.

The difference is that each time the player does this process, the difficulty to free the checkpoint increases. However, the rewards in the form of resources are as well.

The interesting thing is that this mechanic manages to reuse the same control point several times, motivating the player to seek new strategies whenever he returns to the place with more powerful enemies.

Also, always keep an eye out for resources scattered around outposts or abandoned houses, because you're going to need them. This is where the RPG element is most present in Far Cry New Dawn, as all weapons and equipment such as medical kits or Molotov cocktails need to be crafted.

And that's not just for the elements in your inventory, but also for the weapons available at build stations. In other words, goodbye gun sellers. The good news is that New Dawn has some pretty quirky weapons, like the Saw Launcher: a modified crossbow that launches metal saws that bounce off enemies!

With this weapon crafting and resource gathering system, Far Cry New Dawn manages to create the perfect post-apocalyptic setting, where the player really needs to hunt for resources to build their equipment and survive.

Believe me, to be able to maintain your inventory with quality gadgets you will need to walk around Hope County and collect a lot of gears and rolls of duct tape.

Without a doubt the most bizarre element of Far Cry New Dawn (besides its look and its story) are the new abilities available to the player. The game still maintains the same mechanics as Far Cry 5, where you have to complete specific challenges to get points and unlock skills.

The novelty is due to the special abilities obtained in the middle of the game's campaign, after meeting Joseph Seed. Among them is the ability to double-jump in mid-air.

The explanation for such a superhuman feat doesn't exist, but this and other abilities will be more useful in your fight for survival and against the Highwaymen than you might think.

Stay tuned for the challenges available in the game's menu to see what you still need to do to get more points and unlock skills. Many of them will come as normal throughout the game, but others include specific tasks and actions and you'll never know when a double jump will save you from certain death.

And if you liked the mechanics of “companions” in Far Cry 5, where you could choose a character with a specific skill to be your partner, it is still present in Far Cry New Dawn, as well as good old-fashioned co-op gameplay.

some characters from Far Cry 5 return to accompany you on your journey through the wastelands of Hope County, but surely the fiercest and friendliest of them is the dog. Timber. The little dog is able to identify targets and other objects of interest in the scenario, in addition to riding with you in any vehicle.

Too much radioactive Far Cry 50e63

Far Cry New Dawn it has positives and negatives that intertwine in such a way as to evaluate the game in the end as an average experience. This is because, first of all, in of story, the game forces the player to have finished Far Cry 5, otherwise he won't be able to understand much of the plot of New Dawn or even have that nostalgic feeling when meeting old familiar characters.

On the other hand, New Dawn offers a more “lean” experience, so to speak. For someone like me who had the opportunity to finish Far Cry 5, the game seemed to me to put too many objectives and elements in a very compact context. In other words, it seems that there are too many things to do for such a short game.

New Dawn, on the other hand, seems to be more aware of its "spin-off" aspect compared to the other games in the series and delivers the right experience, with customization, action and exploration for player none of open-world games to fault. .

Even so, the new mechanics present in New Dawn are not capable of definitively offering a new experience in of Far Cry.

The series' success formula is still there, in its essence, with just a few decorative elements to differentiate it from the other titles. If you are a franchise player and looking for something really different, Far Cry New Dawn will not meet your needs.

Furthermore, Ubisoft seems to be leaving the plot of the series games definitely in the background. While the franchise has had memorable villains like Vase Montenegro em Far Cry 3, New Dawn's villains (as well as its clichéd plot) are completely forgettable once the credits roll.

Okay, we know that players of these types of games are not so interested in the story involving the characters, but if this element is considered so disposable in New Dawn, the question is whether it was really necessary.

A pity, as the setting in a post-apocalyptic world abundant with a new nature and society could have been better explored by the writers.
