So, I just beat Far Cry 6 and it was my first Far Cry game, and I think also my first Ubisoft open world game ever. I actually really don't understand why this game doesn't receive more praise, because I had a blast!

THE GOOD STUFF -

• This story deals with the very heavy topics of oppression and revolution. And while I think they did a great job showing the gravity of these topics, they also made sure this game didn't FEEL heavy. They injected it with a lot of fun to lighten it up and keep these topics from weighing down the game experience too much. The game is full of fun weapons, funny and interesting characters, and the pet system.
  
• The gameplay loop is addictive and I loved it. I don't know if this is generally how they handle their other open world games, but there was a HUGE map, tons of points to capture, story quests, character quests, hidden treasures, etc.
  
• An absolute top notch soundtrack
  
• Chicharron is possibly one of my favorite video game characters of all time
  
• The map is massive and SO beautiful! This game is full of incredibly varied environments, depicting a diverse countryside for this imaginary country of Yara. I was constantly stopping to admire my surroundings. The environmental artists outdid themselves with their eye for details.
  
• The villain of this game was played by the inimitable Giancarlo Esposito, who - as expected - put forth a helluva performance. But not to downplay the other actors here, there was so much talent in this cast, every character being brought to life with some fantastic voice acting.
  
• I am a chronic side-quester. I very rarely ever leave side quests undone in any game. But sometimes at the end of a game, I feel like they didn't add as much as they could have. That was not the case with the side quests in Far Cry 6. Especially the ones called "Yaran stories" which added a lot of extra story to what was happening in the game. Some of them were also hilarious, so bonus points for that.
  
• I played through about 75% of the game with my brother and had a great time. I also enjoyed playing solo, but for what it's worth, the co-op was quite fun.

THE NOT SO GOOD STUFF -

• There were bugs - I didn't experience nearly as many as some others said they did. And I didn't experience anything that was game breaking at all. Mostly it was that a few times my character got stuck and I had to fast travel to fix it. Other times it was mostly visual, and frankly ended up being hilarious quite a lot of the time.
  
• A pretty minor nitpick but the star system for the weapons didn't seem to make a lot of sense to me. Most of my end game I used a 2 star bow that was pretty overpowered in my opinion. I'd try to swap it out for some other 4 star weapons but they just didn't feel as good. This was the case in multiple weapon options. It could boil down simply to preference perhaps, but it did feel like the star system didn't do a great job in conveying actual weapon power.
  

TLDR - This was a fantastic open world game, with tons of fun to be had if you like shooting things and exploring a massive, densely decorated map with gorgeous atmosphere and great characters.

FPS DROP PROBLEM

The game is great not gonna lie, i enjoyed this 30 hours. I haven't finished this game yet, but i think I'm going to stop playing here. At first, I thought the game was good. But after a while the game suddenly got a serious frame drop and ruined my gaming experience. I was really looking forward to "Far Cry 6," and waited for 3 years to buy this game but this could not save it in my eyes. I can usually play this game above 60 FPS with medium settings, but after a while it drops to 40-50 FPS everywhere i go in the game. Sometimes, in the menu it drops to 20-30 FPS, IN THE MENU!!! I know it's not a big deal. Doesn't it seem odd when this game's performance suddenly drops? I've played other games without any issues on my system. Could this problem come from the game itself? My advice, if you want to buy and play this game, ensure your computer exceeds the recommended specifications to avoid potential performance issues just like me. Thanks

I guess a chicken empire wasn't enough for him...
