Turn off the lights, light an incense stick and to play this game.
Feels like I'm back in Nepal.

The game itself is great. It's much improved from 4 and adds a lot of really great QoL improvements. Pagan Min is a fun villain and the sidequests are enjoyable/funny as expected from the franchise.

However, playing it on PC is a tragedy of annoyance. Buying it on Steam still forces you to download Ubisoft's native launcher which is so annoying. Not to mention Ubiconnect or whatever it's called doesn't really work. The game mechanics glitch a lot, they're not very fluid. It's an absolute hurdle to try and play multiplayer even with both players online through UPlay and everything. Which just makes the whole experience a headache. In hindsight, I probably would have preferred to play this one on console. My negative review is purely because the PC port is just bad and Ubisoft is irritating for making you use its launcher.

Have you played a Far Cry game and enjoyed it? Well then you'll like this one too!
