I just finished Far Cry 5 and my feelings are mixed. The gameplay is as good as ever and there are some solid improvements but I felt the game still needed some work to fix bugs and improve the story.
The open world is brilliant and I really enjoyed how the settings and music created a sense of realism and immersion. I also liked how exploration was more organic with NPCs and side missions that were actually interesting.
Unfortunately the main story lets the game down with too many linear sections that don't mesh with the changed exploration. It was super annoying having a great time running around doing side missions only to get taken away to some boring repetitive on the rails section. Even the ending left me a little unsatisfied. It was fun to play but the story did not do a good job setting up the twist.
