In rural Montana’s Hope County, you play a rookie deputy caught up in an effort to stop Joseph Seed and the doomsday cult Eden’s Gate from controlling the region.
Explore forests, farms, towns, and waterways on foot or by vehicle, plane, and helicopter. Take on cult forces with guns, stealth, and takedowns, or pause to hunt and fish.
Recruit human and animal companions with different support roles, or play the campaign in two-player co-op. Activities across three regions build resistance, eventually opening the way to confront each region’s leader.
Players who praise Far Cry 5 often point to Hope County’s scenery and atmosphere, the freedom to approach fights in different ways, and the unpredictable open-world action. Companions, co-op, and the soundtrack are recurring highlights, while opinions on the story vary. Many reviews also describe Ubisoft Connect problems that prevented or complicated access to the game.
