Far Cry New Dawn Review: See what the critics are saying about the game

Far Cry New Dawn picks up right after the events of Far Cry 5's controversial ending and serves as a direct sequel as well as a standalone Far Cry adventure which is priced at $39.99.

Now the game's review embargo just got lifted and the scores have started pouring in.

Far Cry New Dawn release tomorrow and is Ubisoft's first take on making the game a post-apocalyptic adventure.

Wondering how good it is? The game currently has a Metacritic score of 73/100 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

That being said, let's just get into some of the major critics all across the globe are saying about the game.

IGN

Score-7.5/10

Ubisoft could've done more to refresh Hope County for Far Cry: New Dawn, but there's still some good, chaotic fun to be had here

#2 Gamespot

Score-6/10.

There's a lot of potential in the ideas seeded in New Dawn, but there isn't enough room for many of them to breathe and feel fully realized. Not the post-apocalyptic theme, not the RPG mechanics, not the weapons, vehicles, plot, or characters. Advancing through the adventure is an enjoyable experience, especially once you get your superhuman powers, but this is largely because Far Cry 5's combat and progression models remain compelling enough to propel you forward. For its part, New Dawn is a palatable but unremarkable spin-off that feels like it could have achieved so much more.

Game Informer

Score-7/10.

The core formula of this series holds up, but New Dawn struggles to make worthwhile contributions to it. Beyond the expedition missions, little about New Dawn actually feels new, and the only interesting narrative threads are the tie-ins to Far Cry 5. When all the best parts of a new game are the old parts, it’s hard to be excited about what comes next.

Destructoid

Score-8/10.

Impressive effort with a few noticeable problems holding it back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.

The Verge

New Dawn is an overly familiar experience that, while a lot of fun, gets away from the best part of its predecessor without adding enough that really feels new. Even when the world ends, Far Cry stays the same.

Far Cry New Dawn

Conclusion

Overall it feels like that Far Cry New Dawn Gameplay department shines as usual just like other Ubisoft titles but when it comes to its open world and characters, the game falls short in providing a unique and interesting environment as well characters while relaying a little way too much on familiar tones.
