Far Cry New Dawn
At a budget(ish) price of £35 and arriving in an extremely busy period, New Dawn borrows heavily from FC5. Does it have what it takes to rob you of another 30 precious hours?

Ubisoft loves open worlds more than 50 Cent reckons a fat kid loves cake, and can’t seem to go three months without asking players to dive into another 30-hour story set somewhere expansive.
In Far Cry New Dawn, you play as the silent Commander, joined by a band of ragtag rebels as you try to recapture Far Cry 5‘s Hope County, some 17 years after a nuclear blast wiped the whole place out and, bizarrely, turned it multicoloured. And, gaudy foliage and laughable wildlife aside, there’s a new threat in Hope County: the Highwaymen. Think Mad Max extras doing cosplay as ‘90s WWF legends The Legion Of Doom, and you’ll get the picture.
