FIRST LOOK FAR CRY: NEW DAWN
PS4, Xbox One, PC
[Words Matt Cabral]
Far Cry 5 concluded with a literal bang, as the cult-controlled town of Hope County was consumed by a massive mushroom cloud. Fast forward 17 years and spin-off Far Cry: New Dawn finds a small group of survivors trying to rebuild the rural community.
While Joseph Seed’s fanatical followers are no longer a threat, World War III’s harsh aftermath brings its own challenges and obstacles. For starters, weapons are scarce in New Dawn’s post-apocalyptic world, forcing players to scavenge for resources and craft their own gear. On the plus side, this means a focus on fun homemade weapons such as the saw blade launcher.
