Far Cry New Dawn isn't bad by any stretch, and judged on its own it's a pretty good game. However, Far Cry 5 is a better game and New Dawn is too similar to recommend unless you literally just want more of the same, but with less vision.

A refined but unexciting adventure. For those who have exhausted all the previous Far Cry games and are still craving more, New Dawn will scratch that itch... but those hoping that it might advance the core gameplay are going to be disappointed.

If you played and loved Far Cry 5, pick up New Dawn... The visual style breathes a good degree of life into a setting we've seen before, and Expeditions add more variety on top of that.

New Dawn adheres to Far Cry's by-the-numbers open-world formula that's reaching old age. In other words, "It's a good one of those kind of games."
