Opinion by Matt S. I haven’t played Far Cry 6. I won’t play Far Cry 6. In fact, with the exception of Death Stranding, I haven’t touched a big blockbuster for ages now. The last one I reviewed got me pilloried for not liking a game the amount that…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Far Cry New Dawn is Ubisoft’s latest in its long-standing series, and picks up seventeen years after the events of Far Cry 5. In that game Joseph Seed unleashed a nuclear blast, and in this one the survivors have emerged from their shelters. With the land…
