To check out our thoughts on the newest adventure, check out a small blurb from our full review below:

In essence, Far Cry 5 is a lot of fun to play, alone or with a friend; it looks and sounds absolutely fantastic, right down to the proper song selections; and it gives you tons of stuff to do. I'm still discovering activities after several hours in, and trying to catch the biggest fish in Montana. (He's out there, laughing at me.)

While the idea of battling a cult may not sound like the best video game idea, Far Cry 5 wraps it into an experience that's easily the best in the series to date. And that's including Blood Dragonand its amazing laser dinosaurs. I mean, how do you beat laser dinosaurs? With an on-fire bear named Cheezburger, obviously.

So should you get it? As John Seed would say, "yes."
