They're all the same general concept... just different characters. Guy ends up somewhere, reluctantly becomes a hero and saves the area from the bad guys by killing everything that moves.

I enjoyed the first couple games as the mechanics evolved, but after awhile they started feeling kinda stale. (at least in my opinion.)

First was the best. Downhill from there. Just my opinion, really. The follow ups just used the name and not the premise.

Idk, the one with the cult was pretty solid. A bit on the nose, but I can’t imagine them being able to release that plot on a tv show currently

The exception being Blood Dragon, far and away the best one

I stopped after the second one. The only thing I liked about it was the stealth and lighting the grass on fire.

Didn't they even change genres? It's been a long time since I thought about far cry but iirc the first one is a pretty neat linear sci fi shooter and the rest are mundane current world ubisoft map slop?

That’s a bingo!

Sure. But no.

It is an FPS. Here is a setting, here is some gear N shit, now go fight!

It's supposed to be an anthology series so they'll probably do one game a season
