One of the most anticipated video games of 2018
Far Cry 5, which just arrived in 2018 and is set in the USA, offers you one of the most powerful stories of the famous saga with much more action and adventure.
The latest edition of the French Ubisoft video game, Far Cry 5 2018, available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, has generated a lot of excitement among players worldwide since it arrived on March 27.
Far Cry 5 offers the player an open world full of possibilities with an artificial intelligence (AI) even more interactive than in previous editions and with almost endless exploration possibilities, according to its creators.
One week after its release, Far Cry 5 had accumulated more than 5 million copies delivered, doubling the figures of the previous edition Far Cry 4 and becoming the best-selling title in the company's history.
Far Cry 5 made the French company earn 310 million euros in just the first week of sales in 2018. Other figures, such as the more than 55,000 hours of Far Cry 5 videos on Twitch and YouTube that got 117 million views in their first week of sale, also set a record for Ubisoft.
"Welcome to Hope County, Montana, home of the fanatical End Times cult known as the Project Eden's Gate, which is threatening the community's freedom...".
This is how Far Cry 5 begins, the new installment of one of the most iconic action-adventure saga games that will test your wit and creativity to face the cult leader Joseph Seed, and his Heralds.
You will have to fight: free the endangered community, take the lead of the insurgency that was being forged in the shadows, and restore calm to Hope County.
Far Cry 5: face the cult alone or as a team
You can choose to face and defeat the cult leader and his bloodthirsty followers alone - in single-player mode - or as a team (in two-player cooperative mode).
This mode will allow you to invite a friend to fight by your side, although during the campaign that will take you to the county you can also make allies who will become your hired guns. They can even get animals for hire.

The story behind Far Cry 5 takes us to the deepest America, where fears of the final judgment predicted by the cultists of the Project Eden's Gate coexist with weapons and violence.
In fact, the creators of Far Cry 5 warn: “if you hit them, the enemy will try to hit you back.” Ubisoft's Artificial Intelligence system changes the enemies' strategy against you, so the cult will strengthen its offensive when “you stop being a nuisance and become a threat.”
How to fight the enemy in Far Cry 5?
It will be up to you to lead the rebellion against the doomsday cult, including Father Joseph Seed and his three children. His daughter Faith Seed, known as The Siren, is Joseph's spokesperson and acts, according to the creators, as a “divine instrument of chaos,” keeping the congregation in a state of ecstasy.
John Seed is a violent man who uses intimidation, faith, and violence to seize vital resources and thus facilitate the cult's survival. Meanwhile, the eldest brother, Jacob, is a former military sniper and cult recruiter whose main goal is to protect the Project of the Eden's Gate.
To face them, you must take command of the resistance, a group with many members whom you can call for help during your campaign, and who will provide you with helicopters or small planes, act as your hired shooters, or be your “companion” animals, like the puma Peaches.
Another type of help will come from the entire arsenal of weapons made available by the creators of this new installment: from pistols, through machine guns and grenades, to compound bows.
To explore the vast Hope County, Far Cry 5 will provide you with a variety of vehicles for all tastes, such as the coupe to travel the dusty
American roads, tractors, seaplanes, pickups, or buggies.
As a final touch, Far Cry 5 also includes the “Far Cry Arcade” option, a map editor to expand the game to “infinite” possibilities.
This feature allows you to create and share maps and scenarios, even with other Ubisoft games like Far Cry 4, Far Cry Primal, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag,
Assassin's Creed Unity and Watch Dogs.
The game has already revealed the first three clues to fully exploit the possibilities of the resistance… Now all that's left is to start your own adventure, build your insurgency against the powerful cult, and reclaim Hope County in Montana!
