Revisit Far Cry 5 On It's Fifth Anniversary
GameOn Magazine|Issue 163 - May 2023
The Far Cry series has always chosen exotic locations for its games. From sweltering jungles to arid deserts, the settings are always treacherous, something that reinforces the survival element that the series is known for.

Revisit Far Cry 5 On It's Fifth Anniversary

After reading that, you may be wondering why I found Far Cry 5 so enjoyable; at first glance, small-town America isn't known for being either exotic or treacherous.

Well, firstly, to me, it is exotic. I'm a little English northerner, and the connotations surrounding America appeal to me greatly. It's a wild place with wacky individuals (if the stereotypes are to be believed, and I hope that they are), and being able to experience that, even in a fictional form as exaggerated as this, always pleases me. I appreciate that an American audience would probably scoff at the notion of an action-packed, survival-centric videogame being situated in Montana. However, having grown up within the dull confines of central England, Far Cry 5 is a breath of fresh air. Plus, it helps that I would actually like to visit America one day. It appeals to me-the series' other location options aren't typical tourist material. It's a similar reason as to why I love Red Dead Redemption 2 so much.
