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.
