What players say

Uma bosta, todo colorido, com umas missões ridículas. "alinhe o amuleto" ah alinhar a cabeça do meu pau no rabo da mãe de quem inventou uma missão ridícula dessas. Único jogo da série que não consigo zerar...acho insuportávelmente chato...flopei duas vezes. cenário dos teletubbies, missões ridículas, NPCs que conseguem ser mais chatos que do far cry 6.

Completed it back in 2023, installed again in 2026 just so I could get the Steam achievements and I'm going to use this "GOLDEN" opportunity just to say that I would rather pick hair out of my а**hоlе using a rusty screwdriver than play this bulls**t ever again.

There are a myriad of issues and details that have led to this game's mixed review such as how in FC5 and here everyone is the same height... that's just stupid and a pet peeve of mine that really hurts the immersion. We had this figured out back in the morrowind days. But I enjoyed the map and the expedition mechanic has lot of cool maps to visit and explore. Yes the dialogue is annoying and the story is overall...
