Far Cry 6, is as solid a game there is. Played exclusively on PC for this review. Graphics - Far Cry 6, the newest in the Far Cry series, is absolutely amazing! Graphically, FC6 can really push your hardware to the limits, while still being flexible enough to run at a good clip. Even on it's highest settings, I still got basically 60fps, but I prefer 1440p, which makes it run silky smooth. Gameplay - If you've played FC3 and above, you know exactly what to expect here. Instead of booting up and adding new things to your repertoire, this is more like coming home, after some time away. Depending on what you're looking for, this can be good or bad. A few different weapons and moves, but we pretty much stick to the formula or standard that was set before it. Personally, I have zero problem with that. It made it so easy to install and get right in to it. Sound - With the new area you will be playing in, there's tons of mountains, water, ocean, rivers and so on, not the same as FC5 and it's amazing mountain peaks, but more like tropical mountains and so on. Got some real FC3 vibes. But you can hear every animal, footstep, people talking and so on and hear it crystal clear. The music is good as well. 2 things I really enjoy about the audio. 1 - Whether you play as the male or female, they have a voice now. One that fits the character perfectly. 2 - This one surprised me. While driving, a song came on over the radio and my character began to sing along with it. I know it means nothing for gameplay, but it seemed to immerse me a little more in the world. If you're a fan of the FC series, you will find tons of stuff here to love but, you may find things not changed up enough from the last couple entries. There's not a lot of new mechanics, which I personally have no problem with, but others, who expect a game with a series such as FC, they will be let down by the lack of innovation. Also, having an animal partner, following you around and helping out, is nothing new, FC5 had the same mechanic. But, it's more refined this time around and they seem to be much smarter and a lot more useful. Story - This, to me, is the best FC story since Vaas in Far Cry 3. 3 really being the game that won me over to the series, had an amazing story and Vaas was the biggest reason why. Far Cry 6, to me anyway, out does itself story wise and now has my favorite story of all, knocking 3 down a notch to the number 2 position. It didn't take long for me to lose myself in the world, in the characters, anticipating what may happen just around the corner. As a person who has read more comics and more books than your average Joe, 6 sucked me in, just like a good book you can't put down. I would play longer, even when I should go to bed because I didn't want to sleep, until the part of the story I was currently in, either ended, or switched gears a bit. I wanted to give this a 5 star rating but, I went with a 4 because the lack of real innovation in the gameplay. It was as if, your character from Far Cry 5, moved to tropical islands and forests, to continue with his journey. The settings were different, the graphics even better, but it was most like I had been treated to a really well made DLC, instead of a whole new game. I recommend everyone giving it a shot. Whether you're a FC fan, or fan of FPS games in general. There's lots to love, lots to do and it's all in a beautiful world. The story alone can capture your mind or imagination and encourage you to keep moving, finding out more as you go. Give this one a try, you wont regret it. PapawShane.

To start off, unlike many others, I really enjoyed JL in the first release. Sure it was a little corny, some characters not fleshed out very well and other minor details. - Zack Snyder's Justice League, is like watching a different film all together. The mood is much darker and deeper, it has an atmosphere that draws you in, and doesn't let go. Every moment kept my attention, and had me chomping at the bit for each new scene, and what may be coming next. The atmosphere is almost tangible. - Each character is way more fleshed out, taking time to focus on them, giving what they do, much more weight. The time spent on each hero, made their actions and participation seem equally spread out. No one hero seemed to be more important than the other, and this is an important thing to do, when there are multiple heroes, they had to feel necessary to the story, and it was done very well. You become way more invested in them, so each action, carried immense weight. - Same with the baddies. Steppenwolf had much more back story than before. You are able to realize what exactly was driving him to do the things he did. His was a redemption story, which just like the heroes, causes you to be invested deeply. Using Darkseid as the main baddy, was absolutely genius. We also get a back story that's fairly well fleshed out with him as well. What his purpose was, what he was using Steppenwolf for, what he was searching for. Knowing these things, gives a huge sense of urgency, for both sides. - It's amazing how different this version of the movie is compared to the Whedon version. This is in no way hyperbole. The Snyder cut was epic in every step it took and in every sense of the word. I was so drawn in, that I never really noticed I was watching a 4 hour long movie, and when it was over, I needed more. - I think the Snyder cut is ever bit the epic any other super hero movie is. To me, Avengers really doesn't have anything on this movie. It was huge, the battles epic, the story deep and the atmosphere dark, drawing you in, moment by moment. This movie was huge in everyway. Now, hopefully it does well, and we can get that sequel we have been wanting. If each DC movie can put up this sort of fight, then I think Marvel truly has a strong competitor. - 5 stars all the way. The added scenes, the fleshed out characters, a more coherent story line and more adult oriented action, make this a must see movie of 2021.
