Expanded on all the worst parts of Doom 2016. 5 minutes of gunplay interrupted by 30 minutes of out of place tedious puzzles and platforming. Tedious micromanagement of resources and cooldowns.

Far Cry 5 has good graphics and doesn’t crash, but my praise ends there. It streamlined several features from previous games for better or worse (some abilities don’t require an investment of skill points like they used to, others are just absent). The enemies and encounters range from repetitive to annoying after so little as an hour. Everything you try to do will be interrupted by a number of enemies that seems ridiculously out of place for the sparsely inhabited surroundings the game fails to replicate. This is the first Far Cry game that I couldn’t bring myself to finish.
