While Far Cry 5 does tackle some serious subject matter, it’s also not afraid to let its hair down and offer a more goofy mission to enjoy along the way. A mission that requires you to gain access to some special ingredients, for the upcoming Testy Festy that local cook Casey Seagal happens to host every year in the county.

Freedom in video games is something that we take for granted, albeit what good is that freedom if it isn’t interesting. You can only admire salt plains for so long, you can only take notice of lush trees so many times. People make a land interesting, people make a nation what it is. That’s an idea that Far Cry 5 is building on for its release next year, as Ubisoft’s premier shooting and survival experience expands massively in a new narrative direction.

The year ahead has plenty of contenders for game of the year lined up. Here’s a look at every confirmed game so far, as well as those titles which are waiting on a date.

I’ve always enjoyed the freedom offered by Far Cry games, especially when you start playing things a little off script with a friend. You can do the whole thing in co-op now.

Looking forward to roaming Montana with a friend in Far Cry 5? You'll still be able to, just don't get too attached to your progress.

Outrage culture is about people becoming polarised and letting their emotions override critical thinking and fact checking. It’s about media abusing genuine pain and issues to increase views and push an agenda. It involves turning a non-issue into a divisive battleground for the sake of a narrative. Outrage culture is making the world more of an arena and less of a place for discussion and real engagement.
