There are executions, eye gouging, and self harm/mutilation featured in the cinematic scenes that drive the story. The worst violence in the game takes place during the cinematic cut scenes. You can choose to use stealth to eliminate your enemies or you can go in guns and dynamite blazing and take ’em all out that way. Melee, explosives, firearms, vehicles, and even animals can be used to take out your enemies. You are attacking enemies with a large collection of different weapons. This game features extreme violence right from the start. I wouldn’t take seriously any complaints about this game being anti-christian or anti-religion. The cult is very extreme and a caricature of anything it may be trying to actually represent. It is, however, a bit on the anti-religious side, albeit so extreme that it is hard to view it as a serious commentary on religion. The story of Farcry 5 is very interesting and well told. You can go around doing whatever you want, liberating outposts, saving citizens, hunting and fishing, all the while increasing your influence over the region through something called “resistance points.” These points allow you to unlock new areas and items and eventually lead you to your final showdown with the leader of the cult. There is a storyline but it isn’t linear, it unfolds as you explore different areas of the game. You team up with locals, wildlife, and even secret agents to eliminate the influence of “The Father,” a man who considers himself the spiritual leader of an entire group of religious followers.
In Farcry 5 you’re a sheriff deputy who is trying to overthrow a cult in the mountains of Montana. Players try their hand at fighting crime lords, warlords, and drug cartels.
The Farcry series is known to feature regular people type characters who are put in extraordinary situations and forced to fight their way out. Positive Message: 2 out of 5 Total: 7 out of 20 = Adults Only! The Game
