These expansions will focus on some of the Far Cry series’ most compelling villains of recent times. Blood Dragon will be worth picking up either as a blast from the past, or as a precursor to its upcoming Netflix series.īlood Dragon isn’t the only classic expansion in Far Cry 6, however, as Far Cry 6’s Villains DLC have garnered attention.
The expansion was warmly received by Far Cry fans and has recently been in the news as a Netflix series based on the title, Captain Laserhawk, will be coming soon. What will be of interest to fans of Far Cry 3 is Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, an expansion set in a retro-futuristic world. And added to that at least twenty additional hours of Far Cry 5 gameplay boosts the action if you’re looking for your game to go a bit longer.Īs Season Passes go, however, it’s one of the weaker offerings for a AAA game.For fans looking to play more Far Cry content beyond the main story, Far Cry 6’s season pass may be of interest. At its RRP, which is the same price of the Season Pass, you have one of the best games of last gen. The problem is, only one out of the three DLCs is even remotely memorable.įar Cry 3 Classic Edition is worth the price of the Season Pass alone, however. There are moments where it’s entertaining and it really does offer something significantly different from the base game with its various settings and self-contained narratives. The DLC could, and should have been so much better. If you’ve never played it before, the Season Pass is worth purchasing it for on its own. The remaster won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but the game still looks, sounds, and plays great. With one of the best written baddies in any game and a gripping story with thrilling set-pieces, Far Cry 3 holds up incredibly well on current-gen formats. A shooter combined with exploration and puzzle-solving all in a rather luxurious, and equal measures intimidating setting. The execution has left a lot to be desired.įar Cry 3 is one of the all-time great Far Cry titles. One day we’ll look back on the Far Cry 5 Season Pass and wonder what might have been. But for every joke that landed, I spent more time grunting and growling about the gameplay. In fact, it might even be the funniest DLC of the three with the witty backtalking, the ludicrous, over the top enemies and sequences that crop up, and the crazy weapon types like the Shovel Gun. This helps scratch that Blood Dragon sequel itch, at least for a little while longer.ĭead Living Zombies is by no means terrible. It’s not Blood Dragon brilliant and it does have its flaws and weakness, but I certainly enjoyed my time in space more than I didn’t. Lost on Mars is a substantial improvement over Hours of Darkness in almost every conceivable way. For a Season Pass that looked set to break the mould of the series to try new things, Hours of Darkness mostly just plays it safe. Ubisoft Shanghai’s efforts are enjoyable enough, but one just hopes that the bar of quality is raised even higher for Dead Living Zombies and Lost on Mars. Hours of Darkness has some highlights – especially the game’s ending sequence which allows you to let off a bit of steam – and the map is a pretty substantial size with lots to see and do, but it all feels a bit bland. The RRP of Far Cry Classic Edition is £24.99.The RRP of Dead Living Zombies is £6.39.It is a faithful recreation of the original game but with improved graphics and sound.

Developed by the team behind the cult-classic Far Cry Blood Dragon, the Far Cry 5 Season Pass is a real departure from the base game but is the DLC up to scratch?
