What changes in Far Cry 6, in comparison to the previous titles in the saga, is not the design as such, but the perception of what is being done. The objective is to take control of these territories by completing missions to defeat the boss of that zone and thus close the siege in around the main villain. The map is divided into zones, where each one is controlled by a subordinate of the main villain. Ubisoft has a signature with its open-world games and Far Cry 6 is no exception. Overall, it’s more diverse than the flat, uniform map of previous Far Cry games. The island of Yara has space to accommodate urban environments, rural areas, mountains, and archipelagos.

The mix between mechanics and mission design is more organic, and this has a lot to do with the setting. But to its credit, it disguises the formula in the best way possible, so that the game doesn’t feel like an endless to-do list. With the melody, it becomes a great moment in the game’s campaign.įar Cry 6 is no stranger to the Ubisoft formula present in all of its open-world games. Without music, the mission would be like any other. This changes the rhythm and even adds more instruments as the chaos unleashes.

However, in Far Cry 6, the striking detail is that, while the plantation is burning, a Caribbean and Spanish version of the song Bella Ciao plays in the background. This mission design is a classic in Ubisoft games.
