The last Far Cry game I played was 3 way back on the Xbox 360.
Is Far Cry 5 worth a playthrough? I'm not really the type to 100% games, so I would only do the main story and maybe some of the side stuff if I found it engaging.
Play 4 instead. The main story in this one is just awful and the progression system worse than before.

I find the setting of 4 really boring. I watched some videos of it when it came out and it didn't interest me at all.
My plan was to pick up a used copy for somewhere between $15-20.absolutely. especially the price it goes for now (though i assume it still goes for $60 USD if you're too lazy to dig for a deal)
i have my qualms with it as a hardcore FC fan but still a solid 8/10 game. then move on to New Dawn if you've had fun enough
Gonna scope in here to say the settings sadly don't impact the level design as much as you'd hope. 4 is the better game, regrettably.
This, I'm currently playing through it, and I agree with this 100%.5 is the best.
The game is designed in a way where you do what you want and still progress. No more will you feel forced to progress the story when you just want to explore and do side mission.
The combat is the best it has ever been and it feels really tight. The guns have bullet drop mechanics (kind of like a more arcade Battlefield) so the enemies feel less "terminatory".
Speaking of side missions, they are way less repetitive now and they are more indepth. The way you find them is that you just explore and find them by seeing someone who tells you about them or by stumbling upon them. There are also no more towers and you are not forced to hunt to upgrade your abilities. You get skill points that you use to get what you want easily. Map is very varied and very detailed so it is nice to explore. If you like lore there is plenty of that and the music is really awesome.
Best part about the game is that side missions will give you rewards like guns, outfits and cool vehicles so they feel really rewarding to do. Speaking of vehicles, you have way more unique ones in this game like weaponized semi truck or even planes and helicopters.
The game reminds me a bit of RDR with it's neo western vibes and the exploration.
Only issue the game has is the kidnapping mechanic where the game kidnapps you and puts you in a main story mission when you fill the heat meter up. The story is also a bit divisive.

The open word is better in 5. 3 and 4 are clearly held back by 360/PS3 level hardware (everything feels too sectioned off). 5 has waaaay more open space/sight lines and is absolutely beautiful.My plan was to pick up a used copy for somewhere between $15-20.
It's not that I disliked the level design of 4, I just find the setting way less visually appealing than 5's.
5 is the best.
