Far Cry 5 hands-on: Same verbs, different country

The GamesBeat crew is in Los Angeles for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, one of the biggest events on the video game calendar. Between getting stuck in traffic on the 101 and doing a wheat-grass cleanse with the other celebrities, we’ve put our hands on a few video games. One of the first we tried was Ubisoft’s latest entry in the Far Cry series, and now we want to share our thoughts with you.

Far Cry 5 is an open-world adventure that has you fighting a violent religious cult in the foothills of Montana. It is due out in 2018, but the publisher had a playable section prepared for us to demo at a private event outside of the Los Angeles Convention Center. Nearly everyone at GamesBeat got a chance to try it, so we’re going to talk about the game and share our impressions with you.
