Far Cry 6 hands-on — Don’t cry for me, Yara island

With the world the way it is, it may be a long time before I get to visit an actual Caribbean island. At least Far Cry 6 is here to give us a stunning virtual world to explore, even if it is a tad overrun with fascists.

Far Cry 6 launches on October 7 for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Stadia. I played this game for several hours earlier in the month via a hands-on preview done through Parsec, software that uses cloud streaming technology to let you access other computers (in this case, a Ubisoft PC that was running Far Cry 6). Now, this did mean that my experience had some input lag and compromised image quality, but I was able to get a reasonable first impression of the game.
