Dutch's Island acts as the tutorial area, Holland Valley is overseen by John Seed, Henbane River is Faith Seed's territory, Whitetail Mountains belongs to Jacob Seed, and the cult compound is where Joseph Seed is based. Only Eden's Gate members will survive and thrive.įar Cry 5’s Hope County is partitioned up into five different sections. They believe “the Collapse” will result in God performing a hard reset on the world. While there may have been fears that Eden's Gate was going to be a Ku Klux Klan type of organization, they're really more comparable to doomsday believers like Jehovah's Witnesses. The cult itself doesn't take any firm stances. But these are singular instances, rather than an overarching theme. There are characters here and there, like Hurk Drubman, that have certain views. That doesn't mean politics never comes up. I'm happy to say I did not feel there were nagging, in-your-face political overtones.

There are a lot of minor complaints I can make about Far Cry 5, but overall, it was an engaging and enjoyable experience. After finishing it, I can tell you with confidence that it is a success. Ahead of launch, there were concerns that the game would be overly political, be filled with microtransactions, and might falter. We've all probably had that moment when we sit down with a highly anticipated game and pray to whatever video game gods are out there, “Please don't suck!” I felt that sensation very strongly when I booted up Far Cry 5. ![]()
