Far Cry 5 is the eleventh installment and the fifth main title in the Far Cry series. Again, it is twisted as hell and raised the bar far too high for most of us.
A preacher named Joseph Seed believes that he has been chosen to protect the people of Hope County from an “inevitable collapse” and establishes Eden’s Gate. Yet, Eden’s Gate is a militaristic doomsday cult and Seed is a crazy bastard. As sheriff’s deputy, we are to shake Seed out of this madness.
