Common complaints:
- Weak story, uninspired characters/villains (weight 0.92): The story, characters, and villains are considered weak, uninspired, and forgettable compared to previous Far Cry games.  Many reviewers felt the main villain, Anton Castillo, was underutilized and lacked the charisma and depth of antagonists like Vaas, Pagan Min, or Joseph Seed. Some reviewers found the plot nonsensical and the characters unlikeable.
- Lacks innovation; rehashes old formula (weight 0.68): Many reviewers found the game to be a rehash of previous Far Cry titles, lacking innovation and feeling too similar to entries like Far Cry 3, 4, and 5.  They missed the unique flavor and moral complexity of earlier games, finding the formula stale and predictable. Some reviewers explicitly stated that the game is worse than previous entries.
- Repetitive gameplay and tedious tasks (weight 0.56): Reviewers found the game to be repetitive and tedious, with a bloated map filled with uninspired activities and collectibles.  The core gameplay loop becomes monotonous, involving repetitive tasks like clearing outposts, capturing checkpoints, and completing fetch quests. Some reviewers felt the game artificially extends playtime with unnecessary grinding and travel.
- Poor and inconsistent enemy AI (weight 0.51): The game's AI is frequently criticized as being unintelligent, with enemies exhibiting illogical behavior, poor reaction times, and inconsistent detection.  This makes stealth gameplay clunky and combat encounters feel routine and unchallenging. Some reviewers noted that the AI is worse than in previous Far Cry games or other similar titles.
- Numerous bugs and technical issues (weight 0.44): Reviewers reported numerous technical issues, including bugs, glitches, crashes, poor AI, and inconsistent physics. These problems significantly impacted the gameplay experience, leading to frustration and, in some cases, making the game unplayable. Some reviewers compared the buggy state of the game to Cyberpunk 2077.
- Unbalanced and flawed weapon system (weight 0.23): The weapon system is criticized for being unbalanced, with some weapons becoming obsolete and others being too powerful.  The forced ammo types and the need to switch weapons frequently disrupt combat flow.  Some reviewers found the weapon customization nonsensical and the weapon designs uninspired.
- Game is too easy, lacks challenge (weight 0.22): The game is considered too easy by some reviewers, even on the highest difficulty settings.  They also noted that the starting weapons are viable throughout the entire game, making other weapons less relevant.  Some reviewers also felt that the game's challenge diminishes significantly after acquiring certain weapons or abilities.
- Weak and uninspired DLC content (weight 0.17): Reviewers found the DLC content to be weak, repetitive, and uninspired, often feeling like experiments for new game modes that don't resonate with players.  Some DLCs require multiple replays and can be tedious, while others lock content behind paywalls.  The game also suffers from unnecessary bloat and excessive RPG elements.
- Poor vehicle and aircraft controls (weight 0.16): Reviewers criticized the vehicle controls, particularly for helicopters and planes, finding them clunky, difficult to manage, and worse than in previous Far Cry games.  The third-person camera in camps was also seen as unnecessary and awkward. These control issues detracted from the overall gameplay experience.
- Unpopular clothing-based skill system (weight 0.15): The game replaces the traditional skill tree with a clothing-based perk system, which many reviewers disliked. This system requires constant menu navigation to switch gear for specific bonuses, leading to mismatched character outfits and limiting player choice.  Reviewers felt this change simplified character progression and made customization less rewarding.
- Problematic and limited co-op mode (weight 0.12): The co-op mode suffers from several issues, including limited player interaction, inconsistent progress sharing, and bugs.  The second player often feels disconnected from the story and may have to replay content to unlock items.  Some reviewers also experienced server issues and difficulty connecting to co-op sessions.
- Large but empty and lifeless world (weight 0.11): The game world feels large but empty, lacking meaningful content and dynamic elements.  Exploration is often reduced to grinding for resources and unlocking fast travel points, with little reward for discovering new content.  Some reviewers found the terrain bland and the map confusing.
- Subjective dislikes; potential review bombing (weight 0.09): This cluster contains points that show signs of review bombing. Some reviewers expressed negative opinions about the inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters, while others criticized the game for being boring or having unlikeable characters. These points are subjective and lack specific details about gameplay mechanics or features.

Gameplay feedback:
- Gear-based progression replaces skill tree (weight 0.12): The game replaces the traditional skill tree with a gear-based progression system, where clothing items provide specific bonuses and stats. This system allows for build customization but some reviewers found many stats bland. The RPG elements are not very noticeable during gameplay.
- Revolution against dictator in Yara (weight 0.12): The game's story revolves around a revolution against a dictator in a fictional Latin American island nation. Players take on the role of Dani Rojas, a guerrilla fighter who must unite different revolutionary movements to overthrow the regime.
- Limited weapon customization options (weight 0.1): The game features weapon customization, but some reviewers found the choices to be limited and not impactful enough. Some found that a silenced, armor-piercing rifle was sufficient for the entire game. Additionally, the player cannot switch ammo types on the fly and must use a workbench to change them.
- Animal companions are mostly useless (weight 0.06): The game features animal companions that assist in combat, but some reviewers found them to be useless or ineffective. Some reviewers also noted that the animal companions can obstruct the player's movement.
- Enemy levels have minimal impact (weight 0.06): The game features a level system for enemies, but it is less pronounced than in other games. Some reviewers found that enemies become bullet sponges on higher difficulties. Also, some reviewers noted that the level of areas has almost no effect on difficulty because headshots are always effective.
- Stealth and combat mission approaches (weight 0.03): The game offers freedom to choose approach to objectives, with both stealth and guns blazing being viable options. The missions are typical for the series but still engaging.
- Mid RPG and shooter elements (weight 0.03): The game uses both RPG and shooter elements, but not enough of either, resulting in a mid gunplay experience with mid weapon customization and choices. The reviewer acknowledges that there is room for creative gameplay with different equipment combinations if the player desires.
- Open world with military presence (weight 0.03): The game world is filled with military bases, camps, government buildings, outposts, fortresses, naval yards, air bases, and checkpoints. The game's missions challenge player skills, requiring planning for kills and base sabotages.

Performance notes:
- Inconsistent and poor optimization (weight 0.35): Many reviewers describe inconsistent performance, with frame rate drops occurring seemingly at random or in specific areas, even on high-end hardware. Some compare the game unfavorably to Far Cry 5 in terms of optimization, suggesting a regression in performance.

- Frustratingly long loading times (weight 0.02): Several reviewers mention long loading times, including extended delays when launching the game. This can be frustrating for players eager to jump into the game.
- Blurry TAA and outdated FSR (weight 0.02): The game's TAA implementation causes blurriness, and it uses an outdated version of FSR 1.0 for upscaling. This limits the effectiveness of anti-aliasing and upscaling options, potentially impacting visual clarity.
- Co-op connection issues (weight 0.01): Players report server issues that lead to connection problems and disconnections during co-op gameplay. This can disrupt the co-op experience and prevent players from enjoying the game with friends.

Recommendations:
- Buy only on sale (weight 0.86): Many reviewers suggest waiting for a sale before purchasing, citing the full price as too high for the content offered. Some even suggest specific discount percentages (60-80% off) or price points (under $10) that would make the game worthwhile. This sentiment is very consistent.

- Ignore negative reviews (weight 0.02): Some reviewers encourage players to ignore negative reviews and form their own opinions, suggesting that the game is underappreciated and enjoyable.
