If you are unfamiliar with Far Cry 6, it is the sixth mainline entry in the Far Cry series, a well-known first-person shooter franchise created by Ubisoft. This particular excursion takes place on the fictional island of Yara, which is ruled by tyrant Antón Castillo and his son Diego, who is carrying on his father’s despotic legacy. As guerilla fighter Dani Rojas, a Yaran from the area whose goal it is to topple Castillo’s harsh government, you are thrust into an exhilarating, action-packed journey.
