Zombies, like ants, get all over the place. Unlike ants, they’re the topic of Far Cry 5: Dead Living Zombies, the shooter’s third and ultimate DLC. It got here out two days in the past however I wager YOU didn’t know that, and I wager the promise of seven self-contained motion film scenes from varied apocalyptic situations sounds alluring. Maybe. I won’t wager a lot.
Ubisoft have additionally chucked in a New Game+ mode for the principle game, which helps you to begin over with all of the toys and perks you’ve unlocked – on a brand new punishing issue stage, in case you fancy it.
I do suppose there’s some promise within the DLC’s setup, although it stays to be seen whether or not that’s been squandered. I’m extra taken with sneaking by hordes than mowing them down, however the Steam critiques thus far counsel that entering into gun-ho is your solely choice.
Perhaps the DLC’s greatest boon shall be to the Arcade, the place gamers can sew collectively their very own maps. You solely want to purchase the principle game to run about on these, and I can think about zombies being put to extra inventive use there than they appear to have been right here. I need a map that’s riddled with each the undead and the residing, the place I can lurk within the shadows and set them on one another. I wish to pit zombies in opposition to bears, and I reckon I’m not the one one.
I used to be extra enamoured with the stealthy focus of Hours Of Darkness, Far Cry 5’s first DLC – however not sufficient to write down about it. John rather disliked the second DLC, Lost On Mars, seemingly one other instance of an intriguing premise with a whiffed execution.
The most important game’s new New Game+ mode doesn’t do something fancy, although arguably it doesn’t have to. It enables you to pump extra perk factors into stuff like enhancing your ammo restrict or shortening cooldowns, which could do one thing to keep up that phantasm of significant development.
Far Cry 5: Dead Living Zombies is out there on Steam and Uplay for £7/$8/$8. You might as a substitute choose up the season pass, which may also internet you the subpar Lost On Mars and the parpar Hours Of Darkness.
