Far Cry 5

Far Cry 5 is a FPS shooter where you play as cop turned resistance fighter when a failed attempt to arrest the cult leader turns into a rescue mission for your squad.

The intro level was amazingly well done, the tension they created while entering the nationalist/terrorist headquarters, and the flight away from them was terrifying.  It provided a great motivation for the game as you rescue the citizens of an overrun town to gain influence over areas and drive away the P.E.G. (Peggy's).

What really blew me away (literally?) was the ending, spoiler alert, John Seed has been monologing about the decline of society the whole game, and once you defeat him, he drifts into another one of his "the world is corrupt" speeches and a nuke goes off behind him.   The next 3 minutes of the game have you driving your group at neckbreaking speeds back to the survival bunker in front of the blast wave while more nukes are blinding you occasionally with explosions.  (Nice touch to have burning animals running from the engulfed forest.)

Fade to black with the bad guy and you alone in the bunker, you chained to the bed.  What a great ending!!!!
