Far Cry New Dawn

Far Cry New Dawn continues the storyline from Far Cry 5 forward.  It's 17 years in the future, people have been surviving in bunkers for a while as the world recovered from nuclear fallout - and communities are banded together but being overrun by a new gang.

Gameplay is somewhat changed, as you are crafting most of your weapons so there is an upgrade process they can go through, so there is an additional resource gathering component to the grind.

The story is as formula as you would expect, this is a situation we've been in with lots of prior games - you advance your settlement, they come and hamper you until some major event (character killed or base overrun) and you end up having to kill your adversaries.  Sure enough....

The thing that I did find myself enjoying more than other games was the dialog, each of the characters was once again full of precious little exchanges - probably more than in 5 because they only allowed one companion, so all of the dialog was directed at you.   My favorite line -- "You think you're so smart that when I catch you, I'm going to sew your butt cheeks together so you KNOW you're just full of shit!"
