The story, as it were, has you playing as Dani Rojas, a young military dropout who wants to escape the island and make her way to America. If I wanted to be able to freely roam the skies, I first needed to take out the gun that was guarding the airspace. The game had other plans, and it quickly introduced me to the local anti-aircraft gun. Great! I'll make a beeline for the target and avoid enemy forces on the ground. For example, in one mission, I had access to a helicopter. They say familiarity brings contentment, but Far Cry 6 also wants to make sure returning players aren't too content.
Weapons, movement, recon - it's all here, even if it's been tweaked from prior entries in the franchise. If you're playing solo, Far Cry 6 immediately feels at home, with controls that will be second nature to series veterans and easy to pick up for newbies. The invisible tether means you're always playing within close proximity to each other. That quickly got nixed when the game popped up a warning and told us to get closer together. During one mission, I had the bright idea that my co-op partner and I would split-up to cover more ground. One other catch with co-op is the player tether. If you're playing second fiddle, you have to wait for your partner to finish. The downside to co-op is that, at least in the preview build, only the first person to trigger a mission gets to hear the story. It's a good plus if you want to play with friends or if you're having trouble with a certain mission and need backup to assist. Co-op is supported from start to finish, and both players keep their progression.
My time with the game was split between single-player, which covered the introduction and first few missions, as well as co-op. It's apparent that Ubisoft is sticking to a formula that works, but it's also not afraid to experiment a bit with gameplay. Different but the same: That's the feeling that I had after playing five hours of Far Cry 6.
