Far Cry 5 vs Mafia III
Far Cry 5
Far Cry 5 brings you to Hope County, Montana, where a fanatical doomsday cult known as Eden's Gate has set up shop. Under the leadership of the charismatic and most definitely insane, Joseph Seed, and his enforcer-type siblings, the Heralds, the cult aims to literally hold the people of the county hostage until their perceived doomsday arrives. In this game, you'll need to ignite the embers of resistance into a full-on wildfire in an attempt to liberate the oppressed community from the grips of Joseph and his brainwashed congregation.Featuring an extensive customization system like no other, Far Cry 5 is also home to a wide range of weapons and cool "toys", including muscle cars, ATVs, planes and a whole lot more. You can even recruit mercenaries to aid you in your fight, or you can simply recruit a friend to play the game with you in its two-player co-op.
Far Cry 5 does seem to be following in the footsteps of the older Far Cry games where guns and vehicles dominate most of its gameplay. This is quite different from the latest Far Cry game which was set in the prehistoric times where you play a caveman. The game is not yet available in stores but you can pre-order the game on PS4, XBox, and Steam (PC).
Mafia III
Mafia III is the long-awaited second sequel to the popular mafia-themed action-shooter game, Mafia. Set in the 1968 after the Vietnam War, the game casts you into the role of Lincoln Clay, a Vietnam veteran who had his entire surrogate family, the black mob, wiped out by the Italian Mafia. Vowing revenge for your family, you'll need to build a new mafia from the ground up and bring the fight to the Italian mob. It is either you or them and there is no in-between.Similar to the previous, the game has the same brilliant gun fights, hand-to-hand melee combat as well as heart-pounding car chases with cops and rival mobs alike. You can even choose how you approach a mission the way you like due to the open world nature of the virtual city you'll be roaming around in. Of course, being the leader of a mafia, you will also need to make some hard decisions when deciding who to promote and who to let go as "a necessary casualty". One thing for sure, you'll do whatever it takes to avenge your brothers.
Despite some bugs and glitches, Mafia III is still a great sequel that fans of the series will most certainly enjoy. It still retains its deep gritty feel and the plot, although somewhat cliche (see: Saints Row), is good enough to keep the game going.
