One of them is Chorizo, an adorable dachshund in a canine wheelchair, so don’t be too quick to decide to go it alone: the cute factor is almost overwhelming! You can make your own weapons if you need to, and hire (canine) companions to help you in your deeds. You are a rebel, a resistance fighter by the name of Dani Rojas (you can choose your gender at the beginning of the game: with the male Dani voiced by Sean Rey, and the female by Nisa Gunduz). The fact that the people do need a firm hold if things are not to get loud, bloody and somewhat short-lived – for the Castillos anyway! – is backed up by the existence of the resistance. Refreshingly, he is not shown as a black and white evil guy: he has his reasons for his behaviour which are, to him at least, sensible. This lesson is El Presidente’s way of trying to toughen up his son, grooming him to succeed his brutal regime. Be too relaxed with them, however, and … Boom, presumably. This, he explains, is what the people are like: obedient as long as they are under a firm grip. He hands the boy, Diego, a grenade, holds down the firing mechanism and pulls out the pin. In this stunning beautiful place, with superb, if old, architecture, the evil dictator, Anton Castillo (beautifully voice-acted by Giancarlo Esposito) has a lesson for his son. This is to prevent the populace getting ideas about independence and free and fair elections and other such nonsense, of course… The game boasts the largest Far Cry map to date which you can cross on foot or in a nicely diverse range of vehicles, and – thanks to the determined efforts of El Presidente – the tropical paradise is frozen in time.

Far Cry 6 for PC is set on the fictional Caribbean island of Yara, a first person shooter in an open world(ish) location.
