Our recommendation
Far Cry 5 is an FPS game developed and published by Ubisoft and is a fifth game in the series of Far Cry. It is the spiritual successor to Far Cry 4. It is set in fictional Hope County, Montana, where a religious violent cult has risen and it is on the player to fight back against it and save Montana from descending into lunacy.
The gameplay is very similar to the previous Far Cry games - you have a massive world map, where you can freely travel, blow up bad guys, capture bases, kill wild animals and craft stuff from them, and everything you'd come to expect from a Ubisoft open world game. You also have companions, the most notable of them your trusty dog.
Far Cry 5 is great if you're not tired of Far Cry games. For a long-time fan of the series, there is not much new to see here. If you're new though, it does best what Far Cry has always done - freestyle carnage, where you just roam around the world, smash bases and feeling like an extremely strong force of nature. The various environments are atmospheric and refreshingly new, and riding through Montana and listening to country music is quite the fun experience. The story is not considered to be as gut-punching as Far Cry 3 but is solid nonetheless.
In the Hours of Darkness DLC, you are transported into Vietnam, where you have to, in a short campaign of about 3 hours, find your squad mates and evacuate them to safety. This also means you use different gear and use new skills such as "Survival Instinct".
The second DLC, Lost on Mars, takes you to, well, Mars, and sets you in a stylized invasion of Martian bugs, where you have a jetpack, blast bugs with lasers (with apt names such as Blaster of Disaster and Morphinator). It lasts about 4-5 hours.
As the name suggests, in the Dead Living Zombies DLC, you fight zombies. This is not a continuous story, rather 7 separate scenarios you can fight with a friend or an NPC. These range from sunny farms to ominous woodlands. Each map gives you a score for how well you went through it.
The Deluxe Pack summarizes all the various content received with various other editions. It adds a myriad of weapons into the game to play with, along with some vehicle skins.

Key resellers are sites that sell game keys at (usually) much lower prices than traditional retailers. They do this through a combination of ways, like selling keys that come in a bundle, that were on a sale and many other ways.
The reason why we separated them from traditional retailers is that these stores have been the subject of a divisive discussion for a long time.
The reason we include them is that you can buy keys on these sites usually for very big discounts, sometimes quite ridiculously cheap. In 99 % of cases, they will work the same as a much more expensive key would. For many people, especially people from countries with lower standards of living, this can mean big savings that have a significant impact on their life, while also playing the game and not resorting to piracy.
If you are buying on these stores, we have a few recommendations to follow:
