While stealth is still a viable option, as it has been since Far Cry 3, it’s easy to get the feeling that Far Cry 6 absolutely doesn’t want you to take this approach. The game’s emphasis on guerrilla warfare encourages players to use makeshift weapons (and whatever they can find in the immediate environment) to get one over on Castillo’s forces. It’s fair to say that Far Cry 6 turns the series’ sandbox style gameplay well up to eleven. Some 'Resolver' weapons are better than others.Antón’s cold and calculating demeanor is a refreshing departure from the series’ more eccentric baddies like Vaas or Pagan Min, and is done justice by Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian) who lends his face and voice to the character.Įsposito clearly enjoyed playing the role, his every line of dialog dripping with contempt for everyone around him save for his son, Diego, who also becomes one of Far Cry 6’s most fascinating characters – walking a thin line between embracing his father’s wishes and sympathizing with the revolutionaries who want to end the dictator’s reign. It makes them easy to hate, sure, but their one-dimensional nature falls far short of the much more well-realized Antón Castillo.Īnd speaking of the man himself, Antón Castillo might just be the best Far Cry villain to date.

Each of the big man’s underlings, including his nephew José and Canadian corporatist Sean McKay are cartoonishly evil. The goons on Castillo’s team are a little less convincing, unfortunately.
