At least, that’s what Far Cry 5’s pre-release pitch would have us expect. Far Cry 5 is attempting to make a statement simply telling a Far Cry story in America. Far Cry 5’s setting in the fictional Hope County of contemporary rural Montana - pointedly familiar, and not the exotic location we’d expect from the series - is a signal.
