Entering Eden's Gate's compound is a tense affair, as violent fanatics encircle the rookie deputy and his colleagues like a pack of wolves.
The game starts when Far Cry 5's silent and customizable protagonist, a rookie Sheriff deputy, joins a Federal agent to enact an arrest warrant for Joseph Seed, on charges of kidnapping.įar Cry 5 has one of the best introductions in the series, if not the best. I'm confident Seed and his 'family' will be remembered as some of the series' all-time great villains. Joseph Seed, a preacher otherwise known as 'The Father' has amassed a huge following owing to a combination of his uncanny charisma, and control of a narcotic known as 'Bliss.' Drawing on inspiration from real-world cults like ISIS and The People's Temple, Far Cry 5's 'Eden's Gate' warps established religious doctrine to self-fulfil an apocalyptic vision.
