初心者の中年といっても、55歳になる高齢者です。
FARCRY3⇒4（Primalもやりました）とやってきて、５は段々と進化してきて、とても楽しかったです。
３と４はレビューしていませんが、徐々に楽しさが増してきて、ついに５もクリアでき、投稿させていただきました。
私が、話すことは、皆様が思っていることの復唱になってしまうので、特には語りません。
ただ、一つだけ言わせてください、50代のおじさんがFPSを得意もしてなく、何かトライしてみようかなと思ったときに、このシリーズに出会い、できなくても楽しくできたらなぁと不安を持ちながら、購入した・・・結果、今、すごく楽しくプレイできていることは、すごくびっくりしています。だから、高齢者の方も楽しめる作品だと、個人的には、思っております。
以上、大した話ではないですが、投稿させていただきます。
PS、次は、NewDawnを。

My opinion on this game keeps flip-flopping between "I like it" and "I don't like it".

On one hand:
Beautiful graphics and a gorgeous world full of many details. Very well acted villain and main cast, gun animations are nice and smooth, game runs well (better than FC3 anyway), taking over outposts is fun.
This game is generally a very good sandbox, it has pretty much every vehicle you can think of. Boats, planes, buggies, cars, trucks, helicopters. Opens up many doors as to how you approach outposts. The sandbox places a large emphasis on big, action movie fun. You can either be all sneaky with silenced weapons and throwing knives... or get a bunch of sticky bombs, put em all over the place, explode them and then parachute down from a plane and shoot the place to pieces.

On the other hand:
This is just Far Cry 3 with a couple changes to game mechanics. Ubisoft keeps using the same exact structure for each subsequent FC game and it shows.
The story structure is basically this: you are in a place full of bad guys -> something goes wrong -> you run off and eventually pass out -> you wake up somewhere -> find the good guys that are your allies for the rest of the story -> get kidnapped by villain every so often so he can deliver his cool monologue -> hit or miss ending.
Ubi thinks they can rely on a well acted villain to save their story every single time. They can't.
There's also the chewed up and spat out open-world structure that every AAA game shoves down your throat. You have a bunch of markers on your map, and you have to clear them out by doing mundane tasks.

I don't quite know how to rate this game using a number scale. I don't like it, but I also like it at the same time. I'll say 7.5, bordering on 8 if I'm feeling generous.
