With a message. Games have messages, just like Hollywood.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Just watched the trailer and read a description.  Player is an officer set to arrest a cult leader.  Cult has taken over the county, more or less.  Violence ensues.  Don't know about any hidden adgendas or anything, but I'd be interested in giving it a play.

Some of the other games in the series were pretty good.

Far Cry 2: Set in Africa.  Player is a mercenary, bad guys were arms dealers, a Christian priest plays a positive role.
Far Cry 3: Set on an island.  Player is spoiled rich kid, bad guys were pirates, island mysticism plays a positive role through most of the game but ends up being cast in a pretty negative light.
Far Cry 4: Set in a Himalayan country.  Player is the son of an expatriate native who is returning home, bad guys are the tyrannical government, Buddhism (I think?) plays a significant role in the lives of the innocents and "good guys" but if the religious leader is given control he slaughters his opponents.

I'd give Far Cry 5 a play.

Loved FarCry 3, still remember the "Poking the Hornets Nest" mission. Looking forward to 5, the Nick Rye trailer is my favorite so far, though they're all good.  [ar15]

“Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth,” Hemingway once said. Today, many of us have become rich in the currency of cowardice. We have so many things and so few experiences. We are desperate to live as long as possible, not as large as possible. We are so afraid to say goodbye to the world that we never say hello.
-Marty Beckerman (from a Wired article of all things)

I will say one thing about Far Cry 2... it is VERY atmospheric. You really feel drawn into the game, not just observing it.

The first Bioshock was very much like that.
