Quick Answer

The closest games to Far Cry 6 are Far Cry 5, Just Cause 3, Metal Gear Solid V, Ghost Recon Wildlands and Days Gone. Below are 9 picks with the reason for each — what carries over from Far Cry 6, and what does not.

What Made Far Cry 6 Work

Far Cry 6 is an outpost sandbox. The story and the villain are the framing; the game is spotting a compound from a ridge, planning an approach, and watching it fall apart in an entertaining way. Anything recommended here has to give you tools and let you misuse them.

Far Cry 6 is Ubisoft Toronto's 2021 open-world shooter, set on the fictional Caribbean island of Yara. Dani Rojas joins a guerrilla revolution against dictator Antón Castillo, played by Giancarlo Esposito. The game offers makeshift Resolver weapons, Supremo backpacks and outposts you can take on with stealth, vehicles or chaos. Fans usually want another open-world sandbox built on improvising your approach.

The same sandbox with the physics dialled far past sensible.
Why it fits: Avalanche Studios' 2015 game is a physics sandbox with a grapple, wingsuit and destructible bases.

The best version of this loop by a distance — plan, infiltrate, improvise.
Why it fits: Kojima Productions' 2015 game lets you scout bases and choose how to infiltrate them.

Outpost clearing with co-op and a much larger map.

Open-world survival where the traversal and the hordes carry it.
Why it fits: Bend Studio's 2019 game is an open-world survival game with hordes and a motorcycle.

8.Rage 2
Far Cry's structure with far better shooting.
Why it fits: Avalanche Studios and id Software's 2019 game combines an open world with fast shooting.

For the same chaos with none of the seriousness.
Why it fits: Volition's 2013 open-world game has superpowers and a comic tone.
