Hours of Darkness is set during the Vietnam War, where players take on the role of an American soldier fighting to make it back to safety after a helicopter crash.Īccording to the trailer above, Hours of Darkness features a squad of American soldiers that all survived the crash. I'm more of a lover of loud, ridiculous combat and rampaging animals when it comes to my Far Cry, and while there are plenty of ziplines and explosives and noisy airstrikes, Hours of Darkness doesn't quite have the zany chaos I usually look for.The first Far Cry 5 DLC finally has a release date. I haven't completed the DLC yet, but if you're the type who has always approached Far Cry's outposts and strongholds as stealthily as possible, you may enjoy the focus on moving quietly and carrying a bamboo stick here. In Hours of Darkness it feels more like you can go looking for trouble rather than in Far Cry 5 proper, where trouble constantly falls in your lap (and explodes).
Maybe part of it is due to keeping a low profile, but it's possible to run through the map for extended periods without attracting either enemies or fangs. After a few hours of play in the DLC, I've only been attacked twice by wild animals. Here's a sentence I never thought I'd write: the Vietnam War doesn't feel quite as dangerous as Montana. In other words, sometimes the best strategy in a dire situation is to just run away and pick flowers for a while. On the plus side, crafting a medkit simply requires finding and harvesting three plants, at which point a kit is added to your inventory.
Snipers in the DLC feel especially deadly, and are so ridiculously accurate it doesn't feel quite fair. With only a single health bar, it pays to be stealthy, or at least make the attempt, because death can come quite quickly in firefights with more than a few enemies at once.
