Prior to the release of 2017’s Assassin’s Creed Origins, many had grown tired of the regular rigamarole Ubisoft’s stealth franchise put them through. One Ubisoft series that the same can’t be said for, however, is Far Cry. While the announcement of a new Far Cry should make you think, “Hell yes, I can’t wait to cut loose, wreak havoc, and overthrow a maniacal dictator”, my first reaction to Far Cry New Dawn was more like, “Yup, that looks about right.

Control has quickly become one of the most anticipated games of the year, and it’s easy to see why. Remedy revealed the game at E3 2018 last year, but stopped short of providing any release date details (other than a vague “Summer” window) since.

The enhancement core update helped balance things out, but two DLCs into Destiny 2’s annual pass, cores are still exceedingly rare. “The goal of the infusion system is to create an impactful feeling of progression when you increase the Power of an item you enjoy using,” Bungie wrote. “That is the goal the infusion system, but if the overall system is causing a negative experience, we want to work to improve it.
