On one hand, it‘s very cool to be going into Far Cry 5 with a novel‘s worth of backstory and world building under the belt! On its own though, the story was so-so for me and the ending flopped.
I can appreciate though that as an author it must be difficult to be constrained with what you can or can‘t do with a tie in property. The writing was still great at times and I wouldn‘t shy away from trying some of his other stuff.
