Far Cry New Dawn scores – our roundup of the critics

Far Cry New Dawn reviews are up, so it's time to check out what the critics made of it

Rejoice, for the New Dawn is nearly upon us – Far Cry New Dawn, that is. Ubisoft’s futuristic take on a post-nuclear version of Montana releases tomorrow, but the scores are coming in already, so it’s time to find out what the critics thought of the spin-off.
