Far Cry 5 reported issues

1. Low quality graphics

If you expected Far Cry 5 would feature top-notch graphics, think again. Many players already complained about low quality graphics issues adding that the characters look like they fell out of a 2010 game. Indeed, the game’s textures are muddy and the overall low resolution graphics significantly reduce gamers’ enthusiasm. Some rumors suggest that Ubisoft intentionally lowered the texture quality probably to get better FPS rates and allow players to run the game on older hardware.
