![]() ![]() ![]() Exiting the game saves the progress that was made in unlocking Joseph’s abilities and weapons, but no mission progress is saved. Joseph: Collapse takes the Far Cry experience and condenses it into an experience that is more akin to an arcade shooter that can be completed in a single session. The gameplay is on the more simplistic side, but that actually works in its favor. Most missions consist of shooting an endless horde of Joseph’s former followers while trying to undo his corrupting influence which has taken on the form of pulsating alien-like pods. Fully upgrading Joseph’s abilities and weapons will take several playthroughs and the increasing difficulty levels gives reason to do so. Joseph: Collapse isn’t a substantial piece of content, but its roguelike nature gives it a lot of replayability. Those who enjoyed Far Cry 5 can explore this version of Hope County to witness how Joseph’s mind has twisted and corrupted it along with seeing what some familiar characters have been up to since the bombs went off. Completing the cross reassembly can be done in roughly an hour, but completing it unlocks greater difficulty levels that also offer greater rewards. Also exploration will give the player the opportunity to gain more Penance points to upgrade Joseph and witness events that provide insight into his backstory. Completing weapon missions unlocks new firearms for Joseph to use against his former flock, which require him to kill a certain number of his followers to gain access to the guns. It’s recommended, however, that you explore Hope County and discover the secrets it has to offer. In order to escape Joseph’s mind, players technically only need to complete the three main missions. Joseph: Collapse brings roguelike mechanics to Far Cry, so whenever Joseph dies he loses all his equipment but is allowed to keep a certain amount of Penance that he can use to purchase permanent upgrades to his character to make his next attempt at reassembling his cross easier. The mirror is where Joseph can invest the Penance in himself where he can increase his health, gain more syringes or get access to tools like the wingsuit or grappling hook. The armory is where he can purchase and upgrade firearms whereas the mirror’s function isn’t that obvious. As Joseph opens treasure chests and kills his former followers he collects Penance which basically serves as money to use at the mirror and armory. Joseph begins with access to a basic handgun gun and a couple of health syringes. This sounds like it would be easy enough except his followers are now irradiated husks that have turned against him. In order to escape from this mental prison, Joseph needs to collect the three broken pieces of his cross. An ominous voice, likely his own subconsciousness manifesting itself as the voice of God tells him how he ruined everything. He’s weak and unarmed, with all of his followers having turned against him. Joseph: Collapse takes place in a twisted version of Hope County inside the former cult leader’s mind. After the fallout from him taking over Hope County that culminated in a minor explosion, Joseph finds himself questioning whether he did the right thing in Far Cry 6 Joseph: Collapse. ![]() At least it’s easy to judge him as such after everything that happened in Far Cry 5. But like a lot of religious whackjobs that start cults, he could be given the benefit of the doubt that he truly believes he’s doing God’s work and providing what’s best for his family, misguided as he may be. No matter the reasoning, though, fans can judge it for themselves in just a few days.Joseph Seed is a terrible person. It’s not exactly that this early release date spells ruin for Far Cry 6’s Joseph Seed DLC, but it seems that any good aspects would have been mentioned as well. Sure, fans can play it and beat it in a day in this nice little buffer period, but there are certainly those who wouldn’t put down either title to play Joseph Seed’s DLC, meaning it could be overshadowed. Releasing the Joseph Seed DLC, which would only take a few hours at most, between releases like Dying Light 2 and Horizon Forbidden West really isn’t the strongest tactic. At the same time, for non-Season Pass owners who have been purchasing it piecemeal, this presents a conundrum a March release could have avoided: a busy video-game filled February 2022. Again, though, it’s not reinventing the wheel and so it may have just focused on speed. It could be that Ubisoft is ready to move on and just accelerated the DLC, in order to focus on other projects. ![]()
