Including the first look a new mountainous region and footage of the co-op in action.

We finally got our hands on the PC version of Far Cry 5 and it looks and feels as great as we hoped. Unlike our previous hands-on, this demo took us to the northern third of the map, a mountainous and wooded area where we make friends with a bear named Cheeseburger, kill a lot of cultists and their brainwashed wolf companions, and catch a few fat trout.

Co-op was on display too, which you can watch below. My partner and I rescue some hostages, find the keys to a hidden bunker, and try not to crash our helicopters while  driving out the cultist threat. We are not the best pilots.
