It's a game about pet crocodiles and deadly sausage dogs, a game about CD-Guns and rocket-firing backpacks, yet it seems at times that Esposito's grim persona counteracts this bizarreness. After all, this is a silly game about blowing stuff up in increasingly bizarre and entertaining ways. His performance is fantastic, but the plotting is disjointed, and often Castillo's motivations seem uneven and gratuitous just for the shock value.Īt times, Far Cry 6 seems to suffer from a bit of an identity crisis.
Honestly, though, Castillo is both Far Cry 6's greatest strength and greatest weakness.
The mood is somber and creepy when he enters the scene, with some true standout moments (that we won't spoil) throughout his 45 minutes of on-screen time. Giancarlo Esposito gives a breathtaking performance as Far Cry 6's chief villain, Anton Castillo.
