The best adventure games like Far Cry 6 are Far Cry 5, Just Cause 3 and Metal Gear Solid V. Below are 7, each with the reason it is here — and, at the end, what filtering to adventure costs you.
Filtering to adventure means the place and the story are what you want back, not the challenge. It is the right filter when the thing you remember is where you were rather than what you did.
What you get: A world with a reason to wander it, and writing that survives being read rather than skipped.
What made Far Cry 6 worth playing in the first place is covered on the full list. This page is the adventure part of that answer, and only the adventure part.
The tightest of the modern entries and the best map in the series.
The same sandbox with the physics dialled far past sensible.
The best version of this loop by a distance — plan, infiltrate, improvise.
Outpost clearing with co-op and a much larger map.
Open-world survival where the traversal and the hordes carry it.
Outposts plus parkour, and the night changes everything.
For the same chaos with none of the seriousness.
Mechanical depth. Several of the best adventure games have combat that is deliberately unsatisfying, because they want your attention somewhere else.
Specifically, these are strong answers for Far Cry 6 that are not adventure games, so they are not on this page:
The full list is on games like Far Cry 6 — 9 picks, no genre filter.
Far Cry 5. The tightest of the modern entries and the best map in the series.
No. Far Cry 6 released on the PC & Modern Multi-Platform, but a recommendation is only useful if you can play it, so the picks above span platforms and eras. What they share is the genre and the reason.
Anywhere the story and the place matter more than the skill ceiling — point-and-click, walking sims, narrative thrillers and most open worlds. The label alone tells you very little, which is why each pick here says what it actually is.
They split hard. Open-world adventures run to a hundred hours; the narrative ones are often finishable in an evening, and the short ones are usually the better written.
By hand. Each pick was written for the full Far Cry 6 list first, on what the game actually does, and this page is the part of that list that is adventure — never a genre tag lookup, which is how "best racing games like Super Mario 64" used to be a page on this site.
