The closest games to Far Cry 6 are Far Cry 5, Just Cause 3 and Metal Gear Solid V. Below, 9 picks with the reason for each — what carries over from Far Cry 6, and what does not.
Far Cry 6 is an outpost sandbox. The story and the villain are the framing; the game is spotting a compound from a ridge, planning an approach, and watching it fall apart in an entertaining way. Anything recommended here has to give you tools and let you misuse them.
Far Cry 6 released on the PC & Modern Multi-Platform. The list below is not restricted to that console — a recommendation is only useful if you can actually play it, so it spans generations and platforms.
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.
If the planning-and-approach part is what you like.
Far Cry's structure with far better shooting.
For the same chaos with none of the seriousness.
Several of these have their own page here: games like Just Cause 3.

By hand, one game at a time, on what the source game actually does — its pacing, its movement, its difficulty, its tone. Genre tags alone put Far Cry 6 next to games that feel nothing like it, so they are not the basis for this list. Each pick carries the reason it is here so you can judge it yourself.
