Far Cry 5 is a game in which you desperately defend yourself against a heavily armed religious cult. Or, if you prefer, you could use it as a nice chance to squeeze in a bit of fishing.

There's no doubt that Far Cry 5 is a tense game. But it turns out some people have become wrapped up in the game's fishing mechanic.

Evidently defeating Joseph Seed and his militarized cult can wait.
