This is particularly unfortunate as there is little else to play the DLC for. Many encounters only feature a few enemies that can quickly be dealt with, making the realms feel empty and dull. However, the biggest detriment to the combat throughout a playthrough of Lost Between Worlds is just how sparse it is. These work to help keep players on their toes by forcing them to adapt to their limited resources. There are ones that have snipers, knock the player down with melee weapons, ambush players after being invisible, or can place a shield down on the ground to hide behind.
There are also numerous different types of Shardfaces to mix up combat encounters. When players do have to switch back and forth between them, it becomes an annoyance more than anything because of how much switching between them lags and slows down the player’s play.
For most combat encounters, players don’t need to change their gun’s color frequently because they mostly only have enemies of a single color. Otherwise, their guns won’t do any damage. While in combat, players have to switch the color of their gun between red and blue to match the enemy they want to shoot. In realms, players don’t run into human enemies, but instead, a new enemy type awkwardly called Shardfaces that can be red or blue. The other main attraction of Lost Between Worlds is its new color-based combat system. The omission seems particularly glaring as the unique realms would lend themselves very well to players being able to prep for a run by building a unique loadout that compensates for it. In Lost Between Worlds players get randomized loadouts from a very limited pool of weapons and have to restart runs in dying, but there is very little else to add personality to individual runs. Those previous DLCs took much greater advantage of the format, however. Rogue-lite structure is nothing new to Far Cry 6, as all three of its previous DLCs were small insulated rogue-lites. Since Lost Between Worlds is built on a light rogue-lite structure, the only use for Glint is purchasing a revive for 100 Glint after dying. Players can find cases that can contain a small selection of weapons, shortcuts that can be accessed on later runs with better equipment, and small bits of a new currency called Glint. The realms also suffer from not having a lot to explore for. While the gimmicks of each realm are intriguing at first, the feeling quickly diminishes because of how uninteresting their layouts and contents are.
However, the pleasure of exploring the realms falls below exploring in the base game. Most of the time in each realm is spent exploring with small encounters with enemies popping up throughout it. In each of the realms, players have to explore to find resources and navigate a path to one of its two portals. There are 16 in total, with effects like having lightning periodically strike the ground, having water that damages the player when they are in it, or having lengthy segments of swimming for players to navigate. Each of these realms has its own theme and mechanics. However, getting the shards is much easier said than done, as they are spread out across a web of inter-connected simulation realms. To escape, the player has to collect five shards broken off the ship to repair it. When they do they get stuck in a pocket universe created by the damaged alien ship with an alien presence called Fai. Lost Between Worlds kicks off with a meteor crashing into the island of Yara, causing the player’s character Dany to investigate. The newest DLC for Far Cry 6 takes the game in a new sci-fi direction.
