On the other hand, if you want a tougher challenge in Far Cry 5, the Hard setting should suit your needs. You can change the game’s difficulty setting any time you want, so feel free to mess
Obviously the first step is to turn on "Survivor Mode" as well as put the difficulty to Expert and enable Permadeath It puts you on par with the enemies and gives you that incredibly grim feeling that 'hey, I'm a pre-historic human being who isn't a tank and can take maybe one spear to the body before dying'.
It's not really an immersive sim, as noted here, but on the highest difficulty with no map it's a highly immersive game. In truth, it's my favourite far cry next to 2. Boring crafting, boring open world filled with map markers lacking context. So, standard Ubisoft then haha.

I’d hardly call that a “slightly changed” atmosphere.
