All month long we're highlighting cool games that might not be on your radar, as part of IGN First: Games to Watch in 2018.

Today's game is Far Cry 5 , the next installment in Ubisoft's hit open-world action series. For today's dose, we'll be showing off a side mission that means a whole lot to Larry Parker – one of the many characters you'll meet in the Holland Valley, one of three regions in Far Cry 5.A mad genius, Larry Parker is a super smart, and super eccentric inventor who's running an experiment – and it’s not clear why. Larry is one of the few characters in Far Cry 5 that actually isn’t concerned about The Project at Eden’s Gate – he’s got bigger fish to fry. Larry believes in a conspiracy, that humanity, at its very highest level, is in danger. In this second quest, you’ll see what Larry believes to be four alien artifacts that are controlling animals, all scattered around a mysterious crop circle.To see all the Games to Watch in 2018 as we roll them out over the month, be sure to head over to our IGN First Hub Page
