    It takes everything Far Cry and dumbs it down or takes it away. It was just freaking boring through and through. It might be worth ten bucks sale price just for a quick play through if you really like the genre. Much better games to spend your time and money on.

So I usually bought games like Primal, played for many hours because I want to complete everything, then I realized that not only I paid a considerable amount of money for THIS and do not get any pleasure playing, but I spent a lot of time without actual joy. Though I keep playing, because it is like a candy crash saga, a mild drug. You like mindless game where you constantly gain some levels, collect stuff and told how good you are. And you hate yourself for this, but keep spending time on it.

    Primal is so boring and lazy, even I can not spend more than 3 hours playing it. Ubisoft does not refund digital downloads, and that is good! If I could return money it would keep up my good attitude towards this studio and next year I would have gotten in the same trap of buying worthless time-spender. No, I have to be punished, thus I will not forget). Thank you, Ubisoft, with Primal you cured me of your games. I am afraid now even if a new Michel Ancel game is released under Ubi publisher, I am not buying it.

    Primal's story is so scarce that if you dig a full cinematic video of this game on youtube you will not loose anything. Side missions are copy-paste: you either protect people from animals/enemies, or you escort people while killing animals/enemies, or you simply kill animals/enemies. Most of the skills are passive improvements. Even on Expert difficulty the game is easy. Collectibles now don't even have lore to them, you just have to grab-em-all! I did not like in Far cry games the fact that there is no value to new weapons, just after prologue you already get a decent number of weapons to choose from and you can use just any two of them to beat the game, but further you can at least try to use different guns to renovate gameplay. So I'd welcome less guns but more effort to get them. But just 3 weapons in Primal for the whole game is another bad idea Combat gets repetitive in the beginning of the game already. And close combat system is bad, it does not hold against Condemned or Dark Messiah of M&M.

    Please, guys. If you want open world survival action, go play Dying light. It has better plot, side missions, crafting, climbing and fighting system. Seriously, anything is better in Dying light. Even the price.

    Shame on you, Ubisoft.    … Expand

    Same old, same old. Honestly do things ever change in the Farcry series? Feels like I'm playing Farcry 2 with better graphics and new backstory, every installment.

    Having said that, yes, Primal is just as boring and repetitive as the rest of the Farcry games. And if you like that, fine, buy it and enjoy it. But if you didn't think much of the former Farcry games, just save your money.    Same old, same old. Honestly do things ever change in the Farcry series?

    It's hard to say why this game doesn't work. I was interested in the beginning, but then the story feels super shallow and filled with cliches. The gameplay can be fun, - afterall the game has the latest far cry genes. The environment is beautiful as always. I think it all comes down to mission design.

    Far Cry 3 was a good port, this is not. PC games beware. Cons:
    -clunky controls
    -only checkpoint save system (console port)
    -very basic game mechanics
    -very basic combat (keep pressing "S" or "D" while attacked by a tiger etc.
    -your animal dies but that doesn't matter as you just call another one
    +graphics are good
    +the game has its own primal language

    Kinda boring after a while, always grinding for stuff and there is a lack of weapons in my opinion. Anyone who says this is a great game is an idiot and you should check out his other reviews. One guy gave Star Wars Battlefront a 9. Of course that guy is going to love this one.

    I can't even bring myself to write a full review for this after the crushing disappointment that I feel now, having just uninstalled it.

Suffice it to say that the free-roam and random mission gameplay is excellent! I know that those who crave the Rambo-esque style of gunplay from the former titles will likely look at the clubs and spears as a step back for the series, but I really appreciate "going Medieval" over "rapid fire" any day -- so this was right up my alley.

    It's the boss fights that *completely* destroy the experience. What a travesty. I should have seen it coming after the first ridiculous "Great Hunts" (against signature animals). Rather than it functioning like anything remotely connected to a HUNT...it's simply an exercise in eye-rolling frustration as you die over and over again taking down a bear or sabre-toothed tiger with more hit points than an M1 Abrams tank. Employ strategy? Nope. Set up a tactical ambush using the environment? Nope. Craft special foods to give yourself the particular edge to emerge victorious? Nope. Tame a certain animal that can exploit the beast's weakness? Nope.

    You just run around like a lunatic unloading every trap, bomb, spear, club, arrow, throwing shard, and tamed beast in your arsenal while the "Great Beast" simply one-shots or maybe two-shots everything it touches and moves around at about 150% the normal speed. After reloading 4 or 5 times to frantically mash attack buttons, you'll be able to subdue it.

    Which gives you the ability to tame and use this monstrosity and all of its supernatural abilities -- right???

    Nope.

    As soon as you defeat it, it seems to become a normal beast with a different look. So you can't even use it effectively against other "Great Beasts", as it will be put down just as fast as everything else.

    And the boss fights against human villains are even WORSE. The fight against Ull is the single lamest, stupidest, most un-immersive, boss fight I think I've ever encountered in a video game since the 1980's. For a brief while, I thought, "No...I'm missing something! I have to be. This must work like Dark Souls -- a pattern I need to find...or a specific weakness..."

    NOPE.

    Just using a few, one-off, environmental damage positions before spamming every available attack ad nauseam for over 15 minutes while Ull just continues wandering around, taking spear after spear after spear, club after club after club, arrow after arrow after arrow...and simply not dying. On...and on...and on...an on...

    But -- BUT -- Surely, the other bosses won't be like this! SURELY -- it was just this fight because it's, like, Ull's special thing. Right? Surely!!!

    >

    I'm not even going into the fight against Batari. Instant un-installation.

    What the @#$% happened, Ubisoft??? What in honest, living creation!? I have to award this at least a 4 for the ~20 hours of incredible enjoyment the free-play provided...the beautiful world...the really neat Survival Mode... But what should have been one of the most rewarding parts of the game -- tackling the major antagonists and advancing the story -- left me trembling in rage at the utter, pointless, frustrating, monotonous, cheap, trifling execution. It's completely unforgivable. I simply have to ensure the game is in the red.

    And, I'm sorry. I have never seen a title so instantly destroy every single thing that makes it enjoyable for the sake of "padding the length". The effect is awful. Learn from this disaster. Please.    … Expand

    Let me tell you I love Far Cry series. I started with amazing Far Cry. I survived crossroads in Far Cry 2. I loved Far Cry 3 and became Jason Brody until I became Rex Colt in the best ubi DLC Blood Dragon - which deserve full fledged game UBI!!!!! I enjoyed flying in my jumpsuit in Kyrat - Far Cry 4.

    But I did NOT enjoy Far Cry Primal.

    - your own tribe has no SOUL in them, You do not build any relationship with them.
    - shallow characters - they are there just to give you fetch quest, nothing more.
    - used map is big flaw.
    - enemies - they are interesting, but you don't have much opportunities to know them better.
    - weapons - the biggest flaw are weapons, there is not many of them and they are mostly the same.
    - owl - that is just ridiculous
    - death of your animals - there is no penalty what so ever. You just bring new one.
    - ecosystem - it's just **** Far Cry 4, WTF?
    - story
    - missions
    - mammoth missions - oh GOD (sorry, not your fault) OH UBI, just why are you punishing us. This is EXTRA **** AWFUL. Never again. So much for pre-order bonuses. I got burned and I will never forget.
    - it takes itself too serious.

    + Cave Drawings
    + Collectibles
    + Face animations
    + Venja dialect.
    + Stealth take-downs are fun as always
    + Fire
    + Leather costumes - they look like cavemen.
    + Outpost are fun.
    + great artistic style

    Summary: If you have choice between this and another Far Cry, choose another Far Cry. Unless this is for 5 - 15 bucks/euros.

    BLOOD DRAGON 2 with cheesy one liners. 80 's feels. Great Music and just fun game-play. Sci-fi is great for your creativity, use it. Create new take-downs. Peace!    … Expand

    I could complain about many more problems like the outdated graphics, poor checkpoint placement, lazy map design (heard that the map layout is very similar to Far Cry 4) but in other words it's pretty much a game that gets boring and frustrating over time.

    1) Игра дико скушная и однообразная из разу в раз мы тупо бегаем и фармимся, и так вю игру

    2) В игре никакого сюжета кришированный всем надоевший сюжет про месть

    3) Игра плохо оптимизированна даже на максимальных настройках будет мыло

    4) В игре Однообразная карта которая спустя 5 часов (Минимум) начинает надоедать)

    5) В игре главные герои и злодеи воопще не запоминаются мне на них было насрать глубоко они не запомнились как тот же Ваас или Пэйган Мин, на героев и антагонистов мне было НАСРАТЬ!!!!

    6) В игре плохое разнообразие оружия, серьезно в твоем разпоряжении всеголиш три основных оружия: Копье, Лук, Дубинка, Бомбы, и метательные ножи

    Плюсы:
    1) Из плюсов могу выделить огромный животный мир, Можно покататься на саблизубых тиграх на мамонтах и Т.Д, да и самих зверей вагон и маленькая тележка
    2) В игре очень важен стелс и он хорош, но это в серии и так было хорошо развито

    Итог :

    Игру я не советую по причине плохой оптимизации, скучного геймплея и таки же скучных квестов , плохая карта и скучная как и вся игра, и из-за плохих МПСИ и глав героев и антагонистов, и маленького разнообразия оружия.

    Я не хейтер Far Cry это прекрасная серия, но ране упомянуто это вызжатая корова где есть хорошие игры и есть плохие ( Советую Игры из серии ) Far Cry 3-4-5 ( Ну и в принцыпе Blood Dragon Но это на любителя кому то может не зайти)

    Свое мнение я высказал Игру прошел на 60 процентов потому что больше в это дерьмо нельзя играть, Игру я дико НЕ РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!!!    … Expand

    Before I started writing this, I saw a Reddit post about the fact that FC4 and Primal use the same world map. It's literally identical, they just modded it, and the games supposedly don't even take place in the same continent. I didn't notice this while playing, and that's not a damning factor on its own, but it speaks volumes about the mentality with which the devs made this game.

I didn't notice this while playing, and that's not a damning factor on its own, but it speaks volumes about the mentality with which the devs made this game. Primal is a FC4 spinoff in an interesting setting, but with most of the features missing.

    If you remember the FC4 missions where you have a tiger and you tell it to attack things, that's basically the entirety of Primal. Ubisoft do like taking parts of games that players found interesting and expanding on them, which is great. The problem is that they didn't expand on anything here. The tiger missions in FC4 lasted as long as they should without overstaying their welcome, and in no way can they support an entire game on their own. Not without adding a LOT of other gameplay. And no, that DOESN'T mean just padding and busywork, Ubisoft.

    I can't recommend Primal to anyone at full price. I would only recommend this at 50% sale, and again only to people who have already played FC3 and 4, want more, AND have a high tolerance for busywork. At least Blood Dragon had its own map.    … Expand

Enemy don't have armor or smothing like this so after few arrows they looks like **** porcupine but still alive.

    The games feels great at first and very exciting and as you want to explore and enjoy what the game has to offer, well it offers disappointment.

    I did enjoy 30H but the game is overal poorly made and design is to be desired.

    Absolute waste of money, if you are hoping for a true real nice experience in that ERA.

    I played in survival, normal difficulty. Game was pretty easy just some game mechanics are absolute trash.

    Gameplay is SOOO bothersome

    You will spend your time playing in a BLACK and WHITE environment ( ability to allow to see targets)

    Your sliding will never be used because it change camera direction to the sky so you have to lift your mouse on top of your mouse pad and drag it down EVERY TIME YOU SLIDE so I stopped doing it and regret to release the sprint button before I do.

    The way it goes from day to night in less than 30 sec is absolute trash ( you cannot plan accordingly and during that time my powerful computer struggled) so game isnt even well optimized

    Combat is trash because the movement are so slow that if you try to move your feet and hit at the same time is NOT POSSIBLE

    After every hit or being hit for like 5-6 sec you are standing still making fights horrible.    … Expand

    Far Cry Primal самая унылая , скучная , забагованная игра в серии Far Cry которую я играл ! Я не знаю какому школьнику понравился сюжет данного произведения , как будто его писали в сортире при диком запоре... Доп задания все однотипные и нужны только для зарабатывания опыта для прокачки навыков .

    I loved far cry 4! When primal came out, I wasn't too thrilled about the idea of the setting. But I still gave it a chance and bought the game. After 5 hours of gameplay, I can honestly say I hate this game to the point that I will never play it again. The worst offence? its ultra boring.

    For the love of God will you please start making some NEW GAMES, not just exactly the same game over and over and over and over and over with interchangeable texture packs & C-movie backstories swapped out each year...    … Expand

    The hackneyed story doesn't detract from the thrilling world and new challenges of 10,000BC. [Issue#249, p.45]

    There is a seed of a fascinating game hidden somewhere in Far Cry: Primal, but, I’m afraid, someone else will have to find it and grow it.

    Primitive gameplay cycle of Far Cry, placed in primitive world, suddenly starts to make sense, and even story doesn’t feel as barebones and perfunctory as usual. Here, you’re not playing as a skinny frat boy who suddenly discovers a talent for killing hardened soldiers but ultimately just wants to get back to civilization – you’re a hunter who simply wants to become respectable leader of his tribe with a personal luxury cave. [Issue#207, p.46]
