    Overall frustrating experience and the constant grind is not worth the price tag on this game

    The game looks great even in 2021, but boring quests and the lack of a main story are very bad for this game. Well-designed nature, quite memorable characters, nice graphics and excellent performance. All this pales before you get bored of the game very quickly.

    I always wanted to be some dude in 10,000 BC - not. This game is boring! Especially after playing something like Infinite Warfare. It looks great but its all a waste in such a dull setting. Play any other Far Cry game instead.

    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.

    The Special mammoth missions are just some bad lame jokes there are very useless and boring as hell.

    Retarded like all last Far Cry, in middle and late game you need to put 5-6 arrows in enemy to kill or if this warchief nothing change in far cry 4 in bossy enemy you need few mags to kill in this game you need 20 arrows and 5 spear to kill them in naked chest. Enemy don't have armor or smothing like this so after few arrows they looks like **** porcupine but still alive.

    Sopa - ok yakma olayı cidden iyi değildi çünkü her yaktığınızda tüm yapay zeka sizden kaçıyordu. Ayrıca o sopaları, okları nasıl yaktığı da belli deği. Sinematiği yoktu. Nasıl, neyle yaktığını göremiyordunuz.
    Evet, Far Cry 4' te iyi bir oyun değildi bence fakat bu gerçekten rezaletti.

    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. Don't get me wrong riding animals is pretty cool but everything else just seemed sort of "disappointing".

    Looks flashy but has little to offer that you haven't seen before. Basically a re-skinned version of Far Cry 3/4. Boring to the bone once you get the hang of it. Everything is confusing, the difficulty is terribly unbalanced, visuals can be an eyesore. Basically, I don't think this is worth the money unless you get it for the price of a cheap DLC.

    Far Cry Primal is a DLC sold for 60 bucks. Some reskins, copy-paste the map of FC4, and that's it. Selling a game like this for that price is an offense itself.

    I've been lucky enough to dodge performance issues - floats around 80fps with everything on High (i5 3570 at stock speed, GTX970). Hasn't dropped below 70.

    It's not a 'bad' game. The world is pretty, the weapons handle really nicely at range (although melee is poor) and it has the same sense of exploration as its predecessors. If you're expecting the same style of carnage and mayhem as in 3 and 4 you're going to be disappointed. You play as a hunter-gatherer. The game is predominantly about hunting and gathering. You will not be setting fire to cannabis plantations with dub-reggae playing in the background or trying to assassinate a flamboyantly homosexual drug lord dictator. If that turns you off, don't buy it.

    Its main problem is that it's painfully 'safe'. Missed opportunities everywhere - the skill system is uninspired and exists solely to tick the 'level progression' box. The world is absolutely teeming with wildlife, which seems really cool until you see four leopards spawn on top of each other and sprint off in the same direction to attack a goat standing 100 yards away. Crafting is painfully standard - they could've so easily hybridised skills and crafting to allow weapon customisation and tiered upgrades that rely equally on experience, resource gathering, knowledge and discoveries but instead they're entirely linear. Hunter vision is a really lazy substitute for proper hunting mechanics and is made even more obnoxious by the way it interferes with the colour palette, especially considering you'll be forced to use it fairly regularly.

    If you want a holiday in a really pretty, very diverse landscape with cool sound design and also want to throw spears at mountain lions, this is a game for you. It appeals to the part of me that wants to up sticks, move to the US, become a park ranger and disappear into the wilderness for months at a time. If you'd rather shoot RPGs at livestock don't bother.

    With regards to the 'same map as Far Cry 4' controversy: yes it's lazy and it's disappointing that they cut corners, but you wouldn't have noticed if nobody had pointed it out to you.

    Don't get this on the PC in any price. Get it on consoles if it has a sale. I wish Ubisoft put more effort into the PC port. I also wish this game was more different. All the other main Far Cry games(expect Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 1's expansions) were different. Even though Far Cry 4 was basically a copy of Far Cry 3, I still had fun with it and the PC port was decent enough(but was not great). Now that Far Cry Primal is also basically another Far Cry 3, I cannot in my right mind excuse Ubisoft for their actions. It's getting very redundant. I remember the Far Cry series as being innovative(up until Far Cry 4 was released) and original. It was a Ubisoft series that I was happy that it didn't fall into the milking processes of Ubisoft, but sadly, it is now. This game had potential to be one of the best survival games.

    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.

    It seems the game took inspiration from other survival games popular on pc but implemented a way to simple and boring crafting system to appeal to the console masses. The game is way to easy aswell, I played on normal and I recomend anyone looking to play this game to start on hard. And playing it on the hardest difficulty still doesn't make it a "survival game".
    First things first when playing this game is unchecking the gathering animation as it does nothing but waste time and annoy you. You will be stopping and detouring on your way to your destinations ALOT.
    Traversing this world is not as fun as in FC3 and 4 with the lack of a wing suit. And what they did add, the ability to have a pet beast, some even ridable does not make up for that. I found the beasts useless and annoying for the most part.
    You also have very few weapon and attack variety making the action bland long term.
    It is a huge game though with alot to do, all the ubisoft standard side activities are here but there is still no replay value to this game and there is no multiplayer to extend it's life beyond finishing it once. The story is nothing special but it isn't bad. The new made up language is pretty cool and very convincing.
    As for how the game runs, it's not that good either. My fps ranged from 57-63 with occasional drops to 50ish (1080p/ultra). And I'm playing on an i7 4770K, 16GB ram and a Titan Black card, the performance should be better.
    Imo the main value of this game is potentially mildly entertaining you for long periods of time IF you absolutely have nothing better to do or play.

    In first, I would beginning with my favorite theme - game design. Ubisoft do this so pretty. I am really enjoyed, when I walking along the primal world. Flora, fauna and common landscape look so beautiful. That’s always give me high feel – I fell myself adventurer. In last my text, I tell you how much proved this primal world with real history.

    If we will talk about map, here have interest moment. Let’s start with that – map is copyright from Far Cry. Please, don’t think that is bad, just fact. It so similar. Also, it cut off on two sides – south and north, although all main plot action takes only south side. Weird. Besides, in air always staying frog, that decrease visibility range. Interest, but I don’t see far away.

    And now let’s take up the plot. It tells us about Takkar – main hero, - who after accident with his comrade during hunting on a mammoth, walking by traces his tribe Wenja. Trought some time he found girl, which lead him in places where earlier lives Wenja – after their kill or slavery tribe Urus. She want revive tribe Wenja and you help her do this.

    You will fight with another tribes (their two) and save slavery for your tribe. Also you will extend your village and increase population. My opinion – world is beautiful, plot boring as a caterpillar. We have two enemy tribes and, it fact, two bosses. And first, and second is strong similar, bosses is so boring. Tribes different only in outfit and a few abilities. It’s usually for Far Cry, when you come in alien places and kill everyone, with anthem – I defend my tribe. (smile)
    How talking Russian revolutionaries – For all good and against all bad. (Adore this quote)

    Boring enemies, okey, but what you tell about your allies? The same thing. They do not remember me, they only stay in villages and give you tasks – that’s don’t do their real person, and all work do you, what do all of they? Nothing. In final of game is so boring and useless. Together with six nonames enjoy win of Wenja. Gorgeous. That’s all.

    And now let’s tell about whether proved world?

    In first, flora and fauna, a few don’t proved. Saber-toothed tigers, giant irish deer cave bears already died, mammoth yet live, but already not in Europe. Coniferous replace deciduous tree.

    In second, Slavery don’t be popular. Probably, people look like else, they were big massive, most weight and had big head. Concerning about language – we don’t know, that’s question is so controversial even in stage Neolithic.

    In my final word will be like this – Game is good, but not over this. If you like Far Cry series, why you waiting for? Go in game. And if you want to deep in primal world, you should try play.

    A different Far Cry and with good ideas, but with a decaffeinated tone.

    To each new Far Cry, the story will get worse. In this case we have a plot that works and very simple, but this is uninteresting and not engaging.

    A too simplified gameplay in which you do not suffer to survive, with bad and too repetitive melee combat.

    Hey, did you know there were "strong" women warriors 10,000 years ago? Seriously! Having sagging **** vagina, 50% of body mass of an average male and a high pitched voice that will strike fear in your enemies were features that allowed our ancestors to fight with mammoths and conquer hostile tribes.

    Jokes aside, I wonder if anyone actually thought for a second how utterly ridiculous it is to put this narrative into a prehistoric game. I mean they did some research, right? You might as well have wooden guns, I mean why not.

    As for everything else, I like FC series. My favorite is FC3. I like the gameplay, because the story pretty much always sucks, more specifically story missions a lot of which are forced and sometimes even ridiculous. But the propaganda that they're trying to push more and more in every new entry of the series is getting out of hand. I usually disregard that and just focus on free roam gameplay which is what I love about Far Cry. And yes, it is a reskin, but I'm frankly OK with it - they put a spin/skin on all familiar things, it was a nice break before the proper entry of the series.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been playing the Far Cry franchise since the beginning, and with its ups and downs, I have to say this is the worst installment of the lot.

    We all know it's a rehash of Far Cry 4; that's okay. The problem is that they did almost nothing to conceal that. Ubisoft could have used the groundwork of Far Cry 4 and then altered it enough to give a unique experience, but they chose instead to barely dress it up and change almost none of the mechanics. That's not acceptable. Not at the prices they ask.

    The story is practically non-existent. And God is it lonely. There's almost no one to talk to, no characters to bond with or hate, and no real driving motivation to why we should play the game to begin with. There's just nothing compelling here. As far as story and character are concerned, it's all very shallow. No depth whatsoever. It could have been so much better. Your brother dies, your tribe is on the brink of extinction. Missed opportunity #1.

    The terrain is so broken and difficult, I wonder if they were aiming to make a 12,000 year old simulator. Seriously, if the map shows a road, and there's a cliff in the way, that's a problem. And of course, you have to 'unlock' the grappling hook to go any farther. Pathetic. Why not fully embrace the open world concept and give us multiple ways to get where we have to go? Missed opportunity #2.

    Stop making me go certain places just to be able to build a damned tool. Just lay out what is required to build it, and make me go find those items. This negates the entire concept of Far Cry. Ubisoft says open world games are the future, but they sure as hell don't act like it. They also did this in Far Cry 5. "Do what you want, until we tell you it's time to do something else." Missed opportunity #3.

    Hunter vision, bee bombs, poison clay pots? At this point the game has gone from clumsy FPS to magic fantasy junk. The idea of having real hunting mechanics and relying on scent, sound, and sight sounds amazing. When you are crafting a game based on a specific historical period where no one knew what a germ was, but has magic laser eyesight....You've lost the plot. Playing in 10,000 B.C. is interesting enough. You don't have to give me magical powers to dress it up. Missed opportunity #4.

    All in all, it's a boring, lazy moneygrab. No depth, clumsy magic powers, no story, no motivation, and no creativity. Good graphics and wildlife are not enough to redeem this troubled mistake of a game.

    I'll start by saying that, I perfectly understand the rejection of people to endless towers and outposts, but I liked it in FC and AS games. I understand the resentment of people towards endless craft, but I also liked that(Not when it was done too stupidly)... But at this point I want to say that I like these things paired with an interesting story and gameplay. Because if the story is short, stupid, or it doesn't exist at all, and the game-play with bugs, copied 1 in 1, or too illogical - the "house of cards" collapses and all minor controversial moments immediately become the main problems of the game. And it happened with this one: A stupidly copied map of the 4th part, an almost empty plot, a rude connection of player to gathering loot and materials, extremely awkward game-play shortening (Enemy looting - slap once, tame a wild animal - twist your hands for three seconds). This is all extremely stupid and even if in fact it wasn't a developer's plan, it is very strongly creates the impression of greed, as if this game was made only in order to sell it, without caring at all about the quality of the product and the interest of the players.
    But they did a good job on the graphics. The only good thing that can be said about this game.

    Um dos jogos mais lindos graficamente que já joguei, mas é só isso!

    Esse, definitivamente, foi o aspecto mais chamativo do jogo. Eu zerei ele seu ano de lançamento mesmo, no Xbox One, e por conta de uma promoção, consegui jogá-lo PC. Os gráficos impressionam muito - principalmente no ultra - e a otimização é incrivelmente boa para a ubisoft. O jogo rodou muito bem no Ryzen 1660 e RTX

Os gráficos impressionam muito - principalmente no ultra - e a otimização é incrivelmente boa para a ubisoft. O jogo rodou muito bem no Ryzen 1660 e RTX 2060, nas configurações máximas usando metade da GPU, e a diferença para o console era da água para o vinho.

    A historia é... decepcionante. Mais parece um contexto para trazer à franquia a essa época apenas. Um grande tema seria a integração entre os lobos e os humanos, que já foi abordado em filmes como Alpha. E velho, a direção de arte do jogo é inegavelmente bem feita. Com um enredo puxando para o emocional, junto com uma gameplay mais concisa, esse jogo seria uma verdadeira obra de arte. É uma pena que esse potencial foi desperdiçado.

    A gameplay é, como de costume, muito boa e satisfatória, contudo... algo de novo - que realmente mudasse um pouco essa linha do Far Cry 3 e 4 - seria muito bem aceito por mim. Se fosse mais lenta e te punisse mais pelos erros, talvez fosse mais interessante.

    Nota 5 pelo jogo como um todo e Nota 7 pelo valor que paguei - 10 reais.

    First of all, I want to say that I'm not an expert on Far Cry games. And this game is the first Far Cry game that I have ever completed. So maybe this is the main reason I was having fun playing Far Cry: Primal.

    Far Cry: Primal is a good experiment with style and atmosphere. I don't think that primal age is a bad choice for a game like Far Cry. You will see all typical Far Cry things

    Far Cry: Primal is a good experiment with style and atmosphere. I don't think that primal age is a bad choice for a game like Far Cry. You will see all typical Far Cry things like enemy posts, open world, breathtaking battles, and a little stupid plot. But in primal ages you don't have weapons you used to, in this game you have to use primitive weapons like clubs, bows, spears, slingshot, bombs with poison and bees. And limitation like that will allow you to watch on Far Cry from another point of view.

    I gonna give this game 5 out of 10 because I was really taking fun playing it. Isn't that is most important in video games?

    Far Cry: Primal is a very good experiment with the Far Cry series, and I wish this game has a better plot and things that make you survive like hunger, thirst, etc.

    Я уважаю серию игр Far Cry, Но многие со мной согласятся что фар край это уже выжитая корова из которой выжили все молоко какие то части были хорошие а какието плохие, но эта игра одна из худший в СЕРИИ!!

    Я уважаю серию игр Far Cry, Но многие со мной согласятся что фар край это уже выжитая корова из которой выжили все молоко какие то части были хорошие а какието плохие, но эта игра одна из худший в СЕРИИ!!

    Минусы:
    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!!!

    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.

Механики с животными, хорошая оптимизация, приятное управление, всё эти плюсы не могут перекрыть даже пару критических минусов. Игра пустышка, о которой нечего абсолютно сказать после прохождения, миллион тупых квестов в стиле подай и принеси, есть пару интересных квестов, интересных персонажей, герой ничего из себя не представляет, какова его мотивация и интересы тоже не ясны. Стать самым сильным приматом? Игра элементарна, проходил на максимальном уровне сложности, за 24 часа открыл всю карту и завершил игру на 80%, в планах было выбить 100, но пылесосить 10-15 часов тупые задания и дурацкие пещеры лабиринты как то не особо захотелось. Максимальная оценка этому проекту 6 с натяжкой, реальная 4. Не понимаю как люди могут ставить этой игре оценки 8-9, сложно представить что об этой игре будут помнить через пару лет, хоть и эта рецензия написана уже в 2021, игра прошлась исключительно на безрыбье, да и комп не позволяет играть во что хочешь. Для сторожил серии far cry, нормальная забава на 20-30 часов, для людей которые играют в игры ради отдыха тоже отличная забава на пару неделек, но для геймеров которые хоть как то требовательны к игре, не тратьте своё время попусту Expand

Fighting with bow, club or wasps bombs is nice, but less satisfying than shooting and gun feeling from Far Cry 4. Story is less interesting, content is artificially enlarged with boring activity known from years.

The combat is so satisfying, the characters are so interesting, and the language is a really cool addition. The main story is also very cool and follows a very intriguing tale. This game encapsulates the Far Cry charm in a very interesting setting.

    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.
