    Primal, while not an FPS, is unmistakably a Far Cry. Ubisoft tried an experiment with this new setting and managed to refresh the franchise without altering its core.

    Solid, engaging and technically delicious, Far Cry Primal is a spin off that amuses the player even without firearms and vehicles, although the playful infrastructure is too conservative. On PC the only major differences are the sixty frames per second and a sharper image.

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

    If you’re even remotely interested in the Far Cry games then you’ll be right at home with Far Cry Primal, but if you’re looking for a completely fresh experience you’re going to be sorely disappointed.

    Far Cry Primal on the PC looks like a well prepared conversion - stable, pretty and optimized. But these days that's not enough - a game running on a much more powerful hardware should be unique and FCP isn't. It's hard to justify spending money on a superb PC that will run the game in the highest settings when an equally good console version runs great on a cheaper machine. And you need to remember that Primal is just a visual overhaul of Far Cry 4.

    If they had put another year of development toward it, maybe then we would've seen what we were hoping it would be.

    Far Cry Primal is more and yet less of the same Far Cry we’ve been playing for the past few years, minus a few fun systems. It's not worth the asking price, and demands more of your time than it deserves.

    Lots of stuff to craft
    lots of upgrades to do for your cave
    Lots of skills to level up on similar with previous FarCry games

    Why so much negative reviews? Well they probably don't even have the game and just hate Ubisoft. I mean come on! Look what they are saying. "boring"? "Ugly"? LMAO!    … Expand

I could not put it down for a minute. This is a completely new experience, before we have not seen anything like it. I played it over 100 hours, and I want to, but I do not give more jobs. Why it is so short? And why there are so few towers that can be captured.Yet this is the best of what I played for the last time. I felt the game at my fingertips. Repulsed three times on the emotions. Do not listen to haters of the bottom of the Internet. It's really GOTY. Oh my god it's just 10/10, god 10/10!!! But for fans it 20/10… Expand

    Si pudiera dar un 6,5 se lo daba, pero cuando se publicó en 2016 no habían muchos juegos ambientados en la prehistoria. Es la misma fórmulaSi pudiera dar un 6,5 se lo daba, pero cuando se publicó en 2016 no habían muchos juegos ambientados en la prehistoria. Es la misma fórmula que en los anteriores juegos de Far Cry, por eso el público ha castigado a este juego, pero aunque sea más de lo mismo no significa que sea malo, porque la fórmula Farcry sigue siendo divertida e intuitiba para jugadores nuevos. Graficamente luce bien, sus escenarios naturales soy muy bonitos, las bestias salvajes muy bien representadas y en general divertido de jugar. Si no has jugado a ningún Farcry éste seguro que te gusta, pero no es el mejor ni mucho menos.… Expand

For me FarCry Primal is a 4/10 game and im not even gonna speak about the graphics , sounds ...
    This game is mediocre because its mother (Ubisoft) decided to act greedy and it is not the first time AC, FarCry ...So for me , one should be patient for some kinda sale or something and then get as for me i wont buy it if the price is Over 15 bucks ( thanx to my friend i managed to play it for as long as i managed to get myself bored in the jungle :D ), Plus i had my fun controlling my pet when i was playing a hunter back in WORLD OF WARCRAFT :D

I couldnt stand it for more than 2 hours. And im not talking about the fact the game was made as kinda expansion for FC4, no, thats not what was worrying me. I didnt have any expectations before i start, i was ready for something new and unique. But the plot is awful and hardly understandable, gameplay seem unclear and exhausting by its boreness. I just deleted this game and won't try to play it again.… Expand
