    Really fun game that is easy to sink many hours into. So many different things to do around the map that the main story isnt the only thing to this game.

    Ubisoft is back at it once again with a Far Cry game however this time around they have used a setting that is not at all reminiscent to their past iterations.

    You now take on the role of Takkar set in 10,000BC where you will be tasked with protecting your village against neighbouring tribes. The story is there, albeit quite forgettable. Gameplay consists of gathering, various open
    Ubisoft is back at it once again with a Far Cry game however this time around they have used a setting that is not at all reminiscent to their past iterations.

    You now take on the role of Takkar set in 10,000BC where you will be tasked with protecting your village against neighbouring tribes. The story is there, albeit quite forgettable.

    Gameplay consists of gathering, various open world tasks, hunting and exploring. The loop gets repetitive however Ubisoft has always allowed the player to tackle most objectives however the player sees fit depending on their playstyle which is enough to always keep the gameplay different.

    You get access to many weapons and accessories in your arsenal but the main weapons will consist of a bow and closed ranged combo with a club or spear. Combat itself was quite fun and addicting.

    Overall this was a solid play and completionists will find that they would be able to finish off everything is about 30 hours.

    Brutal Stone Age survival action that is a lot of fun to play, but it's hard to believe how familiar the Far Cry formula feels even in a setting as different as this.

    This far cry release is the best or close second for me the graphics are so good and almost all animals are tamable, and this game encourages you to decide different ways to solve problems you could use stealth, no stealth, wooly mammoths and way more ways to solve problems. This is why I think this game is very good.

    Enjoyable and fun, nothing more, nothing less. I like the atmosphere and overall fight and stealth mechanics. Story is meh and quests can get repetitive.

    Play as a violent caveman who can tame beasts and ride them. Bit on the short side but still pretty good.

    The setting used to disguise the Far Cry we’ve already seen is fresh and wonderful, it’s easy to sink into this wild, beautiful, majestic world. Primal was put together skillfully, it’s not an outstanding game, but it’s so enjoyable that I devoured it hour after hour with an appetite of a cave bear. [04/2016, p.28]

    The most innovative Far Cry since the second game, Primal is a tremendously enthralling streamlining of the series, and a powerful trip back in time. [Issue#268, p.70]
